    They're not a company. Corona brand is owned by Anheuser-Busch

    Whoever in charge of naming these viruses really screwed them though

    Will have to rename or discontinue. A shame because it's good beer.

    People are absolute morons if they stop buying Corona beer solely because of this coincidental virus name.

    Makes you realize how really stupid the average human is.

    Think of how stupid the average person is and then realize that half of them are stupider than that.

    We also found found a CNN report on a survey conducted by 5W Public Relations that found that 38 percent of Americans would not order a Corona beer "under any circumstances" because of the coronavirus outbreak. This is misinformed and stupid. Corona beer can bestow upon you a light buzz and give you gas because you chugged it so fast. Add a lime (no relation to Lyme disease), and you've cut down on your chances of catching scurvy (maybe?). Corona beer cannot, however, give you coronavirus, as there is no known link between Corona beers and coronavirus. Corona is Spanish means "crown," and the virus in question has spikes on it like a crown.

    They should just do an ad campaign claiming if you drink their beer you will be immune to the virus. They would kill it. CNN would probably have "experts" come on and say it is true.

    Corona is brewed by AB InBev but it's US importer is a conglomerate known as Constellation Brands, which is getting hammered.

    ABInBev is getting hammered because noone in US is switching to beer and nobody that drank beer is loyal consumer anymore. Seltzer, wine, booze all killing beer.

    Conorna seltzer coming out next week nationally....really bad timing.

    My local Kroger had a big stack of Corona 12 packs displayed in a major walk-thru area today. I guess sales are lagging.

    Fast forward pandemic chaos: What if you have a family member die from corona virus? I would imagine you would never buy the beer simply due to the name reminder.

    Could see a fraternity hosting a bad taste party, surviving corona, kegs everywhere.
