Warning! Some Topics Not Appropriate for Children (18 and older advised)!

Listen & Study Services' Commentary:
Who are we, the American public, to believe? Are we to believe Trump supporters or Asian Americans who are reaching out to the public to stop the attacks on them?
Here we are a year later and attacks on Asians in America increased by over 500% since that fateful day when former US president Trump announced that since the Covid 19 virus started in China, therefore, it should be called the China virus. During this time is also when a chain of events started when an even more increasing divide along racial lines here in the US reached a point of no return.
Whether Trump meant to cause some to single out Asians may seem to be important; I disagree. However, I do believe that he should have stopped the bloodletting while it was still small. But no, he decided to stick the knife in deeper into the racial wound of the American society.
Now, here we are in 2021, and many many more Americans with Asian heritage, from all over the globe, have experienced backlash and blame for the pandemic and have been targeted by unseemly people including those with violent filled hateful behavior.
This said, I have listed other diseases which have been nicknamed, if you will, after where they started. See the list below:
* West Nile Virus
Named after the West Nile District of Uganda discovered in 1937.
* Guinea Worm
Named by European explorers for the Guinea coast of West Africa in the 1600s.
* Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Named after the mountain range spreading across western North America first recognized in 1896 in Idaho.
* Lyme Disease
Named after a large outbreak of the disease that occurred in Lyme and Old Lyme, Connecticut in the 1970s.
* Ross River Fever
Named after a mosquito found to cause the disease in the Ross River of Queensland, Australia by the 1960s. The first major outbreak occurred in 1928.
* Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever
Named after its 1940s discovery in Omsk, Russia.
* Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever
Named in 1976 for the Ebola River in Zaire located in central Africa.
* Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)
Also known as “camel flu,” MERS was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and all cases are linked to those who traveled to the Middle Eastern peninsula.
* Valley Fever
Valley Fever earned its nickname from a 1930s outbreak in the San Joaquin Valley of California, though its first case came from Argentina.
* Marburg Virus Disease
Named after Marburg, Germany in 1967.
* Norovirus
Named after Norwalk, Ohio after an outbreak in 1968.
* Zika Fever
First discovered in 1947 and named after the Zika Forest in Uganda.
* Japanese Encephalitis
Named after its first case in Japan in 1871.
* German Measles
Named after the German doctors who first described it in the 18th century. The disease is also sometimes referred to as “Rubella.”
* Spanish Flu
While the true origins of the Spanish Flu remain unknown, the disease earned its name after Spain began to report deaths from the flu in its newspapers.
* Lassa Fever
Named after the being found in Lassa, Nigeria in 1969.
* Legionnaires Disease
Named in 1976 following an outbreak of people contracting lung infection after attending an American Legion convention in Philadelphia.
Asian's sue:
In conclusion, I am not happy with the idea that so many Americans are not willing to take the 'High-road' and hold their tongues to keep the peace; this is what I think went wrong! President Trump (2019) should have used diplomacy and stuck to using the scientific terminology for the pandemic. He could have used the term CoVid - 19 ( or SARS2) virus and avoided being a catalyst for haters to use to further advance their hate in the USA.
