What about calling it the Iranian Coronavirus?

You know what’s also offensive Omar? Finding out an elected representative married her own brother to game the immigration system, and subsequently lie about it to the American public.

“Chinese coronavirus.” She responded to his remarks, tweeting, “Viruses don't have nationalities. This is racist.” Where was the concern with the West Nile Virus?

A fellow I know got the plague in the 80’s when we were just out of college.
He was a guide and field dressed an antelope (for his clients) that had plague infected fleas.
The Doctor asked about what he had been doing and ordered treatment immediately...he was and is fine.
