As someone who has studied both Chinese and Japanese both can problems with the Rs deoending on the dialect. Prepare for school.
Japanese has the RU sound but no L sound. When a foreign word is spelled out in katakana they use the RU v. L sound.. If your name is Phil it becomes Fi-ru. Luis is Ru - isu . Flu would be Fa-ru.
Chines do have the r sound in pinyin but it is not pronounced like an English hard R. it is pronounced with an open mouth and tongue pulled back like if you were revving an engine and is between an R and J sound.
So the word for people in pinyin is "ren" or 人。 The R is not R like in the english word Red. It is the most difficult pinyin sound for many foreigners to replicate and took me a while to get it. In certain words the softness of the R comes really close to sounding like an L.
So in the sentence 我认识她 (wo renshi ta without the tone marks) which means "I know her" the word 认识/renshi is pronounced almost like "len-shir"
Therefore although the last meme had Japanese kabuki like figures (and as someone who has lived and worked in Japan I am well aware of that) but it was the only one that had a take on the famous cat meme. Also it would not at all be uncommon for a Chinese speaker, particularly a Beijing native with harder sounds to say the pinyin R close to an L because the FR sound does not exist.
Now the LU sound does exist so you could hear the word Fa-Lu for flu and that would not come out as fa-roo. But in saying it quickly and trying to say it in English it could come out as fa-roo.
Most importantly it is a fucking joke.
Sounds just like the shiite I got. Slowly starting to feel better. One good thing it did was to keep me out of this waterfall market! I might have tried to fade it if I felt better. 
I am typing this with a mask and gloves until Poopy gives the all clear....
She got an A!
Hope she feels better.

Has everyone seen all the sporting events in Europe where fans were banned due to Corona? In Japan as well.
Sometime it isn't the thing itself but the overreaction.
A friend from Singapore is planning to go to Europe for a conference and someone there joked they would quarantine her when she arrived .
I dont know but I made some vacation plans for June and bought travel/flight insurance in case this gets out of hand and I need to cancel. Hoping it settles down by May...

I just cancelled flights to Río, I have to leave the country on one passport and come back on my other one to stay here but a friend has a serious respatory disease so needs someone who can help (understands quarantine) and another who is stage 4 cancer will die if she gets this (will die anyway) but I'd rather be around.
The fun thing about the ecuatorial and other warm regions, germ season is all year.
