‘Universal Masking’ Is Crucial In Preventing Second Wave Of Coronavirus | The Last Word | MSNBC
One positive side to this covid is that no one has died from cancer, heart attacks, pneumonia, flu, or old age this entire year.
@Dream Wolf Wow, That is so sad to hear that. I heard about insurance companies not wanting to pay out too.
I’m only speaking for what I see going on around me not what news or somebody tells me
With what I have witnessed outside and around people this whole time there is nothing out of the ordinary but on TV besides the fact we’re all locked down with no freedom and treated like mentally disabled farm animals
justmichelle71 hospitals get $13k per Covid case and $39k per Covid death…so they have a large incentive to list deaths as Covid. The CDC coding guidelines do not require a positive test even, it’s at the doctor’s discretion. You can read the guidelines on the CDC website. My cousin’s 2 children had fevers and coughs and their doctor insisted it was Covid, but their mother insisted on them being tested and it was not. I don’t necessarily believe that inflating the numbers is happening everywhere. The town I live in has only had about 18 cases and there was one death but it was an extremely elderly man in his 90s. None of this makes any sense. Dr. Burks openly said that anyone that dies with Covid is on the death list. So we have no idea how deadly this virus really is at all, none. It’s kind of infuriating. And insisting that people wear masks is ridiculous, masks do not protect from viruses, viruses are too tiny and masks cause people to touch their face more than they ever would without one. So the risk of exposure becomes much greater. I read an NIH study and a Live Sciece study and they both stated that masks really did not do any good at all. There have been lots of medical doctors and nurses making videos about this as well however YouTube has openly stated they are removing any videos that give information that conflicts with the WHO guidelines. Not even the CDC or the NIH, the WHO. All it does is make people feel a little more secure when actually it increases the risk of exposure. You also inhale more CO2 than normal while wearing a mask. I don’t understand why this whole thing has been so idiotic. I am sorry for your loss and the OP was being sarcastic because people that are dying from all of the things he listed are being listed as dying from Covid quite often. If I went into the hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest and tested positive for Covid, Covid would be listed as my cause of death. That makes absolutely no sense. Again I believe it is at the doctor’s discretion so there probably are some doctors that would not list it as the cause of death in that situation because they have some morals. But I’m sure there are also a lot of hospital administration’s that want that $39,000 and amoral docs who happily oblige .
@Appable A relative of ours had a baby and Phoenix Arizona the hospital was empty a nurse told my mom in North Carolina the hospitals empty there I’m in Las Vegas the hospitals are empty here also over in Europe I’m only speaking with my personal experience that’s all
The “ no math network” has zero credibility.
SInce when MSNBC become Faux news?
@Linda Dustin, I agree with you. *Yesterday in the San Diego, CA beach area they declared that keeping 6 ft. of distance is safer for those <> than for those <> on the sand who maintain 6 ft of social distancing. On that whim, police patrolled the seafront to stop anybody from standing or reclining there. Yep! What <
Reuben Ahmed MSNBC doesn’t know how to tell the truth
Anyone who gives the impression that he knows all is hiding something.
@Maximus Wolf So if someone spends all of their time trying to figure something out, they should be ignored? Cool.
@John Doe Let’s listen to the village drunken hillbilly over a scientist!
@Reuben Ahmed should you listen to an American. Over 50% of the adults can’t read or write pass an 8th grade level.
Word
@John Doe Exactly.
I found a cure for the Coronavirus. Simply stop watching the news.
John Phantom Any extended amount of time where a government is losing money rapidly is a long time in terms of finances, whether it’s 20 years or 100
@Alex Belcher Your short term thinking, moron. And it didn’t start with Bush, this goes as far back as Nixon at least.
@Alex Belcher Seriously, have you ever heard the saying, “Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it”?
John Phantom So wait, did Clinton balance the budget or did he not? Because that’s what you said. Now you’re saying something completely different. Stick to a story.
Great comment.
“We don’t have masks so you don’t need one”. “We have masks now so it’s illegal to not wear one”. Sincerely, your government.
Ozzman Osgood but Santa Claus could get stuck😀
I heard menards is making you buy a mask for a dollar if you don’t have one. Menards motto “the big lots of hardware”
@supershroom164 but he can speak english and you….not so much.
edstimator1 Oooooooh you are so funny.
Ozzman Osgood I agree with you on virus size. But the virus isn’t airborne “yet”. Which means it’s needs a mode of travel. Moisture droplets from sneezing, coughing, mucous in general. So a 95 mask will help but I wouldn’t wear but once because after the moisture dries out you could just be inhaling the virus
I disagree with Dr. Vin Gupta about what we’re seeing on the “front lines”. I have been an ER Nurse for 22 years and traffic thru the ER has NEVER been do slow. Let me say it again, It has never been do slow in the ER. Half our hospital is shut down and ICU is mostly empty.
He may be speaking the truth from his experience, but my experience is WAY different. Any other nurses out there want to weigh in? I’m curious to know what the experience of my colleagues across the country has been.
@John Doe Yeah there’s always the potential for a lead safe to fall on your head once you step outside too.
Empty in Atlanta ga. Furloughing RNs. Pay cuts to doctors at wellstar.
@Play ForeverRN I have a feeling Gupta is a paid stooge, on MSNBC’s payroll.
No surprise that ER’s are slow. It’s doctor’s like this guy, going around and creating an atmosphere of fear. That make people think that if they walk into a hospital, their coming out of it with covid19.
@Lauren Fingerson But they can’t go in for anything but an emergency anyway, because the rest of the hospital is closed down do to unjustified and unwarranted fear.
It’s so good to see people waking up and see truly purpose of TV ( tell a lie vision)
It’s not that normal. TV refresh rate causes your mind state to slip to a hypnotic condition that opens your subconscious mind and allows unscrupulous networks to fill our subconscious with a desired world view. The mass mind-control experts in the CIA think it up, and send it to Gannett who “sells” it to the fake newsies including fox. All corporate news is wired to deceive us.
@BW MadDog [retired] ” TV refresh rate causes your mind state to slip to a hypnotic condition that opens your subconscious”
The refresh rate on your computer monitor gives you covid. Or so I heard from somebody.
Enter Taint Ment
enter (v.)
late 13c. entren, “enter into a place or a situation; join a group or society”
taint (v.)
1570s, “to corrupt, contaminate,” also “to touch, tinge, imbue slightly”
taint (n.)
c. 1600, “stain, spot,”
“There is precedent that the suffix -ment is derived from the latin mente meaning mind in some languages, particularly Old French. Words deriving from the mente sense generally have the suffix -wise or -ly, and are adverbial in nature. But, it is also from mentum – (instrument or medium).
“the suffix -ment(a/um) does actually derive from the same root as Latin mens/ment – ‘mind’

I think Dr. G and O’Donnell should put their masks on and keep quiet.
Yesssss because we all know if someone else is not wearing a mask yours does not work.. loony toons network
@MrLeermeister “we all know” ??? sounds like a losing argument
@Eileen Larson Tell me what I am arguing guy who does not get sarcasm.. Do you even know?
@MrLeermeister I don’t understand either of your comments.
@Eileen Larson Well I dunno what to tell ya, furrow your brow about it
And yes I’m low-wage and I can’t make it out to the Hamptons.
Guess you should have worked harder in school. I’m sure you have a great excuse for being a loser…
Edward Teach Well that’s rude
I just can’t with the pettiness…..
@Edward Teach People on low or regular incomes aren’t losers those who look down on them are. You need a lesson in humility.
How about universal muzzling of what passes for “news” sources.
@TheChoujinVirus China China China can you say china
@John Doe says a FASCIST Communist
@BW MadDog [retired] blinded are there Minds for they choose to be GOATS
John Doe how about both of them?
Tony Smith China actually does do that. They’re known as the “50 Cent Army”, though I doubt any are here, because they’re characterized by poor English skills, constantly bashing on America even when it’s never mentioned, praising China for everything and refusing to acknowledge anything negative about China, and citing the same few Chinese puppets as legitimate sources like the WHO or some other horrible news outlets that lost all credibility 6 years ago
AM NOT VOTING FOR NEITHER ONE OF YOU , COME OUT OF HER THATS WHAT THE MOST HIGH SAID
I’m not sure that’s english let alone what the most high said.
Snoop didn’t say that
come on her is what you’re trying to say loudly
reading these comments gives me faith in the future of mankind
Why, because we’ll thin out the population? Thanks, Thanos.
@John Doe No because it means not everyone drinks the MSM Kool-Aid and is a sheep like you….
It’s us versus them.
Lincoln6Echo tf is a sheep (besides the animal)
Seriously lol
Turn off your TV and Covid 19 disappears. Thats the truth
This is true, because it is only by the msm that we get FAKE NEWS.
More like the “Universal Unmasking” of the media is beginning to come to light.
Yep. I feel better now that I see that not everyone is believing everything the corporate media.
This guy wears his face mask in his car
Like a cap wearer? I just thought of that. Make sense?
You should shower and sleep with it on also.
Manny Gonzales save drooling on the pillow. Win. And saves washing it time. Win again. I’m up voting you because of your efficiency ideas
These people never want to talk about exercise, vitamins, good nutrition, rest, good relationships. That should tell you everything you need to know about how so many “health experts” approach wellness.
If I can help people I will anyway I can. If it doesn’t pertain to them they can move on. The news is fear mongering big time!
L3giTxSniPE Got a citation for that?
@Karl Irvin Right, your ilk needs a guiding authoritative hand for everything. Even the most fundamental basics of biology. A healthy organism is more likely to survive infection than a compromised one. Sorry that you won’t listen until a health “expert” goes on TV soon and says the same. Sheep.
L3giTxSniPE I’ll mark that down as a No.
@Karl Irvin Proving my point more than your dim mind could ever comprehend.
I just can’t believe anything on here anymore.
corporate media in general sucks but we need to listen to the scientists and doctors on this one.
J L wise thinking. Listen to diverse media, opposing views, science; truth isn’t from one person
@JB Bgin WRONG! 5 Globalist Corporations owns over 90% of the Worlds media. But I’m sure you are right, every narrative they send out is for THEIR, I mean OUR best interest!
NOOOBLUE PiLLSGiVEN I don’t mind being wrong on the journey to understanding. Truth and knowledge isn’t held exclusively by Trump surely.
Yes it’s better then Saturday Night Live. I can’t stop laughing!

Indubitably.
“Universal Masking!” There’s your new buzzwords folks. Sometime in June they’re going to try and make us wear the masks outside.
VA Gov (blackface) has just made a decree that all shall wear masks when in public! This is their plan and they will never recend the order
