Perhaps. But people have short memories and love scapegoating.
I fear I might be more cynical of humans than you
Though in fairness I worked in retail for a while. That alone is enough to get one to give up on humanity

Biden is Ron Burgundy confirmed!
It popped up in the US. But with news censorship
cuz of war, it was first reported in Spain.
Darned censorship!

Specifically, it was carried to Europe by infected US troops, IIRC.
Would'a been OK with me had it been called the "Ameristan Virus".

Americans have always been crafty about the propaganda value of epidemics, it seems.
Aye, we've many diseases named after parts hearabouts,
eg, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Lyme Disease.
Tis time to stop being so selfish. Spread the wealth.

COVID: Asian Americans see violence, hate crimes rise amid pandemic
A series of violent crimes against Asians and Asian Americans has prompted activists and experts to warn that racist rhetoric about the coronavirus pandemic may be fueling a rise in hate incidents.
Police in Oakland, California, announced this week that they arrested a suspect in connection with a brutal attack of a 91-year-old man in Chinatown that was caught on camera. In less than a week, a Thai man was attacked and killed in San Francisco, a Vietnamese woman was assaulted and robbed of $1,000 in San Jose, and a Filipino man was attacked with a box cutter on the subway in New York City.

Indeed 91 year old Asian/Americans are indeed fragile. Beating them up for causing the virus may indeed cause irreparable and permanent harm on such vulnerable bodies.
I'm not old enough to remember if anyone beat up Spanish/Americans in 1918. I don't recall anyone beating up Egyptians from the West Nile.
The only difference I really see is that in the case of COVID our president repeatedly, sneeringly, blamed the problem on the Chinese. Did Woodrow Wilson denigrate Spain? Did any president blame Germany for the measles? The only problem came from Trump and his ignorant, adoring sheeples.
ETA:
Oh, so you do know that Asians are being assaulted because of the "Wuhan" thing.

Now that would be really funny if it wasn't so blatantly hypocritical.
For years Trump made fun of Obama using a teleprompter. Then, when he was a candidate, and later president, he also used the teleprompter. I don't recall any sheeples making fun of Trump using one. Now that he is out of office, it is once again a source of humor for the sheeples.
Another prime example of how snowflakes can't even handle words.
This guy gets it lol
