I don't see that this time. I think he is using it to place blame this time which is warranted. It doesn't change my opinion of him.

And he is putting the blame on them to remove any from himself. Its fine to have no problem with China being blamed but we both know he doesn't care at all about whether China did anything wrong.

I think he does care this time because it has probably sealed his fate as president. I do completely blame him for bungling the response.

Look I'm not American but for me I was angered that the CCP is blaming the American military. We know they already weren't honest and suppressed their doctors attempting to warn folks. So I understand gloves are off @ this point.

Honestly, I never heard that claim until he said it.
 
If you want to call it CCP Virus for the Chinese governments' mistakes, fine. But your average person of Chinese ethnicity should not pay for the mistakes of a certain few people. All that calling it Chinese Virus will do is cause more xenophobia and put blame and hate in and on people who don't deserve it. And, if you want to play that game, the swine flu came from America and mad cow disease from the UK. Who knows where by whom the next will pandemic occur.

Trump was worried about vaping

Inside the White House, Trump’s advisers struggled to get him to take the virus seriously, according to multiple officials with knowledge of meetings among those advisers and with the president.

Azar couldn’t get through to Trump to speak with him about the virus until Jan. 18, according to two senior administration officials. When he reached Trump by phone, the president interjected to ask about vaping and when flavored vaping products would be back on the market, the senior administration officials said.

Political correctness has gone too far. This is why they refer to liberals as snowflakes. Quit being offended so easily by something someone says.

This isn't about being offended. This is about doing the smart thing. There are already Americans being harassed for being of Chinese descent, calling it the Chinese Virus can only make this worse also put peoples safety at risk and that isn't helpful to anyone. You know how easy it is to rile up the hate in some people. We need to focus on getting through this and how to prepare for an even worse one in the future. Playing the blame game isn't helpful.

If you want to get into the weeds of political correctness, calling it 'Chinese Virus' is political correctness used as a weapon to place blame and create a narrative. This is the type of political correctness that is used by countries like North Korea.

You would have the same problem in any country. It is a Chinese virus. It was caused from the nasty s**t they eat. They will have to own this one. If you are American of Chinese heritage you better have some thick skin.
 
Rand Paul tested positive. He used the senate gym and pool likely after he got the results back.

It is bulls***, I had to defend my son's girlfriend because she is Vietnamese but to these f***ers, she is Chinese and carrying the virus. You don't see the picture here?

15 days is nuts. I'm no expert on the virus but I've seen reports it can take 2 weeks to even begin to show symptoms.

Anyone who thinks this is going to pass in 2 weeks is living in a fairy tale land.

I don't get it. Saying nationwide 100% lockdown then everyone that's high risk goes back to normal life?

He knows the economy will be bad and he will lose because of it. Conservatives are pushing some nonsense about the cure being worse than the curve.

I see the picture but it would be the same in any non Asian country. They will need to have some thick skin until this all blows over.
