      my "side?" Good grief, Bill, do you listen to yourself? WHO, CDC, NHS, all scientific bodies call it COVID-19 or novel coronavirus. Those are the names. It's a matter of accuracy.

      I am merely asking you to be more generous to your fellow citizens, to cause them less pain by malicious allegations, to be a more effective advocate for what you believe.

      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.

      But that isn't the real issue. I avoid the name, just as you do. The issue is, what do you say about those who disagree with you? Do you insult them? Do you call them names? Or do you regard them as your equals, people of good will, who merely see the issue differently?

      With specific regard to "Wuhan virus," it was only retroactively declared problematic, having been in wide mainstream media use as recently as late January.pic.twitter.com/1vjq3L493T

      1) Context changes meaning. 2) When the president proactively crosses out a term to call it the "Chinese" virus, I don't give him the benefit of the doubt about his good will.

      If you let Trump's state of mind change your opinion of everything, you're going to be twisting in a lot of breezes. Especially in this case, where that means bending to the propaganda demands of a tyrannical government that literally has a million people in concentration camps.

      I am not bending to the demands of any government. Trump's state of mind didn't change my opinion. I used him as an example. Language does not have tenure. Just because a term once upon a time might not have been hurtful doesn't grant it a lifetime exemption.

      Yes, I agree with that. If a name is INTENDED to cause hurt, it is out of bounds even if it was once tolerated. But what many refuse to see is that baseless, careless and indiscriminate charges of racism are ALSO hurtful to the people who get sprayed by them.

      Fair point But, once someone is aware of the problems with "Chinese virus" or "Kung flu", and continue to use them, they've lost the benefit of the doubt,

      One should not need explaining why "Kung Flu" is bad.

          Agree But, I'll grant a wide berth for people saying dumb things I certainly did And for way too long before I became aware of...of being aware
