We should definitely call it the 'Chinese Virus'.
It is a Virus.
It came from China.
It is the Chinese Virus.
And as the Chinese have themselves maintained “Chinese” is not a race but a nationality, like “American.” And of course in the phrase “Chinese virus,” the word “Chinese” is an adjective modifying the noun “virus.”
The new coronavirus could spread far beyond China’s borders, possibly infecting more than 60 percent of the world population.
Are China’s official reports, including claims that its control efforts are succeeding and the epidemic will soon peak, credible? Omens look bad. Once praised by the World Health Organization (WHO) and scientists worldwide for its quick, transparent response to the newly named COVID-19, China now faces international vilification and potential domestic unrest as it blunders through continued cover-ups, lies, and repression that have already failed to stop the virus and may well be fanning the flames of its spread.

The bottom line is trust, which appears to be waning inside China and is increasingly unraveling across the public health world. An epidemic cannot be fought and won unless the bonds of trust between governments and people can survive the grief, confusions, emotions, and medical challenges of the battle. The Chinese government, in its negligence, has jeopardized those bonds, perhaps beyond all repair.
The Chinese Government must be penalized both by its own citizens and by other countries as well.
China is now a modern country. Its high time the Chinese upgraded their government to a better model.
Meanwhile the biased and China bought Media Are Embarrassing Themselves Over Trump’s Use Of ‘Chinese Virus.’ Its ranks are populated by biased hacks who don’t care half as much about reporting accurately on the Wuhan coronavirus as they care about making Trump seem like a racist.
