What would you expect?
Domino effect of bigotry and racist Trump.
Here we go again. Everything is racist. The virus really came from Wuhan, China. So there's nothing wrong in calling it Chinese or Wuhan virus. In the same way that we call the virus that came from the Ebola river, "Ebola virus", the flu that came from Spain, was called "Spanish flu". The new strains of Covid 19 are called "UK variant", "South Africa variant", "Brazil variant", because the variant came from those places. Liberals are always defending China and Chinese sensibilities. They will burn the U.S. flag or disrespect the U.S. national anthem, but they kowtow to China's every whim. Go figure.
You can name the virus even with yourself as SOPHOCIES VIRUS, or even to me ESPERASAVE VIRUS or much more as DONALD TRUMP VIRUS but we must STOP VIOLENCE TO ANYONE and most importantly nowadays to ASIAN AMERICANS. We ASIAN AMERICANS are the most respectful, peace loving and honest people in America and we also deserve to be treated as such. The other day, it was a major news all over in the US that a woman walking in the street, an ASIAN AMERICAN was almost killed when she was kicked in broad day light for all people to see in New York City but happened to be a senior citizen Filipina who is unnamed so far by the Press. I, myself has been serving my community through out the US in fighting the virus being an RN. I was brought in last year to New York City to help out until it zeroed out then came back to Los Angeles, my home base. Asian Americans like Filipinos are mostly Nurses, Doctors and other medical related professionals who were battling as frontliners to serve our community with outmost respect and dignity to all. And yet, we deserve those respect back to us. It is just unfortunate that this virus was spreading all over the world but we need each other's arm, we need each other's back, we need each other's own self to battle this virus. So courtesy, civility, appreciations and regard to each one another are all we need across the board to wrestle with the VIRUS and the pandemic.
