China Coronavirus

[RadioGAAGAA]

So why is it ok to stigmatise Spanish people? That flu of 1918 also started in China. This notion that labelling something Chinese is automatically racist is absurd. Pure snowflakism.

Was it not TexasKansas?

Did it not originate in China? How is calling it the China Coronavirus racist?

I don't know. We must all be racist bastards for using the term "Spanish flu" a million times since the years beginning.

Spanish flu didn't originate in Spain. This Coronavirus more than likely originated in China but it could've started in any country so there's no need to stigmatise China because there's enough racists out there and they don't need encouragement.

The 1918 flu is most widely suspected to have originated in the US.

Happened when everyone headed home after the war, so could have happened in any country but it's the Spanish flu!

Many reports suggested that it started in China. Whether it did or not, the Chinese were a major factor in spreading it. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/1/140123-spanish-flu-1918-china-origins-pandemic-science-health/

The first recorded case was in Kansas, USA. However it is possible it could have started in other parts of the world with China one of the possibilities but definitely not Spain. It is called the Spanish Flu because the Spanish media were the first to report it in their newspapers.
A neutral county after the First World War it wasn't bound by the Western powers of not reporting any bad news stories on its front pages in the aftermath of the war.

Thanks for the history lesson JC. I don't need, and didn't ask, for it, but cheers nonetheless.

Trump has stopped calling it the Chinese virus!

I see the wet markets were up and running again.

Some say that in Asia they trust the wet markets rather than the supermarket!

Why are free staters so thin-skinned about being called free staters?
