1. Calling it "the Chinese virus" is racist — it already has a name.
2. Bill's larger point is right. https://twitter.com/billmaher/status/1248814741893476352
3. Wet markers should be banned
4. Cultural practices should be challenged & criticized (and banned when dangerous)
5. Names are powerful, esp in the hands of a racist president. Virus already had 2 official names (Coronavirus, Covid-19) before Trump called it “the China virus.”
