  1. The name of the beer corresponds to a vicious virus. Oh, I wonder what the name has in common ...

    1. ...with the book? I think it is to do with regions of origin.

    2. ...but I am often wrong... I have just thought of another possibility, connected to viciousness

    3. Yes, in this case it's Mexican beer, Mexican author. Name and title leave room for more associations.
      By the way, the author is (was) better than the beer.

    4. I have only had Corona once, and only ever will have because I became immune (that is to say, I didn't like it). Hopefully its viral namesake may have the same effect on me - i.e. I will survive without enjoying it and will never have it again.

    5. Same with me. And re its namesake: I don't wish to make its acquaintance.
