CNN commentator Chris Cuomo admonished President Trump for repeatedly calling the coronavirus "the Chinese virus."
“Calling it the Chinese virus or the Wuhan virus or the Kung Flu. Listen, you may think it's clever, but it's hurting,” Cuomo said on his nightly show on Wednesday. “The idea, ‘Well, it did come from China.’ Then why doesn't Fauci and other top health officials, why don’t they call it that? You know why? Because it could have come from anywhere.”
The virus, which has sparked a global pandemic, is believed to have originated in an animal market in Wuhan, China.
Trump has said he uses the phrase "Chinese virus" for accuracy purposes.

Okay, since it could have come from anywhere, let's call it the Cuomo virus.

It is very telling how angry and defensive the Democrats get when it comes to China

Kung flu...I vote for that one. What do these liberals do when they get home at night? They probably buy hand lotion by the gallon and just wring their hands till they get tired and go to sleep.

This could have been started in any country that allows filthy and disgusting live animal markets which allow human to animal virus transfer. If the shoe fits...

And there are already articles out there about Wuhan lab employees who (against the rules) slip out infected lab animals to the market and sell them for extra money. Call a spade a spade! I despise the MSM!

Yup, it could've come from anywhere, but it didn't; it came from China, thus the name, Fredo. Frankly, I think we should call it The ChiComm Virus for complete accuracy.

Unless I'm mistaken, Trump doesn't call it the Chinese virus. He calls it the China virus. There's a difference. Not that it should matter.

THIS is what the media is investing their reputations in? These people must enjoy looking like idiots. At the moment, Trump OWNS the public stage in dealin with this emergency. They MUST give it to him. He is appearing presidential and is surrounded by experts and people who appreciate the competent way he is dealing with the Chinese virus, even dem governors. Meanwhile some reporters are completing to be the dumbest on air and in follow up "analysis".
They also choose to air panicked doctors posting on social media their concerns about the lack of supplies and slowness of tests. You have to wonder if these doctors are talking to people who can actually work with them to resolve the problem or just whining about it? The government already KNOWS these shortages and problems exist and production has ramped up significantly. Given a couple weeks, sufficient supplies will be available. The positive turnaround is largely due to targeted government actions and cutting of red tape, all the right things to do.
No, we weren't completely ready for a pandemic. I would venture that no one is ever fully prepared for the worst events life has to offer. You always have to play catch up when they happen. The reality is, it would be impossible to be prepared for all possible bad events. The efforts and costs to be ready for things that may never happen in our lifetime are prohibitive. We do the best we can.
Meanwhile, we are all trying to keep the Chinese virus in abeyance by staying at home as much as possible and practicing high levels of sanitation. Right now, that's the best we can do.

Do they really think people are so stupid they don't know where this disease (and most other nasty flu-like diseases) came from? China is one of the most overcrowded, polluted and filthy countries in the world. Hygiene is an alien concept to them. I've been there and know of what I speak.

Chris Cuomo and that Lemon on CNN are the most useless talking heads on TV. I only read about what they say because I can't watch them without getting a headache. They do not seem bright enough to give the news accurately. All they do is try to destroy Pres. Trump who is waaaay smarter than either one of them.

The only way to find a bigger fool than Chris Cuomo is to look under the rock he crawled out from and find another democrat. These are sick, pathetic sub humans. Even in times of crisis they can't control their hatred. Got it.

Sorry Chris...Chinese virus is accurate and very clear. You are the 'hater' for calling it anything different and trying to attribute that to someone else. true being clear and accurate which is what news is supposed to be.
Estimates haveen all over the chart, but the delay of information by the Chinese Govt has cost many lives Worldwide, and the Economic hardship Worldwide that has resulted from their reluctance to be forthright (whatever their reasons) is staggering. In the end, this will also cost lives and seriously affect a significant swath of people on the entire planet.
But, continue.....you miserable hack...to make this an issue you can use to attack someone or something you don't like. I have no use for you. If there is a God... and I believe there is...he/she/it is watching YOU! So you got that goin for you, which is nice.

While Americans are self-isolating and turning our economic future upside down to prevent widespread outbreak of this disease, Fredo Cuomo and his ilk are arguing about its name.
Yep, that's it.

Just as Chris Cuomo is of Italian origin because his ancestors came from Italy, the Chinese corona virus is of Chinese origin because it was created and came from China. Neither of those two designated labels are of racist intent because they are completely factual.

Have long thought the political/dems are very wrong on issues. Now, I also know they are stupid, as Cuomo so expertly demonstrated.

I think we need to drop the Chinese or not Chinese virus subject. Go slap each other around and leave the rest of us out of it.

The idiot Fredo thinks the louder he yells the more truthful his rants. ONLY a filthy, corrupt, propaganda for sale sewer like CNN would pay this jerk to scream at a camera and call it news.

Sorry, Fredo! Wuhan Flu doesn't care about political correctness or hurt feelings. The virus originated in China, not anywhere else. And whining about semantics won't change that!!
