A lot of liberal web sites, and most people here, are already using it.

Mr. Trump are you aware that every time you open your mouth at one of these virus press conferences that the stock market goes down?

Some are upset at him using Chinese because it is blaming a nationality.

Calling it the China Virus is trying to identify the location where it started.

Actually the virus probably came from Bats.

are named for the places where they originated: Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Hong Kong Flu, Asian Flu, etc.

But there was such a thing as the Asian Flu.

Also, the Spanish Flu. (Even though it likely didn't originate in Spain, but . . . )

Just like this product name is not acceptable today -



All of these viruses associated with past outbreaks have scientific names.

I would hope we are better than in 1918.

I don't think I have ever heard "The Black Death" (bubonic plague) called "The European Plague", which was blamed on China again. But new research now suggests it may have originated in Sweden - https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/12/4900-year-old-case-plague-sweden/577315/

And means from or related to the continent of Asia.

So calling 'a thing' the Asian Flu means it was a Flu from the continent of Asia.

"CHIIII-NUHHHH".

... but I wonder if it would help to erase that image from my brain.

It's a virus and we can't really blame either Chinese people or Trump for the existence of the virus. But we can blame Trump for his administration's botched response to the virus and that's what's important. I think that both he and Pence should resign so that President Pelosi can take over before it's too late.
