'Just astoundingly gross to call it the Wuhan Virus,' MSNBC host Chris Hayes tweeted.

In a statement on Sunday evening, Gosar said he came in contact with the infected individual for"an extended period of time, and we shook hands several times," but noted that he is"not currently experiencing any symptoms."

Cruz released a similar statement this evening announcing his 14-day quarantine after a brief interaction with an infected individual at CPAC over a week ago, which"consisted of a brief conversation and handshake."

It started in Wuhan. Thus the republican is correct. It is the WuhanVirus

It should be called COVID-19. Medical nomenclature aids in identifying specific corona virus involved. Not all corona viruses are the same and the specific name isn’t hard to learn or remember.

Ohhhh, for F's sake!!

Yeah that’s not right ! Chinese virus is much more appropriate !

Whine, whine.

Hey tedlieu did you also condemn people who refer to the GERMAN Measles virus? How about the SPANISH flu? Did you condemn China for calling it the Wuhan virus? RepGosar

Hey tedlieu did you also condemn people who refer to the German Measles virus? Did you condemn China for calling it the Wuhan virus?

yeah it's a huge stretch and it's so wrong, it only originated from Wuhan. smh Political Correctness is BS!

More racism

Corona beer says that wuhan virus sounds much better

Commie tedlieu sides with red commie Chinese on their exotic virus that is manifesting around the world. But, Trump is going to annihilate it in its tracks. Biohazard war to try and get rid of our President won’t work China.

lets just call it for what it is, the virus that originated from china from the consumption of bats.

How stupid.

I wonder if people talking about the West Nile virus know they’re racist AF?🙄🙄🙄🙄

Are Republicans a bunch of idiots or what?

.tedlieu is a POS for spreading Chinese government propaganda & not registering w/ FARA. TedLieuIsAPOS

How to call then ? Chinese virus?

True, but I think that it is time that the world insists that the Chinese quit eating bats. I mean, Jesus!

😳😳

Paronia lol

AndrewYangFanP1 Giosar intentional choice of word was to create strife and division. People like him wants chaos to justify their racism.

harris44_tl Guess what. Y’all called it the Wuhan virus from the beginning . Because it is. Nimrods. Ted Lieuser is a jackass.

‘Condemns’ really? How dramatic. 🙄

Still called Wuhan Virus in Taiwan.

Who care not me

WUHAN VIRUS!!!!!

This is more like Italian virus now - Due to the carelessness and infighting of Italian government, they ignored public health warnings - Its more like Italian Flu than Wuhan Flu.

It's a better name than Covid-19.

Wuhan virus is accurate

Maybe Paul can borrow the Gaetz gas mask.

It is amazing how many names for the Coronavirus Republicans have created. Just the other day they were calling it “A Democratic Hoax.”

It’s not racist. And if you think it is, you might be. 🤷🏻‍♂️
