Bill Maher Says Coronavirus Should Be Called the ‘Chinese Virus': ‘We Should Blame China’ [It's standard practice to name a disease from the place where it came from]
yahoo.com ^ | April 10, 2020

“Scientists, who are generally pretty liberal, have been naming diseases after the places they came from for a very long time,” Maher said in the segment, delivered like the rest of the episode from his house. “Zika is from the Zika Forest. Ebola from the Ebola River. Hantavirus, the Hantan River.There’s the West Nile Virus and Guinea worm and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever..."

“MERS stands for Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome,” Maher continued.

Bill Maher and Yahoo are two names that belong together.

Liberals always feel good about themselves when they call non-racists, racists.

I think I'll give that a try.

Bill Maher is a RAAACIST!

Hm. So far I'm not feeling morally superior. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

OMG...I agree with him! I also find it interesting that Beijing has only 8 recorded deaths. I find that either 1) hard to believe, or 2) suspicious.

As with any pundit, Maher is an actor playing a role, but every once in awhile they break out of that role and reveal what they really think about something.

I believe China is going to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest issue with this election. And the Democrats absolutely can be crucified on this, if the GOP plays their cards right.

Something very unusual from an infectious disease viewpoint. There is little doubt that the pandemic began in Wusan and severely affected the local population. It spead like wildfire to Iran, Europe and the United States. Yet somehow, someway other Chinese urban centers and regions seem to have been spared. Even though Chinese reporting numbers is sketchy at best, it would be hard to hide the big outbreaks that are now occurring in Europe and the US. It appears the Chinese have “herd immunity”. That is to say the majority of the population has been made immune. Just how that was accomplished has some natural and some scary scenarios. If the majority of your population were over the years exposed to many bouts of different subtypes of corona virus, it is possible that the exposures resulted antibodies or delayed T cell immunity that had a protective effect against COVID-19.No doubt the Chinese will offer this or a similar explanation. Yet, and if you were designing a biological agent as a weapon, it would be incumbent first to render most of your own population to be immune to the virus.
