The "Chinese Virus" Now the New Buzz Term

[Created4]

Trump has pivoted to using the term "Chinese virus" to describe the pandemic in tweets and statements. For example, on Tuesday he used the term in a meeting with CEOs from the hotel industry — a sector ravaged by the pandemic.

The outbreak has disrupted the economy, as people work from home to avoid contact and to look after kids shut out of schools. Travel and entertainment sectors have ground to a halt. Experts have said the worst is yet to come as the number of infected people grows.

Asked on Tuesday whether he would continue using the term "Chinese virus," Trump rejected criticism that he was creating a stigma and said he was hitting back at China for statements about the U.S. military.

"China was putting out information, which was false, that our military gave this to them. That was false. And rather than having an argument, I said I have to call it where it came from — it did come from China. So I think it's a very accurate term," he said.

It started in China. Just the facts, ma'am, just the facts.

Not specific enough. He should be calling it the Wuhan Virus.

And despite what all of the triggered SJW snowflakes and paranoid people may think, it is standard to identify a virus by the place that it first breaks out.

This year’s flu vaccine:

The A(H1N1)pdm09 vaccine component was updated from an A/Michigan/45/2015 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus to an A/Brisbane/02/2018 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus.

The A(H3N2) vaccine component was updated from an A/Singapore/INFIMH-16-0019/2016 A(H3N2)-like virus to an A/Kansas/14/2017 (H3N2)-like virus.

Both B/Victoria and B/Yamagata virus components from the 2018-2019 flu vaccine remain the same for the 2019-2020 flu vaccine.

Trump must have been watching Tucker Carlson.

Prior to the "politically correct" memo going out, even CNN and MSNBC was calling it the Wuhan virus or the Chinese Corona Virus. It's not racist to call the Spanish flu...Spanish. Also the Ebola virus is named for the Ebola river in Africa. Why wasn't that considered racist?

It’s just another ridiculous faux outrage from the left. And Trump is rubbing it in. Good for him.

Tucker is right...when they shout "racists," usually that shuts everyone up. I stand with the President it is a Chinese Virus. The virus started in China and they remained silent for over a month about it, allowing people to come and go out of the area infecting a lot of people.

I am surprised no one has commented yet on the REASON Trump starting calling it this:

"China was putting out information, which was false, that our military gave this to them. That was false."

Did he choose his words carefully? Our "military" is obviously not operating within China's borders, but.......

And besides the origin issue, is this situation being used to get most U.S. companies out of China and bring those factories/jobs back to the U.S.?

Things are happening so fast, and decisions are being made so quickly, it is hard to believe that these decisions are being made on the fly due to a "sudden" crisis....

World military games were in Wuhan I believe. Right before the outbreak. US was there. I’ll find a link

You know by doing this he exacerbates the political divide between us and the Chinese. They already think this is going to be used to leverage against them in international psyops.

Beijing is carefully, incrementally shaping the narrative that, from the beginning of the coronavirus attack, the leadership knew it was under a hybrid war attack

they also suspect it's a type biological warfare against them

Adding all that to the fact that coronavirus genome variations in Iran and Italy were sequenced and it was revealed they do not belong to the variety that infected Wuhan, Chinese media are now openly asking questions and drawing a connection with the shutting down in August last year of the “unsafe” military bioweapon lab at Fort Detrick, the Military Games, and the Wuhan epidemic. Some of these questions had been asked– with no response – inside the U.S. itself.

All data from the lying Chinese and their agents.

Reality points to it starting in China and that is why they are refusing to let anyone else investigate and have been lying and hiding the facts all along.

Lots of political hay being made on both sides.

The natsocs say China should be blamed (and billed, lol).

The SJWs say it's racist to state the fact that it came from China.

Not much TP but no shortage of clowns
