  1. Spanish flu,
  2. west nile virus,
  3. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS),
  4. Ebola virus,
  5. hantavirus,
  6. rocky mountain virus
  7. zika virus

were all named after the origin of the virus

why is it racists to call the coronavirus a Chinese virus or a wuhan virus? why should China get a pass? 

Since a virus doesn’t have a nationality, let’s call them by their scientific identification......oh wait......that would require an educated populace . Silly me. The wet markets are a terrifying place to walk through. Bill is absolutely correct, the Chinese government could end the markets tomorrow like they ended the Tiananmen Square uprising.

 

 

Social justice warriors would rather die than call it the virus from the original source.

 

Notice that there is no West Nile virus 2.0 or 3.0.  but it's instead we have SARS 2.0 and in a few years we will have SARS 3.0

Calling it a Chinese virus is life and death for the Chinese living overseas. This is more than just political correctness.

It's about safety. 

Koreans, Japanese & Vietnamese lives will be in danger because for the average Canadian or American can't tell east asian apart.

Mr. bill Maher doesn't understand that you are hurting Asian-Americans, not the Chinese in the Wuhan animal wet markets.

It's not civilized to use the place name. If you're a scientist and found AIDS in San Francisco, will you call it Bay Area Sex Disease?

  7. zika viru

all these virus that was mention were all named after the place of origin. 

Aids started from Africa from sexual encounter with a human and a monkey.
