ИСТИНА

Though neither the British National Corpus, nor the Contemporary Corpus of American English do yet register derivatives from the newest abbreviated medical terms Covid-19 and SARS-CoV-2 (which have already made part of our everyday discourse), the biomedical databases available give us access to most recent articles on the current coronavirus pandemic, which demonstrate a wide variety of the derivational capacity of these terms. Most of the derivatives, expectedly, contain productive suffixes and their synonyms –like, -free, –type and prefixes such as anti-, post-, pre-. The brevity of the form seems to be essential for further derivation.
