Via Ace:
The newest Media Moral Panic which erupted on Twitter yesterday now infects another press conference:
President Trump asked again why he uses the phrase “Chinese Virus”:

Meanwhile, Twitter — allegedly an American company which once declared itself to be “from the free speech wing of the free speech party” — is busily censoring user posts to appease their Chinese friends and investors.
Amazing that @twitter is now censoring tweets that include references to the place of origin of the virus. pic.twitter.com/oKxdOUFHsn

Why call it the Chinese flu? Gee, I don’t know, maybe because China covered up the existence of the virus for critical weeks — critical weeks in which infected Chinese nationals or travelers to China went all over the world like Johnny Appleseeds of the the plague.

Chinese laboratories identified a mystery virus as a highly infectious new pathogen by late December last year, but they were ordered to stop tests, destroy samples and suppress the news, a Chinese media outlet has revealed.A regional health official in Wuhan, centre of the outbreak, demanded the destruction of the lab samples that established the cause of unexplained viral pneumonia on January 1. China did not acknowledge there was human-to-human transmission until more than three weeks later.
The detailed revelations by Caixin Global, a respected independent publication, provide the clearest evidence yet of the scale of the cover-up in the crucial early weeks when the opportunity was lost to control the outbreak.
Censors have been rapidly deleting the report from the Chinese internet.
And the alleged “American” media are eagerly helping them suppress this news.
Why?
Who’s paying them?
I’m not kidding: There will be hearings about foreign collusion, and specific reporters taking money for planted stories.
Let’s end on a heartwarming note:
Walked over to my Chinese neighbor's house this morning and told her that no matter what Trump says I do not blame her for the virus and she's always welcome in our country. She was speechless. Anyway turns out she's Japanese but if I do this enough I'll eventually get it right.

Quick, Steven Gutkowski — speech patrol this guy for his racism!!!
See author page
Jeremy McLellan: I guess they all look alike, huh?
Liberals: ” Don’t call it “Wuhan” or “Chinese” virus! That might hurt someone’s sensitive feelings. I know… let’s call it “Trump virus”! Just because we’re assholes!”
RAID! out the back door quick, its the PC swat team.
Woops, meant to put this in Most Wanted but already commented on and linked so I’ll keep it up on page.
In the space of time between when China knew a coronavirus was human-to-human transmissible and the time the rest of the world learned (from China) this fact, two things happened.
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese traveled back to China for their Chinese New Year then back to places like Italy AND Italy began an anti-racism campaign called, “Hug a Chinese Person.”
People were shamed into hugging Chinese people on the streets, in the malls and on mass transit.
Now look at Italy.
Almost seems to have been engineered to happen this way.
Disease could have begun in China in November, a month before they admitted it started
the alleged journalist/activist is and will continue to be clueless. a virus is not racist. Trump tagged the virus from its origin. Joseph Goebbels would be very proud of the alleged american mainstream media. it is inciting panic in this country. this is not the first rodeo of virus issues to hit the world and it will not be the last. China is now balking on the new trade agreement with the virus as a linchpin for negotiations on parts of the new trade agreement. the major issue that the press is not noting is the petrol war between the US, Russia and Saudi Arabia. this will be the second big financial crisis this year. in that academic world, when a dissertation is submitted, all references cited need to have a bibliograpic
support. references are checked as to accuracy and timeliness in the body of the dissertation. in activist -journalism no sources are note, annomonious sources are considered relevent even though false or fake, so the validity of the current media is useless. .
There are all kinds of names that should get past the twits at Twitter. People are pretty imaginative.
I’m kind of leaning towards honoring their president for his heroic efforts in combating the virus by naming it after him:
Winnie Xi Flu.
Actually, I kinda like “Kung Flu”
@Petercat: I like it, another 100 deaths https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6ktmU3nl5I
@Bookdoc: Kung Flu Easy to remember and it makes libs heads explode.
Let’s see how Target reacts to this degenerate…. if at all.
What have YOU done, fat ass?
Once again, another entity I can’t boycott because I haven’t gone there since their genderless restroom policy.
@Deplorable Me: Our beautiful first lady has a campaign encouraging children to be and do their best.
She hasn’t ruined anyones lunch.
Aluminum cookware its trash, in less than 5 years it will be in a landfill, thats her legacy? Chrissy Teigen pfft. My bet is she doesnt use that garbage at home to cook in. Teflon non-stick cooking surface, teflon? Everyone is using ceramic, Imported yes made in China and Indonesia.
The nonstick coating used in DuPonts Teflon® pans has been found to release one or more of 15 different toxic gases when heated to certain temperatures dont sear anything in it ever.
Inhaling these fumes may lead to polymer fume fever, also known as the Teflon flu.
@Deplorable Me: I tried to contact Target via their chat service, just to tell them I’ll no longer use their stores until Chrissy is fired, and her products removed.
The chat shutdown and they said they are too busy…not surprised.
recall that when the gay, muslin terrorist pres was in office? he and his entire staff refused to acknowledge acts of terrorism. recall that when h lectured at universities the American flag was covered. Black Rifle Coffee company has a very interesting coffee cup.”Fu+++ your sensitivity” good $16 investment. Trump is telling Americans and the world that America is not a pussy as portrayed by obama, clinton and the dnc.
target-never shopped there like dick’s, the ceo of dick’s is a dick.
@kitt:
italy is suffering a considerable loss but why? there is a trade agreement titled the BRT that exists between italy and china. this is an agreement to stimulate china’s products into italy and distribution into western Europe. The pact allowed a circular flux of hundreds of chinese workers into italy and back again. like the soldiers in the trenches of WWI all infected. historical note: Spanish flue 1918 began in 1/’18, the war did not end until 11/18. virologist estimate that in the trenches of WWI the virus made 2 mutations. so, about 1.5 million soldiers, most of them infected, when home to Europe, UK and US. no surprise when followed.
