If it originated in Israel would Trump call it the "Jewish virus". No he would not because there would justifiably be outrage. Attempting to link this virus to a racial or ethnic group will just be a justification for some people to discriminate or even threaten Chinese Americans.

Yes, he is pissed at China, with some justification, but don't take it out on Americans of Chinese descent.

Judaism is a religion not a place. Good lord this is idiotic.

There is absolutely nothing racist about calling it the Chinese flu or wuhan flu.

China completed testing for a drug that helps reduce symptoms over a month ago. But Trump is shooting out about France and the U.S. as seemingly discovering this. Trump will not give China credit by calling it the China Cure. That undermines his talking point of China Virus.

Here is a link to testing results from China dated Feb 18th.

Same people who think I need to apologise for the slave trade because of my skin colour when my ancestors 200 years ago were starvng to death in Ireland or working 20 hour days in factories from the age of 9, think it's racist to refer to a virus caused by barbaric practices in China and then covered up by the Chinese government allowing it to spread...as a 'Chinese' virus.

Well the US were experimenting with Lyme disease as a bioweapon and it escaped from plum island.

You must not watch the news. Hundreds of reporters called it the chinese coronavirus or the wuhan coronavirus well before trump ever did. These reporters also work for cnn and msnbc. The fake news lies to you and you believe it. What a sheep. Go to your local er and get treated for tds right away

There’s no way you’re Irish with your rhetoric. Absolute Brit if ever there was one.

Why were your ancestors starving a quarter of a century before the famine?

Also, less BS, no one has ever asked you personally to apologize for the slave trade. Nonsense and you know it.

+1.

Why do you assume that calling it the chinese virus creates a racist environment? You clearly don't know any racists. Those people were racist to Chinese people before the virus. They haven't changed their demeanor at all. People born of chinese ancestry but have always lived in america are not at fault. They are Americans. Why does the left so quickly try to assume trump is turning america into nazi germany? You clearly don't know how nazi germany came to be if you think trump is this white supremacist. News flash. China has concentration camps and locks ups muslims and dissenters.

And to all the people saying it's ethnic naming and naming it on a place instead of an ethnicity would be better...CHINA IS A PLACE.

Finally, I do not call it the chinese coronavirus. I just call it covid or coronavirus. I'm just acknowledging that chinese coronavirus is an acceptable name. China is a place. It's referenced by it's country of origin

Fun fact, China is also the origin of Trump & his daughters clothing lines.

Few are calling it "Chinese Coronavirus." Rather, it's being called the "The Chinese Virus," mainly by the President.

As others mentioned, consider the motivations for doing it, which are to provide political cover for a botched response to it.

Moreover, it's stupid to attach an ethnicity and nationality to a disease. The purpose is to antagonize Chinese people, which does no one any good.

Also consider its impact on people. My wife, for example, is an intensive care physician. She's also Asian. The last thing she needs is to deal with uneducated racists fearing her and/or diminishing her work while she's trying to provide care in an overcrowded unit.

Don't be an .

Botched response? Ok yes he downplayed the severity of the virus but I would not call it botched. The us was one of the first countries to close their border to china and that decision was 100% trump. He's gutted regulations to allow companies to scale manufacturing and provide optimal response to the virus. His response couldn't be better. Are you gonna say there isn't enough tests? We have 330 million people in this country and need to build tests from scratch for this thing. It's not like a rapid strep test that we've identified and cataloged years ago to perfection. He has responded better to coronavirus than obama did to h1n1 or ebola. The only thing he botched was his psa. His actions have been impeccable

As is nearly every other clothing line. You wear nike?

Shut everything down and spread everyone out!!!! Meanwhile....our borders are still wide open and state forrests, camping etc...are being shut down next week but it's ok for now.

The drug being thrown out, while FDA approved, is toxic and can cause heart damage. Quick fix for older people but younger people shouldn't use it due to long term side effects.

Today the CDC are advising doctors and nurses treating patients with the virus to use scarves & bandanas because there are not enough medical masks.

That’s shameful.

The administration botched it big time by not getting supplies in place, including testing kits.

They botched it back during SARS, H1N1 etc...they weren't prepared then either. S. Korea learned due to proximity and we're ready. Maybe as a community, this event will help us turn a corner and plan better for the next. I say we bring home some of the manufacturing and distribution of these medical supplies, create more American jobs and become more self reliant. Seems to be working for oil industry.

It is a clear and concerted attempt to shift all blame for the American public health debacle to the Chinese.

I do wear Nike.

But here’s the rub, I’m not a politician who publicly blames China for everything from trade to diseases, all the while making money from their work at the expense of American workers.

I’d have thought the hypocrisy was obvious. Judge trump by his actions not the words he feeds the naive.

You could be right but I don’t recall the stock market crash, unemployment or isolation at that time in the US. Either way, twos wrong don’t make a right.

PS. Epstein didn't kill himself...

Another memory hole event. I could name several others under previous administration's.
