Spanish flu, is a flu. I don’t see anything anywhere in any context that disputes this. Sure one can circle round and round all political correctness, but these things are so direct that the smallest voice in support easily withstands all the organized machinery doing global propaganda.
That article makes it clear that H1N1 is a virus type and not a disease.
In terms of “disease” you would say you have a cold, or you have the flu. Disease as in a set of symptoms with common cause.
Or you talk in terms of “pathogen” you could say you have H1N1 or covid-19.
In terms of “symptoms” you could say you have a cough or a fever.
There is no context where you’d say you have spanish flu, or wuhan flu.
So those terms are neither correct nor common usage. Not in english anyway.
But TBH this is just a linguistic thing. I made much more interesting commentary in my other reply to you. I’d like to hear your thoughts on that one.
