Central New York restaurant apologizes for offensive Facebook post

A Central New York restaurant is apologizing for an offensive social media post.
“UNFORTUNATE ANNOUNCEMENT,” the Patio Drive-In in Utica, N.Y., wrote on Facebook. “THE CHINA FLU HAS HIT US WITH A POSITIVE EXPOSURE I FEEL TERRIBLE BUT FOR THE SAFTY (sic) OF OUR STAFF & PATRON’S WE WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL MARCH 3rd.”
The restaurant was criticized online for referring to the coronavirus as “China Flu,” echoing racist terms that fueled a rise in hate crimes against Asian-Americans since the Covid-19 pandemic began last year. Former President Donald Trump also repeatedly referred to the virus, which originated in China in late 2019, as the “Chinese Virus” and “kung flu.”
