    1. @Jim P Come on now…Be fair…
      That disinfectent cure is just months away…in the mean time you can always get the hydroxcloroquine for prevention…just have to ignore that whole “stopping heart” thing!!!

    1. @darknite 123222 I love it. And thank you I really didn’t want one but my wife has been begging me for 10 years

    2. @ihave35cents gotta please the better half. I’m wanting an ultralight airplane so bad I can almost taste it. By this time next year I will own one. I may be dead because of it I’ll worry about that bridge when I get there. I’ve never been off the ground I’ve always said if I was gonna die because of some drunk pilot that pilot was gonna be me. We spend our lives working for wives and kids so they can have what they want every once in awhile we gotta spoil ourselves with toys too. Trump 2020🇺🇸

    1. @Dave Waldon For now. But the clueless corona con man and his clueless cult following is only prolonging the agony.

    1. @Geo Pipe69 and you sir, are extremely ignorant and borderline racist with this very, very not so smart comment

    2. @Whicker Boy more likely.impeach trump will look good in a orange jumpsuit sitting in prison. Watching fox news.

  1. We do not need Testing or Vaccines or Cures.
    The Virus is spreading fine without them.
    We must reopen because Murica is freedumb.

  2. “You don’t know who’s been infected!” Exactly! In our state they are calling people back to work as they “rush” to reopen everything, yet they aren’t testing. So nevermind your customers, it’s your own co-workers could be infected.

    1. Geo Pipe69 – And that’s the main reason for everyone wearing a mask. Mine protects others, not me.

    2. Yes I have to go back to amazon next week after two and a half month’s gone right after the holidays

  3. But the geniuses (only the stable ones, mind you) in the cult tell us we’re living in fear if we continue isolating ourselves to avoid getting severely ill or worse. These same people told me to be afraid of Caravans from Central America, so these folks know all about fear.

  4. I agree, and you got hard-headed people still mingling in crowds with things reopening as if there’s nothing going on. That’s why this virus is going to continue into the next year.

    1. Lol whatever. Here in Arizona businesses are open, people are out doing stuff, and everything’s great. Only know two ‘friends of friends’ that had the virus…both recovered and aren’t even from this state. Viruses do what viruses do, and thinking you can shelter in place until it all dies out is folly. If you want to stay at home forever, you’re welcome to.

    2. @manofmanytrades When you don’t have scientific facts, pull out the right wing anecdote machine and tell us an unconfirmed BS story. Yes I’m calling you a liar.

    3. @DivineHeresy ..yeah looked like a whole lotta people out there trying to survive and feed their children..divineheresy

    1. @Dave Waldon oh shut up.. “..yup yup yup zippity doo dah that was so gosh darn great..”
      ..i hope you don’t infect or lose anybody..but you prolly don’t care

  5. Other countries have eased restrictions because of infections are going down; the US is easing them despite infections going up. With incompetence and cruelty personified in our national leader there’s going to be a lot more pushing up the daisies soon. I wonder who Trump will blame then? Note that this is still the first wave of the virus, grotesquely mishandled, not the second wave, where the virus itself becomes more deadly. That has yet to come.

    1. One orange cupcake can upturn the world. Everyone warned on January 21, 2020
      **SAME warning – SAME day – SAME briefing**
      TRUMP = 97,000 dead
      Germany 8352. Canada 6250. Mexico 6989. SKorea 264. Australia 101. Taiwan 7. HongKong 4

    2. @Colleen Kelly Yes I’m glad I live in Australia, however, the “opening up” of our economy is happening very slowly and we now have adequate testing so any outbreaks can be quickly contained. Because we have fewer infected people we are only wearing masks if we think we may be infected but not have symptoms – or we want to. Still doing the supermarket dance around each other.

    3. @aussie jim and importantly in Australia we have almost all our patients out of ICU so we are capable of handling spikes. US is in big trouble.

    1. Deaths per million:
      NY 1503 – NJ 1254 – CT 1036 – MA 924 – DC 612
      The other 46 states average 152 deaths per million.
      Those 4 states and DC also account for 50K of the deaths in the US. That’s more than HALF the deaths in the US concentrated in 4 states and DC.

  6. People not wearing masks just don’t care. Until they get sick or die. They don’t care about others just selfishness. Thats why USA is #1 in deaths and infections.

    1. That’s not why. We have the 3rd most populous country in the world. We are also extremely high in destinations for tourism and legal or illegal immigration. We also have New York City. You should look at the mortality rates in another countries as well. At least with the ones that aren’t full of crap.

    2. Whicker Boy hahahahahahaha he will b known in history as the most incompetent & dangerous Pres in the history of r country!!!!

    3. Sheri Parkhurst haha. Democrats say that about every Republican President at the time. Republicans say that about every Democrat President as well. It never ends. But to fair, I can understand why you would say this.

  7. This man is the man you should listen too, he is trying every way he can to get you to understand how deadly this can be. Without scaring the crap out of you all.

  8. “If we don’t test for cancer anymore, there won’t be any more cases of cancer. Boom! I just cured cancer!” – t’rump

    1. Dave Waldon I know plenty of conservatives who are avoiding crowds and taking precautions when they are out. They just aren’t brainwashed and can intellectually digest what’s going on. This disease has nothing to do with ideology.
