  1. Why are we not designating certain hospitals for Covid-19 and having leaving other hospitals for patients having heart attacks strokes, etc? You know, like other countries.

    1. @Heidi of Poétique yes. That is the hospitals coordinating. The president I am quite sure has a team on that issue as we type. I am sick to my stomach at the level of dissention displayed by msm. What is much more sickening is people like the lady I replied to eating up the anti President Trump narrative and repeating it verbatim. It is DISGUSTGING. When this settle down again I would welcome investigations into these slanderous traitors that are openly spouting propaganda. Whether it be from China russia or EITHER party. It. Has. To. Stop.

    2. @Gary Thompson Everyone keeps saying hospitals are for profit. I get that they try to make a profit where they can, but that isn’t always true. My insurance denied a surgery. I ended up in the ER, and my surgeon deemed it medically necessary for emergency surgery. I was told either the insurance would pay for it, or the hospital would do the surgery pro bono. To this day, I still do not know if my insurance paid for my neurosurgery or not. I get I am one person. I just thought that there were pandemic/ protocols in place at the very least the local metropolitan levels where population is denser.

    3. @Heidi of Poétique yes you were. And your post was actually a sensible idea. I cannot tell from your post if you are a Trump hater or a Trump lover. I was responding to another responder that I can’t find now. She may have deleted it. I am not sure how I managed to reply directly to your post instead of hers but believe me you I am very good at these things haha.

  2. *#DISGUSTING* , these medical professionals are putting their lives and families at risk and we can’t even afford to protect them with protective gears😷 *(WE’RE TALKING ABOUT LIIIIIVESS)* 😣😨🙉😒😠😡

    1. @Major Minor It’s pretty clear you DON’T go to the doctor and know anything about Hospitals. Tell you what tape a bag around your head and breathe in and out hard and that will protect you from the Chinese Flu that you’re so scared about. LOL

    2. @Mike Fernandez <----- Poor ignorant sot . Has no clue nurses, doctors , first responders wear masks when in teracting with patients of Covid 19. You wear you ignorance well.

    1. @The Yodaneer There’s like a 1 in 500 chance you’ll catch it and a 1 in 3000 chance it’ll kill you… About the same chances of getting struck by lightning… You feeling super unlucky or are you just a hysterical little girl? You want me to hold your purses while you girly-men cry about it? I guess I’d feel super unlucky too if I was any one of you stoned Losers…

  3. $718 Billion on millitary and endless wars and interventions leaving countries destroyed and countless ppl dead and still dont have enough face mask for own population or ventilators.

  4. This only makes me want to quarantine my family and me even more, like bunker lifestyle!!! Hospitals are always cesspools for germs but this is beyond frightening.

    1. How do you quarantine even more? Just stay home, it’s not the end of the world. Younger Americans are getting really sick because Americans aren’t healthy in general. You get what you put in

    2. @soylentdean I went today, people treating it was like no big deal. I was talking to my phlebotomist when he was taking my blood about the NBA, he didnt even know that the season had been suspended

    1. Robert w ,”dumb” (temporarily unable or unwilling to speak) . Sorry your comment is entirely inaccurate regarding the status of my verbal abilities.
      Judging by the 17 likes as well as an agreed comment attributed to my statement , your comment is not popular at all as you have 0 likes.
      Nice try “STUPID”.

    2. Oh please you are so petty ,of all the things to worry about and you go there ? Shameful!

  5. Wouldn’t it make sense to replicate Singapore’s model where they set up separate clinics just for Patients with Coronavirus symptoms?

    1. Stephen Young, You know as well as I do that the Reagan Administration started the major Federal funding for HIV/AIDS in the 1980s when the disease was first identified. It isn’t possible to have started that and ignored the disease “for decades” before the disease was identified you blood dancer.

    2. @Hannah wells Italy was at 5322 new cases/day yesterday.. the 19th. 10 days earlier.. on the 9th.. they were at 1797 new cases/day.. The US is at 123 new cases per day. Care to retract your insane lies? Texas has a worse government and hospital system than Italy? Who has ever said that but you?

    3. Hannah wells Exactly. To say “No thanks” to offered tests ( by WHO) was not the smartest thing to do. Well that’s done.
      (I guess Kushner’s brother wanted a piece of the cake.)

      Use the military to build temporary hospitals, so we don’t have to infest the regular hospitals with covid-19

  6. Is this similar to Orange Dip$#!+$ diagnosis of service members having mere headaches after being in a rocket attack?

    1. “Hosea 4:6, Matthew 10:16, Ephesians 6:11”

    2. Is putting the bandana on my head and drinking the bourbon also an option that may protect me.

  7. 1 trillion dollars spent on a 20 year war with no target, no plan and no enemy. But cant afford to provide masks for doctors. America.

    1. @rumba >>>MajorMinor is baiting you all for a word war<<< Actually, I am trying to get irrational people (like you) to think through what a supply chain is. People like you are completely clueless and just parrot claptrap that suits your political bias..

    2. Because sadly you americans are obsessed with war and not free healthcare.
      Same here in england but at least we have free healthcare..but brexit and pointless wars has no put it into perspective!

    3. @soul4music79 >>>This I a national emergency/global pandemic. When a national emergency is declared it is the job of the Government to step in and make things happen. The administration was way behind with their response<<< TIME LINE : March 11, pandemic is declared. March 13, Trump declares national emergency and Stanford act kicks in. March 18 Trump invokes Defense Production act (private sector manufacturing has to produce item needed to fight pandemic. Including medical equipment). soul4music in your silly mind, 7 days is "way behind with their response". You are a delusional kook choking on your own fumes of rage. How about you have a nice hot cup of shut the hell up. LOSER.

    4. Major Minor you’re an idiot. Do you seriously only listen to Trump you small minded creep?? They knew this was coming well before the national emergency was declared, you can’t be that ignorant to think that this started 7 days before that?? You need to do some research and listen to the scientists and medical professionals who know a thing or 2 about this as they are actually studying it. Also, if you were paying attention when this all started a month ago, then maybe you could’ve used your time wisely instead of commenting on YouTube to defend your master, and actually learn a little bit about all of what’s happening. Good luck to you. You’re apparently gonna need it. I hope you stay safe

  8. A 40 yr old and an 80 yr old in the er, both need a ventilator, icu has 1 ventilator available, guess who gets the ventilator?

    1. The pop star or footballer who are pencilled in for it.Both 40 and 80 are left to die if their immune system can’t fight it..

  9. I can’t help but think I’m seeing only one-tenth of the picture. So many unanswered questions. Hmmm to be a fly on some walls.

  10. The number one priority should be to get the capability to do mass testing. I think the government knows the United States isn’t capable of doing that for a while, so eventually a lockdown will be the only solution.

  11. We shouldn’t have sent all our manufacturing to China. Ramping production up here takes time. It’s happening now.

  12. Yup, 15 patients will be none in no time … a miracle will happen … Captain Corruption is a very stable genius!

    1. Oh, but he doesn’t remember saying that now, and his supporters have declared it fake news, so history has been changed. 🙂

    2. Hey dufus ,i guess your so smart youd have guessed different huh? All he knows is what he is told ..same as you dingle berry …

    3. @Stacy Lynn Sutherland You don’t need to be smart to know better. EVERYONE knew better. Go home, bot.

  13. USA: 7 trillions USD on military budget in the last 10 years. However, the Healthcare system is the least efficient in the world per capita.
    “;-)

  14. The US is so unprepared. These are std protocol which the medical staffs should follow. What a let down
