@kevcvs57 saidThe name of the virus is SARS-CoV2
Yeah but your telling outright lies again though earl.
So can you provide a link explaining when Covid 19 was designated the ‘chIna virus’ or are you going to retract the lie and admit that your man is a racist pig.
go look up SARS and get your surprise answer
How do I politely say, "Kev, you're full of bogwanna". I can't so, Kev you are just full of it.

@earl-of-trumps saidMust be overflow from yourself earl you’ll be claiming next that “Wuhan Flu” is the official ‘WHO’ designation for covid 19. But the reality is that not one serious health official has referred to it as the “China Virus” we had to wait for a race baiting POTUS for that gem.

But do carry on peddling the ‘Trumps a victim of an MSM character assassination’ nonsense if it helps.
@kevcvs57 saidI’m not hand washing anything.
No the British sent Scots to Australia along with a lot of Irish and oh yeah and a lot of English. Britain was created by a Scottish King as was the Union Jack.
Nice try at deflection and hand washing though shav.
You can’t seriously sit there and suggest it wasn’t the English government and English land owners and pro-English land owners that were sending Scots to Australia.
And you can’t seriously suggest that workcamp labour isn’t slave labour.

@shavixmir saidBritain did not exist as a political entity until the Stuart’s pushed their agenda down the throats of all four nations. Of course the majority of offending landowners were English because the majority of landowners were English because the majority of people on this island were English.

The Scots were never enslaved by the English or anyone else because the Scots were far to busy being slave owners.
Being transported to the colonies was part and parcel of the penal system, albeit an obviously cynical move to populate the colonise stolen far flung territories rather than a justifiable punishment. What it wasn’t was the English in any way enslaving the Scots.
@earl-of-trumps saidTypical right-wing ploy. Take a social issue, like a virus that people in the US are known to be blaming Asians for, and perpetrating hate crimes against out of fear and ignorance, and place the issue in a petri dish for study in an isolated thought experiment without regard to the greater context.
So go back to it and show me where I am wrong. Until you "prove" otherwise:
What I posted was truthful and cogent. Many many viruses are named for
the geographical location where the breakout occurred.
Look at the Marburg virus. It originated in Africa and was brought to Marburg,
Germany in monkeys to be used in lab tests. The virus jumped to humans there
an ...[text shortened]... name has "California" in it, a name designated by WHO.
So, kev, should Californians cry "racism"?
Saying "the coronavirus" takes no more effort than saying "the Wuhan virus" or "the China virus." But right-wingers love them some "China virus." Why? Because they're especially well-versed in the nuances and historical precedents of virological nomenclature? Yeah, that must be it. No other possible explanation.
A new and deadly virus could pop up anywhere. It's impossible to prevent an outbreak indefinitely. What matters is how a nation reacts to an outbreak. Blaming the Chinese for the novel coronavirus is like blaming Timbuktu for dust storms.
Fun fact: the Spanish flu is now thought by some researchers to have originated in Kansas.
@soothfast saidAnd newspapers in Spain, a neutral nation in 1918, were under no obligation not to report effects of the deadly epidemic, soon to be named, incorrectly, after their country.

so true. so what's to worry about? a few whackos?
I'm pretty sure that no matter the name, the whackos will blame China anyway
