This made me laugh pretty hard

Not “Chinese virus”

@Thug...years ago there was a virus that started in Hong Kong. Everyone called it the "Hong Kong Flu". This virus started in China, so what's the big deal about calling it the "Chinese Flu"?

It’s a big deal when Trump’s called it the “Chinese virus” because of its origin...Lol

well to be fair nobody called Ebola or HIV the African virus

Maybe because China is a country, Hong Kong a city, Africa...a continent? IDK??

My point was that the Prez is being chastised for using the term "Chinese Virus". Labeled a racist, even. If it started in France, I don't see anything wrong with calling it the "French Virus". It's not a put down...simply saying where it started. Everyone is way overboard with the political correctness.

I got nothing against Trump but labeling the virus from where it originated from is little strange when there is already an official name for it.

Again how many times have you called Ebola and HIV an African virus?

My guess is never

@Hydro...The medical community names things in weird ways, anyway.
Ruebella is the virus, Measles is the disease. Then, there was German measles. Again, IDK. I just don't see anything for people to be all up in arms about. To be more accurate, maybe they should have named it after the city or province where it began...Wuhan. It was 1st reported to the WHO in China on December 31st. It wasn't until February 11th that they named it COVID-19. I guess because there has been 18 others before it. I'm just saying, it doesn't OFFEND me what they call it, The Wuhan Flu, The Chinese Flu, the Asian Flu (oh, wait, I think they already used that years ago). If it starts here, they can call it the American Flu, the Cracker Flu, the Redneck Flu, I don't care and won't get my panties up my bum because of a name.

Interesting read on the effects of copper on viruses. I ordered my copper bracelet the other day.
