Absolutely. If China isn’t the origin, why didn’t it close it borders, it obvious if it was from another country China would lock its borders quickly. 1 Like |

alezzy13: Of course Testing kits are available, and now there will be more, no one said testing kits weren’t available in the US, but counties in the US and the hospitals in those rural areas were not set up for this and besides if China has been honest from onset, Italy, Spain and US, Uk and other will not be what it is today. And get this there’s true federalism in the US, where governors and mayor are responsible for there states, what the federal government does is support and give whatever the states need to carry out whatever they need to do, to boost that Trump reached out the private institutions to help with testing and logistics. Now all private labs and health institutions can carry out tests on there own and just so you know a test is not free in the US you have to pay a lot of money for it but trump made sure testing is free at no cost to the government or the individual. He has done a pretty fine and good job. Compared to Italy and Spain, Iran who operate on socialized medicine meaning the government is total control of health, so in a pandemic like this the government can not handle it ever hence the reason the private partnership in US is good, they have 3k+ cases and 68deaths, 70+ recovered. Only two states have over 500cases, 1/4 of the country is about 50-100, half of the country is 10-20, and the rest is 1-5, and West Virginia has no case at all. |

It is Chinese virus,they hug transformer if they want. Look at how they distributed there virus to the whole world, people are dying because of them. If that is what racism is all about, who cares 1 Like 1 Share |

Angelfrost:There is no law that says it must be named after a place or people,lots of such viruses weren't.There wasnt a sort of naming ceremony were it was decided it will be called a spanish flu or so on.The name such things would be widely known by can be quite unpredictable- For one reason or another the "Spanish flu" and so on was what people came to know it by,hence that's why it's used,and I don't find any offence with that.I'll do find an offence when,for example,you leave the recognisable name such as HIV and start calling it the African virus Clearly,it shows you have an ill intention in using that term. |

mvem:Bros, it's not stated anywhere that it must be named after the place where it originated from... Corona virus already has a name, leaving that name to call it the Chinese Virus is racist bro... It's like waking up one morning and calling Lassa fever the Nigerian fever.. PS. Spanish flu didn't originate from Spain. |
Re: Trump Calls COVID’19 A “Chinese Virus” by FancyDaddy: 3:32pm On Mar 17, 2020 |
Let's pretend Corona is an Olympic Sport. First to stop the virus takes the Gold Medal. Now the virus is slowing down in Xhina. Dating scam was named as Nigerian Scam in Cyberspace. I don't see anything wrong if the Virus is referenced as Xhina Virus. Why do alot of people complain on whatever Trump Trumpet aloud. Not everybody can pretend, only born Actress or an Actor can easily be diplomatic on naked truth. I guess Trump is not an Actor. But that should not be an offence in anyway. |

themonk: Bros, I have been sympathetic to China, from the outset, on this outbreak. Still, I won't argue to support their errors. Lijian Zhao, who was responsible for the statement, is a very top official in China. Imagine Garba Shehu remarked negatively on Cameroon and you think the Cameroonians wouldn't take his voice as Buhari's? |

Why the outrage? Is it not a Chinese virus? As if Ebola was not named after where it was just discovered |

Trump that will still tweet it again. When Chinese Foreign Affair official said USA imported it to China, I knew there will be a clapback but never expected it from father clapback. |

helinues: No, it is not a reckless statement. It is a subtle message to China. Remember weeks back, some Chinese officials where claiming the corona virus was brought to China by some America soldiers. Now, if you look at the incubation period of this infection, you it is not possible. Except you are telling me the US soldiers were immune to the disease b4 taking it to China. So, leave trump.

tatatar: Chief, I understand the very thrust of your argument... There is no mistaking the fact that Trump was indirectly condescending and insulting in his choice of terminology. I'm all about not making a mountain out of a mold hill, which would ultimately serve the troll's (In this case, Trump's) satisfaction or pleasure. |
