- derision 7y agoI fail to see how stating the country of origin is racist. I've seen some people refer to it as "Kung Flu", which is clearly and obviously racist. The argument that associating a virus to it's country of origin is wrong makes no sense to me at all
- nikolay 7y agoI also don't see wrong stating the origin of something - French wine, Spanish wine, Chinese virus. I am Bulgarian and on the national TV, everybody calls it "the Chinese virus". There no acts against the many Chinese living in Bulgaria. Even doctors use it - Lyme disease, Marseilles fever, West Nile virus, etc. So, it's a matter of mentality, not how you call the virus. It is the same low-IQ crowd, which discriminate Americns from Chinese ancestry due to some name!
- pinkfoot 7y agoI see President Trump's tweet from 7:19 AM - Mar 27, 2020 after chatting to President Xi now refers to "the CoronaVirus" and "the Virus". [I am not sure about all the capitalisation - we aren't speaking German (yet).]
