Correct.
As for the second part there is no reason to use words that incite hate when you can use many others that don't accurately. The most accurate would be to call it the Wuhan Virus. Are you that stubborn that you won't agree we shouldn't use words that incite hate?
Wuhan is a province. I'm not naming the virus for a location, I'm naming it for it's owners, the Chinese government. The word "Chinese" shouldn't incite hate. If it does, people have other issues that didn't start, and won't end, with this virus.
