    Something I've seen in Korean news emphasize but not in white news outlets is how "coronavirus" is not exactly the right term to use but specifically it should be refered to as "a new strain of the coronavirus" as the common cold is also a coronavirus.

        I also think this is because there's no real Official Name™️for it, so everyone's just using the term "coronavirus" atm

        actually the CDC uses 2019-nCoV to describe this strain

        YEP. We get patients with them constantly. I personally use "coronavirus" because the only alternative is "Chinese coronavirus" or "Wuhan coronavirus" and both racialize it.

        Omg yeah the sinophobic term that's used colloquially in Korean is "wuhan pnumonia" which is more popular than "new strain corona"
