Because had the Chinese government acknowledged the Wuhan outbreak early, and done a local lockdown instead of trying to shove it under the rug, there would be no pandemic. Quite a reason to be pissed off at it (mind you, specific government and not an abstract "race").

Spanish Flu?

Though yes, it's a stupid name (Wuhan Virus would be "ok-ish" in my opinion though - if we didn't know which virus it was)

Spanish Flu

Hong Kong Flu

West Nile Virus

German Measles

Guinea Worm

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

Lyme Disease (named after Lyme, Connecticut)

Ross River Fever

Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever (named after Omsk, Russia)

Ebola (named after the Ebola River)

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome

Zika (named after the Zika Forest, Uganda)

Japanese Encephalitis

Marburg Virus Disease (named after Marburg, Germany)

“Wuhan Virus” for example conveys information not apparent when calling it a coronavirus.
