> Very dishonest argument, considering… Oh come on. Yes, NPR and CNN referred to it as “the Wuhan coronavirus” at a time when it had just left China and looked like it might still be containable to the region. The only people still calling it “Wuhan flu” (particularly in fall of 2020 when it had long ago spread to everywhere else) were people who wanted to downplay its severity by comparing it to the flu and who wanted to really hammer home the point that it was from China. “Wuhan flu” is not some organic thing that people were just saying, it’s deliberate vice signaling on the part of conservative politicians.
