  1. Some people are so crazy. My neighbor asked me if I wanted to come to her cat’s birthday party on Monday. I told her no my dog is getting married that day. 😉

    1. @Abby Cottington Yes! I did. They mentioned that on an episode of “Laugh-in.” ‘ Share a little tea with Goldie’ segment.

    1. @Ryan Racine
      Actually you’re wrong. These doctors are saying that the coronavirus had nothing to do with most of their deaths. Did you know that 99% of people live with the coronavirus and don’t even know they have it? So the coronavirus played practically no role in most of their deaths. That’s what all these videos are actually saying if you actually looked at them. Some people absolutely did die from this virus. No doubt about that. Most did not.

    2. @Ryan Racine what Pam is saying and the doctors are saying, is that 99% of people can fight off the coronavirus without even knowing the habit, but those who have pre-existing conditions will succumb to it. It wasn’t the coronavirus that killed them. It was everything else in their body and coronavirus was the Tipping Point.

    3. @Miss SissyYou are wrong, they would still be alive if they didn’t catch Covid. Just because you have hypertension or asthma doesn’t mean you will die today. They caught the virus and it exacerbated their condition and it killed them. That’s a Covid death…

    4. @Ryan Racine very few people are actually dying directly as a result of the coronavirus disease. That’s why this number is hugely exaggerated.We don’t know the relationship between coronavirus and any of these diseases. The fact that 99% of people live through it without even knowing they have it should tell you that the disease isn’t what’s killing them. The disease is the Tipping Point for those who are already very close to death to begin with. That’s what all these videos are telling you. Are you going to argue with a public health director? She’s the one that says this. She’s a Democrat!

    1. 🟧 CNN had this video 4 months ago but lied to all of you that 180000 people died from the coronavirus when they knew that was a lie. Our country allows everyone who died of any illness including cancer and drowning and heart attack and workplace accidents to be included in the death count if they have coronavirus in their body at the time of death. Here is 40 seconds proof proving Trump was right when he called it a hoax.

      Watch “Dr. Deborah Birx | Recording Covid-19 as Cause of Death No Matter What” on YouTube

    2. CDC knew for four months that the numbers were incorrect. Because thousands of doctors were telling them this. So did the CNN. Democrat whistleblower doctors forced CDC update the correct information. The question is who forced CDC to withhold this information? Maybe that’s why we can’t trust them anymore. Who would gain if the numbers were artificially inflated? That’s who the culprit is.

    3. @Miss Sissy funny you would mention we “can’t trust them anymore”.
      Start with CNN and the democrats who never miss an opportunity to disparage the most achieved president in US history.
      And CNN is the lowest rated news outlet for good reason.

    4. 🔵 Democrat ruined cities are being blown up and destroyed right now through BLM. Republican cities remain violence-free. What a difference good leadership makes.

  2. “My authority is total and I take no responsibility at all” – words of an EPIC FAILURE with NO LEADERSHIP skills and NO PLAN to protect the American People

    1. @Moe Stuff it should have been in single quotes. It is not a direct quote from trump; instead it is two direct quotes melded.

    2. Democrats have lied. 180000 people did not die from Coronavirus. This is one massive hoax. See these 40-second videos.

  3. The CDC director doesn’t understand that deaths “decrease” on weekends because of delayed reporting. Look at the4 history. Trump MORON!

    1. Thank you for that quote..I just shared this with my crazy trump supporter husband and he for once had nothing to say so thank you…

    2. on the same note.. 12,500 people died with the H1N1 Swine flu WITH 60,000,000 cases and they never shut up about it either. but no one was screaming “PLANDEMIC” then…

    1. You mean the governors. The president has not order anything to the governors. They are in charge of their own states.

    2. @Diego Because TrUmPy didn’t wanna be held responsible if people continued to die from Covid after HE demands a country wide re-open.
      He just passed on the responsibility and fault to individual states and cities. Just as he did his tests and exams in High School and College.

    1. @Dale Cotton i didn’t even read all your stuff-you really do swallow-trump loves you. do you remember when 9-11 happened? i think there was one passed in 2011. i think a veterans bill was passed in 2014 as well as a big bill for all people incarcerated-not just blacks…on that note, you need to get some new stuff, they gave you old boogers.
      trump likes to take credit for any bill he even hears about

  4. Deep State… he’s continuing to promote the conspiracy theories… he’s not just illogical and divisive, he’s unpresidential and dangerous

    1. Here is the time line to clear this up:

      Here is some truth for you

      The real time line. Pay attention to what the World Health Organization, the media, and Democrats were saying and doing during all this.

      1/6 CDC issues travel advisory for Wuhan.

      1/11 CDC reports of corona related “pneumonia outbreak in China”

      1/14 WHO  releases statement that there is no evidence of human to human transmission.

      1/17 CDC begins enhanced screening for COVID-19 symptoms at three U.S. airports, in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York’s JFK.
      U.S. infections: Zero.

      1/20 CDC opens Emergency Response Center.

      1/21 first case in US for someone who traveled directly from Wuhan.

      1/21 CDC expanded COVID-19 checks to airports in Chicago and Atlanta.

      1/23 WHO again says no human to human transmission outside of China.

      1/27 WHO raises alert level but is still saying China has it contained.

      1/28 CDC states “ While CDC considers covid a serious situation and is taking preparedness measures, the immediate risk in the US is considered low.”

      1/29 White House announces Coronavirus Task Force created.  Note – this is despite the WHO downplaying the threat!

      Democrats focus is still on impeachment.

      1/31 Trump bans travel from China.
      Media and multiple Democrats slam his decision calling it racist/xenophobic.

      1/31 Vox tweets, “is [coronavirus] going to be a deadly pandemic? No!”

      2/1 Washington Post: The Flu Is Worse Than Coronavirus

      2/2 CDC adds Honolulu, Seattle and Dulles airports to those already screening travelers from China.

      2/5 Trump acquitted (impeachment).

      2/5 Chuck Schumer in a tweet continues to call Trumps’ travel ban from China “premature.”

      2/7 White House’s Coronavirus Task Force gives press briefing.

      2/9 White House Coronavirus
      Task Force meets with all governors regarding virus. 

      2/12 CDC waiting for approval from Chinese for CDC team to travel to China.

      2/18 HHS announces partnership to develop vaccine.

      2/18 New York Times: “Fear Spreads Faster Than Coronavirus”

      2/21 Italy identifies its very first case in their country.

      2/21 CDC tweets that it is working with States for preparedness.

      2/21 CNN: “Racist Attacks Are More Threatening Than Coronavirus”

      2/24 Trump sent letter to Congress asking for $25B for virus effort.

      2/24 Nancy Pelosi made a stop in Chinatown and encouraged people to “please come and visit and enjoy Chinatown.”

      2/25 there is still no reported community spread in the US!!! (Per CDC tweet.)

      2/27 first community transmission in US

      2/27 Trump appoints Pence to coordinate efforts.

      2/29 WHO condemns travel restrictions, saying they are ineffective against a virus and in the long run counterproductive

      2/29 FIRST reported Covid19 death in US.  
      It is helpful to look at the actual timeline. All of this happened BEFORE  the 1st death in US.

      Anyone can check for accuracy. There were many more actions in between, I just took some highlights.

    2. @SuCKeRPunCH187 Rio Grant , Trump-Russia collusion has been debunked by four separate investigations including the Mueller report. No one has been tougher on Russia than Trump! Not to mention new evidence shows Putin wanted Hillary as president because Trump was to unpredictable, and Hillary was already in Putin’s back pocket with the uranium one deal where she got $145 million in kickbacks to the Clinton foundation. FYI, one indictment was already handed out for the Russian hoax, and many more to come.

    3. @John Edward Gallagher 100% correct. If you use done common sense, Trump is a Billionaire. He can’t be bought. He makes more on compound intrest than his salary. Unlike certain other politicians that go into “public sevice” with vety littke and are now multimillionaires.

    4. @Eric Rounds Funny how a QANON was talking about that shite years before Epstein and Alison Mac with NXIVM came to light. So court records are now conspiracy theories? Maxwell nameing names in court. Seems he was right about the human trafficking part…or are you going to call court documents and Inditements a conspracy theory?

  5. Trump: Dont worry about the virus
    Also trump: Has everyone thats going to be around him tested multiple times a day

    1. @The Idiot-In-Chief also read my post more carefully next time. No one was comparing the flu to the coronavirus with respect to the symptoms. I was comparing the number of deaths only. The number of deaths to the coronavirus is comparable to the number of deaths due to the flu because the number of deaths being reported is severely overinflated as now three doctors have proven. Wait for my other posts.

    2. @Miss Sissy I see you read the article.(NOT). It doesnt talk about symptoms at all. It talks about how the CDC comes up with numbers. For everything. Every year. And it also struck the doctor as odd, as deaths from the flu is a relatively rare event in a doctor’s career. He then started asking colleagues about their experiences, and talks about that
      Next, your opinion of “there havent been 170,000 deaths” is believable if you add “due to COVID-19”. Maybe you were unclear in your opinion. No one makes up the numbers the # of deaths. It is what is it. The cause of 170,000 is a projection. So you could say “out of the 170,000 who have died only 125,00 have actually been due to COVID-19 and others died from heart failure, asthma, diabetes not related to COVID-19, would still be a believable opinion based on actual reality and facts. Being educated is attractive, unless your hanging out on low end dating sites or trump rallies.

    3. @Miss Sissy also, glad trump sent 2 million doses to Brazil. Your same article, which I read. Hes hoarding his 150 million stockpile, which was donated, by the way: simply to keep it away from Americans. The Americans are suing his appointee, because American doctors *want* to prescribe it. Whether would he do that? The Grand Cheato is a snake. In every way. And completely and totally unloyal to the idiots who defend him. Razzle dazzle baby. Followers love to follow.

    1. People are obligated to learn and understand the fundamentals of virology and immunology. There are likely hundreds if not thousands of corona virus antibody immunity’s in all of us right now from historic past pandemic outbreaks. Right now in present time there are 7 corona viruses circulating the globe that nobody really even knows exist that have been diluted and neutralized by our internal antibody immunity. Even though SARS-cov-2 is considered a novel virus, our immune system recognize cov19 at least in a partial RNA sequencing and the foreign invader is usually neutralized with relative ease and commonality. In microgenetics terms by definition there are no such things as a totally novel and independently genetically coded Corona virus, they all share similar RNA sequencing and hijacked and borrowed protein micromachinery. This is precisely why Sars-cov-2 is undetectable and completely benign and harmless in the vast, vast majority of the populations infections; there is a partial antibody T-Cell memorization recall immunity happening within literally everyone across the globe. The problems only really occur when the immune system is damaged or isn’t working properly from very old age (immunity degradation) or other severe chronic comorbidity’s or immunocomromise diseases.

    2. If you vote selfishly with your wallet alone: Did you all know? Biden & Obama saved the economy, after Bush’s 2008 Banking Crash. He’s done it before, and he’ll do it again. Save the Republic! Track your vote! Vote Biden / Harris!

    1. @Miss Sissy Right now I believe the right wing media more and I see them as the lesser of the two evils. But both the right and the left have agendas. It is sad but there is very little out there to trust. So much has changed in such a short amount of time that I would counsel something very hard to take. Don’t trust any of them. It is very difficult to make choices because there is little truth being told. Right now the right seems to be right. In my youth the opposite seemed true. I want to repeat to you that at least in many areas I now think the right wing media is closer to the truth and my interests. But please beware of both. It is hard not to believe in something, but politicians and the media, you just can’t take any of them without a HUGE dose of salt. The speed with which we can receive information is a double edged sword. We can learn things quickly with information at our fingertips but also we can lie and be lied to more efficiently. Hence this pandemic is driven by politics more than science while both sides claim the opposite. We also have been taught to vilify the other side and calling them evil. It might be that the regular folks on each side are honestly doing thier best to figure out the right of it. However they are being mislead by those in power for selfish reasons. Most likely the usual evil, greed.

    2. @R No. It is not a tantrum. You think if people find what you say to be wrong it is a tantrum. You are very high mighty in your assessment of others. IT must feel very good to be able to dismiss the ideas and feelings of other with such dismissive terminology. That is dangerous. You will be closed to learning from your mistakes.

    3. @John Edward Gallagher you are right. Politics is driving the pandemic. Neither party is Lily White. If Democrats didn’t support the BLM and their violence I probably would have voted Democrat. Now that they have lied about the deaths, I could never vote Democrat. That doesn’t mean I agree with Trump and his party on many things because I don’t. I just won’t vote for a party that supports violence and lying in order to win the election.

    4. @Miss Sissy I used to vote democrat as well but they have changed. They are actually anti american. I cannot believe to what degree they have become so. I am actually shocked at have venial the DNC is. I don’t know how they sleep at night knowing how evil they have become.

    5. I am 55 years old and for the first time in my life I am afraid for this nation. I don’t think americans have know this kind of fear since Pearl Harbor. But at least then the danger was from outside. Today it is from inside and that is worse. Our own fellow citizens have been trained to believe they need to bring our nation down. There own nation. It is perverse beyond all imagination.

I mean we could have a great system in this country.”

      A: I was very unimpressed. Their system is a disaster. What you will see there soon is a revolution; the signs are all there with the demonstrations and picketing. Russia is out of control and the leadership knows it. That’s my problem with Gorbachev. Not a firm enough hand.
      Q: You mean firm hand as in China?
      A: When the students poured [in 1989] into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak… as being spit on by the rest of the world.”

      You do know what Putin loves about Trump ?
      His soft lips and no brain too stop a full thrust.

    3. @GoT fan 2320 you didn’t heed that advice. And I don’t read gibberish. But maybe someone else who deals in identity politics will.

    1. Had we all worn masks when in public and stayed home as much as possible in January and February the outbreak could have been contained. If states had not opened up in late April but waited until July, again we could have contained it.

    1. Listening has become a rare thing in our society these days. Judging people according to thier identity and none of remembering we are all Americans seem the order of the day. The on the other side, we have been lied to so often by so many people that it seems not to do any good listening. People only see thier own set of “fact” in thier own way.

    2. @Nun Ya Thank you. But they don’t give us those numbers they media just keeps the fear going (for advertising dollars and political manipulation oh and Bezos getting richer). But they have germaphobes and old people with money and the means to stay at home a great reason to support them.

    3. @Nun Ya They CDC finally admitted their numbers are severely inflated.
      The actual number of deaths from Covid was 6%. 100,000 deaths and 6,000 were actually from Covid.
      John Edward Gallagher; we have been lied to constantly by democRats and the Fake News media.

  8. Title should read “Covid-19 Cases Trending Down in 41 States” You can’t wave your hand and make all the green states disappear bud.
