Help[Opinions] Re: Corona

Beer, yeah. That would always have made it unappealing, at least as an Anglophone name. It might have seemed charismatic, even brassy, as a Hispanic one.
Coronavirus was always the name for cold viruses. I learned it long ago. Named, I presume, because of how it looks under a microscope (only one plane is in focus). So it would look like a (cartoonish) crown seen from above.
I don't like the sound of Corona ... k'Rona .. to me it's just kind of grating. I like the idea of the name, meaning crown.
