Quit calling it COVID-19 or Coronavirus. Call it what it is: The China Flu, or China Virus

Call the illness by the correct name for the origin of that sickness, The China Flu. Good grief, people, how do we let people brainwash us?

All the hype on this virus reminds me of a Bene Gesserit mantra from Dune
Fear is a waste of time and paralyses thought and action

https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Litany_Against_Fear

“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain”

We are reaching terminal thread velocity. There is a least 1 new COVID thread per minute (TPM).

There have been a number of viruses that started in China. So if we called them all China virus how would we distinguish which one we are talking about? 8>)

But if it was called by an accurate descriptive term the media circus wouldn’t be able to freak people out day after day, the stock market wouldn’t lose trillions of dollars in value, and the Democrats would not have a chance of taking back the White House. Are you trying to mess things up?

You may think you beat me to it, but I named it Kung Flu at least 2 weeks ago!

I expect the Chinese Flu, like all epidemics, to kill 15-40K people in the US...The difference is that unlike the other varieties, each time a person dies of it there will be front page news stories.

FR may run out of electrons.
We may have to start rationing threads.
