Ask Obama why SARS is called SARS
Isn't THAT racist too, libtards?
"The technical name of the virus that causes COVID-19 is severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, abbreviated as SARS-CoV-2." Dictionary.com
Saw this in a news story earlier this morning. So this is a SARS as well as a Corona Virus Disease (CoViD). The "-19" is from the year of discovery, 2019.

They get paid for asking crap like that.
Actually yes. And I don't think its really a bad question. Its being referred to as Coronavirus or Covid-19 for the most part so when the President of the US refers to it as "The Chinese Virus", I don't have a problem with someone in the media asking him why.
Obviously it came from China and it seems pretty obvious, but you never know so that's why questions are asked.

She said Chinese people in the USA are experience hatred and racism. Some may but my wife is Chinese and she has not experienced the first bit of racism over this.

The best was the SJW reporter who asked about someone referring to it as the Kung Flu. The crazy bastard got her to repeat the term 3 times before saying he didn't care.

Do you know for sure it was a "SJW reporter"? There are conservative news outlets and liberal news outlets (although I don't consider any news outlet that leans one way or the other "the real news") and there are conservative and liberal reports. Also there are reporters who are neither. They just try to do their job and report as fairly as possible (although both sides like to make people think the media favors the other side, in reality not all media is trying to push a certain ideology on people).

They want to hear that your wife was chased from the grocery store by an angry racist mob.

Of course not it's a nationality but don't tell the MSM that. They are using it to call Trump a racist.

: "This is a virus that came from the territory of China but came from bats. This is a bat virus, not a China virus. It doesn't speak Chinese. It doesn't target Chinese people. It targets human beings who happen to touch their eyes, nose or mouth."

This reads like a Dr. Seuss riddle... that is if Dr. Seuss was a bumbling moron like you.

I gotcha. I never heard of her before, but I didn't know if it was just some random reporter that everyone was immediately calling a "SJW".
Either way, whether she is liberal or conservative, I don't have a problem with that question. He might of had a specific reason why he referred to it as Chinese Virus. It's not the worst question that could be asked.

With everything going on, you think that is a good question to ask?
