Trump is so focused on not being blamed for Covid-19. I think this change in messaging is very ominous. Im afraid they will purposely scapegoat the Chinese people. Speak out against this vile xenophobia. We cannot let this happen.

(182,947 posts)6. This explains what I heard on talk radio yesterday
"COVID 19, Coronavirus, the Wuhan flu....whatever they are calling it now"
