WHO is also taking submissions to replace the name monkeypox.

I doubt they'd seriously consider faggotpox, despite criteria #3...

Be named after the pathogen causing the diseases

Absolutely regarded to name that shit with numbers.
Way harder to remember for humans which one is which.

Names should not include food or animal species

Like, say, monkeypox?
