You were apparently raised right. It makes no sense to support an adult in a position of power and authority speaking and behaving in ways we would not accept if it were a 10 year old.
No, it doesn't hell anyone at all, but those people do not care. They'll support "trolling the libs" as Trump and his ilk lead the country right down the toilet.
November cannot come quickly enough.
My father and mother did their best. I've never heard either of my parents call it "China virus" or Kung flu".
I never thought I would see the day we would have a President who had the mentality of a 13 year-old bully. It never occurred to me that we could be that far down a rabbit hole. Even sadder, we have individuals who co-sign such behavior. Being hateful and being a troll is how some people are, and calling this disease "China virus" or "kung flu" is a product of that.
So why is Trump in denial rather than "kung-flu fighting"???? Seems he is too much of a coward to actually do anything about it. Wishing upon a star and blaming the messenger of bad news, doesnt do diddly. But wait, maybe his bone spurs are acting up....... that excuse worked before to avoid public service. This time I think they formed on inside of his skull.
Why? Surely, Trump and family members have been in great health all their lives, therefore, can't relate to serious public health threats. How do you know his bone spurs were for real?
I hear calling a virus from China that is similar to the flu the "China Flu" is the best way to get feeble minded individuals on the left to screech "REEEEE!"
"That review suggests that the most likely site of origin was Haskell County, Kansas, an isolated and sparsely populated county in the southwest corner of the state, in January 1918 [1]. If this hypothesis is correct, it has public policy implications."
No, only Taiwanese uses that term.
People in mainland China or Hong Kong don't use that term.
I'm American and I call it Covid-19. That is the proper and scientific term for it. I don't see any good reason in calling it "kung flu". All I see is immaturity and hatred in referring to it as "kung flu".

is it 'hateful' or trollish to refer to the H3N2 influenza as the Hong Kong Flu?

COVID19 is not a flu virus but we could call it CHARS. China Acute Respiratory Syndrome. In fact the original one should be renamed that as well so we would have CHARS1 from 2003 and CHARS2 from 2019/2020.
Care to offer a prediction when CHARS3 will strike? or CHARS4?

I agree. It's natural for Trump to blame China, but he should not be so childish.
However he seemed to be a fan of name calling in the past anyway.
