While the self-proclaimed Democratic socialist found support from those with like-minded thinking, plenty of Twitter users slammed her take on the issue.

Ocasio-Cortez was not done, however, going on to call out President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans in a follow-up tweet.

What she failed to notice in her rant was quickly pointed out by Twitter users.

Liberal media pundits want you to think referring to the coronavirus as the "Wuhan" or "Chinese" virus is racist.
Here's just a few of the times the liberal media did just that. pic.twitter.com/ss3kV5smSPMarch 12, 2020

It is common practice to name a new disease after a place or population related to its historical significance. A few examples include

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

A couple of things to remember.

1. If you go to shop at any store, you are not only exposing yourself to whatever everyone at that store when you are there has but also to everyone who was there previously and touched surfaces to include food cans, bottles, packages and other containers. Also fresh fruits and vegetables may have been picked up and looked at then set back down by any number of other customers.
2. Fast food service employees are required by health department regulations to wear protective gloves and to change them frequently and this was in place long before COVID19. It was intended originally to prevent potential food poisoning cross contamination.
3. Many fast food locations have now set up where insteas of handing you food through the pickup window they come out and place the food in your back seat thus reducing person to person contact.

They just started that here in Angier, the girl at the order screen asked I wanted it delivered... I just had the set it on the 2nd window ledge for me to pick up... they have a scanner at the outside line for the "tap n pay" cards. I didn't feel putting my large coffee in the back seat would be a good idea for me. I can see where that might be very good for other orders

Should You Eat Fast Food During the Coronavirus? Here’s What the Experts Say

But..... Everyone forgets about air quality and forgets to clean or monitor their airconditioning systems.

I went into a supermarket in a town further up the coast from my location.
The acid smell in the air of the supermarket remind me of aged persons underware.
The air in the supermarket began to burn my eyes. I said to the missus " get what you need and let's get out."

There is a military base not far from the supermarket. I assumed the smell was air-bourne syphillus bacteria.
I've experienced the same acid smell in the air conditioner of some other clinical offices over the years.

I've even said to office staff "I believe the dank acid eye burning smell in your air-conditioning might be syph bacteria."

Someone has to cut through the nice-an-pleasantries an say something for the health of every other person going into the clinic or office....

Great Breibart Conspiracy Theories.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

Great Breibart Conspiracy Theories.

from the article:

With that in mind, the Epoch Times thought it was a bit odd for 21 million Chinese cell phones to abruptly disappear, given that cell phone usage has been increasing constantly in China for years, and phones have been touted as an important tool for containing the coronavirus epidemic:

China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announced on March 19 the number of phone users in each province in February. Compared with the previous announcement, which was released on Dec. 18, 2019, for November 2019 data, both cellphone and landline users dropped dramatically. In the same period the year before, the number of users increased.
The number of cellphone users decreased from 1.600957 billion to 1.579927 billion, a drop of
21.03 million. The number of landline users decreased from 190.83 million to 189.99 million, a drop of 840,000.

In the previous February, the number increased. According to MIIT, the number of cellphone users increased in February 2019 from 1.5591 billion to 1.5835 billion, which is 24.37 million more. The number of landline users increased from 183.477 million to 190.118 million, which is 6.641 million more.
According to China’s National Bureau of Statistics, the country’s population at the end of 2019 was 4.67 million larger than in 2018, reaching 1.40005 billion.

The Epoch Times considered several explanations for the loss of users, such as migrant workers who kept different cell phones for their home and work cities – necessary due to some of China’s regulations on phone service – abandoning the work phone because it was not needed during the quarantine period, or people generally canceling their phone service because they wanted to save money during the hard months.
On the other hand, the government is currently requiring citizens to use their cell phones to generate “health codes” so their movements can be tracked and permission to travel can be restricted to healthy individuals, so as U.S.-based commentator Tang Jiangyuan put it, it is effectively “impossible for a person to cancel his cellphone.”
“Dealing with the government for pensions and social security, buying train tickets, shopping … no matter what people want to do, they are required to use cell phones,” Tang noted.
The New York Times explained just how heavily Chinese authorities are leaning on those cell phones to monitor their population, and not just for coronavirus infections:

The Times’s analysis found that as soon as a user grants the software access to personal data, a piece of the program labeled “reportInfoAndLocationToPolice” sends the person’s location, city name and an identifying code number to a server. The software does not make clear to users its connection to the police. But according to China’s state-run Xinhua news agency and an official police social media account, law enforcement authorities were a crucial partner in the system’s development.
While Chinese internet companies often share data with the government, the process is rarely so direct. In the United States, it would be akin to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention using apps from Amazon and Facebook to track the coronavirus, then quietly sharing user information with the local sheriff’s office.

The system, which relies on a unit of the immense Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba, assigns users a green, yellow, or red “health code” in the style of a traffic light. Predictably, Chinese citizens find the opaque system cryptic and frightening, since the government has not explained exactly how it works.
“In some cities, residents now have to register their phone numbers with an app to take public transportation,” the Times added.

so a breitbart conspiracy?

Assuming the mobile phone article is correct.

What happens if the "citizen" doesn't have their mobile phone for their RFID chip confirmation?
Are those same citizens being placed into containment with all the people who are infected?
Are those citizens being given some other style of immunization in the form of time release pallet RFID placed under their skin?

We live in interesting times....

We live in a military training area. We get 10,20,30, upwards of 50 thousand foreign an local troupes train here every year.

I have serviced the copier at the local area VD clinic.

Back in the day (years ago):
The exact number of worst case STD's I will not state, but I will tell you it covered multiple cities an it was in a range of 1 to 7000 combined figures, for the two week military training exercise. The majority of the STD's come from foriegn troupes who spend their R&R in some of the Asian cities before coming to Australia to attend the annual military joint training exercises.

Tertiary syphillis can be a problem later on in life....

Anyone who believes anything that the Chinese gov't or the Epoch Times say, would be a good mark to sell the Brooklyn Bridge to.
