I think the priority should be to be more generous to the citizens who are vulnerable to the racism that this use of the name engenders, whether your poll-takers intend that or not. Given the option of using a name that won't cause harm, it is a statement to consciously avoid it.
My point is simply that there are broader stakes here, and the origins of the abrupt, general media/commentator volte-face on "Wuhan virus" can't be meaningfully discussed without the role of CCP propaganda demands.

I'm willing to include that in the discussion. But for me, it doesn't override the immediate concern of the safety and well-being of the people who stand to be hurt by the term today.
