Coronavirus Thread Political

You already know the answer to this question.

Not everyone refers to every disease by it’s official name, get over it.

[Oldandtired]

I have not seen you doing any pearl clutching over Trump supporters getting attacked.
In fact there are a lot of leftist who believe Trump supporters deserve to be attacked.
I just thought of the reason most of the Trump supporters getting attacked are lighter skinned and are not as important because they are not in some important protected group.

The President? Shouldn’t he be using the official name?

Chinese Virus isn’t the name of this in any way shape or form.

[WildRose]

You know you’re right. Anytime he writes a medical or scientific paper on the subject he should use the official proper name.

Till then it’s whining over nothing because you want to make it a racist statement for your own less than honorable purposes.

[GWH]

Chinese virus is the official name now. That or Kung flu.

[WildRose]

Did Trump personally make this decision or was it left to the experts?

So the only time anyone should use the official name for a disease, should be when they are writing a paper?

@WildRose

Why call it the Chinese virus when that isn’t the official name(s) used?

Woooosh on the point like always. Google better my friend

[WildRose]

It originated in WuHan China, get over it.

Maybe the virus is racist itself since it disproportionately affects Asians?

Damn dude take a nap. Insinuating posters here want Trump supporters dead?

[WildRose]

The point is the fact the experts made the decision.

Are you now qualified to condescend to the actual experts? What are your credentials?

[WildRose]

Attacked and dead have distinctly different definitions.

@Samm

Hint … it is not COVID-19.

Is it the Chinese Virus?

ChicomVi 19

[NickN]

The World is dealing with a global health crisis here!

In no way, shape or form is a virus’s fricken official name have importance. Any world leader including a POTUS past, present and future has, will, can, could, should call a dangerous virus anything they well please.

Pure BS. Everyone evacuated from China or the cruise ships was held in quarantine and tested before being released.

That nine people somehow made it into the US undetected only shows that we should have shut down all passenger travel from abroad early in January when I was suggesting it.

Even with the travel ban as imposed Trump was called everything in the book from xenophobe to a racist.

As for the nine, that is a supposition we don’t know it to be true since the virus can mutate at any time.

Let’s compare the measures taken by this administration to date with those taken by the prior administrations during the SARS and MERS outbreaks. Shall we?

Not nine people.

Multiple incursions of the virus. Unknown number of people,

Nine incursions of which led to community spread.

SARS and MERS never spread beyond Asia and the ME.

Totally different virus. Terrible communicability.

[Oldandtired]

Tell me what did your state do about stockpiling supplies, or the formulation of a state plan or the creation of a state task force? Or do you live in a state that can’t do anything without getting instruction’s from DC?

Nope not the point. I have the same credentials you do…minus google

SARS and MERS killed five and nine percent of those infected.

SARS was a global killer.

SARS | Basics Factsheet | CDC

MERS hit at least 9 countries worldwide.

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)

H1N1 affected hundreds of thousands of Americans and killed as many as 13,170 in the US alone.

Nothing Trump can say will satisfy libs…nothing.

He could say " I was wrong to suggest cases would go to zero - this is a serious pandemic and we need to prepare for it."

that would satisfy me.
