  1. This was not a coincidence. From the thr prisons to the projects this is a genocide in plain sight.

    1. @Lisa Carr are you really that shallow that you believe whoever lives in the White House is what makes us number one, or 2, or 10? You’re either incredibly gullible or just plain stupid.

    2. @Spencer Anderson I don’t think that’s problem, like I stated before most African Americans are in the service line of work which put them in a direct line of close contact, AA for the most part are not closed minded just uninformed of the reality of covids effects and how it spreads..so, on Easter Sunday most evangelicals will be beligerant and ignore safety protocols in name of Jesus, and spread covids to the innocent persons that are trying to stay safe. Stay safe and protect others, all being selfish is no good to anyone.

  2. Exactly one month ago, Trump said: “No, I’m not concerned at all. No, we’ve done a great job with it.” As a result of his failed leadership, people go on dying …

    1. Be sure to visit yt channel … Brothers Barton …. We invite your comments on music and religion.

    2. @anne-marie Andrews Have any proof of your lie? You would think Epstein would of buried him huh? Cmon now. TDS since 2016.

    3. @strtngfrsh “Trump said Democrats ‘loudly criticized and protested’ his announced travel restrictions, and that they ‘called me a racist because I made that decision.’ Trump is overstating Democratic opposition. None of the party’s congressional leaders and none of the Democratic candidates running for president have directly criticized that decision.” — FactCheck.org (On TV, you must have heard Trump himself, and anyone who doesn’t think he could have done much more to prepare the country for this is out of their mind. The numbers speak for themselves.)

    4. Allan Burns : I think U give trump too much credit for thinking that up but I do agree it is something he would do. I do think we will find that he waited so he could make money off this tragedy. Our country does not do enough reasearch on colored, women and low income individuals in order to decrease chronic diseases especially women of color.

  3. They should NOT have revealed this info. Once trump realizes, that its mostly black folk getting hit, he DEFINITELY won’t want to help

  4. Am I the only person who see trump using briefings to replace rallies? He has proven for 3.5yrs he only cares about fostering hate/division and lining his pockets

  5. Watching t’rump struggle through the daily rallies on tv these days, I can see the pressure of doing the actual job of president and not being able to go golfing is a combination that is not going to end well. 🤔😄

    1. Ro G – He should just give up, lock himself in a room, and shove KFC into his face until his heart explodes.

    2. Struggle? He thinks he’s killin’ it, out there! 10/10. Fantastic job. Hydroxychloroquine…..etc.
      Definitely goes back to the Oval Office and gets the ‘task force’ to give him a round of applause, and tell him how great he was?

    3. @Johnnybhoy 3475 Remember, as long as 2.2 million Americans don’t die, then he considers that a great job. 🙄

  6. Thank you Dr. Ezekiel! Finally given the true answer. It’s about time we hear the real conversation. It will be here until a vaccine. Plain and simple.

    1. The truth needs to be heard and accepted as being true–for many ignorance is bliss, and for some it becomes their death.

  7. So-called Evangelical Christians that prop Trump up as an example of a Christian should be ashamed of themselves this includes Franklin Graham and 700 club there’s nothing he does that is of god

    1. @Lars Jones the majority of fetuses are swept from a woman’s body before she even realizes she conceived

    2. @Johnpaul Kane
      You’ve just proven why the world sees you tRump supporters as a cult.
      You refuse to hold his lying, corrupt a$$ to account. And you pretend he didn’t downplay the virus in the beginning.
      tRump has proven to be the clown we all knew he was. And the only term he deserves are the ones behind bars.

  8. It should make no difference about the colour of your skin – all of us are human beings and therefore should be treated humanely and should have access to basic rights. My heart goes out to you.

    1. @better dayz Wrong, other countries do not nearly have the level of poor health for the reasons you outline as the U.S., look it up. Also, a higher percentage of African Americans are working-class and in the professions that are deemed “essential” but also lack the benefits or the pay that would allow for healthcare access. This has been a problem for close to 100 years so this is not a new problem and can only be explained by systemic institutionalized inequity.

    2. @Nicoler BIK When I first started seeing the mortality rate I researched the health status of the countries hardest hit. I am very interested in the data from those countries pertaining to any health problems they had to see if any are the same such as diabetes, hypertension or obesity. I also learned that to be diagnosed as diabetic, African Americans have to pass a higher threshold than there white counterparts, which means delayed treatment. Thanks for the much needed reasonable reply. TC

    3. @better dayz I had heard that our health in the U.S. was far worse than other countries but I hadn’t looked into it recently. Good to see that someone is actually doing some research out there. I didn’t know that my community has to pass a higher threshold than our white counterparts that delays our treatment–I’m going to look that up, many in my family are diabetic. Thanks for this info, take care of yourself 🙂

    4. I know I have become cynical, but have to respond you’re so right but good luck with that.

    1. Templar Blob
      It’s mathematics you smart guy. Capitalism contrived a racist equation of dog eat dog. You’re ready for a loan from Drumpf University.

    2. Templar Bob
      When 30 billion people are on the earth… we’ll ask your question … “why are they poor?”. … and what’s wrong with Roe V Wade?

    3. Jeff Zabelski, I didn’t ask about the entire world. I want to know why there is poverty in America. Actually, where is this poverty? The poor in America aren’t poor compared to the poor in other countries.

    4. Jeff Zabelski, They are ALL poor? What’s wrong with Roe vs Wade? All leftists should be aborted and or sterilized.

    1. @Y B I’ll leave that to the experts. I think countries are targetting the most likely people. The 6% discrepency could possibly be resolved by a back up test. Educating people is the cheapest and best method. Many countries slashed their HIV infection rates with intensive campaigns which are still working today.

    2. @Guitar Works I think you misread my comment? It was sarcasm. As indicated by “the orange turd”.

  9. Asian countries are recovering because they’re testing like mad and isolating the infected. Let there be no mistake, this failure falls squarely on the shoulders of Donald J. Trump.

    1. @Wheatie Sweetie odonnel is the serpents head……maddow is the devils vagina…….TRUMP is your God.

    2. Don’t be so sure that they are all recovering; China’s claims are not to be believed and some other countries, while doing well, are merely controlling the outbreak.

      We all thought Japan was doing well; turns out that they were just in denial. Likewise, some other Asian countries do not have, will not provide, reliable figures.

  10. Poverty kills. It makes such a huge difference. We must stat taking care of EVERYONE in this country.

    1. barb moody, that’s easily the most ridiculous misinterpretation of conservatism I have EVER read!! Where do you get such garbage to leave on a conservatives doorstep? No conservative I know has ever said that people don’t want to work. The problem is with the people, that don’t want to work. There are plenty of us that do. But, the slackers want to take our money and live like parasites. That was fine when the ratio was 1000 to 1. Now it’s 2 to 1. Where did you get an absurd idea that conservatives are racists? I don’t understand your 2) at all!!! It makes zero sense! “Racist myths prop up conservatism”?!! Seriously?!! What does that even mean?!! Guaranteed living wage?!! Why?!! What do you not understand about economics? Clearly your lack of education is showing and THAT is main problem!!! We have allowed our schools to create misguided clones like you that think the world owes you everything. Naw, it ain’t like dat!! If we were to raise taxes on say, a dairy corporation. When they start paying those higher taxes, whatever you thinks fair, where is that money going to come from? Just out of the blue and everything else stays the same?!! Please!!!! You cannot be that dumb. Corporations don’t pay taxes, people, customers, MILK DRINKERS pay taxes!!! You just made milk more expensive! Feel better about the corporations taxes?! The taxes went up on you, not them. The real corruption in the game is in the swamp. The lying, leftist, big government, elitist, ruling class that hates President Trump and would rather see America destroyed rather than have their golden goose taken away. They have you payed for hook, line and sinker. Stick with that msm and believe their lies. Your life will never get better hating those of us that would rather do for ourselves and see you do the same. Let me close with a question.

      When you get paid from your job, who does that money belong to? Is that your money or does that money belong to someone else? Think about that. I would be interested in your reply. It’s not about “selfish”. It’s about self respect.

  11. Poor people do not even care as they have been marginalized by this administration. Furthermore, they have been robbed of their health insurance. This administration should be tried for manslaughter through sheer incompetence.

    1. Well Silvano, do you think after 8 years of Obama and decades of Democratic party rule had anything to do with this?

    2. He should never have been allowed to enter our White House, what is wrong, he is a dangerous man, has invested money with the Co. that made this latest lie our next disaster, one man has died from taking the medicine that he is pushing, he has filled the Govt Warehouses with a Malaria drug at the expense of the tax payer, how many more things does he have to do that we cannot
      Fix, like the poor Kurds, in Syria, mass murder, after they fought for the US, along side our brave soldiers.
      Before he kills off the rest of us
      With untested drugs, a lunatic.
      THIS COUNTRY HAS HAD NOTHING BUT BAD LUCK, SINCE HE CAME INTO THE WHITE HOUSE, PERSONALLY I HAVE HAD NO LUCK EITHER. RICK WILSON’S BOOK
      EVERYTHING TRUMP TOUCHES DIES.( how true) ✝️🙏💦💦💦
      All the White House people are afraid of him, if they speak out they get fired. Most of them have no- balls. He is ill bred. 🙏💦🙏💦
      Prayers and tears for America
      🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    3. @David Aponte check out what republicans in congress and senate did to help/prevent Obama. Funding, legislation, etc… of course state governments share part responsibility. There is plenty of blame to share, but Obama is not one of them. He did what he could, while republicans sought to sabotage him at every chance.

    1. I read yesterday that if the Midwest states did not have a case of covid-19, it is because they did not have test kits.
      The coroners were unable to confirm whether a person had died from covid-19 or not !!!
      The state of Wyoming was furious with Trump because they demanded it and didn’t have any.

    2. Pat Eldridge
      The cause of this is simple: Racesism. And that is going on since the first Afro Americans where disembarked of the ships who brought them.

    3. @Douglas Bedore
      THE PUSSYGRABBER KILLED THE GOP 😀 its KKK in red caps now ignorant redstate racists and TRAITORS

    1. I never understand why people push back on universal health care, I’m lucky enough to have lived in countries that have it and some that didn’t. To not have that available just seems like going back to the dark ages.

    2. @David M It may not be BUT ITS BETTER THAN NOTHING. You try and take the National Health away from UK and see what push back you get, then you will see what sort of regard it has there.

  12. If you’ve ever worked in a medical setting, thanks are often hard to come by. So happy to see them being appreciated.

  13. People without health care don’t go to the doctor, so they wait until they are at deaths door before going. So sad that America is so behind the curve with healthcare. All other civilized countries have healthcare for all. Very sad.

    1. That wouldn’t happen if we had better access to testing. The HMOs won’t test unless someone has a fever and a cough. A sore throat isn’t enough to qualify for a test. This is unacceptable and tragic because by the time someone has a fever and a cough, it could be too late.

    2. @Amanda Woods Who among us doesn’t have a pre-existing condition? Very few people are in perfect health. So what Trump wants is health care only for people, like him and his rich friends, who can afford to pay for it. He is a beast. BIDEN 2020

    3. In México the compannies pay a fee to cover Social Securit ,from the profits to all employees.

    4. Healthcare would be affordable and available to every American citizen of the government got out of it. That’s why it’s messed up.

  14. “D. Trump has 2 parts of brain, “left and right”. In the left part there’s nothing right, In the right part there’s nothing left.” LOL

    1. He has no redeeming qualities. However he is successful at destroying US democracy. He will be the 1st U.S. fascist dictator. RIP America.

    2. @D M

      It would be great (and more equitable) to compare trump’s intelligence to a roach.

      Unfortunately, trump would still lose because even roaches know how to survive a nuclear holocaust.
