Are you serious ? I swear that Liberalism has turned into a fully blown mental illness. Just because orange man says something, does not mean racists. The clear background behind your opinion is that Donald Trump called this virus the 'Chinese Virus' because it originated in Wuhan, China. And because trump said it, that's racist.

If so / then

Why are you not protesting against the name 'spanish flu' as racist ? Why do you have to virtue signal and call racism when things clearly aren't racist, does it make you feel better about yourself ? Im just genuinely curious of your thought process.

My comments have nothing to do with anyone's political point of view. I respect you opinion and I would suggest you have more respect for mine.

I don't know if the naming it the Spanish flu escalated racism or not. It is immaterial. It was over a century ago, different time different circumstances. BMW didn't exist, no mass media, before second world war. Not applicable

On another note, I think the information to the public should be lead by the experts. When politicians are involved the experts have to become politically sensitive and we don't get straight yes or no answers. There is a spin put on information that causes confusion and more fear than if we got just the facts.

Well said. We need leadership but I don't think the president should contradict his health and safety expert for no good reason.

He's done so many incompetent things lately, and completely lost his shit with the pandemic.

I worry for America. More for having this president, less than having the virus outbreak.

We can beat this thing, but hiring the wrong man to lead the country? That's gonna do far more damage to this great nation.
