Please take your gutter language and misguided 'political correctness' elsewhere. This virus is called 'Wuhan' because it originated/was first reported there.
Actually only some Americans call it the Wuhan virus....picked up from Trump I guess.
The medical term for it is Covid-19.
Most of the Virus has been traced to England. Perhaps we should call it London virus or Lake District virus. Another possibility is Abbey virus.
The virus can be called a number of names and be accurate. The name WUHAN or CHINA attached to virus was/is a name dreamed up by DJTrump (or a confederate). It was originally spotted on speech transcripts where the President crossed out the Corona and Covid names, correct from medical science and changed it to the more politically charged China Virus. Hopefully, this was not the reason so many Asians were/are attacked here in the free US of A.
I liked the comment regarding checking for a Hernia. That was more clever than the original posting, by far.
Got an idea, let’s just call it “this damn virus” and let it go at that.

I swear I saw her hanging around outside that state-run lab in Wuhan with that guy in a white coat and mask.
It should officially be labeled as the "Chinese Virus." Anyway, I compliment you on a good photo and a good caption.

Humm, perhaps he should check for a hernia by holding the breast and instructing her to cough.
I'm not a medical doctor, but I would say that if he had put the (cold) stethoscope about 2-1/2 inches lower he could have listened to her lungs... as in 'gasp.'
Its scientific name, its taxonomy, is SARS-CoV-2 as defined by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) on 2/11/20 because it genetically related to SARS-CoV (2003) corona virus. That's its real name - that describes to researchers what it is. COVID-19 came from the WHO - also descriptive but not as accurate. Naming it by location, as in where it appeared first, is obsolete. Particularly so since the Spanish Flu was found to have originated in the US. If you want to write a paper on the virus you'll need the taxonomical name; otherwise not.
The photo is cute. Nicely done.
