No, I didn't fall face-first onto my keyboard.... 
That's the name of the new Eli-Lilly coronavirus drug that the FDA just approved.
I'm glad that we're coming up with vaccines and medicines, but who is coming up with these names?

It is a funny sounding name when you try to sound it out.
There is a specific formula used in naming drugs.
For ex: when I saw that it ended in "mab" I knew it stood for monoclonal antibodies
When I searched, I found that "vi" beofre it mean = Viruses, antiviral indications as in -vimab
As for the "Bamlami" part-, It sounds like the song "RAMA LAMA DING DONG"

Yeah, I know there are reasons behind the naming of a lot of scientific things, but it's much funnier pretending to not know that...
I've seen a bunch of comments on the name...
"oh, black betty
bamlanivimab
whoa, black betty
bamlanivimab"
"Congrats to David Lee Roth for winning Eli Lilly's "Name Our Covid-19 Drug" contest!"
"Bamlanivimab. So close to being a palindrome that you have to wonder why they didn't go all the way? I'm thinking "Bamlanivinalmab" would have nailed it"
