Covid-19
 
That's the name.....NOT "kung-flu" or "Chinese Virus"....
There is NOTHING funny about this. GOOD people are dying and are going to die. This is no time for 'dark humor' or stupid race baiting labels. This is the time for us to realize our mutual humanity. This is the time we need to be smart, not a smart ass. This virus WILL touch us all, in some way, and it WILL completely change our worlds. Lots of us will be in a tough spot very soon. Jobs will dwindle, and the economy will take a big hit. Right now, we should be pressuring our so called 'representatives' to put their petty 'politics' aside, and listen to the recommendations of the CDC and other Specialists trained and experienced in dealing with Pandemics. Would you let a painter, do your Heart surgery??? then don't let some talking head blowhard, tell you what this Pandemic is or isn't. Take 'Social Distancing' seriously, as the ONLY means currently available to SLOW down the inevitable spike in cases, so our hospitals don't get run into the ground. If you have a stash of masks in your garage...DONATE THEM to your local hospital. You DO NOT NEED THEM....because you are staying home, and away from other people. This isn't 'every man for himself'....this is, 'we're all in this TOGETHER'. This is America, when **** happens, we are at our BEST....
God bless you all, and stay safe, stay smart.

Hey...the prez calls it the Chinese Virus

Wow.

There will never be a subject beyond humor. Ever.

If you don't care for dark humor, that is OK. Don't try to tell others it is a not the time for it.

It originated in China. The Chinese flu or Kung flu is a legitimate nick name for it, and much easier to say that Covid-19.

You have 100% right to have any opinion on the subject. The rest of the world has the same right as you. A different opinion.

So, I guess "Chinese Bat Flu" is out then?

What's the ruling on "Wuhan Virus"?

Should we petition to change the names of "Ebola", "Zika", "West Nile" and all other infectious diseases with place-of-origin names?

I think what we really don't need is another virtue-signalling tirade from one of the countless Facebook/Twitter woke-scolders.

Carry on.

It’s NBD until morons and racists start taking it out on Asian-Americans, which is already happening.

Maybe the Wuhan virus a better nickname. It is actually beyond my comprehension that anyone would blame Asian-Americans or Asians specifically. I guess ignorance is infinite.
