New Covid-19 Variants

The 1918 flu pandemic became known as the “Spanish flu” because wartime censors minimized reports of the illness while the Spanish press did not.

Yes, I'm well aware of that. It's also suspected the Spanish Flu originated from a pig farm close to a military barracks in Kansas, then spread from there as the soldiers headed over to Europe to hunt them some Germans.

So if we're going to be blaming China for KoVid-19, and the UK for some new strain, then I guess we blame the US for Spanish Flu?

Or we can just grow up, and realize we're talking about a virus. Aside from things like natural climate and vegetation, originating country has very little to do with "manufacturing" a virus, or if any when a virus makes the leap from animal to human.
