As the coronavirus has spread throughout the world, many have disagreed on just how we should refer to it. Some people, including President of the United States Donald Trump, insist on calling it the Chinese coronavirus or the Wuhan Virus. Critics claim that attaching such a prefix to its name may trigger a surge of anti-Asian hate crime, and people all over the world have indeed shared their accounts of racist encounters that were clearly emboldened by the outbreak.
In spite of this, many members of the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement have continued to stand firm on speaking of it that way, mostly just shrugging off the criticism. One protester, 20-year-old student Adrian Hui, told HKFP he finds it wholly appropriate to call it the Chinese Coronavirus because, as the sentiment goes, it comes from China, so why should I not call it the Chinese coronavirus?
The Chinese government has since condemned the use of terms like Wuhan virus in the country and recommend other countries do the same, or at least refrain from using them.
If the CCP wont allow us to say Chinese Virus, we definitely need to use it more, Hui added.
I have freedom of speech, and I dont think it is racist or hurtful, its still just a name.
A common argument for calling it the Chinese coronavirus is that it serves as a reminder that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) should be held accountable when the world eventually comes out on the other side of the crisis. Many protesters see the CCP as the primary culprit for why the outbreak was not contained before it spread to the rest of the world, and hence believe that China must pay for their carelessness.

Well it aint the hoo-ha virus. Ive had that. It wasnt fatal but it almost killed me and Im still paying for it.
The spirit of Hong Kong is strong. The spirit of (what once was)Philadelphia is lost.
The Chinese Pooh Bear virus so both the CCP and Disney will hunt me down.
We can only pray for Adrian’s safety; however by now his organs have probably been harvested by the CommunistChinese regime.

Opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership. Wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leaders upcoming election.
The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CCWV (Chinese Communist Wuhan Virus) breakout occurred in Wuhan the politburo closed off Wuhan but did not warn the Italian Socialist government or the Pope with whom the Chinese government had good relations with.
But certainly violated it when the socialists should have been informed and allowed to deny those Chinese workers who replaced Italians in those factories taken over by the Chinese, travel to and from China particularly for their New Year while this was occurring. Which Trump did with the exception of only allowing American citizens returning.
Which affected workers at the Chinese owned Smithfield Pork Processing and had the China backer US media charging racism but may have prevented an Italy from happening here .
Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of US naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it while visiting certain Asian ports before that showed up in Italy.
Everytime an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from this country (China). Now Chinas reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried. Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader,
no pun intended but they’ve got more guts than a lot of our US kids that age
Conservative radio talk show host Chris Plante calls this virus the “Wuhan red coronavirus”. I call it the “Wuhan red coronavirus of death”.
This virus has given President Trump and with Biden going down in flames over attacking a number of women, the former will get back in November.
Sound’s like Poe’s “Mask of Red Death” a bit
