    1. @elc I had enough of those with them eating tide pods and snorting condoms not to mention they aren’t sure which bathroom they belong in.

    2. John Taylor
      I could care less what bathroom anyone uses, there are stalls ffs, if people JUST STAY HOME!

    3. @elc By the way you sound like the kind of person that wouldn’t care if a grown man went into the same bathroom your little girl is in.

  1. earphones in….. looking at the screen……. checking all of current events on msn…… being cool n polite……. BUT STILL NO MASK, NO GLOVES, RIDING SUBWAYS, GOING TO CAFES, STROLLING THE PARK…… VIRUS DOES NOT STOP SPREADING WITH BEST INTENTIONS !!!!!!!!

  2. Yeah because millenials haven’t been saying for months how serious this was while conservatives were shouting hoax and practically flaunting how little they’re concerned by it. But no just like with diamonds and department stores, it’s always the forever in debt generation that’s to blame.

  3. Why is no one talking about the fact that those who get seriously ill, including young people with asthma, may forever have compromised lung capacity. Up to 30 percent less.

    1. @William Coulter I heard Dr. Gupta talking about the after effects of the virus & the long term damage to lungs. Guess what, Einstein? You are the one responsible for educating yourself. Don’t expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter. Type in any search engine: After effects of the Corona Virus….You’ll be surprise how easy it is.

    2. @Adventure54 I think you should take a breath and relax. I only asked for evidence. It should be standard to provide a source. It’s the best way to prevent misinformation.

    3. @William Coulter Evidence, really? Have you seen the amount of sites out there based solely on opinion. The Sean Hannity show, judge Jennine Pirro & others on Fox news….Russian funded RT TV, as an example, are opinion shows but people believe they are getting accurate information. The best way to prevent misinformation is being current based on your own research of reputable sites & it won’t be easy due to social media were no one is held accountable for their disinformation but they all look legit.

  4. I just watch to two old man baby boomers calling it a democrat hoax today. They were wearing a red hat. (I’m 69)

    1. So you are an old woman that saw 2 whole men say that……………….. LMAO maybe you shouldn’t ease drop

    2. @John Taylor eaves·drop

      /ˈēvzˌdräp/

      Learn to pronounce

      verb

      secretly listen to a conversation.

      “she opened the window just enough to eavesdrop on the conversation outside”

    3. @John Taylor Oh by the way I saw the two old man today and guess what the got rid of their MAGA hat and we had a conversation

  5. I’m a millennial and I took precautions at my DR’s appointment today with gloves and a mask. They all looked at me like I was crazy but I told them I was taking precautions. Not all millennials are ignoring the severity of this. A lot of us have people that could die because of us not taking things seriously. I do not want to be the cause of death for my mom, family, and friends. I’m trying to do as much as I can. I’m even cleaning my apartment and I usually don’t do that because I live alone. It’s better being prepared than under prepared.

    1. Healthcare is one of the best places to get bad bugs. You did good. To do even better – avoid healthcare unless absolutely necessary. And a “mask” is better than a handkerchief , but not by much. I would get something rated N95 as a minimum – which is probably not possible right now. Or even better a half or full face respirator that are usually rated at 99.97 % effective if my memory is correct. You may be able to still get them at welding supplies or industrial supply. Go to 3m for all kinds of information. Best wishes and wash your hands good before touch face.

    1. @a.m – Maybe it’s time the airlines industries, which after multiple bailouts have routinely used money for buybacks, dividends, and corporate excess, all done against the backdrop of not taking their customers complaints seriously (overbooking, small seats, charging for bags, etc.), needs to go bankrupt and start afresh with new companies competing for customers. Your argument is the same as the bankers that cried for bailouts. They too can stand in line at the unemployment office with the rest of Americans in a nationwide reshuffle and long overdue reorganization.

    2. @a.m Clearly you don’t. Your very selective about which industries should get bailed out and which shouldn’t. If the airlines industry is so necessary and can’t survive w/o taxpayer bailouts then maybe they should become nationalized like many other airlines. But Airlines and investors don’t want that. So effectively they externalize ALL the risk to taxpayers, don’t give them the service they are asking for, but after they are recapitalized post-bailouts they go back to wasteful incompetence and wasteful excesses.

    3. @Bot vr37.2 you don’t even know the difference between your and you’re. How can we even go back and forth. You’re not smart enough to argue with bye.

    4. @a.m I’m typing with a single hand. But clearly you aren’t able to even counter any of the points made. 💪

  6. Millenials? I mostly see older people out…as it 40+. My elderly neighbors, 77 and 81, are going out non-stop. Today they drove 90 mins to her eye doctor just to pick up her new glasses. WTF?

    1. According to the state Department of Health, there have been 3,360 confirmed cases of H1N1, 69 probable and 14 deaths statewide. In Fayette County, there have been 2 confirmed cases; no deaths. In Westmoreland County, there have been 64 confirmed cases, 3 probable; no deaths.
      This just pulled from a random news article from 2009 in PA

    2. Pink Crayon
      So you went out and talked to them to find out exactly where they went so you could whine about it? LMAO now you have it!!

    1. @a.m lemme just tell you this: what makes the UNITED States the UNITED States is UNITY, so not Hate, Fear and Despair. UNITY is brewed through Love, Courage and Hope. By being divided myself, alongside half this shithole of a country, you clearly represent a vision of making America great again FOR YOU and other racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist and prejudiced people LIKE YOU. It’s no wonder America has been torn apart. And when the chips are down and nobody shows up to fight your wars, that smokescreen will dissipate and you’ll realize the faults of your selfish actions.

    2. @a.m You can’t have things both ways. You can either have:
      A) A border wall, forcing people that you personally dislike to leave their homes, have your guns in hand and have an America that is tailored to you, at the price of alienating all of us “liberals”, “progressives” and “millennials” and teaching us you don’t care about us at all and you only care about a past, bygone era of nostalgia where white people were everywhere, Hispanics were, in your mind, “where they belong” and black people were slaves and therefore showing your children and grandchildren that you don’t care about them and they’d end up resenting you and the Republicans and Conservatives, making America completely divided

      Or

      B) we can work together, find a middle ground that is comfortable for all of us where we can earn money and make progress. We cam learn to set our pride aside and learn to live together, united. We can learn to bury that hate, encourage others and make civil compromises like opening up abortion clinics and making high-paying jobs and learn to live together, truly United.

      What will it be?

  7. Less than two weeks ago, these were Trump’s reassuring words of leadership about the coronavirus:

    “We have done an incredible job. We’re going to continue. It’s going to disappear. One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear. And from our shores, you know, it could get worse before it gets better. Could maybe go away. We’ll see what happens. Nobody really knows.” 😲
