re: PSA to the OT: Describing Covid-19 as a "Chinese Virus" is no longer okay.

That makes sense, but I can't seem to verify that.
What I did find:

In COVID-19, 'CO' stands for 'corona,' 'VI' for 'virus,' and 'D' for disease
ETA: Hope you are doing okay these days, elprez00! Haven't seen you in a while. Taking a break from Facebook.

Where do we stand on WuFlu?

Well, as an American citizen and since I'm not under the auspices of an executive order as I'm not an employee of an executive branch department, I'll call it the Chinese Virus if I so choose.
Glad this is what government is focused on at this time.

not to use racist descriptors like "Chinese virus"
China is a country, not a race, so calling it the China virus is unable to be racist.

Can’t say I blame you. I don’t post much anymore, and I’ve purged a lot of people just really family. I can’t take that much stupid.

My company has been known to sniff out social media posts. We really don't put anything on facebook beyond baby pictures anymore. I don't really tweet anymore either.
We are moving back to Louisiana next year BTW. Looking forward to leaving Chicago winters behind us.

China is not a race. It’s a country.

Sick and tired of this bullshite already. Uncle Dementia seems to be intentionally sabotaging the country just to erase all evidence of OMB.

I'm going to miss some of Trump's tweets. He'd always attach a little controversy to the first sentence fragment (call out someone specifically, use a term that pisses off the PC crowd, etc. if he really wanted the media to spread it, he'd misspell a word), then drop a truth bomb in the second verse, then follow up with something kind of goofy - often in the form of a question.
Some of the most "controversial" ones qualify as Haiku.
