The Airline Virus

From time to time I check out the Flightradar24 website to see if the travel restrictions are having an impact here in the USA. It always comes as a huge disappointment when I do that. There are airliners flying all over the country at any given point in time, hundreds of flights in the air. And there are international flights coming in from all over the world still despite the illusion in the media to the contrary.
Originally this virus was the Wuhan Flu or the Wuhan coronavirus. The Communist head of the World Health Organization in an effort to remove the stigma from  Communist China then renamed it and it has been renamed several different ways since with some even referring to it as the CCP virus - CCP for Chinese Communist Party.
While the initial spread of the virus within China was probably accelerated by rail, even Chin's new high speed rail, the spread worldwide was from people travelling in airliners. For that reason I suggest the world should refer to this pandemic as the airline virus, the AV. No reason to give it a year either since at this point there is no reason to assume it will stop spreading this way any time in the foreseeable future.
The world now has its first deadly worldwide airline virus.

So go check out Flightradar24 and see what I mean.
