@SquattingSlav I refer you to my previous comment. I'm sure you can find Yale's address. What's with the comrade shit? You know nothing about me!! 🤷♀️
@Harriet03 No no comrade you made a claim with a picture you posted but can't seem to back it up so I did the work for you. No credible source is reporting it. Turns out comrade Gregg is an activist so his bias discredits his points. He doesn't seem to have any journals published of his work. Comrade, I would sit this one out.
It may have started with the Chinese, but since the US has taken the lead by far in coronavirus cases and deaths, we should now call it the Trump Virus or Trump Plague. You are just virtue signaling if you can't accept that the US has done the worst job of controlling it by far, and has earned the nicknames.
@TakingBackMidgaard Your lack of integrity is a character flaw. It carries over to your work. Hopefully you have supervisors and secretaries who clean yours up to avoid embarrassment to DNR.

Technically calling it [i]China flu[/i] is inaccurate, because it doesn't have absolutely anything to do with a flu virus. It just makes whoever uses the term look ignorant. It'd be like dealing with someone who's willing to teach you how to make pizza, and who calls a tomato a red potato.
Also, both the virus (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease (CoViD-19) have their official names already. If we want to rename things by their origin, then we should rename the Spanish flu to Kansas flu too, I suppose? It doesn't make much sense, from a taxonomic point of view, just creates more confusion for nothing.
@Amyrakunejo Trying to place the Blame on the Chinese Government isn't going to make it go away "like magic or a miracle". It's also not political either, it's not "a hoax by Liberals/Democrats and Fake News to make him look bad for re-election". Creating chaos, confusion and division not based on scientific facts and not having a fact based plan about how to live with it, is what makes him look bad.
@senghenydd But it wasnt used as a political tool, it was just a name that popped up because Spain remained neutral and was the only country that was more engaged in reporting about the matter.
@Kwek00 Yes that's correct with Covid-19 it was first reported in China we now know there was a case in France 27th December 2019 however I think China should be included in the name of this virus - PS I hope it goes that way I'll always think of it as China Covid-19 regardless what the rest of the world thinks.
@senghenydd The entire "China Virus" thing, was popularised by a world leader at the moment that he was receiving criticism for his inaction. After that, the same guy started deflecting all criticism towards China as if China wasn't only responsible for it's bad communication and authoritarian tendencies at the beginning of the outbreak but also for the internal affairs that the world leader was being criticised for. The name was pretty much a tool to rally his base and point towards someone outside their innercircle. Because self-criticism and self-evaluation doesn't work well with poppulism (neither left or right). Because in the poppulist mind, the people and it's leader are always moral and good and all the problems they face are just imported by those outside what they perceive as being "the people". That's their entire thing, that's how it works, and that's why corona/covid had to be named "China-Virus". You should try to figure out how manny "pet-names" are launched from the white house now a days via twitter accounts.
