More than 120,800 people have signed petitions asking US President Donald Trump to apologize for calling COVID-19 "the Chinese Virus" in a tweet and condemning his behavior, with an expert noting that his move could be seen as political, showing how irresponsible Trump is as a leader.
An internet user called Y.L. Monday created a petition titled "President Trump owes all Chinese an apology for naming COVID-19 'the Chinese Virus' in his latest tweet" on We the People, a section of the official website of the White House, which is used for petitioning the administration's policy experts, after Trump wrote the controversial tweet on Monday.
The petition says Trump "owes all Chinese an apology for naming COVID-19 'the Chinese Virus' in his tweet, especially under the circumstances where the origin of COVID-19 are not scientifically definite yet. Not only is his twitter defiance against science, but also causes anger among Chinese and other races."

19 Mar: CNN: Italian doctors hope for a sign the coronavirus lockdown is working, because there’s no plan B
By Barbie Latza Nadeau and Valentina Di Donato
Dr. Giorgio Palù, the former president of the European and Italian Society for Virology and a professor of virology and microbiology of the University of Padova, told CNN he’d hoped to see the first signs of a change after just over a week of nationwide lockdown, but that has yet to materialize. “Yesterday we expected to have a change after almost 10 days of this new measure ... but it’s still rising,” he told CNN. “So I don’t think we can make a prediction today.”...
He says the Italian government lagged at first. It was “lazy in the beginning... too much politics in Italy.”
“There was a proposal to isolate people coming from the epicenter, coming from China,” he said. “Then it became seen as racist, but they were people coming from the outbreak.” That, he said, led to the current devastating situation...

Red Chinese are allowed to vote for or against VSGPDJT?
Don’t buy chinese junk.
He should just call it the Comunist Sanders democrat virus and “appologize”...
I am truly starting to dislike china.
who do they think they are?
I’ll cross the street now.
Maybe we should send them a petition to come clean. They’ve tried to poison us and our pets for too long.
Personally, DJT should literally tell the Chinese Government to just phuk off...on national TV.
Nuts
If there’s ever been a petition less likely to succeed, I haven’t heard about ti. The possibility that DJT will respond by apologizing to them is approximately zero.
It is the Chinese virus spread by Chinese all,over the world.
The world demands an apology from you and Trillions of dollars of compensation for the tremendous amount of damage the Chinese Communist Party has inflicted upon them world.
I for one will do my best to never buy Chinese.
Yours truly,
Chogogal
They can go F themselves. It was their inept Communist governments handling of this. Take your petitions and use them for toilet paper so they can wipe the s from their pointy little arses
Boycott Chinese junk.
Trump is WRONG to call it the Chinese virus.
Its proper name is a the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus.
The President isn't blaming the Chinese people. He's blaming the Chinese government.
Somebody needs to start a petition condemning the Chinese condemning Trump:
Dear Chinese Bamboozled Person: Apparently you believe your government’s lies about the COVID-19 virus. We know damn well it came from China. Your scientists themselves identified that. So, please stop petitioning our President about a virus name, and worry instead about your own problems.
Put another way, respectfully: Bug off.
Sadly, I must agree with them.
This CANNOT be called the Chinese Virus.
It is the Chinese Bioweapon.
“Personally, DJT should literally tell the Chinese Government to just phuk off...on national TV”
He would love to but he knows China has a gun to our heads because we are so entertwined economically. That should be his mission for his second term, force company’s to end total reliance of China as a supply chain. If they don’t want to do it voluntarily, kill their tax breaks.
Good Post.
The description is accurate. The Chinese Government knew they had a problem and instead of announcing it in time to prevent the spread, they tried to cover it up.
Then they let millions of people leave and fly all over the world spreading it. They are the ones who need to apologize - to the entire world. JERKS they are.
