          DO - talk about the new #coronavirus disease (#COVID19) DON'T - attach locations or ethnicity to the disease, this is not a “Wuhan Virus”, “Chinese Virus” or “Asian Virus”. The official name for the disease was deliberately chosen to avoid stigmatization http://bit.ly/32HZe0q pic.twitter.com/belHrq5HVo

          DO - talk about people “acquiring” or “contracting” #COVID19 DON'T - talk about people “transmitting COVID-19” “infecting others” or “spreading the virus” as it implies intentional transmission & assigns blame http://bit.ly/32HZe0q  #coronaviruspic.twitter.com/RLfFIvrlo5

          DO - speak accurately about the risk from #COVID19, based on scientific data and latest official health advice. DON'T - repeat or share unconfirmed rumours & avoid using hyperbolic language designed to generate fear like “plague” or “apocalypse.” #coronaviruspic.twitter.com/zOO2Sw8y5f

          All of our industries are not on American soil. They're in China!!! So, we piss these guys off, we lose money. I think this was the right decision to make by not calling it The Chinese virus

          So we give China more power so they will be nice to us? That’s as ridiculous as people claiming we need to be nice to terrorist organizations so they won’t harm people.
