Apparently calling the
COVID-19 virus the Wuhan Virus is now considered racist. The Democrat Media
Complex realized calling it the Wuhan Virus made it more difficult to transition
to the Trump Virus.
A few days ago, the
politically correct World Health Organization was deeply concerned about the stigma
that could occur when talking about the COVID-19 virus that has spread all over
the globe.
DO - talk about the new #coronavirus disease (#COVID19)— World Health Organization (WHO) (@WHO) March 2, 2020
DON'T - attach locations or ethnicity to the disease, this is not a “Wuhan Virus”, “Chinese Virus” or “Asian Virus”.
The official name for the disease was deliberately chosen to avoid stigmatizationhttps://t.co/yShiCMfYF3 pic.twitter.com/belHrq5HVo
For God’s sake, you
wouldn’t want to bring attention to the fact that it did start in Wuhan and
that the Chinese government didn’t do much to stop the spread of it early on.
Those in the media have been the ones calling it "the Wuhan virus/coronavirus" for weeks, so I guess they were being racist/bigoted this whole time. pic.twitter.com/ibogMw3rK0— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) March 9, 2020
Someday we will look
back fondly on the days when we worried about whether the Coronavirus was
racist.
