This is the damndest thing....  Trump supporters making fun of Biden's mental status.    Seriously.  

MERS killed 866 people worldwide. Again, basic math.   Btw, in an entire year, the flu kills 3,500 - 15,500 in the US. They suspect some cases aren't identified and so they estimate up to 61

Well China flu was often attached to a specific race of people and stereotypes like king flu. Variants are just variants based on region of the world 

China is a region. Chinese is a race. Your explanation shows your ignorance. 

King flu? FFS, at least get the slang correct.

The virus has a name. It’s COVID-19. It’s very well known. It isn’t the “China Virus” or the “Wuhan Flu”.
 

The fact that it started in China isn’t a reason to name it based on China. Only assholes who want to attack China for nationalistic or racist reasons call it that. That aside, the Spanish Influenza didn’t even start in Spain. 

 

As for variants, they are popping up all over the world. They at least make sense to regionalize based on where they are discovered. It’s easier for laymen to understand the difference between the California variant or South Africa variant or UK variant than it is to call it B.1427/429 or B.1.351 or B.1.1.7. People don’t remember that shit.

Calling it that diverts attention away from the inept way it was handled by individual 1.  That's it.  Period.
