It's not a conspiracy theory, but a reference to labels that has been around for a very long time!
The label on an older hygiene spray states it is effective against “coronavirus”.
It is claimed that “the” coronavirus has been known since 2016, so it is just hype.
“Coronavirus” is the name of an entire family of viruses, and the date on the label is the printing date.
It is claimed on Facebook that a hygiene spray from the company “ Colikek ” called “VibaSept Hygiene Spray” from 2016 already states that it helps against coronavirus - for the creator, a clear sign that you have SARS-CoV-2 already knew years ago that the “hype” is intended to distract from other things.
Here are some of the Facebook postings:
The source of most of the images is a posting on Facebook , proof of the date of manufacture is said to be a note on the label: “GD-12/16”.

A look at a current bottle
Let's take a quick look at the current bottle, because it shouldn't say "coronavirus" anymore, as Bachmann claims, and the supposed manufacturer's date should be more recent.
A current bottle of the hygiene spray
As you can see, a current bottle not only says “Coronavirus”, but also “GD-12/16”. So do we also have an ancient bottle in the cupboard or is there something completely different behind it?
What does GD-12/16 mean?
A friendly lady at “Coolike” was able to explain this to us over the phone:
It’s not the date of manufacture (which would be bad with a current bottle), but rather the printing status of the label . This means that the information on the label was last updated in December 2016 and the information has not changed since then.
Why does it say “coronavirus”?
Because the coronavirus doesn't exist. Corona is a whole family of viruses, named after their specific appearance under the microscope, which resembles the spikes of a crown (Latin: corona).
SARS CoV-2 (Wuhan virus), well-known representatives of the coronaviruses are SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV . In order not to list every known and lesser-known coronavirus individually, they wisely decided to simply write the “family name” on the packaging.
The confusion surrounding “the” coronavirus
SARS CoV-2 has now become engrained in many people’s minds instead of giving it a clear and simple name such as “Wuhan virus”. However, this is now leading many people to equate the concept of family with the new virus.
The pathogen that is currently making headlines is commonly called coronavirus.
Scientifically, it was initially given the abbreviation “ 2019-nCoV ”, and later given the official name “ SARS-CoV-2 ” by the WHO.
The abbreviation “ COVID-19 ,” also given by the WHO, stands for the lung disease that the virus can cause.“SARS” stands for Severe A cute Respiratory Syndrome , affects breathing.
COVID ” simply stands for Corona Virus Disease .

Conclusion
The creators of the postings did not discover any conspiracy, but were simply subject to two errors:
1. “Coronavirus” refers to an entire family of viruses, not just the new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2
2. The indication “GD-12/16” does not indicate the date of manufacture, but rather the printing status of the label.
