Searching Twitter for examples of people decrying "Chinese virus" can come across as confirmation bias. It's also not an accurate measure of how many people truly disapprove of the name. The point is that the argument for or against it is frivolous. As for speaking in codes, you could just call the virus by its actual name, SARS-CoV-2 and the variant G614[0].

I was just observing the immediate objections to all the other geographic names but then that apparently doesn’t matter when naming “variants.”
