  1. Wash your hands several times a day? On it.

    Cough into your elbow? On it.

    Avoid human contact whenever possible? I do that anyway.

    1. @Alan Peters Seriously? The cdc? The dumbasses that took so long to even send out tests and aren’t shutting down borders right now?

    2. @The Shadowgunner Yea seriously and first of all the CDC doesn’t have the authority to shut borders the do what the government tells them to do. In fact last week the were told by the gov not to speak unless told to and only say what they are told to say, the government is the prob not the CDC, I’ll put my money on the CDC anyday before the gov so go ahead live in fear and paranoia and panic I’ll just do what i know is right and what is safe.

  2. the virus has been here and KNOWN since late December and countries are taking measures in March. Okay

    1. Actually he tried to stop travel if February and house dems obstructed him again calling him a racist. Sounds familiar

    2. frances martin – nothing like inaccurate facts, but please keep believing uneducated trash, like Alyssa Milano. Eventually, you’ll create your own demise.

    3. Young SauceDripperz – well obviously, you’re still a kid, because “coronavirus” is a type of virus with many different strains. This is just the latest, most deadly strain. Quit reading Lysol cans and take at least one college level chemistry course and try to pass it. You might get it then.

    4. Whitney Russell – the silly “patent” hype is stupid. Do you know how many types of coronavirus there are? You don’t get a patent without incredible detail, so to refer to something as “coronavirus” is like referring to a Corvette as a car. There are lots of makes and models.

  3. The edits y’all, the edits! He changed his mind real quick. I wonder why. Looks like he’s doing his best to hold back a cough. 😂

    1. @Weazel Trump has not been taking it seriously. Unfortunately it appears our President has failed the Country when we needed a competent leader at a dangerous time. This is not a “Democratic hoax”. He has sabotaged America’s response to the Coronavirus. Major media outlets report that he was several weeks behind in addressing the threat to the National health. Today they are estimating 10 to 30 million Americans will need to be hospitalized. Along with a lack of testing in this Country the President cut the funding and staffing at the CDC. This is unforgivable and will probably cost him his re-election.

    2. @Maip video Still waiting on that link with a timestamp. I guess you finally watched the speech and realized you’ve been duped by the media… again…

    3. @Weazel you can keep waiting for all I care, I have a job and am busy unlike you who has the time to wait around on YouTube.
      Anyone want to help Weazel out, until I finish my meeting? Anyone?

    4. @Maip video You’re not going to be able to find it, man, because it doesn’t exist. But sure… if another one of your buddies here wants to go find Trump’s actual speech and realize NBC is lying to them, by all means, go for it. The more of you that realize you’re propagandized stooges, the better.

      Trump did not call the coronavirus a hoax. Period. He called your over the top hysteria ‘the latest Democrat hoax’, because that’s exactly what it is. Your side made this political. Not Trump.

    1. Matt Stryker. Mostly they are jobs that require skill and education, although not all. Red state farmers work at home, but they really just sit around collecting welfare.

    2. Matt Stryker. If you voted for Trump, you should get sick and die. You people won’t though because you aren’t even human. I despise all Trump voting yes bagging a-holes. I am sick of you cry baby whiners always playing the victim card. If it were up to me, you would be the ones locked in cages at the detention facility.

  4. He says “Stop the partisanship” but yesterday he met only with the republicans. He wants to rule only with his supporters. The rest of us including the people we elected are considered enemies.

    1. @Chekov Call Not even remotely true. I’m a former Army officer and I’ve been appalled by the ways in which Trump is trying to gut our democracy and ignore our Constitution. It’s even worse that republicans seem to be supporting him in this. I would feel exactly the same if during a national emergency a Democratic president met only with Democrats. (And for the record, it’s only Trump and the crazy right wingers who believe idiocy like a fellow American citizen trying to deliberately infect another citizen.)

    1. Yep, this analogy is more correct than ever. Trump profits with his hotel resorts having politicians and leaders pay big bucks to influence him and he is going to bankrupt the country with his lifelong incompetence.

    2. If you mean the extermination of life in this country (and the world) then I say bring it on…we need to reduce the amount of people in the world anyways. Hopefully it will strike all the homeless in this state and solve that problem the right way.

    1. @D G What you pointed out is actually pretty funny, thanks for the laugh. Nobody understands what is truly going on, but if you have thought about it, existence is VERY peculiar. I mean, where were you before you were born? Now you’re here.. reading this message from a stranger, who also exists on this ‘giant rock hurtling through space at 48,000 miles per hour’. I wish you the best.

    2. @John Smith Life is absurd, but what other choice do we have, and if we never find out we won’t know it anyway 🤣

    3. I’ve been an introvert, everyone looked down on me for not traveling the country and world, now I am glad I never traveled

    1. @Le Chéile 怎么了?你白爹都不急,你急了?我就想着用中文来钓你这种傻狗的,没想到真钓上来了😄😄

    2. James Irving okay but I know quite a lot of ppl currently living in China. And they are seriously doing well and major cities are going back to regular. Except the epicenter, most cities’ lockdown has been suspended already.

    3. @DB Stevens 20,000 deaths from 34 million cases is 0.05% death rate. 4,600 deaths out of approximately 140,000 confirmed cases is 3% death rate. Which is more serious then?

    4. @Alvin Lip “20,000 deaths from 34 million cases is 0.05% death rate. 4,600 deaths out of approximately 140,000 confirmed cases is 3% death rate. Which is more serious then?”

      Which is more serious? OBVIOUSLY the flu that actually killed 20,000 and infected 34,000,000 using vastly more medical resources and causing many more deaths as opposed to only infecting 140,000 and 4600. By the silly “logic” of you people that think you can ignore vastly higher infection rates and vastly higher actual death tolls and myopically focus only on mortality rate we’d just forget about flu and COVID-19 and worry about ebola, because hey, mortality rate is all that matters right? Most of us will never be exposed to it much less infected by it, but hey it’s mortality rate is 50% plus so it’s more “serious”. Your logic, I’m just throwing it back at you. Hint: You have to actually get infected by something before it’s mortality rate effects you.

  5. This is on every single republican in congress for their maniacal support of this dolt. The signs were clear from day 1.

    1. @Rick Ammon
      That kind of inexplicable fealty
      to what is so obviously poison
      is the hardest thing to wrap
      my mind around.
      But now, the tipping point. After all
      the fuckups these past weeks,
      45 and his gypsy caravan
      masquerading as an administration
      are toast. Over. Bet on it. Know why?
      Republicans are dying. That’s why.

    2. @Rwanda Drives it’s the Chinese fault for not bringing the news of this virus fast enough. Check your facts Moron before making a political hate statement against the Republicans. Since the Dems in Congress knew about this back in December why didn’t they pull the resources they have in the House and instead of wasting precious time and money trying to Impeach an innocent Man they could have put Country First!

    3. ACTUALLY ITS ON THE DEMOCRATS AND CHINA… DEMOCRATS THEIR TIME IMPEACHING..IGNORING THE VIRUS UNTIL TWAS TOO LATE…

  6. Now we can finally stay home and play computer games without getting nagged by our wives to go out 🙂

    1. @Doom Slayer as a 45 year old man when I go to a friends house and I see a man my age playing video games it makes me pause. That time of our life ended decades ago. It makes me question priorities. I expect children and teen-agers to play video games but our priorities change as we age. It has to do with the role the adult has with a teen-ager or a child. The adult has to set an example. We expect you to be successful and time management along with priorities is a big part of being an adult.

  7. I am Korean and these are what we are doing here.

    1. Test & Medical care for Free (It does not matter if you are Korean or foreigner or illegal immigrant or tourist.)

    Government provide free test&care service if you have any symptom. This is not waste of tax, but for protect ourselves.

    2. Everyone put mask on their face (We experienced the shortage of mask, but we made a system that 1 person can buy only 2 masks per week at any pharmacy in the country.

    3. Hand Sanitizer everywhere. (In the House, Lobby, Subway, Elevator, School, Office. etc)

    4. Government announce twice a day the new cases & share the information where and when they visited and isolate them all.
    (Government send you an emergency text message if there were any new cases in your city and share the exact information)

    5. Minimize to go to hospital for other patients and medical staff.

    6. We do not “PANIC BUYING” and this is really important.
    We have taken various measures, such as closing schools and telecommuting, but we live as usual.
    This is for all of us.

    7. Government and Medical experts educate people and citizens are following the rules.

    8. Government pays living expenses to people in isolation and subsidizes closed stores.

    South Korea has 2nd ranked in hospital beds per 1000 people, but we have experienced the SHORTAGE of BED at the beginning.
    (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_OECD_countries_by_hospital_beds)

    I am so concerning about this virus.
    Please do not make fun of this virus. THIS IS NOT FUNNY!!!
    Some television shows and comedians are making fun of this virus, and that affect to public in very negative ways.
    PLEASE BE SERIOUS AND BE CIVIL for EVERYONE.

    1. I like the idea of drive through testing. Although testing does not cure the virus it shows who needs to be isolated and treated. Koreans understand the role government should play…

    1. I don’t like Trump, but he is taking it as seriously as he should…and by that I mean not at all. People getting all worked up for nothing.

    2. Never been a virus like it,
      believe me. I know more about
      viruses then anybody, okay?
      Take some aspirin.

  8. What is historic is the fact that a response to a health care crisis is being controlled by a political campaign.

    1. Rick Ammon – your either delusional or under 25, which in many cases, is pretty much the same. You keep repeating yourself because you have nothing relevant to say.

    1. @John Mcsorley I didn’t say to re-port them…. just deport them. Take them to a port… send them off, preferably without a means to stay buoyant and by means of a catapult. There are plenty of hungry sharks that I’m sure would love to take them in. It would be YouTube gold.

    2. @A K You’re right of course, but I’ll just say God’s will be done, and the shark idea was funny.

    3. @James Ricker At the end of the day, if we’re not all in this together, we won’t be in this at all. I’m happy to help build the catapults.

  9. “Just stay home” okay, what do we tell our jobs lol. I could have coronavirus and my job would still guilt trip me into showing up.

    1. snaileri some jobs do some don’t. It’s not required. for example my brothers job, he cannot miss more than 4 days of work and doctors notes are not accepted no matter what. Have to have surgery? Sick? Too bad show up or lose your job. It sucks! Something needs to change

    2. Volha Teagle I think Benny has a good point. He seems like a intelligent person.

      We are the sheep believing a hoax that was designed to deny trump a second and third term.

      Precautions aren’t necessary to avoid something that doesn’t exist. I think we should reward Benny for opening our eyes.

      I say we chip in and buy him a first class ticket to Italy. I hear it’s beautiful this time of year.

      He should read up on local customs though. In some regions they kiss as a greeting.
