  1. #MEDICARE AND UBI FOR AMERICANS
    FOR OUR ESSENTIAL WORKERS
    FOR OUR FAMILIES
    FOR OUR COMMUNITIES
    FOR LIFE.

    1. All that you seek is available right now, government-run healthcare free college and a check
      Go see your recruiter today

    2. @snoop alert I am advocating for universal healthcare for my fellow Americans.

      The armed forces wouldn’t take a person at my age. And I’ve known too many veterans, homeless sometimes, to believe that spiel.

  2. I thought the CDC was given the money to do this months ago. They still haven’t hired the ppl who should be doing this! So now it’s up to the states. Figures.

  3. Step One, put a quarter of a million people back to work. Step Two, use those workers to put millions more back to work.

  4. EVERY ONE CAN DO EVRYTHING TIL THEY HAVE TO GO TO WORK THEN MEALS TRAVEL MILEAGE ANDNYES HEY IAM TIRED GET OVER IT IY WONTWORK

  5. I want to be tested for Covid-19 & you’d have to be out of your mind not to want to be tested as well!

  6. National contact tracing? Here in Australia we have an app for that.
    It’s anonymised to a degree (and impossible for regular users to see) but it enables bluetooth on your phone and notes the ID of other people that have been close you. If someone tests positive, the admins can access a list of everyone you’ve been close to. Smart and much simpler contact tracing. Not perfect … but really useful right now.

  7. Wonder why Fauci didn’t recommend quarantine and contact tracing for a virus that was 100% lethal and more easy to track because of small population/behaviors that spread it?

  8. Chrissy Houlahan where have you been hiding these 5 months . I’ve seen these groups in action throughout the world for years . They are given a job , they set targets , they work for possible victims , and complete target . What is the Trumps family target what is their completion rate? apart from DOLLARS . The countries with low death rates have done 3 jobs
    well–TESTING—-CONTACT TRACING —-ISOLATION—– Must be completed quickly.
    SINGAPORE—-21 dead
    AUSTRALIA—–98 dead
    NZ——————-21dead
    USA —————-83,664,dead
    LOOK AT THE NUMBERS WHILE TRUMP IS CONGRAULATING HIMSELF and CRY , CRY FOR THE THOUSND MORE EVERY DAY.

  9. Trump couldn’t possibly have any supporters left, you really have to be naive to be on his side.

  10. Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man `unclean. ‘ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

  11. Anyone with these symtoms: Fever, Chills, Repeated shaking with chills, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat, loss of taste or smell, cough or shortness of breath gets an automatic, PRESUMED diagnosis of covid. This is why there is such a high number of cases. 2 of the 3 CDC facilities that supplied covid test kits were contaminated and people who have had the flu shot gave false positives. These are facts. Death certificates will say you died of covid if you test positive even if covid had NOTHING to do with the death. Wake up America!
