How about coronavirus?

Also xi jinping would get offended by Winnie Flu because people seem to think he looks like Winnie the Pooh.

spanish flu is called that because only spain was able to report on it without fear of censorship during WWI. not because it originated there, lol

I am adam conoveur here to bring you moments in animated history.

No but still when a disease gets named after a geographical region often its viewed as just a name. I have never heard a person get in a huff over west nile virus, ebola reston/marburg (forgive the spelling red the hotzone back in the eighth grade, lonestar ticks (texas), dengue river fever, or the several rodent based viruses that have colloquial names for the regions they occur in. I mean if pizza rat bit a youtuber and they named it the queens rat flu I doubt the state of new york nor the royal family would make a fuss.

I just think south parks pc principal is getting ready to come back on the air and scream about the naming of virus' s and diseases in the history books and demand a rename every disease from german measles to male pattern baldness(because thats sexist)

if you haven't seen that there's absolutely been an uptick of racism against asian people, especially in america, then you just haven't been paying attention. also, the virus already has a scientific name (SARS-CoV-2) and a colloquial one (coronavirus or COVID-19). literally no reason to think up another name

I just think south park

historically not a great idea

@TheWitchMorgana

Honestly in my community its not noticable. Yes we got idiots that fly the rebel flags but for the most part the asians(korean) are pretty much well respected and we still buy from their restaurants, gas stations, and other businesses. So yeah I haven't seen it but I could imagine it.

The othe two points is that the south park show is probably gonna lampoon the quarantine and the virus names just because its there business to do so for low brow entertainment.

The Adam Conover thing was from an infotainment host of Adam ruins everything. He spoke specifically on the spanish flu a few years back and you nearly word for word matched one of his comments on the spanish flu

Why do people think calling it Coronavirus is a common name? Thats a description of what the virus looks like. SARS was also a coronavirus.
Gee thanks doctor science we did not know this
