1. I am announcing that I, along with 3 of my senior staff, are officially under self-quarantine after sustained contact at CPAC with a person who has since been hospitalized with the Wuhan Virus. My office will be closed for the week.

Hope you’re okay, but perhaps while you’re quarantined, you will realize how astoundingly xenophobic it is to call it the Wuhan Virus.
West Nile Virus
Zika Virus
Ebola Virus
German Measels
Spanish Flu
Marburg Virus
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Norovirus
Stockholm Syndrome
Lyme Disease
Wuhan Virus
All named after places

How? It’s a city. Just like Ebola is named after a river and EVERY OTHER major virus is named after its origin point. Get a flipping grip.
Omg...are you serious? The virus began in Wuhan and there are many different types of Coronavirus. Since we began hearing about it in December, many have referred to it as the Wuhan Coronavirus. This rhetoric of calling EVERYTHING racist is dividing our country and is very petty!

Please explain your xenophobia. Where did this virus originate from? Boston. No. NYC. No. It originated in Wuhan China. Where do you think swine flu originated from? How about Lyme Disease. We don't call it Deer Tick Sickness.
