I can't seem to fathom while some people still get offended by Trump when it's not a secret the guy is deluded and suffers from a somewhat mini version of schizophrenia.

If it had started in Nigeria, you can bet the Chinese would have called it Nigerian flu. (technically, 尼日利亚 简体), but you get my point

It is called corona virus.Why leave the name everyone knows it by to start calling it the "Chinese virus" if his intentions are not racists.
How would it sound if someone left the name HIV and start calling it the "African virus"

Lassa fever originated from Lassa, a town in Borno State, Nigeria. The fever was named Lassa fever with respect to its place of origin. Trump is simply doing what WHO should have done. They did the same with Zika virus, with Ebola and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) which originated in Saudi Arabia in 2012. But, Trump as we know him, doesn't give a shit.

Whether Chinese or Wuhan virus, it still originated from China. After watching Contagion (2011), everything that played out in that movie is over 90% similar to what the world is experiencing with COVID-19. The way the team from Hong Kong abducted the WHO official after she traced the index patient to their territory shows the subdue tactics that the Chinese government used to prevent information from leaking that they are responsible for the virus. Most Asians and Africans have unsanitary food preparation habits. But the Asians, because of their population, have the largest practice in volume.

Why would Jack Ma send medical supplies of such magnitude to the US, Europe and Africa to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic? I think it's because of the Chinese government's culpability in the spread of COVID-19, and he's trying to deflect the entire blame that China deserves.

Meanwhile, this Mexican beer has suffered sales.

Well, most of the people bitching unabashedly referred to Ebola as the "African Virus" or "Congo Disease"!!! We didn't ruffle feathers...

Shall we all pretend like we don't know how Lassa Fever got it's designation or nomenclature??!...

I'm surprised people still pay attention to Trump's childish baiting tactics... Smh.

There is nothing wrong with calling it the Wuhan Virus.
Ebola is from the River in Congo where it first originated from.
Lassa Fever, is from a place in Lassa, Nigeria.
Spanish flu originated from Spain.

Why should be Wuhan/ China different?
HIV originated from Africa,let's leave the name everyone knows it by and start calling it the "African virus"

You have a good point. I can't explain his reasoning, but I've got no skin in the game - the Chinese have been just as pejorative.

I've got no issue with "Western African Ebola virus epidemic", and I have no issue with "Chinese flu".

Another reckless statement from Trump

What is reckless about it? There is incontrovertible evidence that the Chinese government knew what was going on and tried to suppress the information. Arrested the doctor who warned about it and made him sign a statement that he was spreading a hoax. Now we know better.

Do we even know if the doctor was killed by the Chinese government to silence him forever?

so is it reckless to say Ebola virus ?
Do you know what MERS mean, the Nile virus, SARS ? and they were actually named after where they originated from. There’s nothing reckless about it, what is reckless is the Chinese trying to pin a virus that came out of the country on the US saying the US self brought it secretly to there country. In light of that propaganda Trump need to make it clear because if it doesn’t China will just reroute the virus to be a American thing

Lol! Don't waste your time trying to explain to these brainless beings.

No matter how absurd, ignorant or downright racistz they will always find a way to justify his comments.

Rather face his spectacularly incompetent handling of pandemic, Trump is seekin, as usual, to distract with nonsensical tweets.
