Trump supporters: Why do you think Trump insists on referring to COVID as "China" or "Wuhan" virus? What is the benefit which outweighs the harm?

@JovialPlutonian

It's kind of jarring to hear.

Yeh I think everyone knew what Trump was trying to do when he first used the term, same as fake news@Pikachu

@JovialPlutonian it's only the Trump supporters in Oz. Most of us are taking it very seriously.

You lot are more responsible than the brits or the US are, I know that personally @nowic2

@JovialPlutonian well, we do have our moments. By the outbreak in Victoria has demonstrated just how infectious covid is. NZ has done very well.

You take such good care of you wildlife it’s amazing to see and your streets are so clean, just need to encourage all the other nations :)@nowic2

@JovialPlutonian I wish that was true re caring for our wild life. Oz has a high extinction rate for native creatures. Whereabouts have you been?

Brisbane and Sydney, the extinction rate isn’t all your fault though and you have very sensitive ecosystem, no?@nowic2

@JovialPlutonian both Brisbane & Sydney are good places to visit. Hope you enjoyed them.

Correct a lot of the Australian ecosystems are very sensitive. Add to that, a lot of the wildlife especially some of the smaller critters are also very sensitive &/or limited in their food & environmental requirements.

Then the most recent fires were devastating. It will possibly take years to get an idea of just how much so.

We just need to stop China creating a nuclear winter then we may have a chance to redeem ourselves @nowic2

@JovialPlutonian totally agree with that. Unfortunately it's going to be difficult
