DO - talk about people “acquiring” or “contracting” #COVID19— World Health Organization (WHO) (@WHO) March 2, 2020
DON'T - talk about people “transmitting COVID-19” “infecting others” or “spreading the virus” as it implies intentional transmission & assigns blame https://t.co/yShiCMfYF3#coronavirus pic.twitter.com/RLfFIvrlo5
I'd feel better if WHO were concentrating on diagnosis and treatment, instead of telling us what words we are allowed to use.
