from your link: “The World Health Organization (WHO) announced the name Tuesday, saying it was careful to find a name without stigma.
“We had to find a name that did not refer to a geographical location, an animal, or an individual or group of people,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a call with reporters.”

we mustn't offend anyone. No Wuhan flu, No hongkong H1N1, no West Nile, no Nigerian Lassa. let's call killer virus something cute and ‘easy to pronounce’ so everybody feels warm and fuzzy.
