"Spanish" Flu did not originate in Spain. Look it up.And the PC police are out!
The correct FULL name is Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) btw. Colloquially people use the source of a disease when the scientific name is too cumbersome. Spanish flu, German measles are just two examples. "Covid19" is an attempt to use a shorter term (apparently "SarzCuv2" was considered too long also).
It saddens me to see low-information dotards tossing around slurs without regard for the marginalizing effects those words can have. There are so many valued and longtime members of TDIClub who are of Asian descent, or have family in Asia, it's a shame that some here would feel need to denigrate them with these misguided labels.
