Ebola is named for river near its origin, Lyme disease comes from Lyme, CT, Zika comes from the Zika Forest in Uganda, then there’s German Measles, West Nile Fever, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Rift Valley Fever, list goes on.

Many illnesses have eponymous names. It’s harmless https://t.co/LXhrukxNTg

Listen here Jack, in my day we didn't call it the "Wuhan Virus." We called it the Oriental Malady. Buddy of mine, went by the name Cornflake Jackson, he got it and had to spend forty days in a barnyard wrapped in tinfoil. "Pal, thats just the way it is," I said.
