Also, if everyone had called it the Chinese Corona virus in the beginning, and a lot were calling it the Chinese virus after that (which sounds kind of vague and stupid to me anyway), but if a lot of people thought that was catchy and were using it all along, then I wouldn't really notice, and I certainly wouldn't think anyone was racist for calling it what everyone else was calling it. IT's just common sense.

But this is WAY different.

We had a name or one of a few names, Corona virus , Covid, Covid 19, that we were all using for months, and even recently when it was almost all anyone was talking about, we were all using the same names for this thing.

When suddenly I see a thread from PAtrick saying we need to be calling this the Chinese Virus.

Wtf ?

I mean I get it. IT's defending great leader and the assinine mind games he plays with his base.

I'm vicariously offended at the way he manipulates you people.

More evidence is arriving every day that this was an engineered plague that CHINA started. It should be titled the Chinese CCP VIRUS!

China is not an ethnicity. This opinion is pure ignorance

You're right, my bad. "chinese" could never be associated with an ethnicity.

I already provided over 20 of Article Titles in the US & World Media calling it "Wuhan" or "Chinese" virus until the past few weeks, when they pivoted to Corona virus in order to score SJW points.

Yet it's as if it was never posted and other people didn't comment on it and provide other examples.

Wuhan is more specific and makes some sense. Some of those articles did say Chinese Corona virus.

I don't need to spend the time researching to prove that I know that three weeks ago, everything I read said Corona Virus or Covid-19. Because I was reading a lot about it on the internet. I will grant you that it is probably also what I put in to the search engine, but it wasn't out of a desire to be politically correct. It was based on the name that I had learned. That started more than 5 weeks ago.

The science people and the journalists are the ones that get to put names out there. And then we all start using them. If there was some political correctness involved in the evolution of the name to be Corona and Covid-19, then so be it. I'm not going to be offended by people wantnig to call it Wuhan Virus. But people such as Trump calling it the Chinese virus just to troll the world ? That's classic Trump, and fuck him. It's just the millionth indication of what a Douchebag he is.

Exactly - a few weeks ago, not in the beginning. It was around February/March that the Media began pivoting to Coronavirus instead of the USUAL naming of the point of origin when known. And in this case we did know, beyond a doubt. The only argument is if it was a random mutation within humans or came from mammals in the Hubei region which are infamous in science for carrying potent and diverse human-compatible viral loads.

And in January, when the story began to really gain traction, the term "Wuhan" or "Chinese Coronavirus" was used, until the Media got all SJW about it and wanted to shame Trump.

They even pulled this, in the New York Times:


I'll stick to Wuhan virus and the normal naming structure.

It’s to shame China for their disgusting hygiene and wet market fiasco. Should we not shame fat people anymore? We’d have more fat people. Shaming works...trust me I know, I was raised religious.

Leftists don’t do thinking. They let nyt and wapo to tell them what to think.

And they're the type of parents who never discipline or shame their kids for doing bad things, because they're perfect the way they are.

Marcus,

I believe the reason Trump intentionally called it the China virus is because the Chinese government has been spreading their own studies and rumors accusing the virus came from the US and/or US soldiers. With Trump’s personality, he basically said FUCK YOU CHINA. You accuse us, I’ll be sure the whole world know that the virus came from your country ASSHOLE.

What do you do when people punch you in the face? Don’t you want to punch the bastard back twice as hard, or do you defend the bastard for punching you in the face and blame that you deserve it?

It's so refreshing to have a President who has a spine and punches back.

This is why anyone who blanket accuses "white people" of racism should be invited to immediately retract that slander, or be punched in the face.

To call a white person racist just because of his race is exactly as bad as calling a black person nigger just because of his race. The response should be identical.

Does anyone know, or have a friend who knows the stuff this guy is talking about? I'm not sure exactly what type of background one would need to really understand what they're talking about, but I'm guessing someone strong in genetics / DNA / Genomes, and probably specifically genetic engineering.

This guy seems very convinced that Covid-19 is man made, but I think you need a real expert to be able to listen to his arguments and pass judgement. i.e., he said I think a certain sequence of 6 amino acids was extremely unlikely to be natural, and there were other hallmarks of editing, and "convenient" results from these edits.

China is asshoe!

Given that we are likely to see repeated viruses from China on a regular basis, we should come up with a naming convention that includes a year designation.

Obligatory:

So stupid. "Why ?" ... becasue I've been busy

Do you actually care what the name of a virus is anyway? Before the butt hurt starts, people will die....😭 That said calling it the Chinese virus is just plain funny. There's no disputing that. And honestly, Trump is doing an amazing job of distracting people from the actual problem by doing shit like this. He gets people all fucking worked up and not paying attention to the problem. He's got you focused on god damn words. It's hysterical on many levels.
