US congressman Paul Gosar's social media announcement of his self-quarantine started a debate after he termed the new coronavirus as "Wuhan virus", referring to the Chinese city where the virus outbreak reported to have originated. While some Twitter users called it "racist" and "gross" others defended him, saying he was just stating a fact. WHO has already urged not to tag any location or ethnicity to the virus.
