I agree. I am still highly miffed at Spain for the Spanish Flu of 1918, over a hundred years ago, and do not expect to be friendly with them again any time soon. I do not understand why the rest of the world has not removed Spain from the map over it. I mean, we have nukes and stuff now - WHY is Spain still there?
And the Hong Kong flu from my childhood - why has Hong Kong not been sunk by now?
There's German measles - how did Germany escape retribution for that?
Smallpox - why are short people not being herded into camps to contain it?
The list goes on. "China flu" is just the first time the propagandists have had a problem with disease naming conventions.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
