I’m not sure how I feel about it being called the Chinese or Wuhan flu.
‘It belongs to all of us.

My cop buddy told me they got a 911 call when they saw 7 Asian men standing together. Hehe.

Oh, the young germ racist lady? We were eating in an Asian restaurant!

I’m more conscious of my ethnic background now. It’s probably my own paranoia and hair trigger. I hate that about myself. In that way I’ve changed.

Vash, it is not you, it is them...... phuq em!;)

Thanks for sharing your perspective Cliff....

...and the horses they rode in on...F 'em.

Wuhan is a place.
If you identify with that place then it's on you.

Long ago i learned taking responsibility for something gives you the power to do something about it. Saying its not me, it's them or it's not my fault, makes you helpless and unable to control your own life.

The chinese communist gubmint is trying to claim the US gubmint invented the wuhan virus as a a weapon of germ warfare to deflect the truth away from their own failed policies.
The iranian sheet-heads are doing the same thing.
Yet some people seem to be perfectly fine with that, and instead have a problem associated the virus with it's place if origin.
Trigger much?

is now thought to have originated in the United States midwest. Kansas maybe?
But it was named the Spanish flu because it hit so hard there, many at the time assumed that was where it originated.
Point is, naming a pandemic by it's origin is nothing new, unusual, or political.

.

also to stick it to trump for calling ini China virus

Johnston Canyon hike was busy as usual.

Was holding off redoing my floors, but in preparation for the sheeple infringing on our freedom I picked up enough flooring to redo my house. Rona was pretty empty.

I seem to feel much poorer financially and I guess bemused by the press and public reaction to the virus.
