Taiwan either calls the virus "the Wuhan Pneumonia" or "the chinese virus"

They are not being racist , they call it that because of the virus's origin.

Our president has said he has seen evidence it was a lab leak and he plans to release a detailed report proving it was a lab leak.
Once/if the report and evidence it was a lab leak is released, I think a more appropriate name would be "the wuhan lab virus" . Do you think we will rename it once the virus is proven to be a lab leak?

Remember, the only people who have an issue calling this virus what it really is are those who stand something to lose on the global stage. Watch out for special interests, which are held mainly by those on the left.


Follow this closely. For those who do their homework, this will not be hard to see.


This post will be lost within 15 minutes, but its truth will stand forever.

"China Virus" is way too broad. China is a large country, after all. And if we call this one the China Virus, what do we call the next virus to emanate from the People's Republic? Go with "Wuhan Virus" (or "Pneumonia").
