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.
