Every virus is named by its territory. Technically it is the Wuhan flu. The Chinese don’t like it being called that because it just highlights their ineptness at managing their viral labs. The Rocky Mountain spotted fever, lymes disease (Lyme Connecticut), Ebola named after a river in Africa nearest to the outbreak and so on. The only ones who don’t want it named the Chinese virus are the news channels half owned by the Chinese government. The Chinese screwed us all over and yes the technical term for the virus is the Wuhan Virus just like every other virus has been named for years.
