Most accurate? That would be the clinical name COVID-19 (Corona Virus Infections Disease 2019)

COVID-19 is the name of the disease caused by the SARS-COV-II virus (official name) a.k.a. "Chinese Virus", a.k.a. "Honey Badger" virus-- whatever you want to call it. It doesn't discriminate which hosts it occupies.

See that, I tried to show how smart I was, and yet made myself look like a dumbass and spoke incorrectly. You are correct sir, COVID-19 is the disease caused by the virus, not the virus itself.
