"It is Chinese Virus," Trump insists

President Trump at one of the press briefings along with other members of the team against Coronavirus.
The argument over the name to call the virus currently riveting and endangering the world and humanity continues on Wednesday in Washington, when President Donald Trump in answer to a reporter's question during a press conference insists that it is 'Chinese Virus'.
The reporter asked if the president was not worried about the racism connotation of his calling the virus Chinese Virus, the president retorted that if anyone could claim wrongly that the virus emanated from United States Army, better call it Chinese Virus because It emanated from China and not from the U.S. Army.
The female reporter's question would have gained traction and the reporter viewed as courageous, in continuation of an allegation that has trended before her question in which a section of the media has been accusing the president of racism for reliably calling the virus Chinese Virus.
The president's answer ended the reporter's foray and possibly that of the section of the media that has gone after the president with the useless racism tag. Of course, the president's naming of the virus with a tag of the name of its source is a reaction to propaganda by China that the virus was planted in China by the U.S.Army, causing a shift in the story about the cause of the virus said to have emanated in Wuhan seafood suburb in China's Hubei province, causing China to quarantine the entire province to stall the spread of the virus.
The virus killed over 3000 people in China alone before its foray in other countries that are now struggling to contain and stall the spread of the virus. Italy has unfortunately lost about 3000 in a duel with China in term of loss to the virus. The virus has upended the world's economic progress as it threatens to abort financial markets around the world.
Almost everyone is saying this is a type of pandemic the world has never witnessed before, making people to consider survival as the first choice before any other factor. Arguably, the Chinese government has not told the world the cause of the virus and how it managed to quarantine the Hubei province to keep other parts of China safe. Rather than talk to the world and cooperate with world to stop the virus, it has chosen to expel news reporters from three major news organization in the U.S., creating a suspicion it has something to hide.
Observers think that if calling the virus Chinese Virus successfully gained traction, China may decide to open up to tell the world the source and cause of the virus and that it has nothing to do with its emergence as a biological weapon that may have been accidentally or mistakenly discharged without any intent to hurt the world. Though, the virus is now hurting the world beyond China.
