The National Review is a host for a virus that infects your mind with a disease that makes you hurt yourself, like the parasite Toxoplasma gondii that makes mice unafraid of cats. They have a whole host of counter-factual and anti-science articles mixed in with news, and the news is often slanted by leaving out inconvenient facts. Basically you can't read it safely without the intellectual equivalent of a fume hood.
Why does this article use the term "Wuhan virus" when COVID-19 or Coronavirus could be used? It's possible to make the case that Sweden's no-social-distancing policy is working for them, but you can deliver that point without sounding like a Trump presser. It's dog whistling. The outbreak of violence against Asian Americans is the responsibility of every single person using this phrase.
