Many of the other recent pandemics were given geographical names. Why did the sexy name for this one get used, and not “China” flu, or “Wuhan” flu?

Go “um” yourself, if you insist on being an apologist for the Globalist Liberals.


You do realize "coronavirus" is not the name of this current outbreak? Coronaviridae is the name of a family of viri, something like 50 different species, of which I believe seven are known to infect humans. SARS and MERS are both in this family, as well as a couple more that just cause the common cold. Geographical names are popularly used, they have nothing to do with scientific nomenclature, usually.

And plenty of people (myself included) have referred to it as the "Wuhan Virus" around here and wider on the interwebs.

All of that is well and good.

What do 99% of the US voters still call it?

What did the liberal media call it when they whipped up the frenzy and tanked the economy and the stock market?

You needn’t answer. We all know what the answer is.

We’re done here. Thanks for playing.
