  1. They should also exclude California and Washington state, which do keep the numbers low as well.

    1. @George Florence I don’t need any help. Humanity does. https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/82693/sanhedrin-blesses-trump-calls-president-uphold-seven-noahide-laws/
      Proof of the plot right in the setup where it talks about a DOOMSDAY CULT, Chabad. LOL. Not entirely sure how antiChristian LAW gets mixed into a govt. FOUNDED on fake Christian principals. As stupid as you people are, NO CLUE how you’re getting away with it. MUST be chosen by ‘god’. https://www.congress.gov/bill/102nd-congress/house-joint-resolution/104/text

    2. Anonymous 2017 well if it’s on the internet it must be true, and your user name says anonymous so you must be serious. Anyway, thank you for the laughs, at least you’re entertaining.

    3. @Andrew Simpson the Republican sates would have less because they tend to have lower populations, or thats just my thought process

  2. Yeah, I’m an IT guy who spent the last 10 years rolling out standing desks and open office concepts. Our company has been growing by 20% and our office space hasn’t. How will coronavirus effect everyone going back to work in Finance and other open-concept offices? One cough affects the entire team, nobody has been leaving their house so no one is sick yet. I don’t understand how this is going to work in such close quarters.

    1. Bottom Line is your gonna most likely get it if you haven’t Already. Unless you are in vunerable age bracket or are not healthy Covid19 is same or less problematic than the common flu… Highly contagious BUT NOT DEADLY TO 99.80% of those Infected… No amount of handwashing no gloves or mask will protect you 100%..You would need a hazmat suit put on in a sterile environment to really protect you… REMEMBER FLU VACCINE ONLY 45–55% Effective.

  3. Wait, you’re telling me the United States is making a decision on incomplete and inaccurate info? Will wonders never cease? smh…what’s the news?

    1. REMEMBER*** THE GOVERNOR’S Closed their States and each Governor decided what was essential and what wasn’t….

    2. @Kat Smith mysteriously…really, would you go to the hospital if you had cancer or something else? That preexisting condition would almost guarantee your demise. And wher on eath do you get your stats on mortality rates that is absurd.

    1. @Rob Ceriani Let’s say there was a Democrat president. There’s some outbreak in Europe that the president says isn’t a big deal, it’s nothing to worry about. Then he bans all of Europe from coming into the U.S. Do you think the Republicans might have a say about that? See what party-blindness is keeping you from seeing? Like if Trump is saying it’s not a big deal, yet bans all Chinese from coming to our country as if he’s doing it to protect from something dangerous, THEN FOR TWO MONTHS HOLDS RALLIES AND BRIEFINGS SAYING IT’S A DEMOCRAT HOAX AND THERE’S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT…. don’t you think the Dems have the right to be a little suspicious on the motives? He says “don’t worry”, but uses it as an excuse to ban China as much as possible to continue his feud started in the trade war which really hurt our country. And yes, Democrats weren’t perfect, but don’t go around saying they’re the ONLY ones to blame and assume they’re only making decisions because they’re anti-Trump. Stop and think maybe they’re anti-Trump because they’re anti-ineptitude, they’re anti-having a president that makes decisions based on politics, and Trump just so happens to embody the worst traits of a leader. I’m sure it’s ALSO because they’re anti-Trump, but I’m an independent, I have a conservative upbringing and was a registered Republican until 2016. Trump is wrong for the party, and wrong for the country. So stop taking Trump criticisms as personal attacks, there’s the Republican party (which we all miss), and the Party of Trump. Which are you in?

    2. @PhilosopherStoned I’ll respond more in a few but I’m driving now. But I am definitely in the Trump 2020 camp. 1000%

    3. Thats what happens..VIRUS RUN RAMPANT.people get exposed some get sick some dont …some die while the Vast Majority Lives….VIRUSES Run their course and yes they go away on their own as Herd Immunity builds…History shows us No need to wear masks or social distance…EVERYONE has or will be exposed to Wuhan Virus..Might as well get exposed see what happens live or die thats just Life… THERE IS NO HIDING FROM COVID19 ..ITS ALREADY EVERYWHERE..IN YOUR HOME IN YOUR VEHICLE AT THE GROCERY STORE IN SIDE RESTARAUNTS..ITS CARRIED ON AMAZON BOXES PEOPLE HAVE DELIVERED..ITS IN DELIVERY VEHICLES..ITS ON MONEY..IT LIVES SO LONG ON OBJECTS THEN DIES OFF…ITS UP TO YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM TO FIGHT IT OFF…Even if we had a Vaccine doest mean it will be veey effective..look at flu vaccines they work 45-55% of the time..

    4. @PhilosopherStoned ITS REALLY NOT A BIG ONLY THE INSAIN OVER REACTION …ITS NOT EVEN THAT DEADLY… IF YOU THINK ALL THIS MASK WEARING AND SOCIAL DISTANCING REALLY PROTECTS YOU…COVID19 IS SUPER CONTAGIOUS AND ALREADY HAS SPREAD ACROSS THE GLOBE ..NO HIDING FROM IT …PEOPLE ACT LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING NEW.. ALL THROUGH HISTORY PLAUGES COME AND GO …PANDEMICS COME AND GO…WE HAD BADFLU SEASONS WE LOST 100,000 IN THE UNITED STATES..AND NONE OF THIS NON SENSE. PEOPLE DIE EVERY DAY OF SOMETHING…

  4. Summary of this, NYC heavily dominates US numbers and patterns and everywhere else it’s just a blip.

  5. Safe distancing and masks and gloves necessary. Do Not forget prayer.. PEOPLE must pay bills!!!

  6. 0:08 yep I realized this a little over a week ago. I also suddenly realized I really need to focus on something else.

    1. I have a busy freeway right outside my appartment building and I can’t stress how disturbed I was to never really see the traffic drop to zero.

      I’ll admit I went boarderline ballist if confused anger when I saw a traffic jam. Which only should occur during normal rush hour levels of traffic, which should not have been possible if it was just essential workers.

      I don’t get why so many people dont get this

  7. Can they just admit that we’re gonna go on a Great Depression and that more people are gonna die they just need to be straight up with us

  8. Trump “America First” well he got his wish with the highest covid-19 death count in the world.

  9. What’s really infuriating about all this is that CV hasn’t hit with its full force in the red states. The population is sparser. When it does, and is followed by the famous second wave, will Fox continue its disinformation campaign? As Sarah Palin said, “You betcha!”

  10. If it was such a big deal, why are liquor stores allowed to remain open ?
    Why can you go into any liquor store and buy scratch – off tickets? Are lottery tickets essential.
    Why are abortions allowed, but hip replacements are not ?

  11. I haven’t got tested for covid-19 have you ? Like this post if you are majority and haven’t got tested yet

  12. Im in NY. I walked into a grocery store yesterday, had to bring kids with…no one to watch them..all 3 of us had masks on. A younger (20s) couple without masks, walked past a sign that read, “It is a requirement for all that enter this store to be wearing protective facial masks”. An employee tried to stop them but the male said, “there is no law saying I have to wear a mask”, then walked on in. The employee had no idea how to handle the situation and clearly had no support. The selfishness of people is astounding.

  13. I say shut down everything for a month! It would be brutal, but with no transmissions, the virus will die out.
