    No, the popular Mexican beer Corona is not affiliated with the deadly coronavirus that's spreading around the world, and Constellation Brands (NYSE:STZ), which owns the Corona brand in the U.S., told Business Insider "We believe, by and large, that consumers understand there's no linkage between the virus and our business."

    But Google search terms would beg to disagree. Since the virus began to take on global proportions in the middle of January, online searches for the phrase " beer coronavirus" surged over 3,200% globally while "corona beer virus" rocketed 2,300%. Similar terms that seemingly link the beer brand and the virus have also risen by hundreds of percent since.

    That is the level of stupid we have to contend with.

    That beer maker should those in the health sector who named this virus after their beer.:D

    Mind you bolt of them have caused people to collapse into a heap on the street.

    Apart from being funny this is scary how dumb people are.

    I hope the next scary illness is classified as RTE.:P
