If you weren't a devote Trump hater that puts emotion before logic you'd realize that "kung flu" is a joke, you what a joke is, right? Trump's persistence in keeping to call it the Chinese Virus after COVID-19 was named was due to the fact he wanted to hold China accountable for their actions because from day 1 there was a theory that not only was it discovered in Wuhan, China, but it may have gotten out of their genetic engineering lab that just happened to be working on Novel Coronavirus at the time.
So not only did China initially hide the virus from the world, but they allowed it to spread by not telling us it existed until it was too late. I'm not sure how you feel about China and their forced slave labor, re-education camps, child abuse and neglect and cyber warfare, but I for one am no fan of their Government, which is who runs the show over there. Actually, as soon as China got caught hiding the virus they started campaigns to deflect guilt to other people including publishing in their local news papers and airing on TV that the US Army had started the pandemic in Wuhan.
Simply put, the Chinese government
can go get fucked and if calling it the "Chinese Virus", which mostly everyone did until China started to interfere keeps the focus on China, which is where it should be. We're now seeing that Biden has taken interest in the origins of COVID and all fingers point back to Wuhan, which is funny because when Trump was interested in the same theory he was a bad racist stupid White man, but now that the Liberals choice has the same theory there's nothing wrong with it.
As for the virus and its origins, there's a thread on this forum where you can discuss stuff as this thread isn't supposed to be about that.
"Three Wuhan lab researchers were hospitalized in November 2019"

All in all it really all boils down to having the Trump Derangement Syndrome. You and others hate the man and have been fooled by the crooked media into believing all sorts of nasty rumors, conspiracy theories and lies about him and Conservatives in general. Luckily, the BBC isn't as bad as ABC, NBC, CBS and/or CNN. Actually, the BBC holds itself to a pretty high standard that I've never seen them break so unless you know something I don't about them, which is all possible because you (possibly?) live over there.
To end, I really think the left needs to stop calling things "racist" because they dislike them. It really makes that word that should be used in extreme cases go in one ear and fly out the other. Crying wolf all of the time is not productive. Never has been, never will be.

The BBC is a news syndication, just like ABC, CBS, FOX or CNN. When I referred to papers I am referring to online news papers as printed papers are becoming a thing of the past. However, if you have access to local printed material I'm pretty sure if you look back at what they wrote about the virus before it was named COVID-19 that you'll find similar verbage to the BBC. Unfortunately, I don't have access to any British news papers, but you know that already and are just trying to save face as opposed to admitting you were wrong and moving on. That's also a character flaw ... not being able to admit you're wrong.
