--- Comment #2 from Nick Levinson <Nick_Levinson at yahoo.com> ---
That's half a solution. The string COVID-119 should fail but, per your
explanation, won't. Even if a coronavirus called COVID-119 is in the world's
lexicon, a rarely-used word should not be in the LO dictionary because the
string in an average Writer document would more likely be a misspelling of
something else and therefore should be treated as a misspelling. The same
principle applies to COVID-18 and COVID-9, which I suppose exist but those
strings are more likely to be errors. As to case, I can add Covid to an LO
dictionary but LO won't let Covid-119 be shown as wrong.

This looks like a generic problem about an alpha string and a numstring in
either order and separated by a hyphen. If so, it is not just a matter of
adding one of the strings to a dictionary.

Thus, I'm reopening.
