I’m 99% sure it will be remembered as ‘coronavirus’ or ‘covid-19’ as that’s how it’s being referred to by 99% of the sane population. Yeah, I'm sure kids born in 2040 will call it Covid-19..... Lol.

I imagine it will be pretty much be universally remembered as ‘coronavirus’. The formal history books and such like may well refer to it as ‘Covid-19’, as that’s what the formal news reporters are calling it today. Nobody will call it the Chinese flu because very few people are using that term today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I'd not heard anyone calling it Chinese flu until I saw it mentioned on here - kind of catchy (in more ways than one)..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shouldn’t even be an issue between left and right, or of race. It’s a matter of fact. How many normal people are calling it the Chinese flu? Very ducking few.

It’s not the first there has been a global crisis and it won’t be the last. Sad but I suspect true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the duck would it be remembered as ‘the Chinese flu’, when very few people are calling it that? Are you trolling? I honestly can’t think of any other reason as to why you’re so determined to assert that everyone will be calling it the Chinese flu in 20 years’ time. Your posts on this topic are utterly bizarre.

You really seem quite exercised by this. Has someone in the past suggested you look a bit Chinese? Strange because I always imagined you having eyes that were more Japanese in shape and appearance.

China is taking zero responsibility for this and states impacted will engage in referring to it as China Flu as a means to win the narrative against a communist regime. The people of China will begin using such a term as a means to weaken the CCP. This is their Chernobyl. Sanctions are coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just now, DarkFruitsRam7 said: I’m making absolutely zero comment on China’s policy. All I’m saying is it’s weird to insist that it will be remembered as ‘the Chinese flu’ when 99% of the population are referring to it as ‘coronavirus’ or ‘covid-19’. Because that is what the media has been using, which will soon change as states assert their influence due to the antics of the CCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
