See title. It's unproductive and ultimately is small potatoes in the scope of the pandemic.

I haven't been watching these daily press conferences until now, but I can't imagine they're getting better in this regard.

EDIT: I'm seeing a lot of debate about naming. I'm honestly open to being convinced that this is a big deal. I'm probably going to question you if you have good reasoning, but I can't be convinced without decent answers to those questions. Sorry in advance.

I always liked Kung Flu. It's got a nice ring to it.
