Enjoy your quarantine listening while you can

The naming of epidemics (pandemics) after places of origin or concentration is how it has always been done...more examples the Spanish Flu did not originate there but was centered there once it arrived. Ebola was named after the Ebola River in Africa. MERS means Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. On and on it goes... nothing racist or nationist about it.

Personally you can call it whatever you like, its the results and impact that are the concern not its name
So yes I am going to let it drop as it is of little import under the circumstances.
But it was universally known in the media as coronavirus UNTIL our glorious leader started spouting China Virus.
At least that is the first occasion I heard it referenced as such.
And if there were earlier reference so be it, I am no expert and do not claim to be.

Do me a favour and run a quick google search.
Try corona virus
then try china virus

Calling it China (better Wuhan) virus in 2020 is much more specific that calling it Coronavirus. How about trying SARS-CoV-2, if we really want to be picky about accuracy?

Thanks for letting it drop, Uber. 😛
