Sorry, but COVID-19 stands for COrona VIrus Disease of 2019. EDIT: might be VIral Disease...
The World Health Organization was the originator of the term to facilitate discussion for stopping the virus.
I have no problem with the President or anyone else calling it a “Chinese virus” in conversation because where something originates is often used to describe that item, and obviously we all know what he’s talking about. Let’s not be making up lies/excuses to account for it when the truth works just fine to counter the media’s bullshit.
Very dangerous to call it a "Chinese Virus" it is not about the great people of China or their culture. It has been called a "CHINA VIRUS" in reference to the country of origin. Please stop spreading manipulated false virtue rhetoric or rewriting a narrative to suit your agenda. There is nothing dangerous about making up ACRONYM's...this isn't Berkley English 201.
