So by that logic, “Spanish flu” is a racist slur against Latinos. Other racist names for diseases are the Asian and Hong Kong flu, German measles, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Ebola.

Yes, I have terrible memories of members of the American Legion being chased through the streets of our largest cities by mobs bent on murder after Legionnaire’s Disease broke out back in 1976.

I live in Corona. I’m really offended that they named this virus after my home town. /sarc

The Chinese virus is CURRENTLY killing thousands of people....

Not might, not maybe, not making them fearful, not micro-aggressioning them, not making them uncomfortable, not hurting their feelings.... But KILLING.

and perhaps if the horrible Chinese communist government of butchers had come clean with the world in the beginning many people would be alive who had to die so the commies wouldn’t look bad or incompetent.

FU!

Just like Lyme disease discriminates against people in Connecticut...DUmmy!

“Lyme disease was named after the town. It was discovered in 1975 after a mysterious outbreak of what appeared to be juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in children who lived in Lyme and Old Lyme.”

President Trump's referring to the coronavirus as "Chinese virus" was not only racist, but places Asian-American "lives at risk"..

The coronavirus is a CHINESE VIRUS. How’s that? 😁

Well, heck then. Let's change it. I propose the Democrat-Socialist Left Wuhan Virus.

We can spread the blame some.

Siding with China so the Chinese won’t limit their press access is a new low for the media.

This is the era of new lows for the msm.

They might as well also blame Andrew Zimmern while they’re at it. His Bizarre Foods episodes took place in many wet markets with less than ideal sanitary conditions, to put it mildly in 3rd world sh*tholes where he would tout the local cuisine that many would consider disgusting and nauseating as something exotic and tasty.

I’ll give MSNBC a smidgen credit. They put otherwise unemployable racists on the their payroll. It helps the unemployment rate.
