Houston Area Hospitals Running Out Beds For COVID-19 Patients | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
*Plz Stay Home Save Your Life & Others*
No, it’s pointless. WuFlu is more of a political virus for an election year. Most WuFlu hospital beds went unused the first time. Death rates are way down and dropping. Testing has increased so we are detecting more infections, but infected and dead are different. 86% of people never knew they had it and 99.74% of people survive it.

American needs a competent president
Stupid
America needs literacy.
Also ideally a president that knows stuff, and maybe with some sort of moral compass to begin with.
Yup, that would be neat ^^. Somehow that does sound like the strict minimum, but trump cultist seems to hold ignorance, incompetent and immorality in high regard…
@Kevin McNeil Yes, tRump is stupid and dumber than a rock. Glad you noticed.
The sad part is the lockdown had prevented this. Trump trying to force states to open before they should, has not only wasted months of good work, but will render everything pointless.
The only thing worse than the painful lockdown, was a half assed lockdown. All of the pain, none of the results. And, for what? Donny’s PRIDE? Are we f**king INSANE that we ALLOW THIS?
The most infected states now are those with the trump butt kissing Republican Governors such as Florida.
@Ash Roskell Also the fact that it was known this would happen. But how do you get through to the selfish dumb people who don’t care?
@s b The mask deniers don’t care, they think because they are healthy it doesn’t matter.
@Dave Ponsford: Many of them don’t believe in reality anymore. It sounds crazy, but that’s only because it is.
Who said that people were wearing masks just to make him look bad? Why doesn’t he have it?
You people are lowlifes and ignorant all you do is blame Donald Trump. Do you know on average more than 7 thousand people died everyday in the U.S.. More than 2.8 million people died last year in the U.S. alone. If Donald Trump didn’t stop the flights from China or Europe 1% of the U.S. population could have died from the coronavirus that is 3.3 million people. Instead of you lowlifes blaming Donald Trump for all your problems. Why don’t you do your part to mitigate the coronavirus staying home if your sick. Wear a condom in your entire body if you think that will help you prevent from getting the coronavirus, eat healthy, stop drinking, stop smoking, exercise, and etc.
Funny how Maddow will not mention the hundreds of thousands in the streets right when everything was starting to open. No, she will blame the Trump rallies, all two of them.
@C.J. DrakVolken careful who you call the antichrist 🙈🙉🙊
ryvr madduck funny how you trump turds do the same thing over and over again, distract, distract distract….
@C.J. DrakVolken Distract from what, a fraction of one percent of the population killed by the PLANdemic?
1.) Stay home if you can.
2.) Wear a face mask.
3.) Wash your hands.
4.) Stand six feet apart.
@barry Carey oh God Barry please stfu
Stevan R. That’s your intelligent response……STFU! Well done you for a 2nd time of having nothing intelligent to say. You really are a true representative of your cause! I can hold an intelligent conversation contact me again when you can. People that only use insults generally can’t converse in logic!
@Stevan R. Rioters are immune from WuFlu according to the CDC and MSM. Young people in grocery stores is what we have to worry about. My local news said rioters are not the cause of all the new cases in FL. It’s just crazy.
Except to loot and destroy

Maddow’s “I’m Not a Real Journalist” Defense Prevails in Court

Any belief that Rachel Maddow is a journalist was set to rest in a San Diego federal courtroom on Friday, with a federal judge dismissed a defamation lawsuit brought against Maddow. The judge concluded that Maddow was far too silly to be taken as a credible news source.
The lockdown was a monstrous effort to hold Covid 19 at bay. The result has now been blown to smithereens in just a few weeks. Thanks for nothing to those Republican idiots responsible.
All those Trump rallies are evil spreading this virus again. The peaceful rioters had NOTHING to do with this, sure.
It’s funny how the Republicans said months before that it was only a blue state problem. Now that it is hitting the red states you all change your tune and now say it’s because cities are run by Democrats. It will eventually get to small towns and rural areas run by Republicans. The virus has no political affiliations.
@flipgurujn The blue state problem is the rampant rampaging peaceful protestors burning, looting and setting up communist encampments. This current virus crisis is being manufactured by the media.
Yes, but this is something I simply do not understand… why do everyone say that democrats are commies? Is it because democrats want to slaughter christians and murder cops like the commies did in Russia? Or what?
Akela DeWolf Arizona, florida, and Texas, all red states, are the worst places in the country
First we had Trump and now we have Corona-19 (as Trump calls it).
Now we have both Trump and COVID-19—Double jeopardy for America!
@David Hale silly david with the lack of reading comprehension……calling you a country of morons is not racist…calling covid the kung flu is totally racist just like your moronic racist dear leader
Allielump now your contradicting yourself. First you said it’s not rascist now your saying it is. Make up your minds. That’s the problem with you two faced hypocrites. You flip flop and contradicting both faces.
Your words. “ maybe it’s a slur but not rascist “ and you weren’t talking bout calling someone a moron.
Because I didn’t respond to you calling him a moron.I was committing on the use of Kung flu.
So come on.
@David Hale once again ,,sharpen your comprehension skills…something trunt supporters lack desperately
Allielump yeah ok. Two face.
So now your saying you didn’t say it?
Hilarious
Why did Cuomo order infected people into nursing homes
Trump is flying in on his Pegasus with Bleach and Lysol to save everyone right now. Pence is close behind wielding his magic Halo modified to shoot UV light and blessings as well. Relax everyone, we’ve got a con man and fake christian leading the fight.
@Don Hardcastle yeah, that sounds pretty funny coming from someone who sounds like their balls are pretty much all in their mouth.
@A so far, I’m the only one here with facts…
@Don Hardcastle yeah, of course you are. Your facts kinda remind me of the fat slobbish guys at the gym, who try to give their advice on how to get healthy and fit as fact. It’s not hard to look at them, and see how their facts are pretty worthless in reality.
@A patience Grasshopper…….
The fall winds will be blowing cold….
@Don Hardcastle yeah, again you just spew out BS, trying to mimic something greater than yourself. That speaks volumes about your mentality and delusional arrogant ignorance. Maybe you should just stick to training the cheeseburgers and beer crowd. Probably more susceptible to following your facts as you say.
Trump is a sociopath.
Sociopaths love nothing more than to to cause suffering, death and destruction. Covid-19 is a perfect tool.
Pity he wasn’t a masochist, at least it isn’t catching.
Like cuomo?
@King OfTroy
Are you proud of being stupid?
Remember when the Blue states were pleading for resources and Cheetolini was holding them back from them and giving them to Red states whose governors were effusively praising him? Well where is he now? And for that matter has TX Gov. Abbot sounded the alarm at the WH?
no… that didnt happen
Your Vjay jay is showing 🤣
I think this is what you call karma. If you ask enough for something God will give it to you
K A R M A !!
Texas: Don’t mess with Texas.
Covid 19: Didn’t get the memo.
@Lucius Kiirus Hmm..Its worldwide..no country unaffected. Kinda destroys your lame deluded claim eh Boris?
Texas has 29 million people 2324 people have died from the coronavirus. That is 1 out of 13,000 people just incase you didn’t get the memo.
It’s is fascinating how not ONE single peaceful protesting rioter got the virus or spread the virus, not one. That is just science I guess. But in just two Trump rallies, one of which was mocked for only have six thousand attendees, are fully responsible for the current plandemic crisis. Again, it’s just science, I guess.
Rino Ponce Yeah, And only 10% have it. Can you do math?
@Kevin Heintz Three million infected in the U.S. is only about 1% not 10%. Worldwide is about ten million which is less than 1%, and that is infected not killed. The number of deaths is half a million, which is less that one tenth of one percent. You have a better chance of getting hit by lightning than get the virus.
This is so dumb – a little bit of clarity on face masks from the top can reduce spread by 50% helping the hospitals/health care workers and the economy – Trump is a failure, face masks are decent, not political!
@Paul Wilson No!!!
Joe Biden coughs in his hands
@Paul Wilson Then why aren’t condoms political? HIV/AIDS is a public health issue too, but I have never seen people up in arms and completely against condoms because of political ideologies.
@Paul Wilson: There is no good reason to make mask political. The only reason is ignorance and self-righeousness, to turn public health safety into a political issue.
Uncle Ed Dafuq does that have to do with anything? All I hear is wah wah wah, if only we found Hilary Clinton’s emails, there would be no virus created by George Soros in Chyna – effing sheep.
It’s too bad that Republican governors are placing their citizens at greater risk. They are only following tRump’s lead and downplaying the COVID-19.
End the irresponsible and reckless leadership and VOTE BLUE in November.
Absolutely. I live in Texas, a red state. Yet here we are dying and getting sick with less testing sites now. How do Republicans defend this behavior? Trumps is murdering innocent people by sitting on his fingers.
Double check your facts, 5 dem govenors being investigated to placing cov positive patients in nursing homes defying federal guidelines.
You….are outta your mind.
@Cody shame on you…
Trump Logic;
More pregnancy testing leads to more pregnancies 🤰
@Rino Ponce right on!!
That’s funny. LOL!
@King OfTroy But the equivalent of 3 jumbo jets full of passengers are dying in the USA per day… are you stupid?
@Mo A fat people, poor people🤷♂️
@King OfTroy nope it’s affecting everyone, mainly older people… either case, american life is american life. Last I checked your dad Trump is pretty fat.
I wish they would give me an interview. I called this virus and the movements before it came here. I warned people about what’s happening now. Mask up or die early. This virus is all year around.
Ohh yes because ur the virus expert,the all knowing one,hahaha u didn’t know anything about the hoax pandemic
@]{]{ ]{: Well, I had my dream vacation planned with take-off February 8th. I canceled it a week in advance. After all, it was obvious in the middle of January what was going to happen. Go back and listen to what the WHO were telling us in January and ask yourself why you were not told and why you were manipulated into thinking it was just a hoax.
How can that be? Mr. Pence said today that US has Covid under control, that we have hit a plateau. Could it possibly be that our VP is lying once again?
Could it possibly be that you believe what you’re told to believe by corrupt politicians celebrities, and mainstream media fake news propaganda?
tinyurl.com/y7ud87fg 👈😳
@William H Music 2020 Go away, ignorant troll.
like he lies to his wife every day when he claims he’s heterosexual? probably.
Remember when you tards said we would start a war with north korea?
Remember when you tards said a Chinese trade war would destroy our economy?
Renember when you tards said the net neutrality repeal would destroy the internet?
You betas are all known liars.
p Chinese trade war is destroying your country 🤡 oh and the Chinese are winning 🤡
Trumpvirus 120000+. He has so much blood on very small hands. Trump first USA second always
TRUMP DELAY: 127,000 dead
ACTED FAST: Australia = 102 dead
(Don’t start about ‘per capita’… adjusted means Australia would have 1,326 – still doesn’t explain the horrendous delay & testing screw up in the USA to get such tragic numbers)
@Colleen Kelly They acted early, did effective contact tracing. This crisis is not political and there’s no benefit for them to not report their actual numbers. They did things that work for their country. Sadly, not all countries acted with urgency and work on this crisis that would be best for them.
@Rockd In other words…Trump is responsible for hundreds of thousands dead.
@Colleen Kelly well of course, leaders are always responsible to whatever is happening to their country…be it stupid decisions or lack of it, it is their role to lead their country
@Colleen Kelly I don’t think Namjal was doubting the Australian figures. Many countries did react quickly. Vietnam did react quickly .
@Namjai Konthai Well done. Vietnam. I would so love to visit the Mekong. I hope to visit when Australia and Vietnam opens.
When guns don’t help, you are actually a helpless country
@TheMakiavelli One funny thing is that China, the ultimate communism super villain, is acting more like a right-wing country these days.
@eisenwater THere is a saying: If you are too far to left you will end up to the right. You are right sir
@TheMakiavelli Well, I don’t think China has went that “far left” though.
@eisenwater Its because they are emulating socialism. its just an authoritarian dictatorship.
@TheMakiavelli Yes, and things get really interesting when China start to push “family value”, Islamophobia and anti-leftwing (they call the western leftwing “baizuo” which means “white left” and laugh at them). I used to joke about that “We are part of the good old conservative family”.
A dollar was more important to the governor of Texas than the health of the citizens sad
Doesn’t this remind you of this movie?

But it is a false dilemma, since the costs of the disease are much higher than the cost of having people stay at home, even ignoring the fact that many will have to stay home because they are sick.
