Nobody fusses over the Spanish flu because there’s little point renaming something 100 years later. Trump is actively calling this something that it isn’t to dog whistle it his supporters, and while there is more than one coronavirus unless you are in a specific scientific community there’s a 100% chance you mean the one killing tens of thousands of people right now.
