I'm pretty sure all of this started from that area. If it stopped elsewhere and reincarnated itself then imo the birth place of it is still the name and the blame.

If you said COVID-19 or coronavirus, that's the specificity understood by pretty much the entire human population. It's even shorter to write.

No thanks. Not really shorter. Besides, everyone knows what it means. In fact, it was predominantly called the Chinese or Wuhan virus before being switched over to Corona and COVID. But to each their own.

"Not really shorter."

Uh, it's shorter. Really. All it takes is the kindergarten skill of counting to verify. But since you'll dispute counts, it's clear you'll dispute anything, factual or otherwise.

Ain't nobody got time for that. (I'm out).

Ery'body on earth no what dem dere shorter werds meen.

Kung Flu is similar in length. Maybe you like that better? But word length is a dumb argument. I’ll stick to the facts that the Kung Flu, Chinese Wuhan, COVID virus, is a statistical joke. But you’re already gone and won’t see this. Dang I just waisted these 30 seconds. Unless God forbid you came back to time my typing and it was more or less.

Moving this part of the thread to OT. One covid thread on our main board is more than enough.
