So were Marburg, Ebola, Zika, Lyme, Rocky Mountain, Spanish Flu, and I'm tired of typing out all the names. Left as an exercise for the reader. You can ask Elon's new AI if you're curious.That's because Covid was just a variation/strain of pre-existing viruses.
Heck, Ebola has multiple variations and they're all named after where they originated from.
Variation/strain has nothing to do with how these were named...except for covid because of politics.
I'm not suggesting any conspiracy, btw. Just being overly sensitive to Chinese feelings by people who are overly sensitive in general, though I'm sure there are some fifth columnists thrown in.
Personally, I preferred "Winnie the Pooh Flu" as an personal insult to Xi.
