India asks social media to remove reference to 'Indian variant' of coronavirus
- reaperducer 5y ago"Blame the messenger" again. Same old story with tyrants, despots, and those who just don't get it.
- polishdude20 5y agoAh yes, we're going to ignore social distancing and push crackpot cures on our citizens so pretty please don't call it the Indian virus.
- cdot2 5y agoWhy is the reaction to this different than when people were outraged that people were calling covid the "China virus"
- coolspot 5y agoBecause no business or country wants to upset China (e.g. NBA, Apple, Nike, Disney media conglomerate, etc). India doesn’t have such influence.
- ksaj 5y agoIt's because calling it a variant is not the same thing as calling it virus. Trump was calling it the China Virus to deflect any American spread blame away from his inaction. Calling the variants by where they are found is normal. Hence the UK Variant and the Brazil Variant, etc.
