    I simply do not understand the actions of the radical left democrats. They get their underlovelies in a huge wad when you call it the China flu. After all it came from China. In the past we had the Spanish flu, so it would seem to be the same thing.

    I would welcome any logical answer.

    The Spanish flu didn't start in Spain. Why do you get your underlovlies in a huge wad and call people names because they do not call it what you wish them to call it?

    Why call it anything other than what the medical profession calls it ... Covid-19. Calling it anything else just adds to confusion.

    You're not going to go to a hospital and expect the doctors to give you a China flu test?
    Your'e not going to get results for the China flu.
    They aren't gong to make a vaccine for the China flu.

    Saying "China flu" is just the social equivalent of wearing a sign that says, "Hi, I'm your obnoxious Uncle Joe, you don't want me
    at Thanksgiving cause I'm just going to say embarrassing crap to the rest of the family ...".

    “To maintain morale, World War I censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States. Newspapers were free to report the epidemic's effects in neutral Spain, such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII, and these stories created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit. This gave rise to the name "Spanish" flu. Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify with certainty the pandemic's geographic origin, with varying views as to its location.”

    No. Scientists and doctors don't call it China flu because several different types of viruses have originated in China and
    it pays to immediately know what the hell you are actually taking about when conducting research and diagnosing patients.

    New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Friday pointed to research showing that strains of the novel coronavirus entered his state from Europe, not China

    Could it be that there are two variations of the flu, one on the West Coast and one on the East Coast and that the one one the west coast came in from Asia and the one on the East Coast came in from Europe.

    he allowed it to enter ny by bringing all those students home from italy after italy was ravished by the virus, he then allowed those students to go back to school without testing any of them... lo & behold, a coupla weeks later and ny was 'the hot spot'...

    btw, if you bought a ferrari at a ny dealership, where did the ferrari come from? bettin you'll argue it came from ny, even though they're manufactured in italy... same for the virus... it came from china

    Doctors and Hospitals aren't going to give you tests for the "China" virus, so why call it that?
    Unnecessary bull crap from petty people stuck in adolescence.

    Or maybe you could address the racial concerns over the West Nile or Zika viruses.
