Virus Names are Frequently from Regional Origins

Trump is correct to generically call it the 'Chinese Virus.' So, STOP THE HYSTERIA. STOP THE CHINESE PROPAGANDA.

This is a piggyback off the post down below because the specific title is more search engine and 'insta-lanche' friendly (hint hint).
"President Donald Trump drew backlash Monday night after posting a tweet using the phrase "Chinese Virus."
All the dutiful twitter c==kholsters for the ChiComs swallowed hard, then vented their outrage at Orange Man Bad for naming the virus which can't be named.

Perhaps it's been assigned 'whistle blower' status.

But regions ARE traditional names for outbreaks:

1918: The Spanish Flu - not the first outbreaks, but first widely reported
1937:  West Nile virus - guess where
1947: Zika Virus - the Ziika Forest of Uganda
1968: The Hong Kong Flu - Hong Kong!
1997: Nipah virus - from the Nipah village in Malaysia
2016: Ebola Virus - the Ebola River in the Congo, Africa
2018: Zika Virus, again.
2020: Wuhan or Chinese (or slang, kung flu) Virus

Because that's where it originated. STOP THE HYSTERIA. STOP THE CHINESE PROPAGANDA!
