Lana Condor (22) is a young female actress, known for her leading role in Netflix movie ‘To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before’. Lana, who was born in Vietnam, raised in America and has Asian roots, this week responded to President Trump’s remark of COVID-19 as the ‘China Virus’ with a statement.

Lana, via Twitter, strongly condemned President Trump’s remark as planting a racist image and placing Asian American people in danger.

Its image is more like China Virus. At this point in time the source is Wuhan, so it can’t be thought of as entirely wrong.
The fact that Chinese people are sending copious amounts of masks and the name of the virus are completely irrelevant and just a sidestep in logic.

I wonder how she views the conjecture by the WHO?
I wonder how she views China's concealment, when in the first place they could have stamped down on this sooner.
This kind of person commenting on Trump’s remark can’t see what’s really at fault in this timeline, can they!

The substance of the issue is wrong.
It’s not a problem of racial discrimination, but a problem of a lack of international morals.
I think that an apology is due, and that this is a matter that warrants giving compensation.

In truth it did originate in China, and they concealed it and responded late. Plus, the economy has stagnated and on an individual level people could lose their jobs, that serious influence is being experienced all over the world.
You really can say we have China to thank for that.
China is to the world nothing more than a burden.

Name of the virus aside, at the very least it’s a universal fact that it’s the fault of China and WHO’s relationship that this spread to the world.

Trump is too frank. However, he is definitely correct.
This actress is too stupid. Rather than it being that she intentionally subverted the issue, it’s more like she doesn’t even realize her subversion, does she?

Rather than the China Virus remark, shouldn’t we bring up China’s claim that the corona virus was brought in by the American military?
That they’re saying this is an American crime, I think is a bigger issue than the China virus remark.
If there’s a basis for it, I want to know.

We call it the Novel Corona Virus, but it's not like we can keep saying that for decades ahead, so I think that China Virus is more suitable.
Though personally I think Wuhan Virus is better.
