And the MSM does what the MSM always does........ Excerpt:

Q Okay. Why do you keep calling this the “Chinese virus”? There are reports of dozens of incidents of bias against Chinese Americans in this country. Your own aide, Secretary Azar, says he does not use this term. He says, “Ethnicity does not cause the virus.” Why do you keep using this? A lot of —

THE PRESIDENT: Because it comes from China.

Q — people say it’s racist.

THE PRESIDENT: It’s not racist at all. No. Not at all. It comes from China. That’s why. It comes from China. I want to be accurate.

Q And no concerns about Chinese Americans —

THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, please, John.

Q — in this country?

THE PRESIDENT: No.

Q And to the aides behind you, are you comfortable with this term?

THE PRESIDENT: No, I have a great — I have great love for all of the people from our country. But, as you know, China tried to say at one point — maybe they stopped now — that it was caused by American soldiers. That can’t happen. It’s not going to happen — not as long as I’m President. It comes from China.

This little exchange looks interesting as he gets the questioner to repeat the “offensive” phrase multiple times:

Q And then the — my second question is, there are some — at least one White House official who used the term “Kung flu,” referring to the fact that this virus started in China. Is that acceptable? Is it wrong? Are you worried that that having this virus be talked about as a “Chinese virus,” that that might help —

THE PRESIDENT: I wonder who said that.

Q That might (inaudible) —

THE PRESIDENT: Do you know who said that?

Q That — I’m not sure the person’s name, but would you condemn the fact —

THE PRESIDENT: He used —

Q — the “Kung flu” —

THE PRESIDENT: Say the term again.

Q The — a person at the White House used the —

THE PRESIDENT: No, just the term.

Q — term “Kung flu.” My question is —

THE PRESIDENT: “Kung flu”?

Q — do you think that’s wrong? “Kung flu.” And do you think using the term “Chinese virus” — that puts Asian Americans at risk, that people might target them?

THE PRESIDENT: No, not at all. No, not at all. I think they probably would agree with it 100 percent. It comes from China. There’s nothing not to agree on.

"DR. BIRX: Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President, Mr. Vice President. So, you know, we continue to look at data every single day. There are concerning reports coming out of France and Italy about some young people getting seriously ill, and very seriously ill in the ICUs.

We think part of this may be that people heeded the early data coming out of China and coming out of South Korea that the elderly or those with preexisting medical conditions were at particular risk. It may have been that the millennial generation, our largest generation, our future generation that will carry us through for the next multiple decades, there may be a disproportional number of infections among that group. And so even if it’s a rare occurrence, it may be seen more frequently in that group and be evident now."

The warnings keep coming.

It’s a shame, when comments from President Trump and the big news of our lives have been pushed into chat.
