UK strain? I thought naming a virus after a country was racist.

Europeans use backwards nomenclature, like dates 2021 March 19, so instead of the UK Flu it would be abbreviated as Flu U.K.domiciled or F.U.K.'D

Apparently only if said countries name is China but the UK stream, the Brazil strain, etc. Is perfectly acceptable.
