Your a Bernie Supporter no?? I lean toward Biden a little more but I sure as fuck don't like to see Bernie getting taken out of context either and I defended him the same way, crazy right?

Not especially, no. Over Biden, yeah, but I’m not a Bernie Bro at all. My avatar, Satanist for Bernie, is a joke.
Again - you’re comparing apples to orange and acting like they’re the same thing. Downplaying Trump’s bullshit and calling the reaction to it as “taken out of context” is, again, ridiculous.

No I'm comparing the same exact things, both guys are about as opposite as it gets and I defend them both for the same exact reason because it's Bullshit.

Bernie being “taken out of context” is literally taking his words and playing them out of context. Trump being “taken out of context” is taking Trump literally. Huge difference.
The former is wrong. The latter should be completely right, because he’s the leader of the free world.

We already have two names that identify the virus: Covid-19 and coronavirus. The ONLY reason Trump is calling this by the country origin is to villainize China and deflect blame from himself. It's as obvious as can be. Nobody named it "Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever" to create a political shield for themselves.

Serious question...
Blame for what?

Are you really this far out of the loop? How bout you explain how Trump is doing a bang up job on this. Using the words "hoax" and "pandemic response team". Get to work.

So, with the exception of:

Also known as “camel flu,” MERS was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and all cases are linked to those who traveled to the Middle Eastern peninsula.

Those are names that are at least 44 years old. I am surprised you left out Beaver Fever (just for the annoying lulz). Which is a parasite, not a virus. (Don't drink from that beautiful clear mountain stream, folks. Unless you have a LIfeStraw.)

And even MERS wasn't called the Saudi Arabian Flu. I wonder why that was. If this flu was called the East Asian flu, the comparison would be more valid.

And the Spanish Flu....it was called that because Spain was the only country to not try to hide the numbers of dead and sick. So, because the only info that was getting out was from Spain, it got stuck with the name, unjustly. Though, according to one credible hypothesis, it came from a pig farm in Kansas.

[VinnieVincentsVag]

I have suffered from “Beaver Fever” most of my adult life.
It should not be taken lightly.

Probiotics will cure ya...maybe quinine with your gin. Or nitazoxanide, more likely.

Or did you mean the kind that requires the little blue pill?

World Health Organization officials warned against calling COVID-19 the "Chinese virus" as President Donald Trump has done, saying that it could unintentionally lead to racial profiling.

"Viruses know no borders and they don't care about your ethnicity, the color of your skin or how much money you have in the bank. So it's really important we be careful in the language we use lest it lead to the profiling of individuals associated with the virus," Dr. Mike Ryan, the executive director of WHO's emergencies program, said at a news conference Wednesday when asked about Trump's comments inciting violence against Asians.

[TenBenny]

Jesus, are we really nitpicking this? Non-White House officials and knowledgeable people within the medical and scientific communities are calling this coronavirus or COVID-19. The people that call it "Chinese Virus" or "Wuhan Flu" are tossing out racist dog whistles. It's that simple. There's no grey area here.

Everybody wants their piece of the victim pie.

"Chinese" refers to a country, not an ethnicity. No one in their right mind believes that Chinese Americans had anything to do with creating the virus.

Okay, so... why the sudden pivot to "Chinese Virus," when no one was calling it that?

The gymnastics that Trumpers do to avoid the obvious: He's fucking racist.

Except all those people in the media that called it china virus, wuhan virus etc all the way back in....February, but how about calling him racist for the actual racist shit He's said?? Is that really a Trumpster thing now? I mean shit theres the central park five and the way he treated blacks in his properties, Actual concrete shit. Seriously i asked a simple question earlier and was met with "TRUMPANZEE CHEERLEADER DERP!!!!" Why were those terms OK just a month ago but all of the sudden over the last 3 days it's become straight up Xenophobic? I believe someone earlier excused it by saying, "It hadn't gotten here yet" Is it really that simple??

*Chinese* refers to the ethnicity of people with origins from the *country* of China. How hard is this for people to understand?

And obviously people *do* think Chinese-Americans have some part in this pandemic since I keep seeing stories about Asian-Americans being insulted or physically assaulted in the US.

That's actually a fair point, Chinese has a different ring to it than China or Wuhan.

[Turner Coates]

Just wait. When Trump is condemned for delayed action and soft selling of this crisis, the mantra will be, "Don't blame me, it's China's fault. LOCK 'EM UP!"

[Chip Z'Hoy]

They're racist too. I know the illusion is there's this Trump vs. Media thing but it's pro wrestling. Trump would've never been elected without them. He also wouldn't have been elected had he not made a big production about "fake news." Like with everything Trump, it's a scam.

Has he been MORE racist? Sure.

[NearlyNormal]

He’s been driving home the “Chinese virus” tweets and I'm enjoying seeing people lose their shit because it's "racist".
Elizabeth Warren replied to one of his tweets and blurred out the word Chinese. What a fuckin dork!

In Feb 4 WHO director general said "Don't spread fear and stigma with travel bans". How did that work out?

Why would you "enjoy" that? What did your parents do to you that made you like this?

[NearlyNormal]

Questions:

I'm enjoying seeing people lose their shit

Why would you "enjoy" that?

Because the people making boring and useless semantics arguments are the same dumb checkmarks who consistently have bad takes on everything and are completely obsessed with identity.

Can you not even agree that the supposed offense and outrage over calling this the Wuhan or China Virus is fucking absurd? Especially after three+ years of hearing about Russian Trolls, Russian Meddling, Russian Assets, etc.? Only now is it that geography is "problematic"?

Why are our Trumptards incapable of coherent sentences?

Cellphones make typos once in a while and sometimes people miss them. Spelling and grammar Nazi in the house?
