But multiple diseases have "started" in China, no one names diseases like that anymore, and they weren't always accurate anyway.

Trump probably didn't know the scientific term for it. That's why.

This.

People like to pull the "WELL OTHER DISEASES ARE NAMED AFTER THE AREA THEY COME FROM" outta their ass while ignoring all context. He calls it the China Virus solely to deflect blame.

I mean, the most famous example from Trump apologists is the Spanish Flu, which famously did not originate in Spain.

So to keep thinks consistent with tradition, we should name it after any place except China.

Its wild that people assume their own opinion or view is 100% exactly the truth and theres no chance at all that they could even be the slightest bit wrong.

its no different that any of the other 800 things named by the place they came from

Why can't this be applied to you and your opinion?

It is different, but that doesn't mean he should stop. Certainly not when the Chinese government is actively and successfully pushing the conspiracy theory that the US military created the virus and let it loose in Wuhan. We are sitting here actively pushing as hard as we can to not say where it came from while China is literally rewriting history and they're going to get away with it if we don't at least allow ourselves this small conceit.

we have asian-americans receiving surges in hate crimes and racist attacks. perhaps there is a better way to raise awareness to the mishandling/censorship of the chinese government and how terrible wet markets are than calling it the chinese flu

ya know...like providing factual statements rather than crossing out coronavirus and writing china virus on his notes like Trump did

100% of remotely intelligent people know that he's doing it intentionally, and for bad reasons.

You've got a president who has no interest whatsoever in factual statements, supported by voters who are sick and tired of facts getting in the way of their opinions.

Do you think only Americans are reacting negatively towards chinese/asian people over corona?

They're not, but it's hard to twist that into an argument that Trump doesn't need to do anything differently.
