[Hiphoplives4eva]

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

Shut up. The WHO doesn't control what a virus is named you idiot. Its done by the scientist that discovers it. As a RULE, its usually named after the scientist that discovered it or the region. This hypersensitivity against naming it the chinese virus is nothing more than chinese propaganda. Especially when numerous CHINESE scientists published papers bragging about discovering the virus as recently as 2015.

While everyone was already calling it coronavirus and COVID-19, Trump started to call it the Chinese virus to shift attention and blame onto the Chinese.

It's a clear deflection. Blaming others is not actually a useful response during a time of crisis. Instead of procuring medical equipment, establishing adequate testing infrastructure, or imposing a nationwide shelter in place order, Donald has simply sat on his azz while continually making excuses for his administration's failures.

I'm not going to call this the 'Chinese virus' because I don't take cues from Donald Trump and his rhetoric.

China should absolutely be held accountable for their failure. However, blaming them in the middle of fighting the pandemic is not going to stop thousands of our citizens from dying daily.

Dum, dum, it's China's FAULT

Their lax sanitation caused it.

They hid the virus and threatened the doctors & journalists who tried to reveal it to the world.

This is 1000x more China's fault than anybody else's.

They DESERVE to have this crisis that's fukked up the whole world blamed on them.

If this was the China of 50 years ago, it would be called Wuhan Virus. But we know why it’s not. The same reason how China was just appointed to the UN human rights panel. They have money and influence now.

This right here.

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?

Was you mad at the Ebola Virus? Or the German measles?

 

[At30wecashout]

Was you mad at the Ebola Virus? Or the German measles?

2020. Im at home. A couple people I knew(one not well) has died from this virus. I am not mad at the naming, I am mad that its a global fukking pandemic and this is the focus. When Ebola was in the news heavy, I wasnt watching the news. German measles? Before my time. Same for Ebola, in fact.

Now I am of age, home all the goddamn time wishing I could actually do something meaningful to help, and despite all the good I see coming out around the situation, I see stupid ass shyt like this being talked about. I have time now. So what you are telling me is I, a person who never started calling viruses after the places they came from and never would have agreed with the sentiment, am now supposed to say “oh well, its how they always did it”? Fam, Im tired of living in a world where fukked up shyt happens and yall look at me crazy for wondering why its still happening. Clearly im not the crazy one.

So there's a Dr or place named HIV





"The final name of any new human disease is assigned by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), which is managed by WHO. ICD is used by doctors, nurses, researchers, health information managers and coders, policymakers, insurers and patient organizations around the world to classify diseases and other health problems and record them in a standardized way on health records and death certificates."

[humminbird]

I’m ok with Wuhan virus

 

[JLova]

What if they tried to name it "the Africa Virus" lol how would that sound? Wuhan would've been more appropriate but regardless, it's been covid19 since its discovery. Ignoring the actual name to instead call it the China Virus has a deliberate intent by the people that are doing it and if we're being intellectually honest, we know what that intent is.

that’s exactly what I was telling someone. People play so fukking dumb it’s disgusting. Wuhan virus was fine. Bill Maher is a racist douche bag and folk siding with him over some racist shyt.

 

[Wink Beaufield]

WuFlu has the best ring to it.

 

[itsyoung!!]

I dont agree with calling it the China Virus, if anything maybe the Wuhan Flu or some shyt but thats not the big deal

the other parts he touched on in this video were much more important and he was right about those

the world needs to shut down wet markets. Liberals need to stop being p*ssy about everything. Twitter is too sensitive about everything.

Those points he was correct on

 

[supertrekker]

Ebola virus was named because it "originated" near the ebola river in Africa
why not name the chinaman virus where it originated from?

Just like West Nile virus which originated in Uganda. At least they could call Wuhan or Hubei virus.

 

[Bboystyle]

the fact people think the coronavirus originated in china shows you how stupid people and ignorant people are

coronavirus has existed long before this crisis, and they call it the coronavirus because if you look at under a microscope the virons are surrounded by halos or "crowns"

they can call the shyt the chinese pandemic or whatevever, but animals have had the coronavirus since before we all were born they get the shyt all the time, this is just the first time it spread to humans

Covid 19 did start in china u retard. Its a novel coronavirus. Its a new strain that came from the common coronavirus that showed mild symptoms in humans.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

So much anger and hatred in here pitting minorities against each other yet none aimed at....

 

[x2y]

I prefer CCP virus pins it on the exact source of the virus. But China or Wuhan virus is ok too since they don't give a damn about anyone else either.
Don't let anyone forget about this biohazard out break. It's not even the first or 2nd time they start some shyt like this.

 

[Sbp]

They're responsible for a pandemic that currently has the entire world shut down. They're gonna have to accept this L. China Virus it is.
