    China  spread the virus  throughout Europe  first  then  they started  on  other continents  and since it came  from China it is the China  virus

    Trump calls it China virus instead of Chinese virus because it is a cryptic reference to Chinaman, a racist term. It is only slightly less offensive than the N word for blacks. People who are not racists call it Covid-19. It has nothing to do with where the virus came from. It is just an attempt to shift blame and to please the white supremacist base in the Gee Old Pee.

    1st of all, it's not the USA. It's just the cuckroaches in the USA. The Majority if US citizens don't call it that or ANY variation there of and find such designations an embarrassment. It's like that stupid poly-substance abusing relative who won't shut up and drop dead where nobody will find him/her until well after it's too late. 

    Unfortunately, no. They will never stop calling it that, because doing so will mean they will have to admit ti being wrong. It will also mean they're one step closer to admitting they're in the state they are in due to their own short comings. Just like any other junky, everyone else must suffer for their failures.

    only idiots call it "china-virus"

    To answer the question: probably not. The spanish flu is still called Spanish flu, regardless of the evidence that it started in Kansas

    Probably not; as those calling it the China / Chinese virus are generally pretty ignorant.

    Covid-19 is a biological weapon developed at Fort Detrick in Maryland.  Its release in Wuhan was an attempt by the Trump administration to destroy the economy of China.  It should be remembered as Trump flu.

    Still originated in China and until Trump called it the China flu. The left, the media were already doing so. It was when he used it that all of a sudden we can't use origination location in the name.

    I haven't seen or heard of this, but understand the euro-version is a mutation of higher severity.

    It should stop the US, but I doubt it will stop Trump and his trumpards...
