In England, the "English virus" is known as the "Kent variant". This is probably because Kent is the nearest area of England to France. It's all very reminiscent of the introduction of syphilis to Naples by the soap-dodging French troops. In Naples it became known as the French disease, a term still used throughout the world today. Needless to say, the French - buck-passing racists as ever - called it the Neapolitan disease.
This offends me because of course all disease is God's Holy Vengeance and should be acknowledged as such.
