President Biden signed four executive orders intended to combat racism, including an order that directed government agencies to find and remove any offensive references to the coronavirus.
Biden’s order calls on government agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services, to determine whether or not xenophobic references are found in public guidelines or policies and to immediately remove those references, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The Biden executive order is expected to “examine whether there are xenophobic references like ‘China virus’ in any existing policies, directives or government websites published by the Trump administration,” CBS News reported.
“During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, inflammatory and xenophobic rhetoric has put Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) persons, families, communities, and businesses at risk,” the order reads. “The Federal Government must recognize that it has played a role in furthering these xenophobic sentiments through the actions of political leaders, including references to the COVID-19 pandemic by the geographic location of its origin. Such statements have stoked unfounded fears and perpetuated stigma about Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and have contributed to increasing rates of bullying, harassment, and hate crimes against AAPI persons.”

Will the executive order make the virus any less Chinese?
Here alte kaker Joe, I say it loud and clear China virus China virus.
Wow. That’s a true leader. Mr. Biden has his priorities straight. All those lying in a hospital bed attached to a ventilator, can rest comfortably tonight knowing that President Biden changed the terminology of their illness. True leadership. Doesn’t get better than that.
Tomorrow, I will order an African-American coffee. Can’t say black. It’s hate speech.
Joe Biden in 2008: “You can not go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”
I demand that he Spanish Plague (1918), Asian Flu(1957), the Babylon influenza epidemic, Plague of Athens etc. should all be renamed. Moreover, the “Chicken-Pox” virus should also be renamed, so as not to offend the chickens.
Even the Spanish flu originated in China. You seem to be mixing up the Spanish flu with the black plague, And where did that originate? you guessed it, in China.
Ebola? Zika?

You can call it “Chinese virus” but it is devastating the USA, Europe, Russia, Latin America and India. China and its trade partners seem to be doing better than the West.
Rocky Mountains Spotted Fever must be banned (both the name and the disease), since it pointedly discriminates against the people of Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and whomever else feels any affinity towards mountains, rocks, fevers, or any sort of spots.
I think Biden just wants his eggroll. Children, we rage a world that has cobras too. Defang does not mean no egg.
Bug up.
