Japanese encephalitis virus? Crimea-Congo fever virus? Bolivian hemorrhagic fever? Most, like the term "Wuhan Flu" are given more specific names after localized areas. Hantavirus, Marburg Virus, Lassa fever, etc etc.


Learning about these other viruses has indeed been illuminating. I appreciate the examples.

Concerning to me though is still the context surrounding Trump's desire to refer to it as the "China virus" given the circumstances, especially since other world health organizations don't refer to it as such, and this disparity is (I assume) not present in the examples you've provided.

WHO just recently changed their naming scheme.


/e Personally, I like... Wuhan Flu. It has a nice ring to it.

Trump didnt start calling it the China Virus exclusively until the media started race baiting.

Then he did it on purpose to mock them.

Chinese parti is trying to hide China's c19 second wave by saying it's coming front the outside...
That's it and all countries may experience a second wave till vaccine or cure release.

Yet best* 'cure' is half of lethal dose of chloroquine.

*or one of the best I'm not a specialist
