I find it disgusting that people are attacking Chinese people because of this, but they fail to notice that this IS a Chinese GOVERNMENT problem. The Chinese government have absolutely appalling sanitary laws and guidelines which has led us to the predicament where we are today.  I am the first person to defend a Chinese person getting attacked , and we CANNOT assosicate them with the WHY and HOW this started. There is a reason. There needs to be blame and that blame right now is on the Chinese government for their behaviour. There's a racist debate whether  to call it a "chinese virus" because it came from China. But let's not let the mask of name calling and discussions of PC-ness overtake the underlying problem and issue of how and why this manifested.
