I do 'give a shit' about Asians; i have an asian-america son and an asian wife who is 1/2 chinese and sees no problem with using the phrase wuhan virus.

It's terrible that people try to turn a simple thing like referring to a virus by it's origination (like typically done).

What do *you* call the sars-cov-2 virus? It is NOT 'coronavirus' that is something 'the press' made up because after trump started using china virus or wuhan virus they decided that minute to call trump racist (nothing further from the truth) and that somehow it's evil to refer to a virus by where it was discovered I never heard anybody complain about the name of Ebola in that way, because there is no reason for it.

People that saw that in my view are the racists; and anybody that took it upon themselves to harm somebody of chinese decent because of the pres. calling the virus by it's origin, after the 'news' had been doing it for a month or more, should be hung up by their privates and *then* tortured.

I only have heard anecdotal evidence of any change in violence directed at Asians/Chinese tied to anything trump said regarding the sars-cov-2 virus.

Literally if a document was trying to reference the virus and they put covid-19 as the name of the virus that is just wrong it's the name of the disease so it should have been crossed out and changed to sars-cov-2 or the alias wuhan virus.

Exactly how is referring to the source of a virus 'shifting blame', it's a fact. The virus came from there it's not in dispute. You bought up 'it came through Europe' are you trying to say it originated in Europe or that it came through Europe to the usa and what would that have to do with the proper and long standing tradition of naming a virus after the geographic location where it originated.

If a new virus was discovered in Wisconsin and they called it 'the wisconsin virus' it would not bother me at all; in fact if it makes you feel better you can refer to sars-cov-2 as the wuconshan virus.

I'm not exaggerating about how to deal with somebody that would harm an asian because of the origination of the virus. Say if somebody killed somebody for that reason, i would have no problem pulling the lever on the electric chair myself.

The original virus strain may have come from China, but the strain that is affecting the USA was genome back to Europe. The mutation of this strain can only be found in Europe. It's like an Asian person marrying a European, and when they genome the couple kids' DNA the kids have ancestry back to Europe and China. The fact that the virus has both genomes points to it being from Europe and not directly from China.




The naming of virus from there origins has been changed. Is there a country call Swine?




Is this how we MAGA?

Swine is where it originated as in it came from pigs and you should happy as a pig in shit about that name since the swine in question came from China as per gene tracing as shown in a post way above, yet we called it Swine flu not Chinese pork flu.

It's a shame you have taken these swipes at Andrew as he has been pouring oil on these troubled waters and be very civil to you.


That being said I agree about family and I would never say anything about your wife or kids. Although I did sleep with all your girlfriends.

I am typing very slowly so I hope that helps, but reread the link showing the origins of swine flu. Granted it's from an academic perspective but I'm sure you can find someone to sound out the "big" words.

The food is delicious, the shops are prospering, the parade was great. Walking tours continue. Please come and visit and enjoy Chinatown.
