They symbolism is astonishing on so many levels. You can't make this shit up. It's almost enough to convince me that none of this is real, I mean, it all just has to be a simulation, how can any of this shit be real?

It's called that because of its shape - no other symbolism intended.

Another thing I've read is that it looks like the sun's corona during an eclipse.

Sort of my point. The symbolism is there nonetheless and it's not alone.
Our President is named "Trump".
His low bar AG is named "Barr".
Did you know "Fauci" means Sickle? ( a reaping hook)
And on and on...Yes, coincidence I'm sure, but the symbolism still whacks me upside the head sometimes...

(2,977 posts)4. It Looks Like A Crown
With the spikes, that's why researchers named it "Corona". Purely coincidental, but I find all the coincidences lately to be quite amazing and surreal.
