      Another LYING, scare-tactic report to keep you watching. Anybody who still believes in this c-virus nonsense has low intelligence. Nobody is really sick from it.
      The billion dollar pharmaceutical industry and media have used strategically used scare-tactic images and reporting to turn this c-virus into the world’s biggest joke.

    1. @Wendy Gacsihere you are.
      Many are lacking in this skill.
      It is learned… Pretty much. If it isn’t taught at home.. Then it should be taught at school… Description below.
      /หŒkรคmษ™n หˆsens/
      noun
      good sense and sound judgment in practical matters.
      “a common-sense approach”
      Critical thinking skills
      Take care. Stay safe.

    2. @Wendy Gacsi Common sense is not so common. It must be republican. I am Irish and I deduced that just because the republicans are stupid following stupid in chief.

    3. Darlene Hawkins agreed and I just posted a response on another post. Itโ€™s a community effort right? We have to unite and stand together in the human experience. But divide and conquer is perhaps easier! The same way that sometimes itโ€™s easier to believe an exciting lie over the boring truth? Questions and opinions thatโ€™s what I got. โค๏ธโœŒ๐Ÿผโ˜ฎ๏ธ. Stay safe

    4. Joseph Nagle they co-dependants in a toxic relationship! There are groups for that ๐Ÿ˜‰
      ๐Ÿ˜ŠโœŒ๐Ÿผ stay safe

  1. I’m starting to think that republicans don’t wear mask as a choice but because that technology is too sophisticated for their pea brains to grasp.

    1. Are they committing mass harikari by CV19, because they carry the shame of supporting President Of The Damned Trump?

  2. Wearing masks is not just a health issue. It’s also an intelligence test. No surprise that conservatives are failing that test.

    1. @Angel Navarro Your sarcasm and logic meter is beyond broken if you could see my tongue all but popping out of my cheek. Clearly I was mocking one of the incredibly stupid theories these idiots spout that masks are dangerous. C’mon, you know that couldn’t be real. I know wading through the ridiculousness is exhausting but surely farce isn’t THAT dead. No one thinks Disney workers playing Mickey and Donald are some death March and that was exactly my point that obviously went woshing over your head some how.

    2. @Angel Navarro I mean you didn’t follow the comment of the person I replied to or read all of mine, right? Almost no way you could so badly misinterpret otherwise.

  3. *Pride* of the south. ‘Good job’ Mississippi. Didn’t know that is what you meant by the South will “rise” again. Idiots.

    1. Their motif for their new flag is “Me No Teeth, and Proud.” Sorry but it has to be said.

  4. Oh, I feel so bad for them! (No, not really…just kidding). I feel bad for the vulnerable people who will die because of their selfish stupidity.

  5. Acting as if someone is immune from this coronavirus is both stubborn and stupid. Take all precautions if necessary !

    1. @Michele Lee I worked with chemical weapons for 15 years. All of the bad stuff, all man-made. There isn’t a person on this planet that would survive a chemical exposure from that stuff.

    2. @Michele Lee The same way you’d get immune to any other virus. But there is zero evidence that covid-19 is man-made.

  6. This is ridiculous! Wearing a mask doesnโ€™t require much. It’s simply health awareness!

    1. @T Electronix Wearing masks is NOT the only measure one can and should take. People need to understand the severity of covid-19. I have seen people arguing that they are young and are immune to the disease. I asked some of them whether they are okay *murdering* their elders by transmitting the virus to them, exposing them to the disease!

    2. @Perspective but we CAN recognize the people who will not take effective measures, as plain as the nose on their face ……

  7. WTH were they thinking? These ignorant fools chose to follow the Pied Piper in Chief on a merry dance.

    1. The Pied Piper in Chief did say he was going to clean out the swamp. Trump’s Killing off the Republican base….

    2. @Roland Moreno September 9th is the first court appearance by the Hildabeast for election tampering in 2016….

    2. Let’s face it… we can now officially call it the #TrumpPandemic — let’s infect America so Trump and AGBarr can postpone the #2020elections because they will claim its too unsafe to hold elections in November. Here’s a blocked talk on it https://youtu.be/wuM6OMhy3d0 — Help by sharing and liking. Thanks.

    1. You don’t have to believe in science just practice, pursue, ,and accept it.
      One is free to not believe in gravity all they want at least until the pavement meets then then theology and philosophy can have a stab at what you get to believe in next, I guess.

  8. The people who have chosen to not wear masks and socially distance should be denied healthcare. They have every right to take the risk with their lives but they are deliberately putting the lives of others at risk.

    1. Science needs to be at the forefront of our education system, what happens the next time we have an outbreak & people want the right to choose a mask or not. In the last 20 years there has been SARS, swine flu, Ebola, & now covid 19, what’s the next 20 years going to bring & how we going to handle it?

    2. Since I live in NYC and saw and experienced the true horror of Cov19.
      I’ve said the same about others States that said that’s them not is.
      Those who said we are sheep for wearing mask.
      Should sign a paperwork that they won’t take up medical supplies.

  9. We can’t open state capitols but the CLOWN wants us to open public schools !
    That’s CLOWN LOGIC !

    1. @Sheldon Gray
      Maybe !
      But we do not have to have a CLOWN attempting to lead us in something he knows Nothing About !

    2. If children are at home, then their parents have to stay home to watch them. If their parents stay home and watch them, certain sectors and jobs in the economy will not have people working. If certain sections of the economy remains closed, it will go against his narrative of “getting back to normal” or a “few fires and embers” or “the economy is back stronger than ever”. If reality differs from his narrative, he will not be able to persuade the American public of “a job well done”, and would influence his election chances.

    3. @Leann Hocus Pocus
      I don’t care about a CLOWN’S election chances more than I care about the life of my child !
      That is still CLOWN LOGIC !

  10. Just goes to show you our government doesn’t care about the health of Americans, ( NOT EVEN THEMSELVES) VERY SAD

    1. The Rethuglicon goal …. To spread the virus , create fear , instigate division , corrupt elections and do it handily on our tax dollars. Don’t ask why , VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO !!

    2. @winesap2 Ummm California? highest rise in cases.
      NY? Gov Cuomo forced covid patients into nursing homes. He even opened beaches for Memorial weekend during a time that 25% of NY was infected. Highest rate of infection in the world.
      Lastly Biden called the China travel ban overreacting and racist.
      Yeah, Democrats have nothing to brag about!

    3. Too much money on the line. We pay people to break their bodies for money, this is the natural course of that trajectory.

    1. @adsotbraz
      Hey, Little Girl!
      I have a video of a unicorn eating daisies in my backyard!
      Wanna see it?
      It’s real!
      ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    2. @Richard Brautigan ….. Believing in the c-virus pandemic is the equivalent of believing in unicorns.

    3. The ventilator might look good on them it would stop them BS to the people they are meant to serve.

    4. @Robert Sharp now you are a specialist/scientist/doctor or you just listened to rightwing media?

    5. ๐Ÿคช How about that
      Mississippi!!!???
      ๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿค’๐Ÿคง๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿค’

  11. The sheer level of stupidity and just desserts would have me laughing, if not for all the sadness they are inflicting on the regular people..

  12. I wouldnโ€™t wish Covid-19 on anybody, but goddammit if this isnโ€™t a prime example of instant karma, I donโ€™t know what is.
