Covid-19 and Coronavirus just won't do. I like 'Wuhan Flu' or 'Wu-Flu', but think my favourite is 'Slant-Eyed Death Bug'.

The name will come when people around us start dropping like flies.

I thought they go from one name to another so you don't get used to hearing it.
A bit like when Isis became Isil, etc

When I were a nipper in Singapore, the favoured pejorative for a chinee was chogey. Chogey Choker or Chogey Bogey I reckon
