It has a scientific name.
Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), you have an issue with this too or is it just because Trump is president?

I don't; my issue is you and your ilk sound uneducated. Whatever pleases you, I suppose.

I have no problem with anyone calling it either Wuhan Virus or Chinese Coronavirus. I think it’s more important - and strategic - than ever to make sure people know this came from disgusting, unhygienic people in a third world communist country eating bats and bushmeat. Maybe our business leaders will take notice and move production to a less politically hostile, less backwards country. Pound it home - Chinese Coronavirus. There’s no way anyone is using that term besides strategically. I’ve been to that filthy country and it doesn’t surprise me.

The time scale will likely be different because of herd immunity. You get it faster if you let the virus run rampant, killing lots of people and overwhelming the healthcare system. There is immunity, and there is also a possibility of reinfection, but that is a really tiny percentage of the population.

Take a look at this video if you're still confused

I follow construction projects for Las Vegas on SkyscraperCity.com and I've been cheering the completion of Resorts World and the restart of construction on Big Blue. Now I"m worried that with this downturn, construction will be halted once again. And I see that Adelson is also restarting construction on a tower he started during the Great Recession and let's hope it gets finished, rather than stalled once again.

Las Vegas, as a gambling city, has always taken big risks to capitalize on big rewards. That's it's Achilles Heel.

Your ilk, you educated people all use the same lame terms. Its the China Flu, pal. Your ilk appear quite anti America. What pleases me is finally having a President that stands up for America and Americans, I suppose.
