Economy Can't Reopen Without Testing, Says Doctor | Morning Joe | MSNBC
“We have a test for everyone that wants one”, we haven’t even tested 1% of 330 million people, we need 30 million tested right away.
@Judith Aldridge You’ll have to color me surprised then. This fake administration and the repubs/baggers at *all* levels of government are simply incredible.
@Hazel McCloy Have you listened to Dr Fauci yet if not you should.
@Jerry Haase Doubt it dear. Bye now
But if your in the White House you get a test every day and night and alfter every meeting with the press and anyone the meets with the President and the cabinet so when he say’s he’s stopping testing does that mean for them? Because the State’s are doing theirs not the Government.
@Deb Kellar You know it doesn’t include them just like Jared said last week that the federal government’s ventilators “are ours”. “Ours” as in who…not the hospitals and medical facilities that need them.
“Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel the pain”
This is truth https://youtu.be/D2kfT3qVrRI
Who in their right mind would be thinking of money and self-interests rather than the life of others…? Only a person who suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Let us ponder some following points: –
Covid-19 is a highly contagious virus…
It has been recorded that the RNA is evolving, the current strain of Covid-19 strain in the US has been identified mostly coming from Europe…
It has been reported that 20-30% of the population would die is no actions taken…
The expediential infections are mostly in highly populated areas and city’s…
Who are the likely people that are most valuable within these city’s…?
How would all these deceased victims have voted in the presidential election?
Just saying, I think that anything is possible with the cult in power…
Gooey 911
Go take your Paxil buddy.
@Gooey 911 you wouldn’t know an educated statement if it hit you in the head with a 2×4. Psycho
@Gooey 911 – “We know that you speak for ‘colage edukated republiKKKlans’ when you say how lucky you are to have tRump, a megalomaniac who wants to control the world, working with Putin to enslave humanity. And how cool is it that you will be housed in cages, tattooed with the tRump brand where you can be scanned just like livestock, allowing only his lap dogs to take part in society? Psycho tRump is your saviour which is why he will always votes Red!”
Explains why trump is throwing Monkey Wrench in Testing. America must fail because he’s a Failure. Wait till farmers get infected then we’ll starve.
@Patricia Krumscheid What are you talking about?
@Michael Combs there not selling the food give it away
The farmers can help is that good enough for you
@Patricia Krumscheid Your grammar is so poor that I can’t even understand you. It doesn’t appear that you don’t comprehend what was being discussed.
@Michael Combs what r u saying trump’s doing the rite things for the u.s.a.
Ur so shallow
@Patricia Krumscheid The original commenter said that we will starve if farmers cannot work. I said that is incorrect as we have a surplus of food at present. We will not starve. Additionally, most most farming is automated. If farmer Joe can’t milk the cows, kids aren’t going to have to put soda in their Corn Pops. These are apolitical and factual statements. Your incoherent ramblings contain some weird assumptions. I’m not sure if you are mentally handicapped, or new to the language. Either way, you should refrain from commenting on here.
Whilst I totally agree with the only way forward is, test, test, test
Sadly, you have a leader who is suffering with Narcissistic Personality Disorder who is unable to face the truth as this would damage his ego…
The point to remember that the current isolation is NOT a cure, it only helps the overstretch medical systems and in turn lowers the death rate…
Grow up professor…
@Joel Stuart Bless you my child
Bless you my child for you have sinned…
@1harperaj Am I a bad boy? Do I need to be spanked?
@Michael Combs Ha ha, ha ha…
You seen through my satire
Over the last 3 1/3 yrs trump has dismantled the EPA, we have seen a huge upswing in upper respiratory issues with the old, the compromised, the young, with everybody. We all were comprised before the virus even got here.
@Gary Quarty i didnt give you any numbers….feel free to Google upper respiratory illness and pollution. You will get plenty of sites to choose from. I recommend you read them all.
That’s an interesting statement because the pollution levels have dropped during Trump’s administration.. I suspect it is all the dope smoking being done that is harming folks.
And Al Gore said the world would end years ago. Give it a rest. There are real problems going on right now.
@orphan 200 Not at all, he’ll be elected by a landslide. He’s trying to brace you for the Durham report and all the traitorous DOJ Dems getting what they deserve.
Total b.s.
I completely agree. It’s amazing to me that a man who claims he really “gets this medical stuff” wouldn’t understand how important the testing is. In fact, it’s so important, that if every American had been tested for coronavirus, we could’ve just quarantined the people who were positive and not EVERYONE! This was the biggest blunder we could imagine an American president making and I think that the media should be making that point more.
Greatest president in history…period.
Joel Stuart But only greatest at exploding the debt to give tax cuts to his rich cronies.
Nah, this is the perfect crisis for these politicians to funnel the American taxpayers money to their donors and people at the top in the form of bailouts while the middle class and less fortunate get screwed once again.
@Joel Stuart Wrong planet. three sigma on negative side of IQ bell curve is
my thinking. Trump is an AH, even his eyes are brown cause . . . LOL
@james morton when you get to a point where you’re walking around with ten billion in the bank, then talk.
If testing and other preventive measures were deployed immediately to contain the outbreak. We would not have to close down the entire country.
The current mass fatalities and catastrophic economic disaster are the direct result of the federal government failing to plan to protect the health and safety of the American people against this biosecurity threat.
Several other countries have been very successful in keeping the number of fatalities and the duration of the outbreak low.
@hunger4theTRUTH you obviously don’t have a TS security clearance or any friends in high places. I’m a retired Intel officer that speaks Mandarin & my wife speaks Russian but we are both American born & raised. You won’t believe anything you don’t want to hear so it’s fine for me to tell you the truth is this is a bioweapon made by CCP in the Wuhan virus lab. China & Russia came together to release the virus at the super bowl to destabilize the US and replace America as the dominant powers in the world. One of the doctors at the lab in Wuhan accidentally caught the virus in November at it leaked to the community so they blamed it on the seafood market. China’s own virus researchers have said that a bat- borne virus would more likely come out of southern China if it was natural. The u.s. government knows the truth as informed by the intelligence community. The reason they can’t tell the public the truth is because people are too stupid and a certain group of people with guns would go around slaughtering Asian-Americans who are completely Innocent & there would be chaos. Bill Gates literally is a philanthropist who helps & saves millions of lives. you are sadly misguided & paranoid but wish you the best
@Archie Morgan wish you the best aswell but I’m not misguided or paranoid in anyway if the ingredients your friend BILL puts in his VACCINE go directly against my beliefs as an American. No ones tracking me with a biometric microchip in a so called “vaccine” made possible with 5g and beyond wake up sir open your eyes
@Priscilla Robb But he also said he’s the WARTIME PRESIDENT and AMERICA’S CHEERLEADER!
@hunger4theTRUTH yes, that stimulus payment is designed to track you too. Don’t let them give you money. /s
It’s state government as well, not just the feds. They’ve been calling for another pandemic for years and years and here we are.
What do we not understand about greed rules supreme?
Yet you promote voter fraud. That makes no sense.
I think the lack of testing is an effort to under report the actual number of cases and deaths. Remember, only 16 people died in Puerto Rico.
Kay P ,,,Yes,,,And what about the people who died in January and early February from “the flu.” How will they be tested if they have been buried or cremated. We will never know how many people died of the Coronavirus.
BINGO!!! I would submit that the actual number of U.S. cases is seriously under-reported because even people with 90% of the symptoms are being refused to be seen and or tested. How many cases are in the U.S.?
I agree but this will backfire. Exponential growth has a way to explode the numbers no matter which carefully chosen artificially low measurement you use.
I just saw on You Tube that there are THREE types of the CCP virus circulating throughout the World! It is mutating, “adapting to races” the man said. See <https://youtu.be/2yrVoxNB9gQ>
@ 10:50
Unless its guaranteed virus is at minimum level or treatment is found, the Economy should not open. Period. Well wishes to all from Germany!
World of Aviation right now I want to live anywhere in the USA. I’ve spent so much time and effort in setting sanitized systems into homeless encampments and need working with case managers to house homeless families in families to prevent them from bein* in the streets. Republicans never think about the problems before it hits and never see a evil bone in Donnie’s body
@James Montgomery this number is to be decided by health officials..make thing is spread is not there even though everyday may be double digit or so people get infected in a whole country or region as health care system can easily deal with those numbers
@M K great efforts. Keep it up. Homeless ppl are very vulnerable and high risk virus dispensers
It IS at a minimum level. It will not reach the same numbers as flu deaths per year at this rate.
@ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt comparison of two different things
Trump only plans for next election, even if it cost lives. So long as the economy looks good for the election.
Wow, way to show off that intelligence. Yea let’s save 20,000 people by locking down and let 10+ *million* people die in the depression that follows. Leftist logic! But remember that less people means less climate change! Spread the love for mother Earth!
@Howard Jones Doctors are telling the truth and Howard talks about politics.
People are dieing Howard from a virus that has shut down the world. Please come out of your cave.
Jimmy Jemal totally agree! People’s live has no meaning for TRUMP, presidency does!
“We have to quickly forget about this” (and go back to worrying about caravans, or something) 🙄
Grow up..
Thats Trump’s point
He does not want testing so the numbers look good and he can reopen the country !
@Hildebeast Clinton , The irony is Trump’s racism toward Mexicans has apparently protected Mexico from Coronavirus by restricting the border (ahh, karma).
But his Anglophile love allowed the coronavirus to infect America.
Most covid-19 victims in the USA have the European strain.
@Hildebeast Clinton , You thumbsucking, foreign twit,
Trump is such a habitual liar that he is incapable of being honest, even when being honest would serve his interests. He is so impulsive, shortsighted, and undisciplined that he is unable to plan or even think beyond the moment. He is such a divisive and polarizing figure that he long ago lost the ability to unite the nation under any circumstances and for any cause. And he is so narcissistic and unreflective that he is completely incapable of learning from his mistakes. The president’s disordered personality makes him as ill-equipped to deal with a crisis as any president has ever been. With few exceptions, what Trump has said is not just useless; it is downright injurious.
@Hildebeast Clinton ??? I have been to Venezuela but never in Mexico.. i take your word it is a nice country too.
It is hard for me to “go home” since me and my family have been living here in northern Europe for thousands of years. You know the home of white people where your family was not talented enough to live..

It’s time to rid the planet of your little creepiness and craziness. We could all use a break.
This is by and large the consensus. However, since the entire testing system is chaotic it could become complicated to say the least. In any case Trump will not have people’s health in mind when pushing for his Wallstreet agenda.
This could have and likely would have been 5,000 deaths (!) if Trump had listened and prepared adequately. Still a tragedy but
Not of this magnitude…
@Anne Fogarty it could have been less than that he wouldn’t send ventilators until they massaged his ego, he has made a total mess of this and he should pay for it
@Nero Then make him pay ,vote in November.
Trump didn’t start the virus, but his delayed actions exasperated the problem. There are still deaths that he caused.by his inaction. Remember this in November.
@livingmybest life in addition mayor promoted all NY gatherings for the St Patrick’s day and Chinese New Year celebration.
@VanGiai Do ‘Come to China town’ -Pelosi
These are the same people who castigated Trump when he cut off China travel. Democrats howled about over reacting on Trumps part.
@Joel Stuart “Come to China town” -Pelosi
Impeachment Mt Rushmore forever
The U.S. has 3x as many cases as any other country, but relative to population, we rank 46th in the world in testing. Totally failed leadership by Trump.
@Howard Jones Stupid, incoherent, and malevolent. You’ve perfectly summarized what it means to be a MAGAt.
Trump has done a excellent job providing what he has to work with…Fauci a deep state witch doctor that has been wrong about everything…..The fake MSM lying and misrepresents everything Trump says and does….The Democrats that turned the stimulus into a money laundering scam….Shutting down the economy for a virus with a 98% recovery rate….
Testing is not the answer, it’s going to be the problem, watch ,wait and see….
@Glock Coley How could testing ever be a problem ? ? ? Testing only gives you the knowledge you need to know how to proceed.
Grow up.
That flattening of curve is not actually accurate with out testing!
The curve won’t be flatened if we reopen.
@Drake Fire Not any more. They had 91 people yesterday who had tested positive and survived test positive again. They don’t know if it is the original infection reactivating or they were exposed a second time or if the test are faulty. Bottom line, they know very little about this.
@hunger4theTRUTH what is the algorithm mate?
@Peter Taylor It’s a form of mass media monitoring that the government uses to control what people can say and see when they use the internet. Look up jadehelm it’s real and true. Alot of YouTube truthers have been getting threatened to be shut down because of this algorithm tightening up on free speech
@Peter Taylor Alot of conspiracy theorist youtube channels that are actually very credible wont even show up on your results feed when looking up stuff that goes against the agenda of the ALGORITHM,BEAST SYSTEM,NWO whatever you wanna see it as
Donald Trump: ‘I could shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters’
His reaction to Covid-19 is just another method of murder. It’s just on a larger scale. How many lives have to be lost so he can prove a point?
Trump told his doctor,: ‘Every day I wake up, I look in the mirror, I want to throw up. What’s wrong with me?’ The doctor replied: “I don’t know, but your eyesight is perfect.”
@1harperaj The electoral vote pretty much wipes your argument out
@1harperaj Like money for Planned parenthood. Baby Killing in a Covid 19 bill.
Yep Leftists tried it on.
I will happily kick the guts 100 times of any Leftwing woman who wants an abortion. I will kick that Demon seed out.
Grow up..
It’s so great that people like Tom Hanks can get tested for CV-19 when just displaying mild cold symptoms. So fantastic that the movie making business is an essential business. I’m sure that anyone who was refused a test because of availability would have gladly offered their test kit to Tom Hanks for the good of the Hollywood film business!!!
He doesn’t want testing because the results are bad optics for HIM AND HIS CAMPAIGN. This happens when you elect an inept and mentally ill con.
You don’t want to re-open the economy because you want to destroy it.
Grow up kiddo.
Trump will have this doctor silenced soon!!
You that stupid?? Really? God help us with people like you.
Yes, because he has a history of supporting free speech and referring to his doctors through this entire crisis. Otherwise, your comment is based on … what ?
@Joe America Truth moron!
45 will fire Dr. Fauci in one of his toddler tantrum fits. Dr. Fauci understands the Code of Ethics his License has him bound to, therefore he doesn’t lie for 45. Also, 😱how does 45 practice Medicine everyday without a License? Amazing!
Darren Green, try working to help us get through this rather than making up things and calling people you don’t know names.
Can someone pound some sense into that incredibly dim brain in the White House?
Not possible – no brain, no education, no compassion.
He is THE BEST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY
Are you also a bit crazy.
