Replied to a post on matigo.ca :

There's much to applaud in Jason's write-up of a university student's efforts to show people in Japan where positive responses to the coronavirus are. And one thing to abhor, and that's the description of "a foreign virus running rampant". The virus may have had an origin elsewhere, but there is no sense in which a pathogen can be considered foreign. This sort of wording legitimises xenophobia.
