"Chinese Virus." Offended?

YBO · Mar 19, 2020

With the POTUS using the word Chinese virus instead of bat virus, does it offend you that President Trump used that word?

hossblur · Mar 19, 2020

Its honest.

It exposes the media yet agsin for what they are.

treedagain · Mar 19, 2020

I am offended China chose to minimize and lie about the Virus that they allowed to spread across the world.
Another left wing Democrat way of slamming Trump.
Let's all protect China from bad publicity? Screw them and the pig they?

I think "Chinese virus" is racist. It discriminates unfairly against the other cultures that eat bats and snakes.

mta5672 · Mar 19, 2020

I like the term "Kung Flu"....People need to get thicker skin!

Stonefly · Mar 19, 2020

Ppeople dont need thicker skin, they need to stop attacking with hate,, useing phrases like, racist, to lable people they dissagree with.they need to STOP creating ways to cast imaginary, nonexsitant blame. And Stop accusing the people they disagree with of everything, every lable they can all promoting their agenda. Long story short, they need to STFU.

1989Cohunter · Mar 19, 2020

Where did it start again? Oh yeah China.

DH56 · Mar 19, 2020

Too many media darlings stirring the pot for their own agenda. They need to get back to reporting the facts and news accordingly. This agenda using racism, guns etc.... to get clicks on their news at their sites is BS.

Bluehair · Mar 20, 2020

Don't forget that China is always there to ship us all the fentanyl we need. They're our pals.

roadrunner · Mar 20, 2020

Being Chinese IS NOT a race. It is a nationality. Being from China vs being from Thailand and saying they are two different races makes as much sense as saying someone from Australia is a different race than someone from Norway.

Seems like since this is a much more interactive global society we live in, certain people need to quite eating things that have historically proven to cause mass illness, China...

At a time when wealthy athletes and others are donating large sums of money to help fight the spread of COVID-19, one of the richest humans on Earth; Michael Bloomberg; decides to donate $18m to the DNC. What a guy. And to think he actually ran for president. That pretty much says it all about the democratic party. Case closed.

Homer · Mar 22, 2020

what wealthy athletes??

Bluehair · Mar 22, 2020

They donated large sums of money to have themselves tested.

Cali4x4 · Mar 22, 2020

There was some donations to stadium employees.

hossblur · Mar 22, 2020

Saw jj watt donated $350k

That dude seems to be the real deal. First Harvey. Now this.

And give Bezos credit. I dislike his politics. But he's gonna save a lot of folks by hiring so many

Homer · Mar 22, 2020

jj donated to what?

Mrs jj's trust fund for the under paid?

...and Bezo's is hiring for charity??...lmmfao

hossblur · Mar 22, 2020

Careful with the Mrs jj . You'd be wrong

And bezos could pay minimum wage. He'll be about only game in town.

Not offended one bit China is a bunch of pigs. They need to clean up the way they live their cities and habits are disgusting. Their government supports this dirty lifestyle. While the US has the best standards there is. It’s time China owns up to it.

NeMont · Mar 23, 2020

History refers to the 1918 pandemic as the Spanish Flu. Wonder if the Spanish were offended by that for 102 years?
Seems even countries need a safe space now days.

roadrunner · Mar 23, 2020

Spanish flu because it hit Spain the hardest on infection and deaths. Not enough real documentation to trace its origin to the orient (China) but likely it was.

fullthrottle · Mar 23, 2020

Chinc, gook, slant eye virus. That would be racist. Chinese virus is in no way racism. I’m so tired of being labeled racist. If you are a white, American, male, you are no doubt racist. I refuse to accept that.

1918 influenza: The deadliest pandemic in history

Facts about the Spanish flu.

www.livescience.com

The Spanish flu remains the most deadly flu pandemic to date by a long shot, having killed an estimated 1% to 3% of the world's population.

The most recent comparable flu pandemic occurred in 2009 to 2010, after a new form of the H1N1 influenza strain appeared. The disease was named the "swine flu" because the virus that causes it is similar to one found in pigs (not because the virus came from pigs).

The swine flu caused respiratory illnesses that killed an estimated 151,700-575,400 people worldwide in the first year, according to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control. That was about 0.001% to 0.007% of the world's population, so this pandemic was much less impactful than the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. About 80% of the deaths caused by swine flu occurred in people younger than 65, which was unusual. Typically, 70% to 90% of deaths caused by seasonal influenza are in people older than 65.

A vaccine for the influenza strain that causes swine flu is now included in annual flu vaccines. People still die from the flu every year, but the numbers are far lower, on average, compared to those for the swine flu or Spanish flu pandemics. Annual epidemics of seasonal flu result in about 3 million to 5 million cases of severe illness and about 290,000 to 650,000 deaths, according to the World Health Organization.

I do not remember the same "choas" in 2009 - 2010 for H1N1. Life was normal and had no idea is was even a "real threat"...

wetmule · Mar 23, 2020

About 12,000 more U.S. ChinaWuhanvirus deaths and we will have caught up to the damage H1N1did. Does anyone remember the govt. destroying the economy and businesses back then?

eelgrass · Mar 23, 2020

I do not remember that wetmule, and I was awake back then too. I remember hearing about H1N1 but nobody told me to stay home and buy butt wipe.

Hmmm - I don't remember it either Eel. I do remember around that time the affordable care act getting jammed through as the most important issue of the day. Never let a crises go to waist seems to be the mantra of the left.

They are proving that with all the Green New Deal garbage they're trying to piggyback on the "bailout" package. Disgusting.

Its a damn virus, how in the hell can you be racist to a virus? Toughen up a little....And, yeah, I hate the virus so its perfectly ok to speak with hate when I talk about it. Rememnber it is inanimate and doesnt have sensitive feelings, its ok to poke a little fun. Like I said, get thicker skin big guy!

Stonefly · Mar 24, 2020

MYA, you need to reread my post . I think we are on the same side, when it comes to " lung pow sicken". As for me needing thicker skin, ask those who know me, my skin is perty thick. I might be pretty opinionated, I might even show some dislike for some in my posts, but I do understand, this is a place, that some folks become 10' tall, and bullet proof. Im not that guy. Ok big guy, lol
