5 To 10 Undetected Cases For Every Confirmed Case, Says Study | Morning Joe | MSNBC

96 comments

    1. @Don Williams This virus was initial deployed by a secret taskforce of United States Army Chemical Corps during the 2019 World Military Games, Wuhan, October 2019.

  1. Trumpty you failed the test!!! And yet you give yourself a 10!!! You should be ashamed of yourself!!! 🐔💩🎃

    1. @Airik Luna Dr. Fauci is the quintessential authority on communicable diseases. If you want to dismiss his expertise that says more about you than about him. As for your magic beans, I’ll pass on the noxious fumes coming from your intestinal tract.

    2. @Wayne Hasch If you listen to him then you would realize the first time he spoke as the official voice he said “go to the CDC website” the information there has differed from the public message. I trust him I do not trust what he is allowed to say publicly.
      So would you like to place that order for the beans?

    3. @Wayne Hasch Guess what, I have a supply I started collecting in January. I also have p100 and N95 masks, why? Because I didn’t follow the public message I followed the CDC guidelines.

    4. @Airik Luna Fauci is 77 years old and doing what he does as his public service. He could earn millions sitting on the board of a medical corporation. He IS the public message except for those politicians who criticized the blockage of flights from China as RACIST. No one needs the CDC to know that masks are helpful. I have a few myself. If Trump cured cancer TODAY, some people would question the timing or say that his cancer cure is just a distraction to deflect attention from corona.

  2. This is going to expose just how much of a third-world country the United States really is.

    1. @kyle grant really!!! they had to lie about a 2 decade war against a privately funded military. just because you all keep saying, “this great country” ,doesn’t make it true.

  3. Incompetent leadership, it was and to some is still a Dem hoax as of last week. All the lies and misinformation by the president is proof he needs to be removed from office and locked up in a mental hospital, not later now.

    1. @Stephen Stockley No one think he is incompetent, everyone KNOWS he is incompetent in every sense of the word – BUT he is VERY competent at lying.

    2. @Stephen Stockley Canada is testing, please list your sources that say they are not, as I fail to find where your opinion comes from. It sounds like you just hate your PM and want to blame him for everything.

    1. @Judith Shapiro heck, I procrastinated for 20 years about something. It wasn’t a life or death deal though. And our government knew this virus was a life or death deal.

    2. Nurses not wearing masks or gloves routinely in Urgent Care. I know. I was in one last Thursday. T’Rumps telling people they don’t need to take precautions is downright scary!!

  4. How can we protect ourselves when we must go out? Not everyone can afford to stock up on six months worth of food and toilet paper.
    BTW someone fire tRUMP!

    1. If you can’t work from home, go to work, go straight home, weekly trip to the supermarket or pharmacy. Learn some hobbies, exercise, read, tv ,Internet, it’s a few months out of your whole life, it will be tough sure but not impossible

    2. Alex Warner

      I’ll take “If you can’t work from home go to work for $200”, Alex!! 🙋🏽‍♂️

      What is….some freaking jobs aren’t operational dumb dum?

    3. @ihave35cents
      I agree Trump should stop being a ignorant moronic loser!!! I’m sure that’s what you meant, right?

    4. melodk it is in the air! At least wear a mask to stop the virus floating on bigger floaters. The not wearing masks thing is a lie. Why aren’t we figuring out how to make these things in THIS country? You have people making masks at home BUT they have NO FILTERS. This is the very least our government can do. NOW is the time to beg the world for tests too. There are things we can do. Government money to get these things done is much more important than giving money to the rich. Trillions of dollars to Wall Street which helped stocks for one hour. How many medical supplies and MASH hospitals could have been deployed for that money?!?!?

  5. Who is looking after the children being held at the border through this pandemic???? May God protect them. Not forgotten sweethearts. Not forgotten.

    1. @random name Perfectly said and correct. A small group of us did try a protest walk. Never gathered many others so you that’s why I am complaining…..reaction to my disbelief. That grotesque human being is still in the WH.

    2. Kathy Weis Well it seems TRUMP WON. The Supreme Court upheld the fact that they MUST STAY IN MEXICO. Funny how none of you sheep put any blame on the parents. Send their kids all alone. Noooo That’s not a problem. Coyotes bringing them and having other illegals play like they are their relatives is ok to right? GTFOH.

    3. Manmade? I thought your god was the creator of everything. Must have taken a day off. Go be crazy somewhere else, we’re all busy at the moment.

  6. I just realized that this will again confirm the trend that every democratic president bring economic growth while every republican president bring a recession.

    1. @monica luketich if we just let the old people die it would have been fine. It’s part of life people die. We crashed the whole economy for 100 people that passed. Flu takes out 50k a year we don’t shut the world down.

    2. @kyle grant It’s NOT just the old people who are not recovering. I would guess by your reply that you are in your 20s or 30s? Don’t blink or you will suddenly find yourself in your 60s or at whatever age you THINK is ‘elderly.’ Older employees are more dependable going to work, have experiences that younger folks do not have in the work place and have seen the evolution of technology and its implications. I know a 83 year old who has 3 part time jobs. My doctor is 70 and looks and act like a 45 year old. I’m 63, have 10 acres to take care of by myself and just finished my Master Gardener classes so I can teach and help elderly and low income people how to grow food in our small towns here in recycled containers.

    3. @monica luketich so if you are old or weak go live in your bunker for the next year. Allow the economy live on. Poverty kills way more people than this virus ever will.

    4. @kyle grant I could. Could you? You are still believing the ‘data’ that there are only 1700 deaths – so far – due to the flu. Most experts say that the 1918 flu came in three waves – the second one had the most deaths. History does repeat itself. I hope I am incorrect; only time will tell.

  7. The answer as to how we ended up here is simply – The people of the United States elected a film flam man. It didn’t have to be like this. We had 3 months to prepare. It was squandered but that’s what con men do – they squander.

    1. @William Bailey 👄”Only so many hours in a day!” He only uses about three or four of them!!! Stop being stupid!!!

    2. @William Bailey Great excuse, but I guess if you need to grasp at straws, that’s a convenient one. And even after the impeachment was overturned by the Senate, he STILL (and there’s plenty of video) refused to admit that the virus was a real health issue. At one of his rallies–long after impeachment was over, he called it the new Democrat hoax. Did the impeachment cause him to say that? Grow up and face reality: a spoiled child trying to do an adult’s job

    3. @Bob M to bad you dont watch things live as they happen. Then you would have heard what was actually said. Stop watching MSM snipits and watch it live. Then you wont look like a fool when making comments.

    4. @William Bailey I watched it all live as it happened. But the point is I was responding to your posts, not commenting on some MSNBC snippet. <--- Psssst...that's the correct spelling. But I'm the fool...

  8. The US refused the WHO Test! That’s one major failure in response to this pandemic! Then attempted to influence German scientists working on vaccines for profit.

    1. Probably they refused it because the pharmaceutical industry is an big donor of the republicans and probably Trump and his friends has stocks in the company that is unable to produce working tests. It is all politics and greed.
      That is the difference between capitalistic US and socialist Europe

    2. @crazymause Well, because current Director-General of the WHO is an African black dude, Trump aint like him.

  9. why did trump refuse world health organization testing kits in January?? who is profiting from this decision?

    1. Jake Hartman — Why did Трамп refuse the offer of the test kits already manufactured and ready to ship IN JANUARY, to the US from the WHO? Because he owns a considerable amount of stock in the two companies that he gave the only contracts to, that are going to manufacture those test kits for the American people. Трамп will make millions off of those government contracts. Question is, do you want to trust those test kits to be accurate over the accuracy of the German test kits already proven to be reliable and readily available?

    2. Josh Kushner owns Oscar healthcare Facilities (2014 with 325 million investment from alphabet Google parent company)and is taking his own family interest in profiting off this Pandemic. Profit before people.

    3. @Bring_back_45’s Maybe if it is cheap enough, he won’t lose a much money as he usually does. He may WISH he was in real estate, but all he has ever “been in” is self-promotion.

    1. It’s amazing that this old guy who has to pause for a breath on every 2 syllable word, is not concerned.

  10. Some Republicans are asking us to remember the “good times” before the virus. Really? Here’s what I remember: Trump gave himself a huge tax cut that mushroomed the deficit for no reason; families at the border were separated, and kids were in cages; our traditional alliances were frayed while Trump praised dictators like Kim Jong-un and Putin; more than a million Americans lost healthcare coverage; we had the worst mass shootings in our history, and Trump did nothing because he was bribed $30 million by the NRA; Trump made the worst appointments in history, like Betsy DeVos, Scott Pruitt, Kavanaugh, etc. etc.; Trump got himself impeached by trying to bribe the president of Ukraine for political reasons; and a never-ending stream of lies. Oh, I could go on and on. And that was all before the stock market crash and the botched response to the coronavirus. We need new leadership in the U.S.!

    1. Allan Burns….very well stated. The sad truth is, while he’s making the rich richer it’s the poor that will keep him in power despite the fact trump’s policies are not in their best interest. It’s truly mind boggling.

  11. History tells the unique element present in all fall of all empires: 1st is greed, 2nd is ignorance.

    1. Horrifying Apocalypse I truly believe that is what they want. Destruction of America is exactly what they have been doing.

    1. @Mad Phyn
      Elroy the great is probably a Russian hack but never the less, he must be blind, cripple and crazy. He may support Trump but 4 more years of this administration will sink him too.

    2. @MrBisque The buck definitely stops with Trump, right in his offshore bank account where nobody knows where that buck went or where it came from.

    3. He is the opposite-Truman …. the buck stops anywhere but on my desk. He’s no longer just a joke, he’s dangerous.

    4. “Anybody that wants a test (for the coronavirus) can get a test” — Donald Trump, March 6, 2020

  12. trump is 100% responsible for this.
    He fired the people in charge of monitoring this type of situation so should be held liable.

    1. @Trump News ..you’re right he didn’t outright fire anyone, he cut the funding for the CDC…..
