Racist Trump Defends Using ‘Chinese Virus’ to Describe Coronavirus Pandemic

With the public focused on Trump’s early failures to take COVID-19 seriously, the administration is using racist terms and searching for scapegoats

    Trump haters: you could turn the tables, make friends & influence people when you call it the “U.S. (sponsored) Virus”, like what the Chinese foreign ministry is saying:

    Who fucking cares what the Chinese say?
    We already know they’re xenophobic and corrupt.
    The US on the other hand…champion of freedom?
    Xenophobic and corrupt apparently…

    I may have to rethink my opinion of him. I used to think he was really dumb if somewhat canny. But this? Getting every centrist dipshit pundit and Hilarystan to weep and gnash their teeth over what he calls the virus instead of calling out the criminally inadequate response that will lead to countless deaths? That is sheer genius. Y’all are gonna get AT LEAST 4 more years of this motherfucker.

    The reporter straight up asked him why he was prompting violence in the streets and he just kind hand waved it.

    Funny. All the lefty governors are praising his response.

    I like Chinese folks and the country overall (having backpacked/travelled there a few times in my life), but their government is completely at fault the world economy and your daily routines have come to a screeching halt, not Trump. Local officials in Wuhan suppressed (jailed / disappeared) the doctors / citizen journalists trying to get the word out about the initial Coronavirus cases, then the Chinese government let 5,000,000 people leave the Wuhan region without screening (which is how the virus got out into the world) — I’d add some useful cites from WSJ if any of you cared (but of course you don’t), and WSJ articles are all behind paywalls anyways, maybe you can read them via www.google.com/search?q=wall+street+journal+5+million+people+left+wuhan

    Anyways, trade and immigration to/from China really needs to be shut off (or severely curtailed) until their government shuts down all of the gross “wet markets” where locals pick out — have butchered on the spot — wildlife that isn’t meant to be eaten, like civet cats, pangolins, bats and snakes.

    How many nasty sicknesses have come out of China in recent years? Let’s count: Swine flu, bird flu, SARS, H1N1, Asian flu (in the 50’s; racism even then?) and now this. Honestly, calling it the “Chinese virus” isn’t a slam against the actual race, it’s naming and putting the blame on the people in charge over there.

    For all his faults, I’m glad Trump does take a (periodic) stand against stuff like this. You think your candidate would do the same?

    I’ll take my downvote now.

    The swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus that appeared in 2009 and was first found in human beings in Mexico, is a reassortant with at least three parents. Six of the genes are closest in sequence to those of H1N2 ‘triple-reassortant’ influenza viruses isolated from pigs in North America around 1999-2000, and Swine flu was first isolated from a pig in Iowa. you might want to do a little research before starting the racism so soon. www.newscientist.com/article/dn18063-timeline-the-secret-history-of-swine-flu/

    Here’s some research for you too: www.nytimes.com/2009/06/24/health/24flu.html ; there’s also an academic article from 2016 casting some doubts on your assertion, but I don’t believe Tiki allows multiple URLs in comments. If you google “10.7554/eLife.16777” you’ll see what I’m talking about (it mentions the virus evolved in Mexico, but genetic components came from Eurasia due to long-distance live swine trade). P.S. I don’t usually casually throw juvenile name calling (“racist, sexist, homophobic, pig”, etc.) directly at people I disagree with, because I’d like to engage and learn something instead of being dismissed as just another troll, but if you want to go for it we can play that game, Pedophile.

    second paragraph from your chosen article says it all “But they emphasized that there was no way to prove their theory and only sketchy data underpinning it.” . . . and if you had an IQ higher than your shoe size you would realize I didn’t call you a racist , I said “research before starting the racism so soon.” but no one expects an inbred such as yourself to understand basic english.
