I see some places simply calling it "Coronavirus" which at this time everyone knows what it means, despite it being technically inaccurate.
HKFP dropped "Wuhan" from the name after one complaint on twitter. So while they don't call it by its official name (which is not at all reader
or SEO friendly) they did accommodate the naming convention.
I think it's good to debate stuff like this. Let's get better at considering the feelings of others!
