We are now learning many new words

Coronavirus, hydroxychloroquine, covidiot

Using many new terms

Social distancing, self-isolation, flatten the curve

Giving many old words new meaning

Zoom, furlough, lockdown

Expressing many words as acronyms

PPE, NHS, SAGE

But a few words are being greatly misused

Statistics, facts, truth
