Here's a fun one people don't think about often: mail is disgusting. People lick the envelopes and then it all gets mixed together with everyone else's mail and handled/sneezed on by postal workers. Don't open it where you eat, and wash your hands after.

This is why it's pointless to kiss Trump's rear end like Cuomo just did. He will STILL be a absolute piece of poo poo. I hope the states understand the Fed is going to let them down completely on this and they need act as independently as possible.

Calling it a chinese virus put people with asian ancestors in risk to suffer the consequence of racism.
It may also enforce the wrong feeling that "the virus is there, not here" that will catch people off guard.

Trump say a lot of moron things every day, but seems decided to double down latelly.

Virus have not nationally, for them we are just humans. We are togueter agaist a common enemy, the virus.

what a missed opportunity to called it the "china syndrome"

which is when a nuclear reactor goes supercritical, melts through the whole planet, and winds up on the other side

see, this would have been clever racism

To me, it's more that it seems fitting. I quit smoking, pull my life out of the gutter, get past a lot of ADHD quirks holding me back. It's the perfect time to get glassed by a loving virus, lol.
oh well

I feel that for sure. My mental health has improved a lot in the last few years, I've lost a bunch of weight, cut way back on drinking, etc. A lot of it has come from keeping myself busy with projects, hobbies, and fun side jobs. Not feeling great with almost all of that going away.

In this particular case, because the CCP is attempting to claim it came from elsewhere, it's not entirely inappropriate to keep mentioning it came from China. Which is, admittedly, not necessarily why Donald Trump is doing it...

When I saw him this weekend he coughed in my face as a joke. He gives no fucks about this. I'm trying to keep people like him from getting sick and dying and it's not something they're taking seriously at all. I had to repeatedly shoot down his idea of cheap travel while his work is in a downturn.

Probably not, actually, unless I were also a nationalist. Or read it as Trump saying only ethnic Chinese carry the virus or something, which doesn't seem to be the case.

Are you aware that there is actual ethnic hostility occuring already and that calling "the Chinese Virus" exacerbates this? That he doesn't need to explicitly say "Chinese carry the virus" for people to infer that intent and act on it?

not that it needs to be said - it doesn't matter where it came from now. the problem is dealing with the reality in front of us, caring for the ill, supporting those harmed by the closures and ensuring that we come out of this OK. not deflecting blame, saying it's not our fault or our problem, or engaging in ridiculously embarrassing overt displays of racism

Don't worry, that poster upthread says they wouldn't be concerned about the racism if they were Chinese in America, so we're covered
