  1. The rich our sending us out to work to die while making them rich, population control is real people

    1. Possibly, but if all the workers died, there would be no one to do the work and they would all go bankrupt. That logic seems a bit flawed.

    2. The rich put the blm money in their pockets. And they are white. Who are they? The white liberal

  2. COVID-19: “Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear the first time, so let me try again. I am an equal opportunity virus. To me, all of your lives are equally worthless. I am immune to Trump’s lies and gaslighting. Ignorance and misinformation from Trump and Fox only makes me stronger. I can’t be defeated with phony patriotism, guns, flag waving, or denial. I can’t be defeated with magic, because I am real, and magic is not. I can only be defeated with science, facts, maturity, unselfishness, and common sense. I am nothing like the flu, but the flu is a fan of mine, and it wants to be like me when it grows up. Trying to ignore me won’t save you. I can’t be defeated with thoughts and prayers, so going to places of worship won’t save you. You may not be interested in me, but I am obsessed with you. Currently there is no vaccine for me, and that’s the problem. I recognize no one’s authority. Selfish ignorant people like Trump and his cult are the wind beneath my wings, they give me life. I may have lost some strength in other countries, but thanks to Trump, America is making me great again.” 💪😆

    1. @26 different qurans is ‘perfect quran preservation’ -Um, we’re in July, not April! Normal people will look at the newest scientific facts.

    1. @209 Michoacan – Dude … I live in Silicon Valley. Highest GDP per capita in the nation, 3rd in the world. We don’t care about you or your cult. We make things happen here because we believe in hard work and paying attention to facts. And guess what? 70% of us hate your cult leader.

    2. @209 Michoacan – You are not impressing me. I bought my first home here in Silicon Valley in 1973 for $20,000. It is worth $1.8 million now. I still own that home. I retired 21 years ago at age 50 without a pension nor a 401K because …. I could. When I got in the market, the record high of 1,000 was set just 2 years before. I’m still in the market, but 85% of my portfolio is now in value stock & guaranteed interests accounts. Don’t need to expose myself needlessly and I don’t need to be the richest guy in the cemetary.

    3. @209 Michoacan – And by the way. Your cult leader held a “law enforcement & race relations” meeting in Dallas recently. Guess which Dallas law enforcement officials he didn’t invite? Only the top 3. The District Attorney, the Sheriff & the Chief of Police. The fact that they were Black more than qualified them for the “race relations” portion of the meeting. So, the Black mayor decided not to attend the racist’s meeting. Your cult leader is a racist and so are you.

  3. Quite sad that the orange man’s legacy will be felt by 2 or 3 generations, as many will have issues later in life do to the long term effects of the virus.

    1. @citizenxgen the Stupidity of Komrade Trump is Strong in You. #WhinyBitch #Traitor45ForPrison2020

  4. Trump says its just the sniffles!🤷‍♀️ of course, we believe what Trump says!

  5. Young folks: I’m not worried about the Corona! You only live once!
    Everyone: Yeah, but what if your parents get it and they die?
    Young folks: Whatever.
    Their parents: 😳😬

    1. @Ash Roskell We do not need gov’t run health care. Psst…just so you know, it is not, will not be free!

    2. @ra5928 The more you test the more cases. Recovered: 6,755,324 April 24, 2020 CDC Yes, we all have the virus now….
      Symptoms: Fever, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Chills, Repeated shaking with chills, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat, New loss of taste or smell

    3. @Cali Marie – No matter how it is spun, the United States population is 4% of the world’s population. United States death total from covid-19 is 25% of the world’s total. That is total failure.

    4. @Landon’s Channel Yeah – with lung damage, that is less likely. The lung damage can be seen but it is possible that other damage has been done to the body that is not visible or obvious right now. There are reports of people becoming diabetic over the space of a few weeks because of the virus. Diabetics generally speaking do not live as long as other people.

      So… perhaps a little consideration for everybody – including your parents. Or have you had “that” conversation with them? You know – the one where you told them that they are not valued members of society, that you don’t care about them and that they are to be ‘sacrificed’ so that you can make another dollar / live your life ‘normally’.

  6. So frustrating. I have been saying this for months. Viruses are tricky.
    We don’t know enough to think that getting it will not cause problems in
    the future. Just because you have no symptoms.Putting everyone in harms
    way is not appropriate. A country full of people with damaged lungs. Ok
    when you are young . Not so great in a country with very very expensive
    health care. Young people having parties to try and get covid 19. So arrogant.

  7. After having COVID, I never believe anyone who says some people are asymptomatic. Not possible for this virus to do no damage once you have contracted it. People might not act sick, but they are sick.

    1. Cali Marie that would be true…..if it were true, but it’s not. 17 intelligence agencies agree that Russia was running a troll farm from the Internet Research Agency out of St. Pete. and outsourcing the same job to various African and Middle East trolls. Next time you want to argue, maybe try quitting the IRA and seeking a real job, start with dishes and you’ll move up quick. You seem like a lovely lady bot

    2. @Cali Marie Asymptomatic means that you don’t have the fever, cough, etc. that outwardly show that you are infected.

      However, that doesn’t mean the virus isn’t doing damage. Researchers have found evidence of inflammation in lungs of asymptomatic patients. Sometimes it’s temporary, but sometimes it causes scarring, which is permanent. There is also evidence that the virus is attacking other organs, like heart, kidneys, and the brain.

      Even asymptomatic children have developed a severe inflammatory response that has been deadly.

      Like I said, it’s a nasty virus.

    3. ​@Chad Campbell Yeah, I know that respiratory viruses mutate and the vaccine is only good for last year’s major strain.

      However, the flu kills less than 1% of those infected.

      Right now, the coronavirus death rate is 5.9%. Now, that decreased from the earlier 9% rate, but still it is so much higher than the flu.

      Thing is, we have no defense whatsoever against COVID-19. But, like you, I’ve no desire to beta-test the vaccine. Let someone else find the”app’s” bugs, exploits, and crashes. On the other hand, though, I’ve also no desire to become a COVID-19 petri dish either.

      It is huge a dilemma.

    4. @Cali Marie Oh, and by the way, everyone who can should get tested. The disease is highly infectious and even if you’re one of the lucky folks who don’t have symptoms and aren’t being damaged by the virus, those around you may not be so lucky.

      At the very least, all people should wear masks.

      P.S. Whoever told you that COVID-19 felt like the flu lied.

    5. @Jeweled Bird Well I have had it, and it’s a killer. Sad thing is, I thing I’ll probably get it again before this thing is all said and done.

  8. Even “mild” cases can result in lasting damage. This is not something to take lightly. Ever.

    1. Recovered: 6,755,324 April 24, 2020 CDC Yes, we all have the virus now….
      Symptoms: Fever, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Chills, Repeated shaking with chills, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat, New loss of taste or smell

    2. @randomnickify 99.9% of our police are wonderful and do their jobs in an excellent and professional manner.
      “The odds of an unarmed American who does not pose a direct threat being shot by the police are fewer than one-in-a-million — again, less than your chances of being struck by lightning, or killed by bees or wasps.”

    3. @Cali Marie from what we see and hear recently looks like 9.99% is wonderful, rest is just efing racist 🙂

  9. I hate to mention this, but China has far earlier probably by a few months to start screening lungs of every patient costing hopsitals for infection inspection… Seems like US is nowhere near to start that process due to the skyrocketing cases. Long way to dig out of this shithole. And 1 inch deeper you get into now, 5 times harder to get out for recovery, for being able to accurately identify infections and prevent spreading on the source. The chemical testing has proven to be not reliable in multiple countries, guess here we just want to cover up that deficit…

  10. This virus is going to keep circulating. It’s far worse than we can imagine. You can ignore it or think you “know” it, but every day it keeps showing us more and more.

  11. I’ve been aware of this for a long time but it seems rarely talked about. People need to understand that just because they’re unlikely to die, doesn’t mean they won’t suffer long-lasting health problems. It may even damage the immune system and/or the brain. It’s now looking more likely that people will be able to contract the virus again after X amount of time. Maybe round 1 didn’t get them, but what about round 2…3? Even if you’re young and healthy, there are still LOTS of reasons to remain very cautious. We still have a lot to learn about this virus, which is a scary thing.

    1. I tossed caution to the wind. So what if I infect a few others. Morality is subjective so if I feel it’s ok, then it’s ok.

    2. What have scientists learned about the common cold? It is now a Covid symptom. Recovered: 6,755,324 April 24, 2020 CDC Yes, we all have the virus now….
      Symptoms: Fever, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Chills, Repeated shaking with chills, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat, New loss of taste or smell

  12. In March, Taiwan developed handheld CT scanners to use at testing centers to immediately ID asymptomatic cases based on lung damage. WHY is the US just figuring this out now? China first told us in Late January or early Feb that they were using 5G technology to CY scam patients at remote locations without doctors. So…what’s going on here? Imagine if we tested with imaging how many we could test daily and no backlog. Chemical tests could be a double confirmation.

    1. @Cali Marie Considering standard CT scan equipment , its radiation dose may be outweighing benefits of the lung scanning. In my opinion a better test (that can identify infection right away, not after 7 days should be a top priority

    2. @Cali Marie -Why would you even think that a website can diagnose you? Of course it can’t say that you have COVID-19 for certain without doing the COVID-19 testing.

    3. @mkrp4 If someone is tested positive right away…what would that do? People are treated for severe symptoms only. Should we scan peoples lungs every week?”

    4. @Jen Robbie You do not need testing unless you have severe symptoms. I don’t think a website can diagnose you. The site now says if you have a cold, headache, etc. you probable have the virus. Ridiculous.

    5. @Cali Marie -Not true. You don’t have to have severe symptoms in order to get tested. People with no symptoms have been getting tested since we got more tests and they’re finding that MANY people have been exposed or are asymptomatic. If that website is saying that because you have cold symptoms then you have the virus then I would find a more reputable website because that IS diagnosing you.

    1. @Jo-Erlend Schinstad There are many people who are sharing the truth but are ignored by the liberal media and they are having their jobs threatened.

    2. ​@Cali Marie: This is hybrid warfare, it’s not American vs American. As a Norwegian, a country that’s even smaller than it is rich, I pay attention to the whole world. Norway has 40% of its savings in your economy. Nobody wants you to succeed more than we do, including the average American, who doesn’t own shares in your market. You’re receiving false information. If you doubt your government, trust the Norwegians. We all have a stake in this.

    1. Yeah, all but the totally batsh*t Trolls had changed from “the virus is entirely a hoax — all the hospitals are empty and it is all faked like the moon landings and school shootings and climate change” to “99% of them are just fine, it is just like getting a cold or at absolutely worst a minor flu” — led in this last move by the President himself you notice. His position is now “hopefully it will all disappear, but until it does or we get a vaccine it is 99% totally harmless!” — I don’t think that is true.

    2. @jvsnyc: Trump brags that the death rate is only 5% while saying the virus is 99% harmless. He’s both hateful and insane, but first of all, he’s seriously stupid.

    3. @Jo-Erlend Schinstad What is so painful is he doesn’t have to be smart, he just needs to convince a large enough people even dumber than him to re-elect him King of the Morons. With all the other very real issues so evident, that fact is the molten core.

    4. @jvsnyc: They’re not convinced. They’re submitted. They’re trained to do so. It’s one of the reasons I’m opposed to religion.

  13. USA….1/4..of the worlds deaths, yet only 4% of the population….that is really bad. People in the US think that they have so many deaths because they are an enormous country, but they are only 4% of the world population. Save your people…do something!!! 🇪🇸

  14. I’m most worry is when we get the VACCINE and we can’t use it, because the Virus has change
