President Trump SUED for Saying ‘China Virus’, ‘Kung Flu’ While He Was in Office
Former President Donald Trump is reportedly being sued for his repeated use of “China virus” — among other phrases — in reference to COVID-19 while he was still in office.
Anti-China rhetoric: Blaming China for “unleashing” the coronavirus, Trump routinely used terms such as “Chinese virus,” “Wuhan virus” and “Kung Flu” during his term, arguing that it is “not racist” to refer to the pathogen’s geographic origin.
Trump accused China of withholding vital information about the coronavirus, a claim corroborated by U.S. intelligence reports of officials in Wuhan keeping the threat under wraps for weeks.
Li Wenliang, the Chinese doctor regarded as the “Wuhan whistleblower” -- and who subsequently died from COVID-19 himself -- was summoned to a police station for “spreading rumors online” and was forced to admit “illegal behavior.”
The virus came from China so I don't care who attaches that name, or Wuhan, to anything virus related. And don't even TRY to tell me that's why black guys are beating up old Asian people.

Not only that I believe now people are beating up South Africans, Brazilians, Brits and Indians because of the South African, Brazilian, UK and Indian strains. Probably because of those dog whistles.
Dr. Fauci told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Monday night: "It is certainly not the dominant strain [in the U.S.] but if it becomes dominant, the experience of our colleagues in South Africa indicates that even if you've been infected with the original virus, that there is a very high rate of re-infection to the point where previous infection does not seem to protect you against re-infection, at least with the South African variant."
My St Bernard hasn't heard the whistle yet though.
Snowflakes are very, very sensitive to words. Don't they consider words the same as physical violence?
Yes, but silence is violence too.
