Trump persists in calling this the "Chinese Virus" but no-way is he a racist! A convenient smoke-screen for poor health provision for the US poor & his own incompetence!

Skoosh,

How is this different to the 'Spanish' flu of 1918?  It is what it is due to where it originates.

Did anybody make a fuss and say 'Avian' flu was maligning birds.

The difference is that the virus already has two names which most folk in the world are only too well aware of, even Trump!!!

Well I guess the Spanish flu has a scientific name also but I haven't a clue what it is cos it is known as the Spanish flu.

Don't see the need for all these acerbic comments personally.

It is a UK Brexit rather than an English one.

According to the news last night the C of E have said only 5 people allowed at a wedding - vicar, bride, groom and two witnesses. Funerals I think to minister, immediate family, and funeral directors.

Actually the Spanish at the time were not happy about it being called Spanish 'flu'.  Alternative names for it that don't cause subconcious blame on a particular country or ethnic group are: 1918 pandemic 'flu' or H1N1 'flu'

Apparently local funeral directors are not allowing family pall bearers and they were only using a bier, the man called it a "trolley" it is an old fashioned way of transporting coffins into a church I think, this was as yesterday, also the curtain has to remain closed, I assume they remain closed till the mourners have left, it is a precaution I suppose but the deceased didn't die from the virus, sad times but we have to go by the present guide lines, not everything will be as the deceased has requested
