  1. This is outragous. I randomly watch international news and im in shock. In Germany we now have about 500 cases of corona and not a single death. The health minister is giving daily briefings and hundreds of people are under quarantine, many schools closed. I am in schock because the death ratio in the us is THAT high! and because its clearly because of mismanagement of the trump administration. really concerning and very sad.

    1. The US is more concerned about the economy and Americans are worried if they stay home they’ll lose they’re jobs. Profits and productivity rule this country over common sense, concern for eachother, and overall safety.
      Welcome to America

    2. @Hazel McCloy its the economy stupid. Just wait for a month, markets will dive to dow 500. Argue whatever, dow 500 will not be fake news. It’ll bite your butt.

    3. @Dave Waldon really? Last time i looked out of the window i saw beautiful nature, beautiful castles, green energy, caring and tolerant people, some of the best technology in the world (especially cars: Mercedes, BMW, Audi, VW, Porsche). I have free healthcare, a higher living standard than you, i have superb free university education like most of my fellow euopeans (i talk to you in my third language, after german and french, but i do speak 5 (italian and turkish as well), i have long holidays and paid leave, paid long lunch breaks, paid sickness days, we have 250 euro per month per child, called Kindergeld by the goverment, childcare is garanteed to every citizen, our medical care is the best in the world besides japan, our passport the most valueble in the world (look it up) and we are the most liked country worldwide (again, look it up). We are the richest country of thr richest continent of this planet, we earn more money monthly. Oh and we also took in 2 million refugees, i even teach one, he is a wonderful guy who will go home with better education and wont be killed. So what exactely do you mean? Maybe you should do as i do and sometimes watch international news and not only propaganda. But then again you probably don’t even speak english well enough, another language might be stupid to assume. Auf Wiedersehen.

  2. Those nursing home patients didn’t travel to get the virus. Someone brought it in. That’s the issue. We can’t just say oh we only have to worry about the old people. The issue is that the “younger” people will pick this up and pass it on to the vulnerable and unsuspecting senior population with visits or the staff themselves. It is in fact a big deal. My point is don’t minimize the idea that of people under a certain age get Covid it’s all good. It’s really not.

    1. @Goddess Wisdom TV Politics for grown folks is making a come back so we won’t have to put up with his foolishness much longer. People associated with this administration have to walk a fine line because Trump is so vindictive when you don’t follow his propaganda messaging. The public is put into a position to read between the lines. It’s not what they say, it’s what they do and what they aren’t saying. We know the score, we just have to protect ourselves until we can elect an adult that is willing to put the country first in more than empty platitudes.

    2. When Trump implemented strict control on who come into the country to avoid that the virus spread,
      *_democrats called it racist_*
      It’s a good thing democrats are not in power. Else hundreds opf thousand would have died.

    3. The GOP agenda includes GENOCIDAL activities. Killing off those dependent elders and those health compromised people they see as “disposable” ! The GOP operates on the premise that the elderly and vulnerable people of America do not represent a large enough population to effect their base. The GOP base certainly doesn’t give one ioda about ANYONE but themselves anyway ! Compassion for others isn’t a GOP trait. The GOP is totally disconnected from reality ! Through this intentional disconnect , the GOP gets its reassurance of self centered narcissism ! Voting DEMOCRAT will be redemption and separation from the disconnect of the GOP and their GENOCIDAL agenda. To not see this any other way , is to basically empower the GOP’S agenda ! VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO !!🌏🇺🇸🌊

    4. @D J Threatening two SC justices with death is just normal to you fascists. Democrats *_always_* turn to violence when you’re losing, and that exactly what is happening now.

    5. @D J Dear fascist *_Smollett_* you should maybe cool it, people are getting suspicious with all your accounts. Btw, what was it, that you did, fascist *_Smollett?_* You staged a fake hate crime and then blamed Trump supporters for your crime? And when you were caught, you were helped by other fascist democrats to escape the law?
      *_WOUW!_*

    The number of known coronavirus cases in the United States continues to grow.

    As of Saturday afternoon, at least 378 people with the Covid-19 illness have been treated in 28 states, according to a New York Times database, and at least 19 patients with the virus have died.

    1. @Gary Santos *The CDC has discovered the cause of the cornavirus. It is TDS and it is incurable. TDS will mutate into one crises after another.*

    2. @Gary Santos i’m sorry i am not a medical professional so i don’t know the details. all i do know is that they are always tested twice. you have also be tested negative twice to be considered cured. i know that this is at least also true for patients on the cruise ship in japan.

    1. @Dam DEVA CDC Disease Director: Low Number of U.S. Coronavirus Cases ‘Reflection of Aggressive Containment Efforts’

    1. Noreb 👈🏼 🙄 you trumpuglyclan cult turd. trump owns you… you are his puppet and his property until he’s finished using you … nuff said!

  4. UK has tested 21460 people and 206 have tested positive. Governors take up the battle this administration is incapable of doing anything.

    1. @Kiwi Newz
      Not sure that Trump has gutted the CDC, I know he suggested cutting their budget but not certain that was ever passed.
      However:
      2018, Trump fired the Pandemic Response chain of command that had been set up in 2014.

      Last fall he shut down Predict, a Federal pandemic tracking program.

      Now he has appointed an anti science bible bashing halfwit to oversee this latest outbreak.
      We should not be too critical of America, we live in one of the worlds top 5 democracies, we have a decent healthcare system, our life expectancy is greater, we don’t watch our children be mown down in regular mass shootings and our government is stable and relatively competent.
      Then again, maybe given their history, they deserve what they get?
      Cheers

    1. @Drake Fire You are going to blame the declining stock market at Trump’s feet when you know that airports and cities being shut down due to an epidemic is the cause? While you’re at it,why not blame him for the virus as well.

    2. @I.P. DAILY I blame it on Trump doing nothing of actual value until the virus was completely out of control.

      And for firing the Pandemic Response team.

    1. @Dam DEVA School in Brooklyn Hands Out “Drag Queen in Training” Stickers to 4-Year-Olds

  5. Put Trump on the ship or in the Nursing Home. It is his duty to visit Americans in a crisis. He can “work” from there.

    1. Crystal Giddens —criticizing dump NEVER gets old because the MFer kept destroying the country and now he’s risking American lives with his denial of world health crisis

    2. @Crystal Giddens except it’s death rate is higher. It is serious because it has an incubation period of 10 days – it also comes back.

  6. You know why Trump’s daddy never loved him? Because he was a horribly self absorbed, disrespectful and insulting child just like he is now.

  7. From some of the comments here, I can only surmise that tRump University had a medical school.

    1. I can assure you, that your degree in tree hugging and gender studies does not constitute any kind of education.
      In fact, it only proves that your IQ is below average and that you’re easily fooled.

  8. God, that was the most informative balance of “take this seriously, don’t panic, here’s what you need to do in what situation” I have heard yet from a government official. I forgot what competent leadership looks like.

    1. This is all it takes. Keep the population informed, and out of the dark. That alone would keep the panic down.

    2. I agree, and similarly in a larger sense, this whole sordid Traitor Trump nightmare has also been like a gold-refining crucible which has made us better appreciate that… we really do have some true heroes among us. I’m hopeful that after this storm passes America’s next stage will be one of renewed reasonableness and sensibility, and a better appreciation of the “lights in the darkness” (Philippians 2;15) leaders who do speak in that manner

  9. “Doctor” trump has everything under control. He’s an expert about everything. Remember he told the world many times at conferences, meetings and rallies that he knows more about business, trade deals, tariffs, Intelligence & Security, the law, ISIS, science, politics, education and building walls, sooooooo…. I’m sure he must be an expert in disease control…. and since the URGENCY of the coronavirus is nothing more than a Democrat hoax, which he repeated several times at his rallies to get cheers from his cult members, just sit back and relax or go to work even if you’re not feeling 100% but remember….only listen to him because he knows best and everyone else is either a liar or an alarmist. TRUMP OUT 2020!!!

    1. No Cuomo is in charge in NY. New Yorkers elected the Liberal stooge and now he’s in charge of their virus outbreak. Ah ha ha ha. I bet your a BernieBro or Hilksry lover. Ah ha ha ha

  10. Newsflash: the government really doesn’t know what it’s doing.
    Things have been this way since a bunch of weirdos voted for that nitwit Donald Trump.

    1. Ah ha ha ha. The best you have is the Serial Fondler hair Sniffer or a old yelling Socialist with three Mansions. Ah ha ha ha LIPTARDS

    2. I fear that isn’t true. The CDC is part of the executive branch under the HHS. This is just a hunch but I’m wondering if the administration is artificially limiting testing to try to sweep this pandemic under the rug even though it’s laughably dumb idea on all levels that won’t work.

  11. Nyc/nys: please work on telling people to walk into emergency rooms if they have flu-like symptoms. They should call ahead so that personnel can prepare, or we will have many doctors and nurses and facilities compromised. Better yet: set up separate diagnosing facilities.

  12. Trump declares a state of emergency over border wall but no such thing over coronavirus where we will likely see a doubling of cases and deaths every 5-6 days.
