UMFan12 said:Holy shit. Don’t know if you’ve heard, but this is called COVID-19. Just a little news flash for you. Most viruses are named after where they begin, but this one ISN’T. Is it really that hard to comprehend? And also, the “Spanish Flu” didn’t originate in Spain. In fact, nobody knows the exact origin. The virus was still attached to Spain, because they were first to have national media report about it. Little history lesson, because I guess you need it. Simple fact is, most outbreaks are no longer attached to the place they are found, and are instead put under the name of the “family” of viruses they come from. “COVID”. Stop the bullshit excuses.tourist said:The Spanish Flu was so named after it was discovered in Spain. The Asian Flu was first found in Asia. IT IS the Wuhan Flu as it was traced to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in CHINA! Kung Flu was a comedic offshoot of the forgettable TV series. There has been a concerted effort to erase the origin of this much studied, cultured virus. Why? Use your brain, why? Racism! Racism! Typical left wing horseshit. THAT is disgusting.
ebola is named after a river where it was first identified, and still gets called that, same as the mideast varient of sars, etc.. the reason nobody calls this the 'wuhan flu', which it was called in china for a long time, and still is called in some places of china, is because the ccp has politicized that sh-t out of it in an attempt to divert any possibility that they initially screwed the pooch dealing with it, and because they've bought off the w.h.o.. i most often disagree with touristo, but not so much here. there hasn't exactly been a rush to re-label the south african, british, or brazil variants, i wonder why?
