No. That's so false it's shocking. The name of the virus comes from the fact that it is genetically a corona virus. There are 7 known corona viruses that affect humans and every single one of them are respiratory.
What ever data 'sources' you're reading are wrong.
Looks like I need to start quoting your posts since they tend to get flagged into oblivion.

This is a weird claim, since in the post above you specifically pointed out that its name contains "Severe Acute RESPIRATORY Syndrome", which yes, is a hint that it was thought to be respiratory. But four other human coronaviruses don't have "respiratory" in their name. It's not like coronaviruses automatically get that name.

This is true, but I don't think that means that they are "not allowed" to have symptoms that are outside the lungs. The table in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus#Infection_in_human... lists diarrhea as a fairly frequent symptom of MERS (26%) and SARS-1 (20-25%). As a molecular biologist you will know more about this than I do, but it looks to me like these respiratory viruses can affect different parts of the body. That is also how it looks to medical professionals in the field, as discussed in the featured article.

You had plenty of opportunities in this thread to post your own sources. I think the only time you even referred to a source was to the Wikipedia page which I quoted back at you, which made you sad.
