Let’s stop calling it “Wuhan flu” and call it COVID 19 or the novel coronavirus.

Let's not get carried away. No one "introduced" anything. The Chinese gov't suppressed credible information because of political reasons and because they think nothing of employing totalitarian measures if things do go sideways. They did the math and suppressed the information. There were honest, brilliant physicians working in good faith to stem the advent of this contagion, but totalitarians being what they are....

We do need to uncouple our economy from China's. It may happen all on it's own as things evolve and it won't be comfortable for anyone but we've had this coming....
 
COVID-19 is an acronym that stands for coronavirus disease of 2019.
The coronavirus disease of 2019 was named COVID-19 by the WHO in a press release on February 11, 2020.

Diseases are officially named by WHO in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). For COVID-19, the name was decided based on agreed guidelines between the WHO, the World Organization for Animal Health, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The name was chosen because it didn’t refer to a specific geographic location, a specific animal, or a specific group of people. It also had to be easy to pronounce and related to the disease.
 
I bought some rifles. Rossi RS-22s, will be fun plinkers.

Also I’m pretty ok calling it the “Chinese flu”. It did start there, where they were eating koalas and snakes and dogs. Pretty sure it’s a natural consequence of eating bats, dogs, otters, etc. Especially dogs and cats. I really hope China cracks down on eating dogs and cats. Eating weird animals = Disease, so stop doing it. And definitely stop eating dogs. And if some people get negative feelings from that, well, turn that negativity into making sure their Third World country doesn’t bring more exotic viruses from whatever animal this was ripped out of into humanity. Develop better, safer food chains. Chinese culture and people isn’t responsible for this directly or exclusively but the Chinese did unleash it with their practices.
You don’t see a Mexican Coronavirus, or a Texan one, because we don’t eat bats, dogs and rare koalas.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, anyone?

Exactly! Notice how “let’s eat tainted cow” went away really fast.

So stop eating tainted dogs. Properly controlled dog meat should be fine

I think he was kidding with the pneumonic, and I think you’re taking this “Wuhan” thing a little too personal. Just sayin...

agreed, but my ingrained sense of cultural superiority and misplaced Anglo- centrism says that eating Mans Best Friend is beyond the pale and should be shut down just like my distant ancestors shut down the old Indian practice of widow-burning.

You've just never had a cow or chicken as a pet. They're sweet creatures just as much as dogs.
 
You should see how lovingly the mum hens take care of their chicks
 
Watching both Zombieland films and reminding myself it is not a how to guide....


YET.

a good friend had a pet pig and I don’t do pork since I met Hambacon. He was awesome! Died fat and old and super happy too. Smartest “dog” I’ve ever known.

Sounds like the same reason Tony Stewart named his pig Porkchop. Said it was the pig's one and only warning.

I actually really like the artificial meat and have mostly cut out read meat and poultry. Fish is good.
