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?

Because that’s not accurate either.

China or Wuhan describe geography

Coronavirus describes the type of virus

COVID-19 is it’s scientific name.

While it’s quite clear the Red Chinese screwed the pooch in poor health standards that allowed humans to get infected, and then made things worse by ignoring the problem for over a month, calling it by the name of the country does nothing to help the situation.

Unless the China Syndrome really was created in a Wuhan Biolab.

In which case it needs to be wrapped round their necks.

Unfettered Liberalism is far more of a threat to the world than a chinese-made virus.

Didn’t you hear? The media want to call it the “Trump virus”. We have never seen such overt dishonesty.

All the hype on this virus reminds me of a Bene Gesserit mantra from Dune

True enough. But, you have to admit that Paul, Jessica, and the Bene Gesserit spent a lot of time prepping for many unpleasant scenarios, just in case.

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

The 1st time I heard the term "Kung Flu" used was a few weeks ago by a Chinese co-worker...

Maybe he got it from you.

Correct according to who? You?

Good grief, people, how do we let people brainwash us?

Isn't that what you're trying to do right now?

If it traces back to that lab in Canada, in the end, and they called it “COVID-19”, then that should be its name. I want to hear all about the Chinese spies involved in its theft, and how it got out.

If it came from bat soup (or whatever) in Wuhan, then it’s “Wuhan Flu”, or “Bat Flu” or whatever becomes most popular outside of China. I couldn’t care less what the “Sick Man of Asia” wants to call it.

There was a Hong Kong flu in 1968.

Why don’t we call cars, double-motorcycles? Because they are cars.

This is not an influenza.

And it seems there were one or two more with geographical names, but I can't think of them now.

Yeah, let’s just make up fake names instead of ushowing that we understand science. That’s smart.
