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.
What might have been contained was allowed silently to spread, showing up in all of China. Individuals who might have protected themselves became victims, in numbers far greater than the CCP has admitted. By late January, there were reports that all of the crematoria in Wuhan were operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week to deal with the crush of dead bodies.

What are the costs of lies?
All those closest to the origin of this virus are dead. Beijing killed them.
I have this reminder of sending Chinese farmers with wooden pitchforks straight into American and S. Korean guns during the Korean War.
What if it was intentional?
Chinese flu.
The Chinese Wuhan kung flu
Reminds me of the SCTV episode where Russian TV (Channel 3CP one) takes over their airwaves. Funny stuff

My college-aged niece called it “co-vid19” today. Works for me.
GOV-Vid-666. it’s been a killer throughout history. Witness the DESTRUCTION of this one.
I shorten it to “Escaped Chinese BioWeapon”
China666 Virus. The mark of the Beast.
They wanted to use Wuhan as a human incubator so it would spread world wide. So what if 100,000 or1,000,000 Chinese die? This is a regime that has always looked at its people as pieces of meat, to be disposed of as the state sees fit. I think of the “human wave” attacks during the Korean War.
And that was part of their calculation. They knew that American and European culture would never tolerate that. We will never make that same calculation. We will suffer millions of lost jobs and trillions in lost wealth to prevent thousands of deaths.
And so they win.

What the virus itself is named doesn't much matter.

I will stick with “WuHanFlu.”
Would we call them anti-American racists?
I don't think so.
