Let’s see - the virus is indiscriminately dangerous, we need to give it space so as not to run afoul of it, and it’s costing everyone a lot of peace of mind.

Yup, naming it for a woman makes good sense.

Actually, because in the end you're left with rubble

If it mutates we can call it "Veronica."

Yes, like I’m going to base my animation sexual preferences on what a mutated cat, a slacker, a dim witted hologram and a robot have to say about it. Pfft.

Boru

Rap "music".

I can't remember the episode but one of the funniest things I've ever seen is the dancing puppet Rimmers.

Last week I saw a story of Jews at the wailing wall in mass packed in like sardines too. If "social distancing" is supposed to help, which medical experts say it does, then I don't give a fuck if you are Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Hindu or Buddhist. 

"Fratvirus"
"Afluensavirus"
"Allah virus"
"Jesus virus"
"Yawheyvirus"
"Budhavuris"
"Vishnuvirus"

I don't give a fuck what religion or nation or class you are from. The medical experts do not give a shit about where you live or what you believe, they are all saying distance is the only thing that can reduce transmission, along with washing your hands repeatedly, and avoiding physical contact, and cleaning commonly touched surfaces frequently.

But - apparently - you DO give a fuck if the people referenced happen to be Pakistani. 

Why?

Boru

Yes, because I have a friend who lives in Pakistan.

You missed my point once again.

An asshole tried to single out Pakistan because they saw a mass group of Muslims packed in like sardines in a religious ritual. How the fuck is that different than the story of Jews doing the same fucking thing at the Wailing Wall? How is that different than churches in America ignoring the same warnings? It is not.

I am fine with ANYONE saying "You should not do that". I am not fine with anyone singling out any race/religion/nationality. 

Again, it is not a Chinese virus, it is not a Muslim virus, it is not a Jewish virus, it is not a Christian virus, it is not a Buddhist virus, it is not a Hindu virus. It is simply a virus. And a virus that does not give a shit if it infects a Pakistani, or Australian or Mexican, or rich or poor. Just like the tsunami that killed over 13k in Japan didn't give a shit that it hit Japan.
