In Turkmenistan, It's Now Illegal to Say the Word 'Coronavirus' |
2020-04-02 |
[PJ] One of the few nations on earth not reporting any cases of the coronavirus is the Central Asian dictatorship of Turkmenistan. Perhaps the reason for that is that the government of President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov has forbidden citizens to say the word "coronavirus" in public. I'll bet the politically correct police in the U.S. wish they had this kind of power to enforce a ban against using the term "Chinese virus." New York Post: The Central Asian nation is ordering citizens to stop saying the name of the deadly illness that’s sweeping the globe — and even empowered police to detain anyone letting it pass their lips in public, the Independent says, citing local media. Well, they can dream, can't they? |
