I think this article should be titled Wuhan coronavirus instead, as the current title is the result of the fact that the WHO is owned by Red China, also see previous articles Wuhan coronavirus - Chinese Communist Party response and Global Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.

- You make a good point about the proper name of the virus. However, it can be counterproductive to overdo issues re: nomenclature.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 17:39, 30 March 2020 (EDT)
- The Chinese had no problem with "Wuhan coronavirus" until they decided to blame America for it, which was about a week ago. (They were hoping that the virus would be seen as something local to Wuhan.) As far as the recent edits go, the opening of an article should of course correspond to its title. So long as the title of this article is "COVID-19," it can't open with "Wuhan virus." In addition, I don't think we should call it "China virus" or "CCP virus" anywhere.
