Oh feelings...I get it. So if something is true but hurts your feelings we should not mention it. You're over exaggerating this bro. Hysteria and racial tensions are not being projected by anyone besides the ones that are "offended."
Just because a very small percentage will use this as a way to "flaunt their racism" is not a reason to withdraw facts from the situation.

China appears to have as almost stopped the infections.
This is why. The virus already has 2 names. The Coronavirus and the Wuhan virus. Trump can’t call it the Wuhan virus because his dumbshit followers won’t get the message. They don’t even know where Beijing is.
OSA, I lived in San Francisco during the height of the AIDS epidemic. At the beginning, we all called it the “gay disease” and it was “something only homos got”. The nations response was a disaster. Finally, Reagan, to his credit, addressed the problem.
Words are powerful. I suggest you delve into the works of one George Orwell whilst in self isolation.

This isn't insensitive?
I have heard the comparison to the AIDS epidemic before and I know about Orwell. Again, Trump isn't blaming China like people were blaming the gays in SF, and saying its "their" problem because they have gay sex. If I report on food poisoning in a Chinese restaurant am I inflaming racial tensions by notating it was a Chinese restaurant and not just a restaurant? Of course not.
It should be presented as the coronavirus that originated in Wuhan province or in a Chinese city. Nothing wrong with that.
As for the crossing out I question the authenticity of the photo, the internetz and all. However, one does not know what is going on behind closed doors politically in regards to support and such
I always thought one step was Asian, I guess not.
And on top of everything else, Trump is doing this, so we are talking about how racist he is, and not about what a shitty job he is doing on the Mar-a-lago Virus.
If you are still w/Trump, you are at least ok w/racism, but I just can't imagine how racist you'd have to be to fight for something stupid like this.
Fox "news" sheep.
San Francisco crowned the ‘world’s best’ city to live: survey

Agree strongly. I think that two reasons why this hasn't been discussed much are:
1) No media member wants to take the chance of being labeled as a racist. That's the kiss of death in that business.
2) Many media members are leaning on the WHO for their information about the virus and the WHO is simply a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party.
One look at my dick and you'd see I wasn't Asian. I am not the one fighting for anything bro. You, tine, and Jay are the ones upset that Our President calls it Chinese virus among other terms as corona virus etc. This discussion should be #1049 on the list when talking about the situation we have right now.
Again. To use another example. When Katrina hit thousands of African Americans were displaced. No one thought it was racist to say that or to bring up their ethnicity. I feel like I am trying to explain this to a person who doesn't speak English.
No idea what issue is with saying Chinese Coronavirus. I’ve been saying African AIDS for years....
Also it’s called covid19 not the Coronavirus because that is a blanket term. You might as well call SARS the Chinese Coronavirus as well.
Even if you are against identity politics calling it Chinese Coronavirus makes you look like a idiot .
