Just stating a random disease/illness that started in the U.K. does not offer any reasons as to why it is racist if some people call it the Chinese virus? It’s not like it’s completely random it was stated as the China virus even by BBC and other news outlets when it first begun, including the president of the United States, it’s not just some random terminology...
People just seem to be snowflakes on other peoples/countries behalf.
Edit: After reading about BSE, well done to the U.K. on acting and placing a ban on feeding bones and meat to cows and actively help to prevent this ever happening again, perhaps China should follow suit and place stricter animal welfare laws and better food hygiene laws, and better wet market regulations to prevent yet another disease from occurring - rather than imprisoning Chinese reporters who report on the Chinese virus and its origins or wet markets..
I think it’s important to hold China accountable to help prevent this happening and occurring again and again, otherwise millions upon millions of lives will be lost due to future occurrences. Any country that has poor regulations (as you mentioned above the U.K. with mad cows disease) should be held accountable for disease/deaths and try to improve for the benefit of the world and lives. I think trying to protect countries (China in this case) is incredibly dangerous because otherwise they will not feel pressure to implement change to prevent this happening again. Just my personal view - shutting down people who remind others where it originated is actually quite dangerous
