Let’s see - the virus is indiscriminately dangerous, we need to give it space so as not to run afoul of it, and it’s costing everyone a lot of peace of mind.

Yup, naming it for a woman makes good sense.

Naming a virus is as  fucked up as naming a hurricane. And a hurricane is a fucking hurricane, call it a cyclone or typhoon, it is all the same shit. Just like a virus is a virus, no matter what nation it starts in.

I see no point in naming a hurricane or virus the "ABBA Virus" or "Boru Virus" or "ABBA Hurricane" or "Boru Typhoon". 

The black plague didn't give a shit who it killed, anymore than Vesuvius gave a shit about the humans it killed.
