      Isn’t punching in the face supposed to spread the xhinese flu?

        Referring to COVID-19 as “xhinese flu” is considered xenophobia. Further use of that term will result in a ban.

          Even though I disagree with this rule whose basis appears to be reddit-like political correctness, I’ll follow.

          Is there a place where one can formally contest this rule?

            Nope. It’s up to me to interpret the rules, and that is the conclusion I’ve come to. Just use the terms agreed upon by the WHO and the scientific community more broadly and you’ll be fine.

          I am just suspiscious of what govt does. I still don’t know what kind of fear China put into politicians so that Chinese flu doesn’t exist, but Indian variant does.

            according to conventional wisdom, you shouldn’t call it Indian variant just as you shouldn’t call it Wuhan flu. it’s delta variant and covid 19. there’s no hypocrisy there. they (the WHO i guess) are being sensible and consistent.

            so there’s one less reason to be suspicious :)

              You got it the wrong way. Conventional wisdom says it should be chinese flu, just like spanish flu. Delta variant and covid19 come from the current fashionable wisdom.

                Spanish flu is conventionally called Influenza A.

                I guess all this stuff is debatable. In historical discussions, you might use the more geographical names, but never in medicine. No-one ever gets diagnosed with Spanish flu these days.

                  Conventional name is spanish flu only. Hardly anyone knows that Spanish flu was a type of Influenza A, actually this remains debateable if it was indeed Influenza A.

                  People do get Influenza A today, but not Spanish flu.

                    have a look at the Wikipedia article. it was all explained quite clearly near the top. people get Spanish flu all the time, there are global epidemics every few years, but they call it influenza A H1N1, because that’s the proper name.
