Editorial: Giving the Right Name to the Virus Causing a Worldwide Pandemic

There has been controversy recently about what to call the virus that has unleashed a worldwide pandemic. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) prefers “novel coronavirus.” Others have referred to it as the “Wuhan virus,” after its place of origin, as is common in naming diseases.
The Epoch Times suggests a more accurate name is the “CCP virus,” and calls upon others to join us in adopting this name.
The name holds the CCP accountable for its wanton disregard of human life and consequent spawning of a pandemic that has put untold numbers in countries around the world at risk, while creating widespread fear and devastating the economies of nations trying to cope with this disease.
After all, CCP officials knew in early December that the virus had appeared in Wuhan, but they sat on the information for six weeks. They arrested those who tried to warn of the danger, accusing them of spreading “rumors,” and employed the regime’s rigorous censorship to prevent media coverage and to delete any mentions of it from social media.

I called it the China Virus this morning and my daughter, MY DAUGHTER, called me a racist. I’m 74 years old and never once in my life was I ever called a racist.

Hate to say but that’s why I like “Wuhan Flu” - it fits perfectly with that stupid ditty “Dr. Fu Manchu” - rhymes just like it!
