  1. Hey Florida so when the virus sweeps through your state with multiple waves… “Thoughts and prayers“ and be sure to not ask for any outside help. Cause it’s all on u

    1. @peter blood I love how these same protestors are wearing masks for the virus which they claim isn’t that dangerous. You can educate the ignorant but you just can’t fix stupid.

    2. Yeah everyone that does this kind of stuff should and just go out into the woods or something away from everyone else and don’t clog up the the hospitals with their stupid selves. They are trying to save lives that count not brainless wastes of space. Tired of good people working hard to do the right thing while idiots just get in the way.

    3. Thoughts and prayers should be the only thing we send them at that point. They forfeit their right to help.

    4. @David Gray That is called cowardice. The virus isn’t dangerous but let’s wear masks just in case it is.

    5. @Michelle Mayfied We’ll have to burn it to the ground afterwards. Not because of Covid, but because of trumpian stupidity.

  2. To the 52 senators who let him walk in impeachment . This is on you and we will never forget . USA USA USA 🇺🇸

    1. Well if you open and you spoke the virus you get no stimulus. Bunch of idiots so now your going to be down another three months for your stupidity

    1. Cybr Friends Wait until it hits “ Mar-A – Lago” wonder if Trump will be golfing that day! 🏌️ 🤞

    1. C19 fatalities are lower than flu. Even those numbers are contrived. You don’t have to test positive to have it put on death certificate. Also the death could be due to something else but if personnal thinks s/he had c19 they put that on the certificate.

    1. Fhalei so everyone is gonna die ? I didn’t know the virus had a 100 percent death rate

    1. @Bryan The flu killed that many during months MONTHS, this virus has nearly took down half of that number in what, not even one month.
      Brush up, kid.

    2. @Mike Hawk “COVID-19 causes more severe disease than seasonal influenza.
      While many people globally have built up immunity to seasonal flu strains, COVID-19 is a new virus to which no one has immunity. That means more people are susceptible to infection, and some will suffer severe disease.
      Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected.”

      This is what I’ve researched so far. no it’s not ‘just’ influenza it’s something more fatal

  3. Japan with 100 cases in a day: Let’s go inside so we can avoid what’s going on in America.

    USA with 1,000 plus deaths in a day: I want to get my hair done!

    1. @Bruce E the US death rate is 30% and the worlds is 18% with the US included. Not saying it’s that lethal, but it’s not 0.003% either.

    2. @Quan Nguyen Yes as limiting the spread is wonderful. Now we have to limit the damage we are causing by keeping America locked down. We are causing other health problems. People are becoming depressed and will use more drugs and alcohol. Pushing people into poverty will also cause more death. Sunlight is a necessity and so is social contact for most Americans.

    3. @Quan Nguyen you fail to recognize the tens millions of people that have had this already with little or no symptoms. The multiple antibody studies done by prominent universities have suggested this. The virus did not turn out to be the killer virus that it once promised to be. Protect the vulnerable, and get everyone else back to normal ASAP. That would be best for the overall health of this nation and the world,

    4. @Bruce E that is also theory right now because there isn’t that capacity to test everyone. I’m a nurse in a hospital with covid, had man chills a month ago which has now been revealed to be a sign and symptom. I couldn’t get tested then and I still can’t get tested now.

    1. That Weird Guy emergency “ Stay Home “ measures , should stay in place for at least May 30th. See the difference ‘ social Distancing has made ‘ !!l”

    2. Julius Gilliard Believe in the Scientists, not the ..Politicians, they are not Doctors. ….Believe the Professionals, that is where we will get the best info. and results, also best GUIDANCE. !!

    3. Julius Gilliard What if higher Temperatures makes it worse? We have no
      Knowledge on this virus YET!…. Pray for a vaccine soon!! 🙏🏽

    1. LA – Remember when Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas and he was bringing in tons of cocaine?

    2. LA, Stay home silly rabbit. I’m working, traveling, enjoying the open roads. Stay afraid. Stay VERY afraid. WE GOT THIS!

    3. Muk L so you’re saying everyone is in danger ? And that anyone who gets it and isn’t hospitalized will die ? 😂😂

    1. I could get COVID 19 and die. I am officially giving anyone who might give me the virus the permission to go back to work. Paying your bills and feeding your family is more important than my health. I’ll take my chances, just like everybody who ever lived up till now.

    2. @Christy A
      I’m not the one who “officially” said i give anybody who might give it to me permission to go back to work….
      That would be nuts.

  4. Florida is the state where old retired people move in after their retiring… that’s literally the last place which you have to reopen

    1. Florida is doing great. You live in fear. I’m old and will GLADLY risk death before destroying America economically (and liberty)for the next generation. So many scared little children!

    2. Абдаллах Муслим I agree that there are many old people here in Florida . But as sad as it sounds , those who aren’t old shouldn’t stay in home for years until the virus disappears. People are trying to avoid the inevitable. No matter what you do people will die . Especially those that are old , already sick , and prone to complications. It’s survival of the fittest and nothing we do will stop it

    1. @pspmaster2071 No. I’m fine where I am at home. I see both sides, I understand why people don’t want to go back to work, however I also see why people would want to go back to work.

    2. @Bryan You say that 80,000 people died in the US due to Flu in the year 2018. Very well, that’s true.
      But did you ever stop and think that in the past 5 months 60,000 Americans have died due to COVID-19. That’s just in 5 months.
      And if you do the math, then up till the end of this year, over 1.5 million people would have died in the US in total due to this virus. That’s a prediction given by a number of acclaimed Universities in the US.

      So please for Medical Science’s sake, stop comparing COVID 19 to the Flu, you daft dimbo !

  5. Somebody throw some permanent paint over the heads of those protesters so when they enter a hospital, the staff know who they are

    1. Yearly flu deaths in US annually 70-130 thousand. Obama’s sars outbreak 70 dead before it even got a mention. Covid19 deaths US 35 thousand. Who’s a moron . This is a political hit job again.

    2. Linh Phùng don’t be stupid protestors are healthy, they wouldn’t need hospitalization if they contracted this. This virus has a 98% recovery rate and those numbers even include the chronically ill.

    3. @Mary Wick “yearly Flu deaths in US annually 70-130k..” first of all “yearly” and “annually” mean the same thing… Judging from your certain lack of knowledge of the English language I’ll make this easy for you. 39,000 is 30%of 130,000. That means in the span of 15months(study probably taken from the three winter months before the year) deaths were at 130,000 and we hit 30% of that mark with only 4 months in. I will remind you, this is ON TOP OF the national FLU deaths. So to make it easier for you; you eat 10 donuts every 15months. But this year there’s special donuts so now within the span of those 15months where you would’ve ate 2 you’ve more eaten 3 and are hungry for more.

    1. Jelees Dolphin
      Yeah, sure, just get on an airplane while a global pandemic is going on.

      Real smooth brain move.

    2. @Patrick Dy well if he dislikes where he lives so much and he’s desperate enough… he can😂 whether it’s wise or not. Btw this has nothing to do with you fella.

  6. My sister is one of these stupid people. Wants my wife and kids to go to the beach. No wonder we havent let them over to the house

    1. Absolutely… but shes one of them that thinks it just another flu virus….thats on her, as well as the rest that dont take anything seriously.

  7. American has lost so many things and they are:
    Common sense, discipline, Understanding of the situation, and intelligent.
