Sure let’s change history so we can virtue-signal.
To be politically correct and all.
These people need to be publicly mocked and laughed at.
They’ll shut-up about this once they realize Spanish are only white folks.
Easy decision.
Does changing the name conform to progressive idiocy?
If yes, of course, change the name.
After all, we don’t need no stinkin’ history (says Winston Smith).
The name is better. Idiots. We KNOW when the Spanish flu was, what is wrong with calling history what it is.
They have NOTHING better to do?
There is no discussion, just troublemaking by leftists. Follow the money trail to China.
I can go along with this just so long as they always refer to China as a leftist Communist thuggish dictatorial crew of no good scum.
Can we change the name of Fort Bragg Fever, too?
This time in history will be regarded as one of the worst because of libtards and their socialism.
Doesn’t Wikipedia have ties to Soros?
They’ll start naming them like Hurricanes.
Coincidentally, it has been theorized that — despite its name — the Spanish flu may have originated in China. Close to 100,000 Chinese laborers were put to work during WWI, passing it to the English and French. Once it hit the sprawling military hospital installations, where many patients had been gassed, all hell broke loose. It’s no coincidence that researchers developing each year’s seasonal flu vaccine do their research in Asian and in China in particular.
The Spanish flu didn’t really start in Spain so they could at least make a case for it. No such excuse for Wuhan
Coronavirus.
While National Geographic admits THAT strain probably originated in China, too.

So if they want to change the name from 'Spanish Flu', to 'Yet another Plague/Flu from China', I'm OK with that...
The USSR would be proud!
Offensive to residents of Southern Connecticut, we need to rename Lyme Disease... and, while we’re at it, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
More insanity.
