I wonder how long it will take before the narrative shifts from blaming liberals for the panic, to blaming liberals for the ineffective measures taken to stop the spread of the disease.
The answer to that is easy to discover: watch Fox News everyday for the next 6 months and report on us.

I would do it, but I have some door knobs to lick in China, instead. :P

Apparently Faux Snooze has directed that their talking heads and anchors are not to use the word "coronavirus" but, instead, the phrase "Chinese coronavirus."  There's a substantial YouTube clip with just an endless stream of Snoozers doing exactly that.

I think the next line of defense in the libtard hoax narrative is "it's only affecting the blue states."

I think the whole "Chinese virus" thing is an attempt to change what the media is talking about.

The "fake news" complains about Trump calling it the Chinese virus, saying that itis racist, while Fox News gets to complain about how the mainstream news is being politically correct in the middle of a crisis.  All of which distracts from the shitty job Trump is doing.

Let's stop being politically correct and just call it the "MAGA virus".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Calling it the "Chinese" virus also helps to shift blame.  "It's not Trumps fault this is out there, it's a Chinese virus after all!"

Yep it is just an attempt by the Trump Administration to avoid what they most fear: accountability.

BLAME THE FOREIGNERS!! is kind of their answer for everything.

When in doubt, blame a foreigner.  If there aren't any left, invent one.

It may have started out as a Chinese virus but it will end up as American as apple pie and the NFL.

Well, according to Joe Scarborough it'll be effective because Trumps purposeful racism will draw media attention away from the woeful incompetence and ham fisted response. "Look at the horrible orange racist, so horrible!" versus "why doesn't the USA have a functioning testing apparatus and why are we so slow to respond at every stage?"
