Hey People: It's China's Fault!
So no, I have no problem calling it the Chinese flu, since it is...

"The study also found that improved disease detection, isolation of cases, social distancing, are likely to have far greater impact than travel restrictions." Hmmm, did that come up before?

If I were Trump I would probably go out of my way to say it just because I think most people see it as a truly stupid thing to argue over and it's truly unlikely to hurt him, and any attention on this is attention away from his initial poor response"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Originally posted by seer View PostWhat is wrong with calling it Wuhan or China virus?

So maybe we should start referring to it as the Chicom coronavirus given the government's culpability.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostI'm far more concerned with how the Chinese government (which the Chinese people at large have little or no control over) concealed and even destroyed evidence before being forced to finally fess up and admit there was a serious problem. And even after their conduct changed very little.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostAnd what about the fact that the liberal media was calling it the "Wuhan virus" and the "Chinese coronavirus" for weeks and only got their nose out of joint when Trump followed suit and used the common name? Apparently it only became racist when Trump did it.
And what happened when Trump fielded questions from the MSM after announcing the release of a number of drugs with the potential for treating the disease and maybe slowing the transmission? What sort of questions did he get? Someone asking whether it was true that someone in his Administration once referred to it as "Kung flu."
That was their priority. And that is why increasingly more and more Americans are tuning them out.Last edited by rogue06; 03-19-2020, 12:59 PM.

Originally posted by seer View PostWhere did Trump call the virus a hoax?
He was not treating it seriously, when confirmed cases of community spread were confirmed, Trump relied on his scientific hunch that the WHO was overplaying the gravity; at the end of February, " So far we have lost nobody to coronavirus in the US, you wonder, the press is in hysteria mode. CNN, fake news", Trump later in the speech called the Democrats criticism of the administrations preparations, "their new hoax". Seems the Dem criticism were appropriate.
What was the administration's pandemic plan? What was Trump doing at the time your OP highlights as critical to save lives?
At the beginning of this week, mid March, Trump started taking it seriously instead of calling the governor of Washington a snake. The stock market threatened to crash, the idea of Trump's legacy as a great stock market crash was too much.
