Houston Doctor Says Coronavirus Situation Is 'Dire' | Morning Joe | MSNBC
And trump wants to reopen schools. Will Trump resign with the first kid/parent/teacher who dies after school reopening in a country where the curve is still increasing exponentially because of failure in early containment of the spread ? No. He’ll find someone to blame.
Daniel Schmitz Oh my God. Seriously? They had summer schools open without any safety measures?
I’ve been wondering about that same thing.
Most likely the staff.
@Semper verum brilliant. Not heard that one before.
@panthera50 so true. Half the school was out with coughs and high temps in Jan/ Feb. Besides why close them in the first place and open them now – when the pandemic is in full swing.
The situation is dire? Apparently the miracle that the president promised is a hoax.
Speak up against the protest and the rioters and then maybe America with care but if it’s okay for you to write in protest and it’s okay for us to go back to work and feed our family and go to church..
You’re right to protest and riot in the streets isn’t more important than feeding my family or me hanging out with my friends.
You don’t want to take this virus serious then why should I

As the therapeutic efficacy of hydroxychloroquine becomes more and more provable, the left gets more and more hysterical. Leftists have bet the farm on COVID-19 as a means of preventing President Trump’s re-election, and then this cheap old malaria drug appears on the scene.
Biggus Dickus Yup. That 15 case number dropping back to zero was off the mark. No surprise he paid someone to take his SATs.
Gee shocker…
Like his integrity, efficiency, taxes.
Notice, how none of the GOP politicians show the slightest concern about the loss of lives to COVID-19, while they’re entirely focused on reopening the economy, no matter what the cost! Sociopaths – all of them!
@Richard Owens Test for Past Infection (Antibody Test) | CDC
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
If you test positive
A positive test result shows you may have antibodies from an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. *However, there is a chance a positive result means that you have antibodies from an infection with a virus from the same family of viruses (called coronaviruses), such as the one that causes the common cold.*
@Crystal Giddens Hey Crystal. Do you understand how viruses work? Did it ever occur to you that the presence of Covid-19 might actually complicate a preexisting condition that leads a person to die? And THAT’s why they are calling a death with the presence of Covid-19 in the body a ‘Covid death’? That’s why they have said pretty much since day one people with pre-existing conditions are at a higher risk of dying. But you won’t put THAT link up, will you?
Can you do us a favor, seriously. Can you stop trying to prolong this issue by pretending it doesn’t exist and trying to find facebook groups or doctored you tube videos that support your confirmation bias? Just wear a stinking mask. It’s so much easier. We’ll all be okay. Why do you want to get sick or possibly get others sick? Just why? How about those people who attend “Covid parties” to prove that the virus is a hoax, and then end up in the hospital or dead? You have a bunch of time to search Youtube, why don’t you look up some of those stories? Jesus what does it take to get through to you people??
@d1492ay U.S. health officials say Americans shouldn’t wear face masks to prevent coronavirus — here are 3 other reasons not to wear them

Most of them don’t care because they have”country homes” too retreat to. 🤑☣️☢️
@Dena Mitton Yeah it’s our problem to deal with at ground level, while they take shelter in a mansion flying private jets.
If you failed to prepare then prepare for failure. I feel terrible for the medical folks who have to pay the price because of useless politicians. Warning signs were there.
@SinBae Yes and *BIG PHARMA* stands to make tens of billions per year off of mandatory *”immune from liability”* injections! *”Mr Bill Eugenicist Gates”* chief among them.
@Crystal Giddens They
@SinBae “Mr Bill Eugenicist Gates” chief among them. < That is NOT the plan! And *MONEY* is NOT currency. *MONEY* has intrinsic value such as land, minerals and all natural resources. They
@handmadehearts and Cuomo warned people then. He paved the way for other states to learn from any mistakes that they may have made and to embrace the best treatment options.
@Crystal Giddens take your tinfoil off
Hmm, who should we listen to? The scientists and doctors who dedicate their lives to studying pandemics and how to handle them? Or, the man in the White House who recently had to prove he knows the difference between a cow, a rhinocerous, and a camel?
@Crystal Giddens You should say a prayer for all the dead healthcare workers who have died fighting this instead of sucking on the heroin of “being right”. Your attempts at altering reality serve no one.
@Toussaint Chivars I wish that were true, but sadly it’s not. Turkey was recently a Democracy – but, not anymore. They now have a fascist dictator who is very much like Trump, only with a three digit IQ. The same with Venezuela. The same with Brazil. The most dangerous pandemic of all is fascism – and, it is on the rise all over the planet. And, fascists care NOTHING about the people over whom they rule.

@Crystal Giddens And in Italy? Spain? The U.K? Scotland? Ireland? the buses must have been running on time over the pond. You will never know how many people died at home either because they didn’t have the money for the treatment or they were just plain scared to go into the hospital, especially since all they know is steroids, antivirals and Tylenol.
Texas has an inept governor who only takes his cues from the orange clown in the white house!
Hey the orange clown can drink from a cup 1 handed! 1 handed! Isn’t that amazing??? Trump 2020 MAGA!!!!
@wnose DON’T FORGET HE RUN DOWN THE RAMP
Governor Abbot learned the lesson that folding to Trump’s desperate attempts to get the US economy going again is a huge mistake. The voters in Texas have suffered evangelical idiots in their governor’s mansion since the late Ann Richards left office.
The President his administration along with Fox News have American blood on their hands!. Throw in the Trump party too!
@Brian Nave Nobody is interested in your treasonous propaganda garbage, Traitor Trash. Move to Russia, you disgusting snivelling coward. Real Americans will not forget or forgive your treason.
And the liberals who support the murder of Gods precious gift of life don’t? Think before you start mouthing off about “blood on someone’s hands”. Those who endorse abortion will pay dearly for their foolish, selfish, brutal, cold hearted support of this wicked, ungodly act!!! Wickedness is everywhere on this earth and nothing is more wicked than snuffing the life out of an innocent helpless child of God!!!
How many lives would have been saved if not for the democrats, Fauci and fake news resistance to Hydroxychloroquine?
https://youtu.be/zHkUXDjDblk A new study suggests Hydroxychloroquine is effective in treating covid-19.
https://youtu.be/wQZFlxFnLu0 Henry Ford health study suggests benefit to hydroxychloroquine in treating coronavirus.
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/283271
Media hostility to hydroxychloroquine fuels hysteria about supposed dangers’
According to Duran report media misinformation may be subverting effective treatment to end the coronavirus crisis.
@Brian Nave FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
If you ever watch Dr. Grande, he just analyzed the personality characteristics that are associated with mask wearers and those who refuse. Interesting stuff.
Trump is now the No 1 cause of death in America.
But I thought the Republican party was the pro life party.
@Dawn Short Trump’s GOP is only concerned with fetuses. Once you are born, they could care less, especially if you are born poor.
And the number one cause of TV sets being kicked off the wall.
Houston! We have a problem & its tRump & his Morona-19 Virus response & not another failed rocket launch this time
The ignorance of some Americans is what killing them, there believe a dummy like trump than those doctors like Dr fauci
@Crystal Giddens Things change, like the novel virus. We can’t turn the clock back but we can put on our masks and go on from here. There was a time that Dr.’s weren’t concerned about smoking, not because they were idiots, they didn’t have the whole picture. I wouldn’t refuse medical care or advice from them because they used to think differently, until more sophisticated research and tools became available. If ever we need to move forward and think about our futures, it’s now.
@Heather Hent444 What rights are they giving up? I don’t understand, the right to refuse a mask? Potentially infecting or being infected is not a right, if that’s what you are referring to.
@Heather Hent444 Yep, holding them accountable has to happen otherwise there is no reason to have a mandate. It’s strange that there are all different rules, or none, everywhere. My daughter is a teacher in Spain and she was happy that the government did a full 4 month lockdown. The virus was devastating the country and it had to stop. Generally people followed the rules because they didn’t want to go back in lockdown, not to mention their desire for self preservation and that of others. If ever a time she appreciated direction, it was then. Same regulations for everyone, period!! The majority of Spainards do what is right for their loved ones. There relationships of all kinds are precious. They praise their elders and do the right thing on their own, not because they fear the government. I think their moral compasses direct their actions, thinking about others in a selfless way, unlike many Americans who seem to struggle with that mentality.

@Crystal Giddens I’ve already responded to that when it was posted earlier. Look back if you want.
All because of Trump’s failure to handle this pandemic from day one.
The GOP are equally guilty for allowing this to happen as well.
The GOP is the #ProVirusParty
pelosi encouraged people to go to chinatown and party… 1 month after Trump stopped flights from china
Of course, the Reps are MAGA guilty, because they had a chance to remove this corrupt and callous so-called president and failed to do it for the sake of staying in power.
The US is a joke…everything gets turned into politics. You really just blamed a worldwide pandemic’s spread on a political party 🙄🙄🙄🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
The only thing their concerned about is money and vacations. Waiting to vote in November.
Juanita Holland
Hi Juanita… it’s “they’re”… just saying, make a slight adjustment, understand it and move on. Take care young lady.
Trump is trying to get re-elected at the cost of people’s lives, every GOP member who supports him needs to be arrested and charged after trump leaves office
Absolutely.
Lock ’em up!
You read my mind.
Totally agree.
The gop is killing us. Vote Blue in november!!
#Vote4ByeDon #VoteOutProVirusParty
Avoid restaurants, hotels, planes, airports and crowded spots until we can control the spread of this virus.
Wear mask in public places and stay away from crowds.
People have to care for people.
I see a crowd, I turn around. To me, deliberately going to join a crowd is like running into a burning building. Even firefighters take extreme care before entering a burning building and I’m no firefighter!
It seems so simple. People have a self destructive belief in their own personal rights and personal freedoms that have made those simple steps so much more complicated…
*VOTE BIDEN! VOTE DEMOCRAT! VOTE BLUE 2020! VOTE FOR AMERICAN DECENCY!*
Go Joe !! ByeDon!
as long people walk around without masks the virus is going to keep spreading.
Also as long as bars and sit down restaurants stay open
When you take the word of greedy Republican politicians over the word of medical and science professionals, this is the tragic result.😔
In a zombie apocalypse I think Trump would still say “open the schools or else funding stops!!”
Well….you are almost there. 👿
Hello Houston, we have a problem: President Trump’s incompetence and lack of leadership.
