Detroit Finds Success Against Coronavirus With Rapid Testing Strategy | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
We should realize that Trump is on the side of the health insurance industry. Insurance companies must pay for the covid 19 tests, therefore making the tests scarce is not an accident till our cobras run out.
@William H Music 2020 your url says he is doing a great job. Is that the same great as in MAGA. Because he succeeded by making us another sh*thole country in America. Though against Biden, your prediction is probably true since democrats don’t care to win…
LOL You progs are still fuming and foaming about the 2016 colon-massage Trump gave you. The old man outsmarted Strozk, Lisa Page, McCabe, Ohr, Nellie Ohr, Rosenstein, Comey, Biden, and Obama. THAT HAS TO HURT.
@ConTroller
Make America Gross Again
@DLANOD PMURT SI RUOY TNEDISERP 70,000 dead yanks doesn’t hurt me, cleetus, we’re laughing at the body count and the inbreds and meth heads who still think he’s done good.
@Noises Tee Hee………….He’s the President and there’s nothing you can do about it. Hillary hugs a bottle of Grey Goose and Nancy sucks on her dentures in rage.
His list of amazing successes must truly send you into a tailspin of depression.
Of course, the worst thing is denial, which you naturally suffer from.
Trump does not want testing because it will show realistic numbers and he will not be able to skew the numbers in his favor.
Patient 1 in WA state just went to rehabilitation center after 2 MONTHS in the hospital & he’s still not completely out of the woods.
@Pricilla Shivvers-Triplett
So, you support the corruption of the FBI? And if they do this to a sitting President, it’s ok to do it to you?
@DLANOD PMURT SI RUOY TNEDISERP 👈 Babbling Crank😏
when did Trump say he did not want testing? you’re desperate and it shows.
testings are tainted said donna kinear from england a high official
What’s the difference between t’rump and murder hornets?
At least the hornets won’t hide what they’re trying to do to you.
Good posts bring the trolls….& some trolls bend over backwards to make their points.
@Bryan Mcphail
Morning Joe’s dad lost his job and had to go on welfare…. amazing. You will never understand.
@DLANOD PMURT SI RUOY TNEDISERP ..WOW..perhaps John Durham could start up ANOTHER Investigation into all of that..after all it is about time…Isn’t Durham due to release some REALLY SHOCKING Revelations 1110000% For Sure This Time…. So after he does that he could start this one and be on a real roll going into Election Time… We may as well make it to the 12 Separate Investigations point..Nobody on your team has liked any of the results and conclusions that ALL of the Investigations have uncovered so far..
@Pricilla Shivvers-Triplett Amen Miss…”IF” Mr Trump thought that he could prove his point and make the Dems look bad and clear his name..he would have been Tweeting it NON Stop.. He is STILL fighting in the Courts to prevent Congress from seeing the fully un redacted Special Council’s Report that was Released over 13 Months ago.. That is absolute Insanity..They are fully entitled to see the Report in it’s Entirety.. Why of earth would an Innocent Man be fighting to prevent Information that could exonerate him from being shown to a Co Equal Branch of Government?? Even Mr Trump’s most loyal Supporters should be concerned over his dishonesty..
@frictionRx9 Why not, all the red states are on welfare
I am looking forward to voting for Biden in November. I had enough of Trump and his BS!
Oh because Biden will be a much better president???? Lol
@Riva 40 I believe he would be, by a wide margin! I do not think he would be a mass murderer such as Trump!
Riva 40 Biden actually cares about people unlike Trump who only cares about himself and will only listen to his own voice or people that praise him constantly.
You won’t see Biden act like a dictator. Only a dictator makes Mayors sit around a table and tells them to praise him
@Riva 40 you realise he was a successful VP for 8 years? He’ll be better than the draft dodger casino bankrupter 70 year old man child
#bluenomatterwho
@Vvoh vaelez
Successful is a strong word. In my eyes, he is just as disgusting as trump… but you do you, man.
Nursing homes, meatpacking plants, and prisons all vectors as duly pointed out here. However, this is one of the reasons RepubliKKKlans have taken the ‘herd immunity by fire’ route. They feel safe that these individuals are expendable. The old cuz they’re done for anyway, factories cuz they’re full of temporary foreign workers and prisons cuz who cares. The mistake … the RepubliKKKlan red states are not immune and they WILL start dying.
I pray daily it’s only the cult members that do.
About the meat packing plants.
No one has mentioned how long COVID-19 can stay viable on the surface of fresh refrigerated meat.
I’m guessing, however, that the Trump administration will try hard to hide the number of deaths.
Eww. I never thought about how long it stays on meat…but then again, I don’t eat it.
In Ontario, we will be testing 20K per day targeting high risk people. Test, Isolate, contact trace is the solution.
shhh. don’t tell the yanks that until they top 1,000,000 deaths.
@camry1971
LOL………….Sweden has more men than the entire democrat party in the US. Finally, America has an Alpha Male in the White House. The beta boy in Mom’s Jeans, the last occupant of the WH, tried to destroy America and fools like you cheered him on.
Thank God for Donald J Trump.
@DLANOD PMURT SI RUOY TNEDISERP more like Alpha fail, amiright sane Americans?
@Thats not funny me too..
@Vvoh vaelez You’re sad. Trump rubbed your colon the wrong way. I get it.
Trump has failed us
Failed is too kind…he has killed Thousands and now wants to make it’
as matter of fact ok….He should be tried convicted and hung!
@Steve steve there is something wrong with your brain
Turn’s out, Trump isn’t very smart or a president.
He is a president though. You’re wrong there.
Surprise surprise! Now do the GOP realise their folly?
Trump 2020
@Cornelius Tacitus TRUMP 2020!!!! MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA!!!!
@Amber Hollowell
1. Trump didn’t keep his promises. He didn’t even attempt to. He never built the wall. He could have shut down the government for the funding but he didn’t do it.
2. He could have issued an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, it would have been challenged, but he did not do it.
3. He did not subsidize effected industries from the trade war with China. His trade war therefore wasn’t about helping workers, it was about something else.
4. He passed, with Democrats, a bailout for all kinds of huge companies, Cruise lines, casinos. All kinds of crazy things. Instead that money could have gone to small businesses, which don’t have the capital to survive. Or individuals.
5. He has called for the expansion of EB-3 high skilled green card issuance, which will put more white collar Americans out of work, and will suppress the pay of those who can stay employed. Just as tens of millions are UNEMPLOYED. It’s a squeeze. Big business gets high skill labor for cheap, and you’ll have to work extra hours for less just to keep your job.
United States of Indentured Servants. That’s what this country was founded on. Indentured Servitude.
Good news from Detroit is always heartening…
Unusual, isn’t it? Not that it’s happening. It’s that someone outside of Michigan knows about it. They hear of the totally useless wastes of time things, like the protests at the capital, but usually not positive, and useful things like this.
Good mayor = Good job, well done!
As late as March 10, Trump said:
“Just stay calm. It will go away.” The next day, the World Health Organization
declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic. By then, officials said,
the warnings in the PDB and other intelligence reports had taken on the aspect
of an insistent drumbeat. The first mention of the coronavirus in the PDB came
at the beginning of January. But Trump has also been combative or dismissive
toward U.S. intelligence agencies throughout his presidency.
In reality, the virus was by then
moving swiftly through communities across the United States, spreading
virtually unchecked in New York City and other population centers until state
governors began imposing sweeping lockdowns, requiring social distancing and
all but closing huge sectors of the country’s economy.
One official said that by mid- to
late January the coronavirus was being mentioned more frequently, either as one
of the report’s core articles or in what is known as an “executive update,” and
that it was almost certainly called to Trump’s attention orally. But Trump
spent much of February publicly playing down the threat while his
administration failed to mobilize for a major outbreak by securing supplies of
protective equipment, developing an effective diagnostic test and preparing
plans to quarantine large portions of the population. Trump insisted publicly
on Feb. 26 that the number of cases “within a couple of days is going to be
down to close to zero,” and said the next day that “it’s like a miracle, it
will disappear.”
The advisories being relayed by
U.S. spy agencies were part of a broader collection of worrisome signals that
came during a period now regarded by many public health officials and other
experts as a squandered opportunity to contain the outbreak. The frequency with
which the coronavirus was mentioned in the PDB has not been previously
reported, and U.S. officials said it reflected a level of attention comparable
to periods when analysts have been tracking active terrorism threats, overseas
conflicts or other rapidly developing security issues.
But the alarms appear to have
failed to register with trump, who routinely skips reading the PDB and has at
times shown little patience for even the oral summary he takes two or three
times per week, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of
anonymity to discuss classified material. President Obama would have read and
digest every word in his PDB and the attachments and acted on the
recommendation. The difference between genius and trump and his cultist
supporters stupidity is that genius has its limitations” Two things are
infinite: the universe and human stupidity; though I’m not quite sure yet about
the universe. -Albert Einstein.
For weeks, the PDB — as the
report is known — traced the virus’s spread around the globe, made clear that
China was suppressing information about the contagion’s transmissibility and
lethal toll, and raised the prospect of dire political and economic
consequences.
The repeated warnings were
conveyed in issues of the President’s Daily Brief, a sensitive report that is
produced before dawn each day and designed to call the president’s attention to
the most significant global developments and security threats.
U.S. intelligence agencies issued
warnings about the novel coronavirus in more than a dozen classified briefings
prepared for President Trump in January and February, months during which he
continued to play down the threat, according to current and former U.S.
officials.
Trump blaming the Enemy for fcking
him up good:))) USA started an economical War with China, China retaliated with
Bio Warfare. Simple as that. Oh yeah, more and more often! I need to escape
from the Toddler’s tantrums, pouts, lies, and adult versions of “Look what
I did, Ma!” President Obama is – well, to begin with, he is an adult. 🇺🇸VOTEBLUE2020🗣…
AMERICA IS SO READY TO GET RID OF TRUMP THAT WE’RE ALL WAITING TO VOTE AS SOON
AS WE CAN!!🇺🇸💯🆗✌😂😂😂….Vote
blue no matter who in November. Put all feelings aside and support the Democrat
candidate and get to the polls in masse. Let’s get ourselves out of this
nightmare and vote in a landslide. Russian and GOP election interference can’t
overcome a landslide….100% for the sake of environmental protection, health
care, national security, equal justice, minimized gun violence ……restore
sanity. Folks do not let yourself be misled by irresponsible politicians; so get rid of the FRAUD and those who protect
him! DON’T get MAD. VOTE BLUE Tsunami 3rd November 2020, no matter whom…
The problem with losing one’s
credibility utterly and for all time is that you can never again say something
nice, without causing a riot of snickering and contempt– which trump earned
fully, and for whom no one else is responsible. We’re not about to believe that
Donald Trump means anything he says about anything, much less trying to make
nice about good citizenship or any of that. We know better! One of the things
IMPEACHED imbecilic paedophile trump aka individual 1 stole from the American
people is our deep seated desire to respect and admire our president. trump
couldn’t be more hypocritical if he tried..
ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY!!!
…“A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly
artificial: that is, when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds
in clinging to power by force or fraud. “George Orwell”
Your talking about Democrats. Get it right. They want total control of speech, firearms, and your children.
@Bryan Mcphail well, they would like to control your speech…if only to teach you proper grammar.
I shudder to think of what would have become of Michigan if it had a GOP governor.
It would be better off.
I shudder also. I have many family members there. Many in older years. However, unlike a moron they practice physical distancing, looking after their elderly, so they don’t have to go out. Avoid all apparent REPUKEANS!
You might have heard of the Flint Water Crisis….. G.O.P.
Bryan Mcphail Ask the people in Flint that question?
Nothing, which would have been the worse thing possible. Ask the people of Flint.
Electoral College created this “Madness” ! They’re accountable for this Nightmare!!!
Alvin Waldon
Never thought of that. So true! Thank you
People have to actually show up to vote this year. A lot of people (democrats) stayed home in Wayne County, Michigan for example and that helped swing Michigan’s electoral votes to Trump.
@Brandon C. Thanks for your inputs. Refreshing to correspond to Educational readers!
You said it right our vote was ignored. Electorial college and Putin created this monster blame them.
I like Presidents who don’t say they have it worse than Lincoln and then go back to the White House to tweet, eat hamburgers, and watch cable news all day.
Wow. So simple, so you mean to say, getting access to tests and doing testing and then isolating sick people works? Who knew?
Congratulations to all of Detroit for pressing on an coming together to survive this Pandemic 😷✊
This guy seems to know what he’s talking about, let him organise the country, while Tweetypie is busy on his phone.
Imagine getting lots of testing! What a concept! Imagine if we did that across the US!
Where did he get the money?
Bill Gates one month ago: After everything is closed for 6 to 10 weeks, the economy will be reopened in May and schools will reopen in the Fall.
Trump: I concur with the timeline doctor, I meant philanthropist.
Turns out the admirable Michiganders are in Detroit – not those protesting/suing Gov. Whitmer in Lansing
