The scientific convention for viruses has always been to use the virus name and country or location (eg Ebola Zaire, Ebola Sudan, Ebola Reston).  It is technically/scientifically incorrect to call it "China virus" as virus is non-specific.  It can and should be called Corona China or Corona Wuhan.  Further support of "Corona China or Corona Wuhan" is the existence of UK Strain, S. Africa Strain, etc.  

This is pandering at its best and highest level using an executive order.  This should have been CDC/Fauci making this point in press conferences to the MSM.

Joke:  How about an Executive Order that you can't refer to something as "You know, the thing"!?

The term 'China Virus' is dumb.  Using the term 'China Virus' is dumb.  Banning the term, 'China Virus', is also dumb.

Agree.

Joke: How about an Executive Order that you can't say "C'mon man!"?  According to Pelosi, using "man" is not gender neutral, it is sexist, it is divisive, offensive, etc.

Are those not 'presidential' traits?

Isn't it funny how Biden gets condemned for these traits while the same traits made Trump a hero to many?  Unbelievable!  People see only what they want to see.

It's politics 101 - take the failings of your candidate and accuse the other guy of them.

Like when someone on the Trump team says, "Biden has a little pee pee".

You can look at both ways Trump was condemned by the left and some on the right encouraged it. Now the right condemns Biden doing it and some on the left are encouraging it. If people would look out of both left and right eyes they could see better.

I see a guy that’s taking out American jobs as fast as he can put pen to paper . And this order is a wast of paper it is written on.

I was only commenting on someone calling out Biden for being "petty and vindictive" which happen to be the exact same traits that made Trump a hero to many.  I was not referring to this executive order.

[knehrke]

Okay, as a scientist, I like to fact check. The executive order is limited to federal agencies and public health documents and resources. It bans the use of non-specific terms like China virus (or kung flu, for example), that, while hysterical in my mind, have no place in the official policies of the USA. As is appropriate. Names matter. We don't refer to Richard as Dick in court proceedings. We don't substitute "ain't" for "is not" in official documents. And we call COVID-19 COVID-19. 

And a fact check of documents posted during the Trump era found zero incidence of using "China Virus" to describe COVID-19 in official public health documentation.

So, yeah, it's an executive order that addresses an issue that doesn't exist. But this small example is couched in the middle of a larger executive order that is intended to prevent the use of derogatory language in federal documents. I think we can all agree that there are some terms that don't belong there. Whether the order addresses any issues of substance are another thing, but in principle I think we can agree that it's a good idea not to insult the folks you're trying to govern. 

So...my take is that it is a waste of time, but a well-intended gesture. And it only applies to official federal documents, so you can still say Kung-flu in the office if you like without being afraid of being censured.

[Grouse]

Who gets to judge what is a derogatory term?  Isn't this form of language control a little totalitarian in your view?

Not according to the  diversity classes,I’ve sat through ,  it’s all in the eye of the offended  . One Chinaman doesn’t like that reference , you’re in trouble .

One video we had to watch ,had a white guy that asked a black co worker if he watched the game last night . Seems innocent enough , but no that was racist to assume the black guy was automatically a sports fan .

[G-Man]

Well if an executive order can do this ,the colored community should be up in arms, why havst the n- word been banned, or many other racial slurs.... lmao

[Merlot]

Would be a hoot to paint "China Virus" on some roads, similar to the "Black flies Matter" stuff painted in roads. Fair is fair.
