Aren't there other viruses of Chinese origin? Calling it 'Chinese Virus' won't differentiate it from other viruses from China.
Exactly.
It isn’t even the first novel Coronavirus that originated in bats, spread to another weird animal in a wet market which was eaten by a human, made the jump to humans and spread rapidly, got denied and ignored initially by CCP officials, spread quickly across Asia through airline travelers, then spread to the West causing panic in the 2000s.
And it won’t be the last.
The term is already redundant.

We tend to name viruses after their locality. It's not supposed to be bigoted in any sense. People are upset because it's Trump.

I think Wuhan Virus is the most appropriate though.

This is true why is Ebola named after the Ebola river in Africa and why was Lyme disease named after the city. Why the fukk is MERS Middle Eastern Respiratory Virus? Why do we call it Spanish Flu?

Cacs wanna change the game when it comes from Asia?

The reason why the name should be changed is because they still opening the Wet markets in China so more disease will spread.
Spanish Flu didn't even originate from Spain. That's the funny thing about it.
I think with this is that scientist been had a name or classification for this virus years ago when they found this new form of SARS in bats

This stupid ass shyt. Everybody knows where its from and nowadays when chinese virus is used, its not meant as an innocent descriptor but to make folks get mad at China (rightfully so) while excusing their local leadership (bad move).

The virus already has a name. What the fukk is the point of this at this stage in the game?
It came from China

WHO changed their naming guidelines a while ago to avoid naming after geographic regions for this reason



And Xi called trump and punked him and since th Trump hasnt said china virus
