The President Should Ditch The Term “Chinese Virus” But Not For The Reasons You Think

You might expect a Chinese American to offer an emotional protest, but my objections have little to do with feelings.

We should discontinue referring to SARS-CoV-2 as the “Chinese virus” not because it lacks political correctness, but because doing so is in the best interest of Americans. The term first appeared Mar 16, 2020, before which the President called it the Coronavirus.
