Well if covid was first detected in Peoria, I would have no problem calling it the Peoria virus, but it wasn't the virus was first detected in Wuhan, China.
Modern liberal political correctness, and wokeness in action, geography be damned.

Or the Marburg Virus. Or Ebola.
Or Legionnaire’s Disease.

Remember how Nancy Pelosi was afraid people would not want to go to Chinatown if we call it the China virus?
Why is it that we are allowed to call historic disease outbreaks such as the Spanish flu or the Hong Kong flu by those names, but somehow Liberals are triggered if we would call covid-19 the China virus or the Wuhan virus?

“China virus” is connected with racist bias only because they said so.

It was called Wuhan pneumonia 武漢肺炎 in China and all over the Chinese speaking world for months.
Until the manufactured campaign to make it “racist” to say where it was from.
Which the chicoms also started to propagate.

They usually don’t like to admit it came from Wuhan because next people might start to notice who was funding their research.

The truth is the truth. It isn’t racist, or sexist or any other form of “ist”.
It’s just the truth.

Why was there NOT this hysteria over the Hong Kong flu OMG these people are insane!!
To: clashfan
Not true only because President Trump said so
To: bigbob
Yes I remember Obama used to call ISIS by the acronym ISIL.
It was odd that Obama insisted on using those initials rather than ISIS . But he was stubborn about that.
