Just a note that Marburg is a city in Germany, lovely, and home to a venerable University.

No one in Germany apparently demanding an antiseptic name change for the virus.

Well the Spanish Flu didn’t start in Spain. It was called the Spanish Flu because Spain was one of the few countries, that as a neutral during WWI, didn’t censor reports about the outbreak.

The disease is called Marburg because it was first seen and identified in both Germany, and Serbia, almost simultaneously.
