Coronavirus Spread Threatens To Overwhelm US Hospital Capacity | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
But the President said it was a hoax? A Democratic hoax. Could it be that he was also wrong/lying about ALL of the “hoaxes”?
Spolier:
Yes.
@Troy Stocker : You don’t even really understand what globalism is. You have your Q anon wupty-doo version and you think that’s it. You’re so far behind, you think you’re in the lead.
@Troy Stocker : Oh thank you. You have just put in writing that you think the Chinese developed the coronavirus as a weapon against the West.
Pleas explain why tf they would release it in their own country, on their own people?
No wonder, Trump pretends he loves the poorly educated.
@Mary Berdjis medication time bing bong medication time
@mrhicks73 I’m an international lawyer, speak and write in many languages. Who are you? You can check me out on FB. You can make fun today until someone in your family gets the virus and dies. I have an excellent health insurance, so I’m not afraid, how about you? You can continue believing Mr. Trump’s lies, it’s your choice.
String him up
You should pray the virus away, I’m sure Pence would prefer that
Subtle Will
Might work. I’ve been praying for Trump to go away for over three years. Maybe it’s finally starting to happen.
@Jim Alley damnit, you made me laugh… laughing made me cough. no fair making sick people cough. lol
Mother will be pleased.
Subtle Will OK millennial.
You Godless Dem…..You should go drink Corona
If you take a moment to read about the response from the Sth Korean Government who have managed to contain the spread most effectively, you’ll understand just how incompetent and down right dangerous Trumps handling of this crisis is!
I feel so sorry for your mirror. Cheers from Toronto
@Almagiri Mai very incorrect. Cheers
@Vicki Ross Tudor lol ya OK
Trump supporters will go down with the virus. They dont think for themselves. Stay home, when you come out again maybe the sun will be shining and 20% of Repubs will be gone.
Pub Comrad , well I want to sue Trump for not getting a better tax break like he promised. He promised that Mexico would pay for the world. He didn’t say they would pay for it through tariffs he said they would just pay for it. So I want to sue him too. Do you think there’s a fly in court?
We don’t have healthcare, we have Profitcare. And there’s no profit in sick people! They will just close their doors. And we’re doing nothing now.
I am in Canada.
Cool slogans, Man.
@Pearl Barkley that would result in 12 million projected deaths in America. Within 6 months. That would be roughly the state of Colorado and Wisconsin, I believe.
@johnny walker well that’s what Santelli thinks about the value of human life… what a turd!!!
@Cast Boldly why give everyone medical care. Let people spread disease. I think it’s a GREAT idea that the under insured are putting the toilet tissue and paper towels in the dispensers at work and public places. Please wipe your butt, hands and face with that tissue. Fun fact- you can as easily contract a virus through your rectum as your mouth or eyes because the tissue is so thin. Go eat at a restaurant and use the bathroom. LOL.
The Governor’s have already done more then the federal government. I trust my Governor more than the Mad King to deal with COVID-19 because Trump might already have and not know about it.
That’s their job dummy
@ihave35cents imbecile.
@ihave 35 cents …. This is a hoax right ? …. What a fvckin Muppet. … 😂😂😂😂😂
Only in America do folks think that speaking objectively of the reality others have faced and we soon will, is characterized as panicking or alarming
by a guilty, dangerous GOP
thats the bill for spending your tax money only for your military!!! 1 million bed?? in a state with 320 mil. people? this is enough for the rich ones, the poor don’t even go to the hospital for fear for the bill!!
What?
@Italjute
Really.. Lucifers kids are the disease…
Hi! I just posted a short video about it on my channel please watch it and let me know what you think about the coronavirus? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsBwZ1dxk3k&feature=youtu.be
We are being Puerto Rico-ed!
100%
@ihave35cents wake up. Puerto rico government has been a shithole for decade but FEMA officials that trump sent were also arrested in the response
@Solid Tron who cares it’s Puerto Rico welfare island
@Solid Tron Obama left overs look it up
^^^^^arsehole alert ^^^^^^
The Greatest country in the world dropped the ball. *cough*
spud2go 😂🤣😂🤣
Neil H.G. 🤣😂🤣😂
@ihave35cents he put pandemic response teams in place to combat things like this and the very stable genius got rid of them!
So a contradiction in terms.
They dropped the ball 100 tears ago. Cheers from Toronto
#maatwca (make America a third world country again). And The Dotard successfully completed the job in less than three years…
You are right, America is just acting like a third world country, you can’t interfere in other nations affairs and you can’t simply handle your own
Wow, this is really sobering. It’s good to get facts. Thank you for giving us the truths.
Says the pawned out bimbo with no clue msnbc works for the same serpent scum who gave the orders to unleash the labmade virus
Finally someone who knows the number of beds, of ventilators and the number of hospitals. Must be someone who is not in the Trump government.
All irrelevant. Everyone’s going to get it if the vaccine takes 6 months-1 year to develop. Take your vitamins, wash your hands, and if you’re old get your affairs in order.
@Ryan B those that live that long May get the vaccine. By then it will make little difference. Most will have contracted it.
@S. Lee Mccauley What I’m saying is, because the vaccine is going to take so long to develop and because how highly contagious COVID is, everyone will contract it.
“We are fighting an enemy, and we don’t know where it is.” Try that white house on Pennsylvania Avenue.
@Twig Spinner You”re a Russian Troll so nobody cares what you got to say.
Absolutely. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Kevin McCarthy just stated the repubs will not support the Dems corona virus bill. Unreal!
The true enemies are those in power here in commiefornia. Examples include but not limited to. Nancy Pelosi, diane Feinstein, Gavin Newsome, Kampala harris, ( i know its spelled wrong but i dont have enough respect for her to chang it). The list does keep going but I don’t have the time
Democrats are the real enemy…..
They want anarchy and chaos so they can implement their Communist agenda…
Come to Finland: godless vegan socialists are the happiest and best educated – TOP of the world index.
We feel very sorry for the poor American people and the USA with its eleven carrier groups, and, your health service that no-one can afford to use.
@Ian Sinclair Question: If a man is so mentally incompetent that he cannot go out and buy his own health insurance policy, then how can he attract an Australian woman who will respect him?
@Jeff Gibson NOT SURE IF YOUR FACTS ARE RIGHT BUT THE WEALTHY HAVE ALWAYS DONE THAT!! WE HAVE A PANDEMIC NOW AND YOU ARE ONLY AS HEALTHY AS THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU! COMPARE VANCOUVER AND SEATTLE AND YOU WILL GET WHAT I MEAN!!
@Jeff Gibson You just made my argument…FYI anti trust is a spurious reference in this case. In a FOR profit system it might be a lame argument but in a single payer it means nothing as it is by nature a monopoly based on providing a service not making a profit. Rich whiners can always TOP UP with extra coverage for better rooms and the option to pay for quicker service even in a single pay system.
@Jeff Gibson https://www.thebalance.com/what-has-obama-done-11-major-accomplishments-3306158 go inform yourself and quit parroting FOX BS
@Graham Drew Have fun driving your socialist car to your socialist hospital. What do you want to drive? An East German Trabant? A Yugoslavian Yugo?
States with zero case because they haven’t been tested
Lina Meko so true.
There is a major hospital 1 mile from where I live. They have ZERO people because they have ZERO tests
Why not include casinos on the list of “places people may become infected” ? Lots of people, from all over the planet frequent casinos. Touching slots, touching each other accidentally, money changing hands.
I’m just saying…
Loweta Carroll exactly what I was thinking this morning
I was at Mohegan spa 3 weeks ago… ended up with inner ear pain and then sick a week later with type A flu. You are correct that it was probably the literal “hot bed,” that made me sick. There maybe a correlation because people do come from all over.
@Pink Lady that’s one good idea
If you are that stupid to go into gatherings at this point in time, you deserve to get it!
Hotels at Casinos could be used as quarantine facilities
This virus is the reason why everyone needs healthcare.
Really? So we didn’t need it before?
@MR intel We did, but this sort of thing is the reason we need socialized healthcare. I don’t care how rich or poor you are, and the virus doesn’t either. Bill Gates could catch the virus from the homeless wino down the street.
Now you know why the Chinese created all those massive ‘patient warehouses’ they called hospitals.
President Obama Really Did Hire The Best! 💙🇺🇸 Just Listen To All This Knowledge
This was one of the advisers to the former Vice President. The last administration was a thousand times better at handling a crisis
Build temp hospitals and the disinfect them and turn them into housing for the homeless!!!!!
