There is a bizarre reluctance among people on the left to blame China for the Coronavirus.
We know it originated in China, that is not a matter of dispute.
Yet New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now referring to it as the European Virus.
The National Pulse reports:
WATCH – NY Gov. Cuomo Bizarrely Calls COVID-19 a ‘European Virus’
Speaking at his daily press conference, Gov. Cuomo bizarrely declared: “Yes we have more cases than anyone else. Yes we had this European virus attack us and nobody expected it. But we’re not only going to change our trajectory, we’re going to change the trajectory more dramatically than any place else in the nation.”
It’s true. Cuomo did help to change the trajectory of the virus more dramatically than anywhere else in the United States: upward.
Cuomo’s work in forcing nursing homes to take in coronavirus patients no doubt led to needless deaths.
Regardless, his stance in calling it the “European virus” will confound even the most neutral of observers.
The coronavirus – otherwise known as the ‘China virus’, or ‘CCP virus’ – emerged from Wuhan, in the Hubei province of China.
It did not emerge in Europe.

He said this in today's presser multiple times.

"European virus"?
And this victory lap Democrat Gov. Cuomo is doing is odd given the reporting last week that 65% of the outbreaks across the country came from New York

Unbelievable. To be clear @NYGovCuomo, it’s the CHINA virus.

Why are so many Democrats bending over backwards to protect China?
