    1. @Caro Abebe exactly! The students made it worth it. I just can’t battle the virus with my medical conditions. 😫😫😫

    2. I am so glad Dr. Michele Harper will go back to her first love – voodoo. Maybe then she will be hired to be MSNBC’s resident “doctor”. LMAO. Oh, btw, the media is lying to us once again on COVID-19. It seems Florida is reporting 1000’s of more positives than exist. I am shocked the medical industry and the media would lie to us. But at least the NBA will be back in Florida! What freedom fighters they are braving this pandemic while the rest of us shudder in fear like the media says to do.

  1. Do what vets do. Shove it in your hurt locker to reopen later under the supervision of alcohol and marijuana.

    1. @Bruce DaBuc I don’t drink or smoke dope! I bet you like the Demoncratic new anarchy socialist changes proposed don;t you?

    2. @Pam Deshane you live in the most socialist country in the American continent, apart from maybe 2, and don’t even know it…over 50% of the population needs a **monthly subsidy from government** to survive (how would you call that?…capitalism??)…and this has been accomplished by both parties!….I bet you have been assisted by a socialist program…and don’t even realize it!

    3. @Pam Deshane hohohohoho jajajajajajaja hehehehehe jijijijiji! I’ll write my laughter how ever i want buddy. You on the other hand haven’t gonne and read those books obviously.

  2. Jobs that actually matter and are most important are TOTALLY underpaid and treated with little respect…INSANITY of a shallow society.

    1. @Zebra Zagadore looting burning destroying attacking vandalizing every utopia sanctuary city why?

    2. @Allan Burns nope I got a real one from my Jesus! But your human overlords will create a magic potion/vaccine for you to inject to protect against the invisible ENEMIES!

  3. I am a physician and I can tell you she is exactly right. In my case, none of my kids will study Medicine. I will tell them “go be a Youtuber or something, develope the next hot software. Go into real estate or Wall Street. I will support you there. This job is a stressful and thankless job”.

  4. When the hospitals are full there is no extra medical staff. We are tired. We are tired of disingenuous people who can’t be bothered to listen to science. This is going to be bad and republicans own ever single bit of it.

    1. As much as I didn’t care for Goldwater, he warned Republicans about preachers. Today that means the sway that anti-science and anti-logic, Evangelicals have over the Republican Party.

    2. @Karen Byrd I don’t think we evangelicals have sway over today’s GOP. I think it’s the other way around. Trump has become many of my fellow Christians’ religion and he has led them into a very dark place.

    3. science – is a joke – political hacks falsify computer models to suit agenda – btw there is no one science ! the crazy fecks were predicting millions dead in uk – masks no good – good – not sure – feck it we got lots from china – wear them lol

  5. it would be better if the leaders in govt weren’t busy trying to ignore scientists and make masks etc a political thing

    1. Possibly but for nurses and doctors in best of times a pandemic would take its toll… they’er simply burnt out … and it could spell disaster for everyone forced to rely on public care.

    2. Not political but a question of freedom of choice! I will never wear one so I stay 7 ft away for extra safety! My choice not anyone else’s

    3. @briane596able I can’t get care as a veteran I have learned to rely on Jesus he is more reliable!

  6. Doctors all over the world are hero’s to their entire country, in America people purposely get covid19 to prove themselves wrong about a hoax their president ignorantly informed them it was, they die alone and full of regret. While the doctors tears of the dead and foolish riddle their faces.

  7. This pandemic has exposed the medics to lifetime trauma.

    The inneffective leadership from the WH has made matters worse for the medics. The Orange Clown at the WH has ruined fortunes of many Americans. How I wish he’d offered leadership from the time he was given intel on COVID-19!

    1. @JOHN KLINE because Ny a d other Dem states pay the taxes that fund the red states like Kentucky, Alabama, and many others, for starters.

    2. @JOHN KLINE . The money tRump used to bail out NY and other Democratic States is taxpayers funds. It wasn’t from his pockets. And had he not disbanded the taxforce which had been set up by the Obama administration, we couldn’t be witnessing all these infections/ deaths!

    3. @Job Okeno obama nearly bankrupt usa ! $8t on war – money to china all whilst millions more on food stamps – all our jobs going to china

  8. The US spent $686 billion on defense spending last year.
    The Corona has killed more Americans in 5 months than every war since WW2.
    Medical workers are this war’s front line, the boots on the ground. Thing is, they never signed up to work in warlike conditions, but they do and will. Thank you! 🙌🙏

    1. The US don’t really care about defending Americans. They care about feeding there defense contractor donors.

  9. I can´t say I blame her. It is always the same, people who do their civic duty are being clapped at the moment if the crisis or the war is over they are left in the lurch with their problems, and the billionaires laughing their way all to the bank. Sorry but nothing will change

  10. Football players get millions to kick a ball, when health care workers are on minimum wage, its a great way to honour people who save our lives.

    1. Football players do a thing people pay to watch. Why don’t you set up the live operation channel? That way advertisers can get in on the action and health care workers will be compensated like top athletes

    2. sandeep salvi… or taxpayer paying millions for the failed leader of this country to play golf is what you should have said

  11. Teachers in Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama & Mississippi make a measly $30,000 a year yet one of tRumps golfing wknds costs us Millions of Dollars! Wrap your head around that!

    1. Thats st8 up trooth rit there! I teech hi skool in Chicago and I so mad at racist Trump doing that white golf all the time while we gots neo nazis running round attacking us with bleach at 2 am while we just trying to get our Subways on. I teech my kids what MSNBC teeches me. RepubliKKons are no good at all and that all cops are racist and not to be never trusted. Only good cops r dead cops. Vote Blue if you want unity and love every1.

    2. Trump is leading our country to greatness. He deserves all the golfing and cable TV he needs. He saving your life and mine. They should look for another job if they don’t like it. MAGA!

    3. @Zorak0515 You have a very strange definition of greatness. 133k dead is not something to be proud of. We aren’t trying to be Biglyest in the number of dead. You have been Trumppanzeede

  12. If the vaccines are two years away why would the doctors and nurses stay that long risking their own lives for people that refuse to even wear a mask?

    1. angela bluebird60. The doctors have the education that they can transfer their skills into a completely different field where they would still work as a doctor but not the close one on one with patients.

  13. If you do not social distance and wear a mask, you should be denied medical care. Why should you get to inflict harm on others with no consequence to yourself.

  14. The protesters against wearing mask should volunteer to be health workers for covid 19 patients

  15. Absolutely. Guys buying and selling stocks on Wall Street make millions and doctors and nurses and support staff are paid peanuts. There’s got to be a serious reassessment of what is important
