You think we (western society) would have contained that sh*t better, we have ars*e holes that wont even wear a simple mask. (whinge) 'dont tell me to do that'
White people have no f*cking idea about the mask stuff.
See the idiots in Vic and NSW, if we had the populous of U.S, we would look as stupid as the Americans appear.

MERS = Middle East (Saudi Arabia) - Named for area of Origin

SARS = Yunnan China - Not Named for area of Origin
Russian Flu = Asiatic Flu of 1899 - Named for area of (presumed) Origin
Spanish Flu - - Named for area of (presumed) Origin
1957 Asian Flu - Named for area of (presumed) Origin (Singapore)
1968 Honk Kong Flu - Named for area of (presumed) Origin
2009 H1N1 Swine Flu - not named for area of Origin (USA/Mexico)


IMHO it is OK to call it the Wuhan Virus, but worthy of note that 2009 H1N1 should have been called the US Virus
Also note I refer not to the GFC of 2007/8, but rather I call it the US Financial Crisis
