TravelingChris Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 My use of Wuhan virus is traditionally based- ie. viruses are normally named after place of origin or identification of the virus- Lyme Disease, Ebola, etc, etc. I think anyone who is bullying anyone because of the virus coming from China is a total a hole. The only ones who should have our complete scorn is the Chinese Communist Party who, at the very least, neglected to be forthcoming with the emergence and with its lethality, etc until it had spread everywhere. As to bullying, I also was a victim of it as a youngster- wearing glasses (four eyes which is about as dumb a slur as one can say since actually we only have two eyes and they are less capable because of myopia and astigmatism ((in my case)) ), having an older mother with grey hair, and then having Polish ancestry. 1 1
Laura Corin Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 The virus and the resultant illness both have official names that are internationally recognised. I don't think it's helpful to make up other names for them. 5 18
