So we took its name from the nation/people/scientists who actually named it and didn't know any better. Didn't make up an informal xenophobic name for it after the fact, when science knows better.

News flash: we are way better at disease science than we were even a decade ago. Assuming the government supports such research, of course.


Go watch the Maher video I posted higher up on the page because he just rips your point a new fricking a-hole.

Trump's Tweet also called it the "Chinese virus," so one could argue the xenophobia


Jesus christ, yall are ridiculous.

You believe things are racist and xenophobic because you subscribe to a very shitty hive mind thats based on emotion.

1. Where did you get those numbers.
2. How many of those deaths were truly Covid related as opposed to a lingering issue that would have eventually made the lethal move on the affected individuals?

Cause if Bill Maher says it, it must be true.

Catching it immediately before he even has symptoms and considering he'll get literally the best medical care in the world, I'd say he's going to be just fine.

If Covid took 10 years from your grandmother's life, wouldn't you consider that a big deal? The co-morbidity argument in most cases is ridiculous, many of these people would have survived another 10-15 years had they not contracted Covid. Yet people get upset that they are being ruled Covid deaths. It's a very shortsighted thought process. There are several co-morbidities that people live with for decades.

You mean like right wingers and Q?

You can't even see past your own nose. You say the same shite you accuse "the other side" of saying, but you can't even realize it because you're so far up your own arse. Get out of your box and try relating to people who are different than you. Hell, that's half of why I stick around on this far-right jungle.

He makes a pretty concise argument on why this virus should be named something to do with China saying that they can’t be allowed to get away with this and carry on with them as business as usual.

Your argument:



Real good argument. :rollseye:

Do you not remember when Boris Johnson was in intensive care for a week and everyone thought he was going to die? That was like 3 months ago, he had access to top notch care to and he still nearly died. Like Trump he was overweight and unhealthy too but unlike Trump he is only 56.
