G7 ministers spike joint statement on COVID-19 after U.S. demands it be called 'Wuhan virus'

[joaquinmiller]

If you think of it as the Wuhan Virus, maybe you can forget Orange Judas downplaying it for two months. It's just a branding exercise for reality-TV fans.

Is this Reality TV, or is it simply reality for some?

Looks like real life. But that doesn't have anything to do with Trump's branding exercise. He'd push that woman off a cliff if she were between him and a TV camera.

It is just shows how juvenile behavior has affected all levels of the US government. We are a joke in the international arena because of Trump.

Project much? Because you act like a juvenile in politics, leave the real work to somebody else. See how we know how you are?

"It's from China."
- Trump, answering a query.

Right he is.

I don’t care what Trump calls the coronavirus at home. But when you are in the international arena, they could at least try to act like adults and call the virus by it’s scientific name.

Quick, what's the official name of the Ebola virus?

hemorrhagic fever

you mean like the spanish flu or the german measles???

 

[joaquinmiller]

Trump didn't care what it was called while he was pretending there was nothing to it. He called it the 'coronavirus' until March 16, when the number of US deaths approached 100. Then, and only then, did he decide it needed to be called the Wuhan Virus. 50 million lemmings followed suit.

Ebola virus?

No. The Ebola is a river in Africa where it originated.

Why is the Spanish flu still being called the Spanish flu??

Maybe they were enemies of the people - like Jamal Khashoggi.

 

[Fugazi]

I kind of like the idea of calling something from where it came from, and not it's actual name. From now on, instead of calling someone stupid, I'll call them American.

hey dipshit,,
china isnt an ally and its all about how they lied from day one,,,

 

[PoliticalChic]

I knew there was a reason I liked Pompeo. Thank you for having some principle and willingness to call out China in a manner they wouldn't expect. Of course, the rest of the G7 don't want to offend the communists.

We're living in some messed up times when a government can operate like this, destroy lives and economies without even some shame in hearing it named accordingly for it's genesis. Is America the only nation with concern? France, Italy and Germany have lost so many lives, had to spend so much money while their citizens live in fear and THIS is their concern? Not shaming China for their secrecy?

G7 ministers spike joint statement on COVID-19 after U.S. demands it be called 'Wuhan virus'

Any hope of G7 foreign ministers releasing a joint statement on the fight against COVID-19 was killed today after the U.S. insisted the document refer to it as the "Wuhan virus."

As originally reported by Der Spiegel, and according to sources with knowledge of the situation, when U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo insisted the novel coronavirus be referred to by the name of the Chinese city where the outbreak first appeared, ministers from other countries refused to agree.

G7 foreign ministers had planned to meet in Pittsburgh this week to discuss a range of issues. However, the in-person meeting was swapped for a video conference because of the pandemic.

According to one source, bureaucrats from each country had hoped to come up with a joint statement about the pandemic's impact ahead of the meeting.

Those talks did not get very far, and a proposed statement never reached politicians ahead of the teleconference.

During the meeting itself, however, one of the ministers revisited the idea of issuing a joint statement.

Sources say that's when Pompeo said the U.S. wanted to refer to COVID-19 as the "Wuhan virus."

That was a red line for several ministers, and no joint statement was agreed upon or released.

One official from a country involved said Pompeo would not agree to a communique that didn't refer specifically to the "Wuhan virus."

That official said the G7 discussion was brief because it stalled over that issue and never got off the ground.

The official downplayed the real-world impact the dispute might have, or the possibility that the dispute over wording, and the absence of a G7 communique, would have a tangible effect.

Asked why including the term was so important in the global context of the pandemic, Pompeo blamed China for not spreading the word globally fast enough about just how dangerous the virus is.

"Make no mistake about it, everyone in that meeting this morning was very focused on making sure that we not only solve the health crisis associated with the Wuhan virus but also the economic challenges that face the globe as we confront it as well," he said.

Petty bullshit, needlessly demonizing China for something they didn't do.

"demonizing China for something they didn't do"


But they did 'do"



. “CCP knew about the Wuhan Coronavirus for 36 days before allowing media to mention it

It was first brought to their attention as a major concern on one December 16, 2019, when a patient exhibited SARS-like symptoms from a viral infection that was resistant to anti-flu treatments. They sat on that information for 36 days before finally allowing state-run media to report on the disease. It was already being reported outside of Chinese media, which likely prompted the CCP to shift from covering it up completely to merely downplaying it.

This is important to Americans because the first known Chinese Coronavirus case in the United States was reported the same day, January 21.



Their delay allowed over five million people to leave Wuhan and travel throughout China and across the globe.

The lack of reporting on this is repugnant.

Even the World Health Organization, who was made aware of the disease in 2019, played a role in covering it up. They downplayed it and even urged countries to not impose travel restrictions on China. This was done on orders from the CCP which has contributed heavily to the home nations of executives for WHO.

In reality, President Trump is doing a phenomenal job and is the right person to be handling the situation.

The good news for the Chinese Communist Party is that their iron grip over their media allows them to control

Yea we should all bow to China
I bet your knees hurt..

 

[Dogmaphobe]

I had to think of something to show utter contempt for this filth. Do you have any other suggestions? Spitting in his face, even should I get close enough, would be illegal.

When you first got here, I remember thinking you had to be around 15.

I overestimated.

 

[Lysistrata]

The only reason for this idiocy is the determination of the right-wing thugs to get the orange whore reelected. It's part of the right-wing "blame game." When are they going to start trying to crawl out of the sewer?

Comes across more as the G7 leaders being more concerned with offending China then they are at making a united statement informing the public.

You must be a right-winger, given that you fit the right-winger stereotype of substituting name-calling and insults for dealing with the issues and answering the tough questions. This is the first time that I have ever had to come up with this sort of insult for anyone in the Oval Office of either party. Not even nixon. I hope that we could never, ever sink any lower than the current occupant and his sex-queerdo sidekick.

 

[Crepitus]

Petty bullshit, needlessly demonizing China for something they didn't do.

Leave it to bed wetters like you to defend a communist country.

You do of course ignore what the Chi-Coms are doing in Hong Kong and we're not supposed to even wonder if the hyper over reaction to a cold virus might be intentional just so we stop paying attention to the protests and oppression of those people?

Fucking maoist cock sucker.

Leave it to pissant petty little dog dickweeds like pompeo to insist on name calling like a playground bully.
