The logical endpoint of postmodernism where every statement is questioned for intent and therefore no one can make simple observations.

Searching Twitter for examples of people decrying "Chinese virus" can come across as confirmation bias. It's also not an accurate measure of how many people truly disapprove of the name. The point is that the argument for or against it is frivolous. As for speaking in codes, you could just call the virus by its actual name, SARS-CoV-2 and the variant G614[0].
