ChuckGrassley on Twitter: "I don’t understand why China gets upset bc we refer to the virus that originated there the ”Chinese virus” Spain never got upset when we referred to the Spanish flu in 1918&1919"

  The Spanish flu was not from Spain. It was a racial slur. You need to retire. People are dying and your government is totally incompetent.

  Decent people are upset—that’s why you can’t figure it out.

  Way to try and distract from Trumps obvious incompetence.

  a) Because they're racists, so they're automatically going to refer to a disease by location of origin rather than it's designated actual name, and b) They're trying to deflect from Trump's shutting down the pandemic response team being directly responsible for the spread

  Better to call the Coronavirus the, "Whatta we do Flu." China didn't know. Italy didn't know. We didn't know. It's the "Whatta we do Flu."

  We refer to it as COVID-19, not Chinese Virus. Only xenophobs and racists do that.
