    By golly it’s got to be challenging to be liberal leaning during these trying times.  I have been Calling it the Wuhan Virus since the beginning of this Pandemic for the reasons a few of you mentioned above that has nothing to do w/ being a Racist.  It has everything to do w/ being a REALIST which the PC police love to scream Racist every chance they get.  
    I wonder what kind of a Bumpy Ride the PC police give you?

    Are you denying people are using it in a racist manner? 


    i have never seen it not used in a racist manner. 

    i have only seen it used by trump supporters, and we all are very clear on their idealogy.
    I don’t think this is entirely true at all. I think it a large % if trump supporters, but I think there are plenty of other that say it and have no racism involved. And unless you didn’t hear Bill Maher’s show, you aren’t being truthful

    But the general term used the world over is "covid19", but you just have to use another name for it...

    This is going to be a big thing and I hear the same thing from these people and it's "you'll have a lawsuit".

    I am actually surprised that there hasn't been a lawsuit yet.

    Have there been any lawsuits for no shirt, no shoes, no service?  Seriously, I don't know but it would be very similar I would think.

    You have to use that line very carefully though.  You can't discriminate and use that term.

    a lawsuit would get laughed out of court. this woman is clearly lying about her "health condition". She even name checked HIPAA, which has absolutely nothing to so with this situation.

    global pandemic, stay at home order, social distancing safety orders in place to protect everyone, and this woman wants to go buy some underwear or something. the stupid burns.

    I think this sums it up nicely. So many people I know think they are so special and smarter than the rest of us because they do not follow "fake news" or believe in the Covid 19 hype.

    Interesting. I always call it coronavirus or covid-19, but I see nothing wrong with it being called Wuhan virus.  I see that people may choose to use that in a racist manner, but it’s just a description of where it came from.

    I certainly didn’t think Bill Maher (whom I dislike much of the time) was being or is racist

    "If those trials go well, a vaccine could become available for widespread use by the end of this year or early 2021, Dr. Tal Zaks, Moderna’s chief medical officer, said in an interview. How many doses might be ready is not clear, but Dr. Zaks said, “We’re doing our best to make it as many millions as possible.”

    That would be incredible if true by the end of this year. We need some good news finally from this virus.

    I have nothing beyond my gut for this...but Wuhan doesn't bother me, for the most part (kind of because I heard "Coronavirus" for weeks/months before "Wuhan."). However, "China/Chinese" virus really does because it seems like an attempt to (at best) deflect the spotlight from our own (i.e., Trump's) missteps or (at worst) vilify Chinese people, leading toward crimes against SE Asians. "Wuhan" doesn't seem to bring that out of people like "China" does.

    Anders Tegnell addressed his mentor's play at today's press conference.
    - You can discuss with Johan if he believes that is to be taking responsibility, he says.

    Way to go, dipshits.

    US lockdown protests may have spread virus widely, cellphone data suggests

    Cellphone location data suggests that demonstrators at anti-lockdown protests – some of which have been connected with Covid-19 cases – are often traveling hundreds of miles to events, returning to all parts of their states, and even crossing into neighboring ones.



    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    Nothing has happened yet, though. And that's a terrible headline because there's nothing in the article to suggest that there was any spread. They're just saying people traveled to/from long distances in some cases. This will be an interesting thing to look at in a month or two when you can actually trace whether an outbreak occurred from this or nothing happened at all.
