Wikipedia contributors have waged a fierce debate over whether they should change the name of diseases to be more PC as the virus from Wuhan, China reaches across the world. Wikipedia is debating whether history itself needs to be changed to fit modern PC standards.

There appear to be more "oppose" than "support" lines of comment on the Wikipedia page.
