Taiwan premier says COVID-19 should be called 'Wuhan pneumonia'

When asked for his take on communist China's insistence on not using the place name "Wuhan" when describing the COVID-19 pandemic, Premier Su Tseng-chang said the correct name is "Wuhan pneumonia" since that was its factual origin.
During an interpellation session of the Legislative Yuan on Tuesday (March 31), Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Tsai Yi-yu sought Su's opinion on communist China's policy of not allowing "Wuhan" to be used in descriptions of COVID-10 and other attempts to salvage its image amidst the global catastrophe. Su responded by saying the coronavirus outbreak started in Wuhan, China, and therefore it should be called "Wuhan pneumonia," and that demanding the world to change the name shows that China lacks confidence in itself, reported Liberty Times.
Tsai said that China is seeking to whitewash its gross mismanagement of the coronavirus epidemic by claiming that terms such as "Wuhan coronavirus" and "Wuhan virus" are racist, while having World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom praise China's every move. Tsai pointed out that Tedros even lauded the communist country as having "bought the world time."
Su agreed with Tsai's assessment and said that it was a fact that the disease started in Wuhan, so the world has given it the name Wuhan pneumonia. He noted that many major infectious diseases take their names from their place of origin, such as German measles, Japanese encephalitis, and Hong Kong foot (Taiwanese Mandarin term for athlete's foot), but because China does not have any confidence in itself, it behaves in this way.

Pneumonia is extremely prevalent with this disease, which is what makes it so deadly. I think it’s an accurate name.

What does the fricking name matter?
Seriously yes China sucks and fricked this up but naming the fricking disease after them isn’t going to fix shite.
This is the fricking bullshite that’s wrong with the world today. We get hung up on stupid shite like this instead of fixing the fricking issue.

Because people should remember who gave us this scourge. Everyone should know and never forget that it was the Chicoms who gave the world this shite. And those bat eating frickers should be hated and resented for it forever.
And we aren’t “fixing” anything. It’s a virus. It’s out there. It’s not going away and we can’t stop it or make it better. All we can do is manage it. So quit acting like a fricking child and saying “fix it”. It’s not your broken toy, it’s a deadly disease we will never get rid of that was created by a bunch of nasty, disgusting, bat eating, communists who deserve all the derision the world can heap on them.

because China strong-armed the WHO into telling everyone that it ought to be called COVID-19, chiding everyone who didn't do so, so that blame could be deflected. Everyone
They also strong armed the WHO to stay out of Taiwan in any sort of humanitarian role. watching the head of the WHO dodge questions about Taiwan is very amusing.

When all is said and done, just as Communist China must be held to account for willfully causing this global pandemic, the WHO likewise needs to answer for their role in helping China cover those crimes up.
