    What? As I recall Congress critters calling Trump xenophobic for travel restrictions concerning China at outbreak inception was also the inception of politicizing the issue.

    Eh, you know this. Silly game, this.

    An ethnic embellishment serves no legitimate purpose, no matter what the covert agenda might be. It is a global pandemic.

    I follow the statements of responsible medical authorities in the matter, not those of politicians who insinuate their politics into their rhetoric.

    The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Robert Redfield, agreed when questioned at a House hearing that it was "absolutely wrong and inappropriate to use such labels."

    Too many allow themselves to be misled by politicians in what is a medical matter.


    Epidemiologists have enough to deal with without having the xenophobes slithering out of the sewers to sabotage international cooperation.

    The Red Chinese should be made to compensate the rest of the world for this bio-plague of theirs.

    It was a pig virus. It could accurately be referred to as the sow virus or the porker virus, too.

    That would mean war most likely, if as you say, you're going to make them compensate.

    Only weeks ago Democrats were promising to throw the U.S. borders wide open. We also saw how great they handled the AIDS pandemic. Only total fools would take anything they or their base say seriously.

    Funny after it becomes a pandemic they try to blame it on America. If you believe that report, I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn.

    If you want to MAKE a foreign country do something, and they won't do it, you got to start the war.

    In today's world, those who claim racism are the racists. You will know them by the racist claims they make, and by their party affiliation, which begins with the letter "D".

    (1) China is not a race.
    (2) His description is accurate
    (3) Tons of Democrats and MSM Lefties have called it the Wuhan Virus.

    This is just Leftists manufacturing reasons to be butt hurt.

    Of course it's racist.
    There is nothing really new about corona.
    10 to 15% of all common cold cases come from a type of corona.
    SARS and MERS are also types of corona.

    And Omar aint no anti Semite for having a negative opinion about Israel.
    That's just calling names to avoid the argument, because you know she's right.

    Your both wrong & even the liberal USA Today agrees your wrong.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/5020771002

    Pretty funny the liberals Like Jim Acosta are now calling it racist after using the exact same term multiple times.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-china-wuhan-coronavirus.amp

    I guess it is only racist if republicans say it.

    Your articles are a failure.
    The virus is called CONVID19.
    CONVID19 is a corona virus.
    MERS is a corona virus.
    SARS is a corona virus.

    10 to 15% of all common colds are caused by a corona virus.


    It's like calling all dogs "Chinese dogs", just because you saw a dog breed in China.

    I like to follow the liberal CNN lead and call it the Wuhan coronavirus.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cn...s/wuhan-coronavirus-china-intl-hnk/index.html

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/v...n_or_chinese_coronavirus_dozens_of_times.html

    Is CNN racist ?

    Not even reading those links. I already have her real image down. She is a brother/wife that cheated on her brother/husband with a married guy that has two kids and paid him big money out of her campaign funds while destroying his marriage. She is disgusting on so many levels.

    Like making them respect international IP laws? China doesn't give 2 shits about law or doing what is right. Their entire goal is world takeover and doing it through theft and human misery is no big deal. They were eliminating people who were trying to share information about the virus. They purposely were withholding evidence to save their ass because they knew they were going to duck over the world. I hope it’s a wake up call and business wisens up and moves out of China. Just wait until they can control the internet because countries allow them to install servers that can spy on anyone just like they do in their own country. China is the ****ing virus. Look at how their tentacles are already effecting how Democrats are speaking? American politicians are protecting Chinas interest over our own. Do you understand how scary that is?

    Most sane people in the world would love to see Israel being erased from the map. We should hold a world referendum on that with all adults getting a vote. That will settle it for all time.

    I hope you don't get called for jury duty with that attitude.
