Why 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.
