I can just hear the chorus of deniers claiming a contagion mutation is a false narrative. This is gonna get worse, “Murica.
cerveza virus we bent over to the marxist organization BLM.
@bngr bngr A virus does not play politics. It does not discriminate between republicans, democrats, progressives, BLM, KKk, antifa, ultraright groups, nationalities passports etc.
If a virus is able to enter a nose or lungs it will infect.
The only way to combat the virus is when all those groups work together.
Rabbit,
just organize HUGE “protest” with rioting and looting’s and all virus fears disappear.
@cerveza virus Why do you think the mutation is false?
@Okkie Trooy Its either
IGNORANCE OR ARROGANCE
cerv, just proved the denials are amount us…
I was going to diet but I threw my scale out instead.
I took the speedometer out of my car, now I never speed.
Definitely a terrible time to have someone as incompetent and dishonest as typhoid trump in the Oval Office
when you have to simplify that testing does not make more cases… we are dealing with some really ignorant stupidity
Cases are irrelevant 95% RECOVERY RATE 😆🤣. Unless you are over 80 with MANY OTHER underlying health issues.
G.T.O. Momma, Do you not understand that 5% is shockingly high? Further, the transmission is twice as high as the seasonal flu so in gross numbers more people will undoubtedly die unless serious measure are taken
Paranoia, The increase in death rate will come following the spike. That’s the way it works
@Geoffrey K Nope, it is getting weaker due to herd immunity 😉
Mike you are mistaken because the test could have been improved and if they are using a new testing method during this surge of “positive cases” then it would be worth noting
TRUMP LOGIC: “I stopped gaining weight when I stopped weighing myself.”
Ha Ha I’ll have to try that diet!!!
Intel had BRIEFED the Killer-Clown that his “fine people” were distributing the vector to minority communities, gratis – TWO WEEKS before HUGE “racial disparities” (blamed on “Genetics” and “Lifestyle”) began to appear in the US mortality rates…
Two weeks is the same time that elapsed between the US participation in the military games in Wuhan and the first soldiers showing signs of COVID.
The incubation period for Coronavirus is TWO WEEKS…🤔🤔🤔…
@Annie Blasengame Many science investigations in many countries have shown the virus is not from China. This virus was found in many countries before the outbreak in China. You need to read more science news instead of listening to Trump. Here are some of the investigations:
New York: https://nypost.com/2020/04/09/new-york-area-coronavirus-outbreak-originated-primarily-in-europe-not-china-report/
France:https://www.btimesonline.com/articles/131163/20200429/coronavirus-asia-new-study-indicates-french-outbreak-not-from-china.htm
Australia: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-03-22/PM-Morrison-80-percent-Australia-cases-are-imported-mostly-from-U-S–P41uG3CfWU/index.html
Britain: http://www.sci-news.com/medicine/three-variants-sars-cov-2-coronavirus-08313.html
Canada also found out recently their cases are mostly from US and Spain (both are 30+%). The cases from China is 0.08%. You can look for that science studies news.
@Nor Dic China Virus is just as racist as Russia collusion. BOTH ARE NATIONS, neither is a RACE….IDIOT 😆
@Annie Blasengame “made in”? Stop pushing conspiracy theories.
the fact that other countries have this under control,, says the U.S.A. does not know how to get under control
I can’t think of another country where the virus was so politicised as it was in the US. Most other countries pulled together, co-operated and flattened the curve. Many of the people in the US have gone out of their way to do exactly the opposite of what they were told would help.
Without social distancing, this cannot be controlled. Not every mask is 100% foolproof. Even doctors and health care workers wearing masks were infected
When is the last time you watched news from any other country? I mean stop buying into this bullshit. China has gone back under quarantine as well as 100s of other countries.
@mike yeghiayan You are correct. This virus is still not under control in countries with large population.
@A Z If everyone wore a mask, then I believe the risk of infection drops to something like 1.5%, but if only you wear a mask and the infected doesn’t, then you may have a 70% chance of infection.
Like everything organic, the virus, wants to live. Mutating is normal.
This country has some very stupid individuals, elected, and not elected.
As a Canadian if our prime minister snowed the media the way Trump outright lies ln his press conferences the country would call for him to resign!
No he’s just a outright convicted criminal and not once but twice and now with the new investigation started over this 900 million he’s working on a trifecta he’s no better then Trump just a different side of the coin!
1. Im african american with a lot of Canadian friends, so maybe I can help. 2. This is about racism and nothing else. 2. NEVER compare the GREAT people of Canada to Americans. 3. “Americans will always do the right thing, AFTER THEY HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE” …Winston Churchill. 4. America is done.
Why do his tweets still require debunking. A good general rule is: if Trump said/tweeted it, it isn’t true.
Exactly, if his lips are moving, he’s lying. It’s going to miraculously disappear….
Actually, it’s more than likely true. This lady is paid off CNN is FAKE NEWS!
Trump is right again and again. Too bad democrats are always wrong.
@Solstice of Snow Uh, gee. Could it be because he’s a traitor who gets so pissed off when briefings are about Russia’s dirty deeds that his advisers no longer brief him on Russia?
Well, the fact that Russia is putting up bountys for our troops is actually not factual. It is why he was not breifed on it, it was because he is not going to do anything about something that is backed on partial evidence that may not even be true.
If I don’t read my herpes test results, does that mean I will quit getting these sores?
Appreciated response. Gross. But ugh:) Especially from someone named “magical beans”.
If you don’t have symptoms, do they still think that you have herpes? Otherwise how else do you know if it is spreading?
Only when you stop the cunninglingus! Or tossing salad.
Herpes test result? … if you don’t test then you don’t have herpes… and if you do the test….don’t worry…it will go away…like a miracle and if it doesn’t go away… don’t worry. .. inject disinfectant or use high UV light. …
I would like to thank all the doctors who know what they’re talkin about because we have a non-believer in the White House who just don’t care
Once he’s out of the white house, he needs to move to a federal penitentiary

Media Lie # 2
“It’s not China”
The SARS-nCOV-19 virus has been linked to wild bats, originating in the Wuhan province in China.
Biologist have been reporting this for years. We need limited trade relations with counties (see China) that allow their population to eat uncooked wild monkey, rats, bats and exotic birds. These all carry flu viruses that have infected us for decades.

“Obama was competent and proactive on the H1N1 pandemic in 2009.”
There were three epidemics during Obama’s tenure.
2009 – H1N1 Swine flu (pandemic)
2012 – MERS-cov (coronavirus strain)
2014 – Ebola
How many died from Swine Flu Pandemic in 2009?
203,000 +
How many Americans died?
12,500 – 30,000 +
The swine-flu pandemic of 2009 may have killed up to 203,000 people worldwide—10 times higher than the first estimates based on the number of cases confirmed by lab tests, according to a new analysis by an international group of scientists. Nov 26, 2013

@Rell Tired of sheep CAN’T WAIT TILL NOVEMBER!!
Hildebeast Clinton Ok. I see your statistics; but, there are hospitals full of people infected with covid-19 in many different countries. I want to believe this isn’t real but it is unfortunately. Your statistics maybe factual/true, but it doesn’t eliminate the fact that thousands of people at present are ill/infected or have died from corona virus. I am so sorry for the US, for the state of the world. At this moment everyone is truly suffering. It makes me sad. Thankyou for your effort in presenting your research. In this present moment, don’t you think it a lil’ futile, pointless, stating who was President at the time when each virus hit? The present moment, now, we are a complete & utter mess. It doesn’t make any difference who is President. The viruses infect people regardless. At first news of the corona virus I didn’t want to believe this is really happening so I was sourcing information as you have done. Now I think what’s the point? We cannot change this situation. Thankyou. Much regard to you & your country.
Where are the doctors that know what they are talking about. Only see this Chinese lady. Oh yeah, China gave the world corona.
By debunk, you mean not everyone knows that everything coming out of his mouth is as fake as his hair, face and fortune?😄
The fact that this doctor has to explain the painfully obvious is just mind bending.
You’re right, however Trump supporters won’t be watching so it is really a moot point.
Pete Pav MEGA
I think this is fake news…. and CNN is skewing data. When you test a population over a period of time, you should remove the population that isn’t showing symptoms. I don’t think they are doing that, especially once they leave the hospital whether to through death or recovery.
You could line up 50 doctors who would disagree with her. Doctors can be political too.
Remember when he said the corona virus was a “HOAX?” Trump is the worst president ever thousands of people lost their lives because of him.
Oh ok. What about state governments that did not have enough ventilators or PPE ?
How about how he said (at Tulsa Rally), that he didn’t know & not-one could tell him what the ’19’ meant in COVID19- I mean come on- Even children can tell you what the 19 means. What a moron
@A Z Apparently the US is again going to face a shortage of ventilators and PPE? So yet again he hasn’t stocked the ‘bare cupboards’??
@Bagnath Mari maybe I’m a moron too, but what does the 19 stand for ?
Trump: ,, doctor, I think I am having a stroke ”
Doctor: ,, just ignore it it . It will miraculously go away . in a minute. in a minute..it’s a hoax..
Jeremy Wittekind 😂😂People who gravitate towards conspiracy theories have been found to be on the unhealthy side of the mental health continuum. You need help. But you probably don’t have access to decent mental health care down there. No wonder there are so many kooks like you in your country. Even your FBI has stated that conspiracy theorists are dangerous. Sick and dangerous and kind of dumb.
Poll is fake, Virus is fake, media is fake everything that is not Trumps way is fake. The virus will disappear magically after the November election. Confirmed by Eric Trump.
The FAKE DEM HOAX SO FAR have 2,800,000 cases 130,000 American deaths. All caused by the testing. To save lives…Less testing will result less cases in turn less deaths. Trust Trump
@An Jin San LOL
@An Jin San LOLOLOL Thanks, I needed that laugh!
@An Jin San ok ok take a breath you are getting to excited
What can u do when a president has NO REGARD FOR BASIC SCIENCE? He neglects medical evidence & FACTS!
He actually did take account of those, but medical saftey does not come first over the people’s rights, which is something most medical experts, such as Fouci, ignore.
WHO tweeted in January there is no clear evidence of human to human transmission.
@A Z Oh right, I forgot, the science we are supposed to follow ricochets into other random points going bing bing bong.
@Solstice of Snow If you think Trump takes medical evidence into account when he tweets but ‘chooses’ people’s rights instead, there’s really no point in further discussion.
Well yeah, nothing is more important than a persons freedom, for it is a God givin right.
“Doctor debunks Trump tweet on Covid-19”
: Doctor tells the nation their president is an idiot.
I’m in Europe and I barely can stand his idiocy. I can’t imagine how it’s like to actually be in the same country as him,..
It sucks ☹️
I think the present company was in tears on the election night in 2016 … ha ha 😆
It is beyond horrifying.
You’re right brother. Even us as US citizens can’t believe how the hell we are living in the same country as this idiot, and even worst how the hell he is our President. But let me tell you a secret “(Obama is still my President)”. Ssshhhhh.🤫🤫🤫🤫
@Sabrina Lancaster lol
Ask most doctors when will COVID 19 end and they’ll respond by saying
” I don’t know, I’m not a politician”.
Brace yourselves, Trumpies. A smart woman is about to speak about SCIENCE…
disturbing to know that she will be disagreed with and more shockingly smeared
As a scientist, can tell you that numbers can be fudged to help whomever you want to help.
Science is owned…via Government grants 😉
HOWARD BOYD, I’m a scientist too and I would agree with you in principle, but to this extent and across so many different metrics/measures, this is not a matter of fudging numbers
“Positivity rate” is simply too complicated for Trump and his education-deficient followers to grasp.
