CV19 is the disease that SARS-COV-2 causes, kind of like how HIV causes AIDS and coronavirus is a generic term that not only relates to the current outbreak, but also SARS and MERS. But I'm glad the president is under your skin and living inside your head. Does he pay you rent? Don't talk to me about being biased, hack.


ahaha, already pivoting away from your "lay people use lay terms" excuse? i love how you can't refute my argument and keep moving to new spins, apparently hoping that one will stick eventually...

again, for the VERY slow people now: 'corona' and 'covid 19' are the names everyone has been using. the whole 'china virus' narrative is a political strategy, a desperate attempt to deflect blame.

you not being able to acknowledge such an obvious truth just illustrates that you are either incredibly dumb, or incredibly butthurt not to admit it, because that would mean acknowledging you're wrong and i'm right. so nice projection there, i know that i'm not paying any rent to live in your head, and the last couple of month there were multiple instances of you barging into threads, randomly triggered by one of my posts, abandoning all logic and reason in order to disagree and fight. the obsession is real, haha...

ahh ye there's "virus" after the "corona", well it's just getting worse, it's not even "china virus" or "china coronavirus" but CHINESE virus :rofl:


I mean, they call that 1918 flu outbreak the Spanish flu even though it did not originate in Spain (they thought it did at the time, hence the name). I've never heard anyone complain about that?

This is exactly the same thing. I do not see why it's racist at all. It is the Chinese virus, just like Nike is an American brand or tequila is a popular Mexican drink. It's perfectly fine.

The Chinese government just hates it because it points the virus back at them and they get the blame. It makes them look bad (and rightfully so). China fucked this up. They must be held responsible for it.

But you see, it's why we also in the US called it "The Congo virus" instead of Ebola.

The Spanish flu is believed to have started on a pig farm in Kansas, and spread to a nearby Army base. They called it the Spanish Flu because the Spanish media were the only ones talking about it. Almost all other media was censoring information about it.


Please see above from Surfpunk.

ironically sauceman666060606060 is totally xenophobic towards anyone from Asia or the United States yet he’s bending over for the Chinese like they’re gonna give him some free POE welfare items lmfao

the idea that the chinese government deserves blame and should be held responsible for their massive fuck up on this is not mutually exclusive to NOT renaming it for entirely different political purposes, like deflecting blame for mismanaging the crisis, while endangering asian americans by sowing division and mistrust in doing so.

the reason to oppose this artificial re-labeling is not to save the CCP from a PR defeat, but to protect asian people from violence directed at them from stupid people (a phenomenon that is unfortunately well documented in relation to covid 19).

The fuck are you talking about? Did you leave your reading comprehension at home? Acknowledged at the beginning of this stupid hack diatribe of yours:

I'm nearly positive it was never a deliberate policy until snowflakes like you started melting over it. THEN it became deliberate.


...and Chinese virus is a lay term. No pivot at all.

simple question: are you really that dishonest or just plain stupid? obviously my point is not that 'china virus' isn't a layman's term, but that pretending like anyone disagreed on that is a pivot from my ACTUAL point, which is that it was a political decision to push that new label, as there were already different terms used, by the very people who then DECIDED to try and change the narrative, in order to distract from their own shortcomings in handling the situation. so much for shitty reading comprehension.
