Despite the fact that 71 percent of Americans fear re-opening schools would be a public health risk in the era of COVID, the Trump administration is pushing all schools to open. Meanwhile, a teacher in Arizona has died recently from the virus after returning to work. Kimberley Chavez Lopez Byrd was 61. Her colleague Jena Martinez-Inzunza and MNSBC Medical Contributor Dr. Kavita Patel join “The Beat” to discuss school re-openings. Martinez-Inzunza calls Byrd’s death “devastating” and argues “we’re not in a position in our community” to open schools. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 7/14/2020.

Arizona Teacher Dies As Trump Pushes For School Re-Openings | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
He doesn’t care about anyone but himself..if one of my teachers or students die it will be devastating..
Just not to anyone in Trump administration.
@velt Ski Like Faux News is reliable…..
@Jacob McMahan thanks ski much ski
@TheMercilessEye Whoosh
@Jacob McMahan Gesundheit.
My child had a teacher die in elementary school. It was devastating and affected them for years. Trump doesn’t really care about that.
Did trump have any words of condolences? Did he really hear that question and just go straight to “ Schools must open” without acknowledging this tragic death?
Emsley Wyatt Elaborate.
What a POS!!!
@John Dozier He’s not a psychopath, he’s a sociopath. Sociopaths, in general, tend to be more impulsive and erratic in their behavior than their psychopath counterparts. While also having difficulties in forming attachments to others, some sociopaths may be able to form an attachment to a like-minded group or person. Unlike psychopaths, most sociopaths don’t hold down long-term jobs or present much of a normal family life to the outside world.
I believe he did.
🙁
I prefer a president who always wears a mask. I prefer a president who cares about people, one who doesn’t spread disease and one who doesn’t try to strip healthcare from millions of Americans during a pandemic. Make America Great Again In November 2020. Vote Donald Trump OUT!
@LG Roots ya, we kinda got that…., moron….
Then move to Russia.
LG Roots the lady that died was faked? Wow. Man I was fooled for a sec. what’s amazing is how Fox and trump aren’t fake and are actually saying what they’re saying. Amazing really how Trumplicans buy their bs. The Trumpageddon has begun. NaNu NaNu
One question. How did she get sick if they wore there mask? Masks save lives.
#DUMPTRUMP2020
Ask if Barron Trump is going back to a public school to show an example
He is going to Trump university.
Basically means yes daddy what ever you want
If that would guarantee his reelection believe me he wouldn’t think twice!
Mr. Trump is wrong again. No one is playing politics. People are scared for their lives.
@YouRuse is A leftist org right…….certainly wear your heart on your sleeve….
@YouRuse is A leftist org Trump didn’t handle the pandemic with care U see how most other countries are there doings ok that alone shows that he is not ready to lead
libsrtraitors you’re pathetic attempts at stirring up civil unrest are feeble and a complete failure. You don’t have to live in that vodka soaked shitpile you call a life you can move on.
YouRuse is A leftist org you’re not very good at this and you won’t be receiving payment for today’s activities
Uriah Heep it’s a paid troll.
Sociopaths are running your country. Can’t you see that. Trump forgets he has a son. lol
trump should have been removed from office last year!
Trump was supposed to be removed from being the president few months ago but I guess he didn’t he is annoying outsider that thinks he’s better than everyone he sickness me to even look at him .
Republicans will pay in November for their complicity and cowardice
waaaambulance….🚑
@Roger Wilco Nice Kool Aid.What brand is it?
The only politics that was going on was yours Trump almost 4 month delay an admitting that it was a virus and not a hoax. Trump can be presidential if his life depended on it he’s nothing more than a con man .
From Trumps first accusation of Coronavirus being nothing but a Democrat hoax he has done nothing but politicize and personalize a public health emergency to the detriment of Americans health and economy.
They have no idea, no action or solutions for how to solve a National health and economic disaster and how to keep kids, support staff and teachers safe in schools.
“What do you say when a teacher died and parents are worried about the safety of their children?”
SCHOOLS SHOULD BE OPEN????? This is what you get when bozo the clown is your president.
Yeah,don’t forget:With 3,000,000 cases and 135,000+ deaths!
Trump insists that we sacrifice ourselves, our children, for his massive ego.
@Harold Moops
Fake comments from a fake patriot who licks the boots of a fake president. Putin won the 2016 election not the USA. Why did you delete your comments. Too much pressure for you??
@Harold Moops Oh, and I noticed you didn’t answer the question, so here it is again, what “path” did trump “offer” months ago that would have “reduced the hospitalizations and deaths enormously”? And did that include injecting disinfectant?
@Seitrey King Ooops again… OUR PRESIDENT
@Harold Moops Well if that’s so, why is you original comment not above their responses? “jackleg”?
Jim jones, drink up 🙂
I think that trump thinks he’ll serve an be re-elected trump not a chance we’ve had enough no matter what you do you’re not gonna win
He knows he doesn’t have a chance so he’s trying to destroy this country anyway he can before he’s removed.
@2be Blunt tbh i have a feeling hes gonna somehow rig the election so he’ll win another term. I really hope that wont be the case.
Spoken like a true sociopath. There will be no guilt, no apologies, no shame, and no sense of remorse coming from a narcissistic sociopath like Trump.
Trump pretty much checks every box for the diagnostic criterion of a sociopathic narcissist.
~Manipulative and Conning:
They never recognize the rights of others, and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They seek out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired.
~Shallow Emotions:
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion, it is more feigned than experienced, and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would usually upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises..
~Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt:
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, he has victims, and accomplices, who will also end up as victims. ( Cohen, Manafort, Stone, Flynn) The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way…
~Callousness/Lack of Empathy:
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others’ feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
~Pathological Lying:
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities..
~Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature:
Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
~Irresponsibility/Unreliability:
Not concerned about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
Some of the problems a sociopathic narcissist like Trump will face include: Trouble handling criticism, easily becoming impatient or angry if they don’t think they are being treated correctly. They feel easily slighted. They try to belittle others or react with rage to make themselves seem superior. They have trouble adapting to change and dealing with stress. They secretly feel insecure, vulnerable, and humiliated, and have a very fragile self-esteem.
Yup, I did the research to figure out what the problem was with my Ex brother in law. He checked all the boxes, starting to get savvy with these types of people. They are dangerous.
@Keith Stirland
Indeed they are.
That makes so much sense…
The Betsy DeVos child death march will not be tolerated. Keep your kids out of the Trump Petri dish!
SOOO SAD 😢 !!! SOOO CALLED PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER IN THE WORLD 🌍 !!! GOD BLESS ALL AMERICANS !!!
It’s not sooo called. He IS the president. Instead of whining over him get a job!!
@Cheeki breeki communism Stay cheeki breeki, my friend!
@Ron Swanson Except perfectly healthy people have still died from this virus. Trump and his supporters dont care how many die, its all about politics for them.
George Fields even the ones in chynah? Did You know the governor controls the state? 😭 she looked so healthy, the weak should stay home . Let the rest do as they will
@Brother Sanguinary CHEEKI BREEKI COMERADE!Sheild yourself from all these trolls!
The is sad. The blood of every American is on Trump’s hands and if you support him you’re just a guilty .
@Cheeki breeki communism i will never betray my country and my nations flag in order to stand over any body in tyranny.
I’m American.
@Jim J Care to elaborate?
@Jim J you a Russian not American and probably Racist too Moron
@Jim J How can you possibly be so lost? I voted for Bush Jr and McCain….this is a disaster…
@George Fields ROTF HA HA
No teacher who is older or who has any other risk factor should agree to return to school until Covid is controlled. It’s suicide.
If it’s time to retire for some teachers I would it’s not worth it
Don’t open the schools 😡 I’m not going to send mine. They’re going to be home schooled till the Trumpandimic is over.
Ronda Leistiko that’s totally stay at home mom speak with a husband that pays all your bills = privileged
It’s from chynah. Your governor controls your state, not Trump. Yes plz never leave your house again thanks 🙏
Trump doesn’t care, teachers never could teach him anything, the nations most stable genius has the IQ of a rock.
That’s insulting to rocks. Remember he aced the dementia test and can point out animals when presented
@eltham treehugger
The very stable genius is a moron who makes rocks look good.
Steve, you are talking about IQ? How smart do you have to be to know that Trump is not responsible for this teacher’s death? Someone with a 70 IQ would know
@Ron Swanson So a coach is not responsible for a team’s loss? A police chief is not responsible for the poor training of his officers? Trump from day one of this virus has been making the worst decisions. You might have noticed other countries with way fewer deaths/million. You may have noticed countries whose economies started back up a long time ago and even a few that experienced minor hiccups only. You may have noticed countries that followed a path similar to Trump like Brazil. A person with a high IQ might would understand that leadership matters a great deal. Lastly, even a person with very low IQ should be able to see that leadership failed in the US.
@Ron Swanson Trump and the republicans take no responsibility for anything anymore. This country sucks hard right now, but those in charge have NOTHING to do with it?????
“Your losing a lot of lives by keeping things closed” -the actual president. No, not lives, money. He means we’re losing a lot of money, not lives.
@Jacob McMahan No this is how I mock imbeciles for whom I have no regard whatsoever. ^ ^
He lost soo much money….
@TheMercilessEye you must mock yourself a lot.
He is so selfish it’s hard to even comprehend
@Jacob McMahan No, just fuckwits like your pal, the botnik. xP
