    "Coronavirus: Children affected by rare Kawasaki-like disease"

    Not hearing much outcry from the Japanese, in particular residents of Kawasaki and owners of Kawasaki motors, calling this disease having been named 'Kawasaki Disease" as racist...

    Still don't see why it couldn't be called Wuhan Virus.

    • Kawasaki disease is named after the doctor who first published about it. And the virus causing covid-19 already has a name: CoV-SARS2.sr_rosa
    • "The disorder was first described in 1967 by Tomisaku Kawasaki"

      Do think you're being racist now about Kawasaki. lol.
