I thought we werent supposed to be associating these viruses and stuff with regions? Yet when this new super spreadable strain comes out everyone in the media is just casually calling it the UK strain and no one is batting an eye.

Yet when people were calling it the _____ Virus when it first came out...because thats where the first cases where knownm everyone was flipping their shit that it was racist.

With the backlash of calling it the _____ virus at the beginning. why didnt they come up with a more officail name than the 'UK strain'? Something like Covid19-meleon strain or Covid19-zard strain or whatever bs.

No

People including media and politicians were simply calling it the W**** virus non-maliciously yet for some reason people began acting like that was racist.

People only started using Chinese virus more maliciously after there was all that censorship regarding what to call it

"We weren't being racist until you called us racist!" isn't a great defense.

Because the west is crumbling civilization with no balls. China unleashed a virus that wrecked the world, took no responsibility for it, but rather lobbied to change the name because muh raycism and blame it on the west. And it worked. Lack of spine is why you will continue to lose to China.
