The White House has defended Trump's use of the term 'Chinese virus' to describe coronavirus - pointing out that many other diseases are named after places.
'Spanish Flu. West Nile Virus. Zika. Ebola. All named for places,' the White House said in a tweet from its official account.
'Before the media’s fake outrage, even CNN called it “Chinese Coronavirus.” Those trying to divide us must stop rooting for America to fail and give Americans real info they need to get through the crisis,' the tweet added.

Good. It is the Chinese coronavirus.
I love this guy. He never lets up.
press didn’t mind when china spouted a conspiracy theory that it came from the US military to China
It would suck if that trillion dollars was spent fighting the wrong coronavirus.
Arkancide......
CBS really needs to suspend that zoo zoo zang activist “reporter”, she is an instigator, not a newsperson.
American journalism as an institution needs an enema.
Needs to be called the “Chicom Coronavirus” to emphasize the role of totalitarian communism in bringing this virus to the US.
Desperation has set in among the Politburo in China as their deliberate mishandling and obfuscation of the Chinese Coronavirus outbreak has threatened, and in all likelihood derailed, their grandiose plans for global hegemony.
In what can only be described as one of the most ham-handed propaganda efforts in recent memory, China is now trying to deflect blame onto the United States for the Coronavirus outbreak that has been recently categorized as a global pandemic. Further, they are unabashedly claiming that any criticism of their “valiant” efforts to stem the spread of the virus or using the nomenclature of Wuhan Virus or Chinese Coronavirus is racist and xenophobic.
While their attempt to implicate the United States may appear on the surface to be absurd, the reality is that much of it will fall on fertile ground previously tilled and seeded over the past 25 years with vast amounts of money and investments. An end-product of China’s infiltration of the American media and education establishment is the almost immediate regurgitation of China’s racist and xenophobic argument by the American mainstream media and the predominantly left-wing professional class.
Hollywood and the entertainment cabal, already awash in Chinese capital and desperate for access to the Chinese market, has refused to criticize China’s handling of the Coronavirus focusing instead on President Trump.
It is almost a certainty that when the pandemic recedes there will be nothing produced that is even remotely critical of China. (Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
WHO issues best practices for naming new human infectious diseases
WTH are we funding this?!
Bravo Mr. President!
You obviously are out of touch with the successes and failures in government funded research being both one and the same.
Okay, saved that!
Trump not only has to fight the Virus but the leftist idiot media as well.
Actually, the left making asses of themselves is, once again, helping Trump more than it is helping the left.
But that won’t stop them..cause they are leftist idiots.
I think the National Hurricane Center should name new novel virus threats. To be fair.
And the same sort of jerkoffs who get their panties in a wad over “Chinese Flu” are quite happy to make it sound like the natives who died from smallpox after the Europeans began to colonize the New World were the victims of some evil plot by white people.
