Extremity Of Texas COVID-19 Curve Puts Hospital ICUs In A Bind | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
They should be preparing for remote learning.
learning…in RED states, LOL.
Lol they think that education is a Democratic hoax
LOL THEY ARE LEARNING, THE ARE LEARNING THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUMP AND HIS DICTATORSHIP
It’s okay friends, we can speak freely. It’s currently 8:32 am in Moscow, and most of the Trump supporters are still asleep. 🤪
Keep an eye on Moscow time do you?
They have not received their orders yet
😂😂😂
Good thing we put profit over human lives and individualism over public health! I thought all lives mattered? Go on protesting mask mandates while cheering on federal kidnappings of BLM protesters, Amerikkka.
YEAH AND YOU EVIL TRUMPERS CAN GO ON NOT WEARING MASK AND PROTECTING A DICTATOR. GOD IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE.
Are they attempting Heard Immunity? This is crazy.
As I heard it, herd immunity takes a lot more people, at least that’s what I hear.
Or maybe it’s God taking pity and purging the Republicans. God knows they’ve caused enough terror over the last 4 years
Carriemchardy Carrie entails
What have you herd?
TRUMP DOES NOT CARE AND SO THE PEOPLE DONT
Edinburg is my home town. It’s as bad as they’re saying.
Stay strong for the sake of yourself and your people. My brothers and I will be praying for you.
Your neighbor in McAllen here. Stay safe.
Is it really?
Data please
Fabian, stay safe! I read the comments and wonder why people would question you. I think that the Trump Administration changed the data collecting from the CDC, to manipulate and lower the numbers. And his new daily resumed briefings, don’t even bother to watch! More lies. Trump only cares for himself. This Independent voter will vote BLUE, come November!
Finally someone in Florida has finally stood up and decided to do the responsible thing.
The largest teachers’ union in Florida filed a lawsuit Monday against DeSantis over his administration’s push to fully reopen all public schools next month — even as coronavirus cases in the state are spiking.
The Florida Education Association (FEA) accused DeSantis and other state officials of violating a state constitutional mandate to keep public schools “safe and secure.” The union asked a state court in Miami to halt the governor’s reopening edict.
The lawsuit, filed in circuit court, names several defendants: DeSantis, Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran, the Florida Department of Education and the Florida State Board of Education.
“Gov. DeSantis needs a reality check, and we are attempting to provide one,” FEA President Fedrick Ingram said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. “The governor needs to accept the reality of the situation here in Florida, where the virus is surging out of control.”
Roy Rodgers 😂 well said!
@Biden is NOT the candidate Schools didn’t need to shut down during H1N1 because Obama was a competent leader who acted when it hit US soil, unlike the orange turd. Obama never allowed it to spread uncontrollably across the country, unlike the orange turd did. The federal government under Obama mounted a complex, multi-faceted and long-term response to the H1N1, what has Trump done? Downplay the severity of the virus and golf?
THANK GOD-SAVE THE CHILDREN
@Carriemchardy Carrie What Ash is trying to tell you is, don’t click their link like you did. We probably all do it by mistake occasionally. Not clicking reduces their income.
I guess Florida hasn’t confess yet.
Herd immunity by incompetence..?
I think it’s very important that we all remember the unwarranted outrage and criticism Republicans leveled on President Obama and his response the the Ebola virus outbreak.
And Trump of all people, even tweeted that Obama should apologize to the American people, and resign. And this was after only 11 reported Ebola cases and 2 deaths in America.
Republican Darrell Issa, said the response had been inept, characterized by over-confidence and ill-considered procedures to protect U.S. healthcare workers at home.
“Any further fumbles, bumbles or missteps … can no longer be tolerated,” Issa told a hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Then-Rep. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said Obama was “not protecting our country and our families from Ebola,” suggesting the administration was not doing enough to combat the disease.
Ted Cruz called Obama’s Ebola response “fundamentally unserious.”
Ultimately, the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak resulted in 11 confirmed cases and only two deaths in the U.S. Obama’s quick response to the virus included deploying nearly 3,000 service members to West Africa to help contain the outbreak there.
Because of Obama’s leadership, the Ebola virus did not spread in the US. There were only two deaths from the disease in the country, and both of them were people who contracted it in Africa. History has proven that the Obama administration’s response to the Ebola virus was competent and effective.
Trump tweet, 10/23/14
“If this doctor, who is reckless flew into New York from West Africa has Ebola, then Obama should apologize to the American people & resign.”
Today there have been 3.83 million confirmed coronavirus cases in the US, and 143K deaths.
So, what should Trump do? Hmmmm😞
Well lets see, not only should he resign, he should first drop to his knees and apologize to America for the 143K lost souls. He should then get on his knees, and apologize to Obama, and ask him for forgiveness. He should then turn himself into authorities and admit to his criminal negligence, dereliction duty, and to violating his oath of office.
What about HIN1 you sheep are such hypocrites it’s amusing lol
@snoop alert I agree…..Trumps gonna bury the Dems and the Durham report will bury them too…lol
@Ash Roskell blahhhhh blahhhhhh. your a hypocrite bro….
@joe blow what about h1n1, I had that as did most, it wasn’t nice, but it wasn’t anywhere near as nasty as coronavirus, stop being a moron all your life.
Well presented as always David J
One day far into the future, historians will finally recognize the truth about Trump. They will look back on his famous “Covfefe!” tweet and realize that he was in fact predicting Covid-19. He will at that time become known as Nostradumbass.
Lol…that day has come..😁😂🤣
I KNEW IT!!! #CovfefeWeWereWarned
Ironic in the extreme.
Texas waiter: Howdy, y’all don’t look like you’re from around here.
Corona: No, we’re in from out of town. What do you recommend?
Texas waiter: Everything here is good.
Corona: Mmm….🤤
😂😂 slow clap
Bud Fudlacker 😂
*Florida:* masks are for losers, we choose ventilators
*Texas:* hold my corona
Hilarious but loss of civil liberties because fake science is not.
The GOP could stop this tomorrow if they wanted to.
And the Democrats could stop their cities being destroyed?? but that’s ok i guess…lol.
They locked down.
GOP ARE DEVIL TRUMPS FALLEN ANGLES
@joe blow what? You’ve missed the point of the original post imho. Your spinning off of the topic. Classic gop move these days. Sad really……
@Logic B4Religion states couldn’t stop people attending mass protests. How they going to enforce mask wearing and social distancing?
When will People wake up and realize the GOP is only interested in power and money.
The con man in chief does not make a decision until asking “what’s in it for ME ?”
Greedy, selfish, self centered people are making life and death decisions.
Elections matter. Register and Vote in all elections, local, state federal and Presidential.
VOTE like your life depended on it.
Hypocrisy™, Double Standards™, Bigotry™, Gaslighting™, Kleptocracy™, Supremacy™, Whataboutism™, Corruption™, US Oligarchy™. All trademarks of Impeached Donald J. Trump and GOP.
This acceleration is terrifying. If Agent Orange can’t see how important this is he must go now.
Democrats abolish police, which will increase crime in poor areas
*#Trump2020** **_Because democrat’s communism is Stalin’s communism_*
trump can only go if voters do the right thing. Vote and make sure they cast their ballots for Joe Biden and make sure the trump enablers are voted out also. Vote All Blue.
Be not afraid. Ultraviolet suns rays are sterilizing the air and the ground all around your house. So stay there and don’t go out. You have nothing to be “terrified” about.
Trump’s not interested with the virus or the people anymore. He’s too busy concentrating on his hired thugs in camouflaged uniforms beating the public into submission. This country is now like a third world banana republic and is losing all credibility around the world.
AMERICA IS NOW A BANANA REPUBLIC
@Graham Daley Don’t waste your energy on that paid troll. Their pay depends on people responding. They get a flat rate for the initial bait post and as soon as someone responds they get paid a substantial bonus. Most trolls have several titles so it can be quite lucrative.
If we don’t answer any of them directly, the retainer isn’t enough to warrant hanging around. Then they look for an easier mark.
Since the Portland invasion, the trolls have been more active than they have for months.
@Mike Newman How do you know this about the troll pay system? Please paste a link to prove this claim. Thanks.
The US lost its credibility as soon as trump began opening his mouth upon becoming president.
@Bud Fudlacker 👋👋
Being someone who has followed the figures from the start of the pandemic I would like to bring your attention to the fact that since the CDC was relieved of its data reporting the number of deaths in US has dropped to under 500 per day when the number of cases has risen dramatically. I understand that deaths lag behind when cased rise, but I am extremely suspicious that the change in who reports has had such an effect on the numbers.
makes it look bad when only the really sick and dead get reported.
No I don’t think so. Watch today’s total around 1000 by end of day. If you look back at the charts, sunday and monday death reports are low. Most likely less staff on weekends
only 4k death’s, pffft, thats wrong.
i dont belive this numbers going down, manipulated by trump Administration, wait for it to disapear magicly.
YOUR RIGHT THE DEATHS HAVE ESCALATED AND ARE NO BEING SHOWN IN THE DAILY TOTALS. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE NUMBERS AND THEY DO NOT ADD UP. OVER 3000 DEAD IN ONE STATE ALONE!
Yet they still love tRump there 😂 What brutes for punishment. Special Kinda stupid.
How would anyone know what the real numbers are, since the enforced change to reporting sidelining the CDC.
