Trump did much of what the Chinese did and made the outbreak far worse in the US than it might have been. He squandered two months that could have been used to build inventory of personal protection equipment, utterly totally and completely botched the US testing program, and repeatedly lied and downplayed the risks to the American people. Should we call this epidemic the "Trump flu" in the US? It sounds fitting to me.

Actually, calling it “Chinese Virus” is unfair.

A better name is Kung Flu.
Nope! IMO, the real reason you are mimicking Trump and the Trump campaign and the Trump administration and now Trump News is just business as usual. The Trump MO of deflection and blame shifting.

The WH started this disgusting campaign a couple of weeks ago by having Pompeo, and some Republican senators and administration people and Trump himself continually call the virus by various other names meant to nefariously label it, and thus started the drumbeat of blaming and labeling China. All the while ignoring the real threat and failing to act swiftly for the American people.

It is only one of their many efforts to deflect and politicize this public health crisis, and now weaponize it by smearing China instead of using the correct term COVID19. The World Health Organization and genuine leaders actually requested the POTUS cease this disgusting approach, but we all know he and his minions did not. Instead they have ramped up their efforts!

We the people and the entire world be dammed. The Donald needs to look good!

My God! Give it a break. Go do your part / make yourself useful and go grocery shopping for an elderly person who is most susceptible. Otherwise that elderly person will have to go out on their own and if they get it they'll help spread the joy before they become too sick.

Squandered two months???? While you Democrats focused on "Impeach 45" ... since the day he was elected in 2016 and you have the nerve to accuse him of squandering time? pfft

Wake up, get your emotions under control, THINK!, and you'll realize that you are nothing but a left wing useful idiot to the liberal media who is doing the bidding for big money (their own multi-million contract).

I know. and SARS, COVID-19, all came from that country.

I think it is important to note that Chinese people, and Chinese-Americans are victim too. Nobody wants to get sick.

Chinese government, however, what a evil son of a b@tch.

i'm surprised Newsweak published this, it's worth reading.

Isn't it time we in the West had a grown-up conversation about China, beginning with the truth that several layers of the regime—from sanitary inspectors to secret police— are responsible for this nightmare? Isn't this the moment when we need to remind ourselves that China is a deeply unpleasant communist dictatorship, a surveillance society that executes thousands of its own people every year? We all need to examine our attitude to the Beijing regime. For too long, no global leader dared to say a word against it, much less adopt a remotely conditional approach to engaging with the regime. The priorities of globalization have been deemed far too important for human rights to even be considered. This is plain wrong.

The Left screams and shouts about Trump and, indeed, about anybody it perceives as being on the Right. We are all smeared as racists, fascists and homophobes. These days many of us are classed as transphobic, too. But while the Left is happy to pummel us into submission on so many subjects, they barely say a word about China. What about the oppression of Chinese Muslims? What about Tibet? Perhaps Emily Thornberry would do better by attacking President Xi rather than Donald Trump.
