A Filipino mom recently gave birth to a son whom she named Covid Bryant—inspired by the late legendary NBA champion Kobe Bryant and COVID-19. She gave birth to Covid on Mar. 15, the first day of quarantine in Metro Manila, and has since gone viral.

Days after, more reports of babies named after COVID surfaced online.
Covid Bryant x Covid Rose. They will meet someday and will talk about the history of their names and will eventually fall in love. And they will have cute little quaranteens. 😆😆😆 https://t.co/axqoMF8NoC
