Thanks to the Chinese virus I may have to cancel my plans of visiting my daughter in japan for the third time. Last year in April, this year in February and now probably in July.

So we're calling Ebola the Sudan virus, right? Smallpox the Egyptian virus?? Nah, nobody calls them that. So why call it the Chinese/China virus?

there is also a virus called the sudan virus that is a strain of the ebolavirus. it’s not unheard of to name a virus after the place it originated
