He can say it because Cuomo is the Democratic God that can do no wrong.

Re: the "European Virus"
The bottom line is it's not called the "China Virus" nor is it called the "European Virus".
It's Covid-19.
So call it that and act like a professional and a leader. That goes for both of them calling it these names.

I was under the impression he called it the European virus because it came from Europe???? We know it came here from Italy, not China like Trump still insists. I assumed that is why Cuomo says European Virus...because Trump calls it the China virus and he is trying to "correct"him.
They are still saying it originated in China.
I know Sherlock. But the strain we got here in the Spring was from Europe.

Exactly, I can’t believe people are quoting science as a reason Cuomo is allowed to call it that. No, it’s not science. Scientists are not calling it the European Virus or the China Virus. I feel like the whole well it’s “science” excuse, is really starting to undermine actual research and science. It’s like another buzz word.

Do you think they really know? Coumo wouldn’t use the word China because Trump did.

I do not think he should be referring to it as the European Virus, but they actually do know that the cases in NY originated from the strain in Italy. They did genomic sequencing.

My science references was just to indicate the path that the virus took to come to the US. I don't agree that anyone should use any geographic label to reference the virus. It should be called Covid-19.

I agree, but I do think they should mention which variant it is because some seem to be worse than others. We just got the South African variant here. They spent so much time blocking the UK variant out, but it seems they forgot that there is a South African population here.
