I feel offended as a Chinese when you call it 'Chinese virus'.
I think you were blaming Chinese people for whatever reason, even you didn't mean to.
You don't want to lose your family or friends, or suffering in economic recession.
We don't want it too.
- sergiotapia 7y agoThat's ridiculous, we call it the chinese virus just like the spanish flu was called "spanish flu". It's called that because of it's place of origin.
- gaoryrt 7y agoKnowing why you call it won't help with the feeling or this communication.
- Gigablah 7y agoAnd that is exactly the issue we are trying to fix here.
- perrygeo 7y agoThat would be an excellent point if the Spanish flu actually started in Spain. It didn't.
- HarHarVeryFunny 7y agoI'm not sure anyone knows where the "Spanish" Flu originated, but it may in fact have the US. It was certainly spread by US troops. The only reason it is called "Spanish" Flu is because it happened during WW I and neutral Spain was the only country reporting it in the press, as opposed to US, UK, etc which were censoring the news so as not to look weak during wartime.
- foolzcrow 7y agoHow about wuhan corona virus? I like that one. Spanish flu chinese flu, only a racist sees that as racist. Stop looking at skin color ok.
- levleontiev 7y agoWasn't China the origin of this virus? Wasn't that Chinese people who have brought infected bats to a place with thousands of people? Everybody clearly understands that it was not intent, but rather an occasion. However, different nations have their sins, this is yours.
