“ The suspect indicated that he stabbed the family because he thought the family was Chinese, and infecting people with coronavirus,”
“The family” here meaning a six year old, a two year old and their father. Two bystanders who tried to intervene were also stabbed before the attacker was subdued.

Crisis brings out the crazy in people. Unfortunately, before this madness is over, there more things like this for a variety of strange reasons.

"Thank you all for being here. And we continue our relentless effort to defeat the Chinese virus. Before I begin, I want to start by announcing that today we are bringing home another American citizen. It was a big thing. Very big. Amer Fakhoury is on his way back to the United States after being imprisoned in Lebanon since September of 2019. He’s battling late-stage cancer. Mr. Fakhoury will now be able to receive the much-needed care and treatment in the United States. We’ve been working very hard to get him freed and he’s finally able to have his entire family at his side."

So what you are saying is that actual facts should be gleaned over for the sake of just in case a nut job does what nut jobs do? Should the President tell the world "yup, Ole Xi is right, China isn't lying nor did it derive from there, it was us all along." And who is so say where this demented man got his info. All media was calling it the Chinese or Wuhan virus just weeks ago. So get out of here with your righteous bs.

It is quite possible to disagree with calling a virus a name that ties to a race of people without condoning China (the country) does.

The President should use the correct term like a professional leader, not sound like Joe Exotic.

Trump playing hardball on China would seem a lot more sincere had he not tweeted things like this like a credulous moron in January.

The president should be calling the virus Covid-19 because that"s the name of the virus. There's no reason to call it by a fake name.

Trump's "self-esteem" and "confidence" know no bounds. He's absolutely clueless about the world outside of himself. Can you imagine how his family feels? He'll throw anyone under the bus to protect and promote himself. Many people have those traits, but those who act on them and refuse to keep themselves in check, are ugly for society.
