with new and si xi was not used because it is a common last name and the world health organization best practices for naming disease suggest avoiding causing offense and any cultural, social, national or ethnic groups. xi is also the leader of china. an argument can be made we re keeping information from people when we don t talk about the origins for a particular variant. doesn t mean we re racist. we want to know where it came from. i for one forgot where delta came from. i looked it up over the weekend. it came from india. i wonder if we re being overly sensitive on this, jason. what is your feeling on that? yeah, i don t spend 10 seconds on what they call it. what i m concerned about is that the united states congress is doing zero in terms of doing an investigation into the origins of this virus so that it never, ever happens again.
