I get what he was trying to says. When Coronavirus first came to the USA, a lot of people were discriminating against Chinese people. Saying that they weren't as American as other people and stuff like that. Which is really unfair for the Chinese people. So it makes sense to try to urge people to be nice to Chinese Americans and Chinese immigrants living in the USA when they are getting treated unfairly by other Americans.
Most people who die of the virus in the United States will have have caught it by coming into contact with someone while they were both in America. Not by coming into contact with someone while they were both in China. So it's an American virus as much as it is a Chinese virus. When the virus came to the USA, we did a bad job of social distancing and wearing masks and quarantining. And we paid for it by having many more people getting infected. And infections lead to many more copies of the virus being present in the USA. Leading to more infections.
