Although far-left outlets like CNN have been describing the coronavirus as “Wuhan” for weeks, that description is now being described as racist by members of the left-wing media.
Nevermind that the Asian media have used the term “Wuhan virus,” an NBC News reporter still tweeted Monday, “FYI: Calling #COVID19 the ‘Wuhan Virus’ is racist.”
The stupidity, the ignorance behind this is simply astounding, but unfortunately, not at all surprising anymore.
Naming a virus after the location from where it likely originated, using that as a shorthand, goes back decades.
“Wuhan” was first discovered in Wuhan, China.

Thanks for posting.
If that’s racist, then they’re really not going to like:
Kung Flu, Miso Sick, Yellow Fever, Lung Ting Wong, Yu Die Platter, Wuhanic Plague, Moo Shoo Floo, Wumonia, Chinken Pox, Die Chi, Gook Nukem, and Moo Goo Gai Dead.
I have herewith ceased using the term “WuHan Virus and will henceforth refer to “WuHanFlu.”
It’s racist to call things not racist(especially the truth), racist.
We knew this had to be coming ...
Thank goodness I hear people calling it the Wuhan Flu, not the Wuhan Virus.
Said no one ever...
...that we know of.
Wuhan Wuhan Wuhan Wuhan Wuhan.

Any questions?
Wuhan Bioweapons Lab Flu
The author gave a list of viruses named after the places where they were first known. I smell the Chinese government (and its fellow travelers) behind this race card. You wouldn’t want people to think that something going on in Wuhan might be responsible for this.
Joementia, joementia, jomentia.

WuFlu for me. But I am deplorable
This was discussed on Lou Dobbs Tonight.
The UN / WHO is pushing the COVID-19 designation at the behest of Communist China. The Communist Chinese gov’t is using every bit of influence they have with numerous organizations to not allow Wuhan Virus to become the common use phrase to describe this virus which originated in Wuhan China.
Well, I guess maybe they would prefer “communist bioweapon”
How about that one?
its a communist agent, like Bernie the Red?
I still like “Mexican Beer Virus”
Is that racist? How can beer be racist?
It's not just "leftist" media anymore. It's full on Communist controlled media now.
So....like any other accurate and informative term. Check. I’ll make sure to comply.
