Who cares what it’s called. It “originated” in China.
Stop with this “political correctness” BS.
Dont think it’s going to hurt anyone to call it the “Chinese Flu”.

Well, you seem to be telling people what not to be offended by. That isn't for you to decide.
You are offended when people call dondon a moron. Do I try to tell you not to be offended? No!. It isn't my place.
Covid is just as easy to say as anything else you suggested.
Who cares if it is called Covid?
And besides, it isn't influenza anyways.
Im just saying that epidemics have been named by place of origin a lot historically.
Semi-Recently:
2014 Madagascar plague (only 40 deaths, but still named by place of origin).
2012 MERS - Middle East respiratory Syndrome
2010 Haiti cholera outbreak
2009 West African meningitis
2009 Gujarat Hepatitis outbreak. Gujarat, India
2008 Zimbabwean cholera outbreak
2007 Iraq cholera outbreak
1998 Malaysia Nipah outbreak
1972 London Flu outbreak in United States
1968 HONG KONG FLU (1 million deaths worldwide).
1957 ASIAN FLU (2 million deaths worldwide).
1924 Los Angeles pneumonic plague
1918 - 1920 Spanish Flu
1910 CHINA PLAGUE
Not offended when people call Trump a moron. I’ve said before that he’s not the most verbally eloquent guy out there and might go overboard on the tweeting from time to time. But personally offended, Nope.
Also, the “flu” and covid might be caused by different viruses, but they are essentially the same.

All I'm saying is if some people are offended by the name "China flu" it isn't for you to tell them they aren't. That's all.
That article doesn't say they are essentially the same. It simply states the similarities and differences. Just like cars and trains both have wheels and seats but they aren't essentially the same.
Yesterday, President Trump said he was invoking the Defense Production Act, then turned around and said he wasn't planning to use it. The President should exercise these powers now. We need more ventilators, protective equipment, and critical supplies. We need action, not words.
Doctors and nurses are making their own makeshift face masks today as they risk their lives to care for others. What other finding do you need to see to convince you to use every power you have to expand our supply of essential equipment, Mr. President?
