    yes people think that.. but the truth is.. it' is a chinese virus.. becuase it came from China. 

    But you can't go around screaming that **** everywhere. 

  • No because there’s Japanese cars. That’s not racist

    No, not at all. We call it the Chinese virus, because it came from China.

    Some do because some people think everything is racist.  But most do not think it's racist.  They think it's accurate since it originated in China.

    Only the Chinese themselves think it's racist. And even if is racist, that is the biggest double standards of all time considering the Chinese literally persecute against Africans. Bunch of bastards!

    No.  It originated in China.  It's far more fair than calling the 1918 H1N1 pandemic the "Spanish Flu" despite the fact that it absolutely did not originate there and Spain actually had it fairly mild compared to alot of other countries.

    I don't see why. I mean they called that other flu strain in 1918 - 1920  the Spanish flu. Why can't we just call this the Chinese flu? That's where it originated from after all. 

    Source(s): That Spanish flu was far more lethal than this one, yet they didn't wear masks, close everything down, or have a vaccine. It just burnt itself out in 2 years.
