Rename the virus.

Considering all the self entitled college brats who ignored the warnings in Florida, Maybe "Kegvirus", or "Revenge Of The Ignorant Virus" or "Blutovirus" <----- Animal House movie fans will get that.

How do you feel about ‘The Dangerously Stupid Religious People (Including But Not Limited To Pakistanis) Crowding Into Houses Of Worship Virus’?

Some fuckface on twitter pointed out a mass gathering in Pakistan on twitter yesterday. Why were they singling out that country? Last week I saw a story of Jews at the wailing wall in mass packed in like sardines too. If "social distancing" is supposed to help, which medical experts say it does, then I don't give a fuck if you are Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Hindu or Buddhist. 

"Fratvirus"
"Afluensavirus"
"Allah virus"
"Jesus virus"
"Yawheyvirus"
"Budhavuris"
"Vishnuvirus"

I don't give a fuck what religion or nation or class you are from. The medical experts do not give a shit about where you live or what you believe, they are all saying distance is the only thing that can reduce transmission, along with washing your hands repeatedly, and avoiding physical contact, and cleaning commonly touched surfaces frequently.

But - apparently - you DO give a fuck if the people referenced happen to be Pakistani. 

Why?

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.
