Hypocrisy Of WHO by nuele(m): 11:41pm On Mar 21, 2020 |
So Wuhan virus is given a befitting and sexy name - COVID-19. Same was with SARS. But should it have been from Africa, we would have had it being called a name akin to the originating place just like Ebola (a river in Congo), Lassa fever (Lassa, a town in Borno). According to CDC website, the disease (Lassa) was named "after a town in Nigeria where it first occurred" (and nobody protested, am surprised though) There is psychological consequence to naming a bad event with one's place, it negatively affects cultural worth. Albeit, this doesn't applies to Africa. I hope they change this, I suggest (after this virus is over), Africans should protest this madness. Let them give Ebola another name, so also Lassa fever. Very cruel. I miss Mugabe. If Congolese people are comfortable with such affront, that's them; we are Nigerians, we should reject such. I hope someone repost this and tag WHO on twitter. Either it's Wuhan Virus or no more Lassa fever or Ebola whatever, let's rise and defend our cultural heritage. I hope this gets to front-page for greater discuss or probably after the pandemic is over. 2 Likes |

Well said. But Covid is a.k.a Wuhan virus. By Trump, it's called the "Chinese Virus" |
