    1. @Bad Guys Wear Masks i dont vote. I dont worship man like you do. The fact you didnt say no, when said he was your master pretty much sums it up.

    2. @C. Cadon You don’t vote because you’re lazy. I only worship God. I’ll vote for whoever you evil people tell me not to… Libtards will always tell you who they fear most… Right now, that’s Trump, so Trump get’s my vote…

    3. @Bad Guys Wear Masks why you changing your name every 5 minutes? So by your logic the only good are the ones who vote your political ideology? Are independents evil?

  1. Big mistake opening this soon. You’re going to see a big spike in cases and then it’s back to square one again.

    1. @usamail usanyc hey dumbass, why don’t you complain about Governor Polis (D) reopening Colorado? Because like CNN you’re just a biased mouthpiece for the Democrat party. Whatever Trump says you say do the opposite.

    2. @CG H if >>> “politics shouldn’t play a role in this” then why hasn’t CNN complained about Governor Polis (D) REOPENING Colorado? So you can comment on the video and trash talk Governor Polis? Oh that’s right because a huge part of this is politics and you know it.

    3. @Robert Johnson I’m not talking about a specific news channel. I’m talking in general…politics SHOULD NOT be playing a role. Sadly, yes it is and that’s the reason it got this bad.

    1. @Rey zSaz IKR? I can’t wait for 4 more years of the media circus and constant chaos that IS the Trump administration. I’ll bet the next 4 will be ever more insane that last 4 ! BEST REALITY TV EVER!!!!

    1. Your a Democrat? Why would you need to go out? Check comes in mail and Link card automatically loads…tough work being a leech

    1. Deepika B will still happen, look at China they’ve got a second huge out of control infection rate in one of the provinces.

  2. You can wave your hands from your ivory tower and proclaim to be open for business all you want. You can’t make scared people leave the safety of their homes so your wealthy donors can keep their cash faucet flowing.

    1. Yes they can. Delay relief payments, make some or most inneligible for sufficient support, allow businesses to open and then cut off any support because work is available, slave

    2. They basically have already done all that. Almost everyone is still waiting for “relief “. Most people are also not working. Even when these businesses open hrs will be limited for the employees, due to lack of sales. If you’re not working where is the money gonna come from to shop and eat at restaurants?? Wtf. 🤦‍♀️ Make good choices for yourselves. Stay home, unless you are essential or are able to work.

    3. I feel very fortunate to be in New York, with capable leadership, a strong unemployment program, and excellent health care.

      Thoughts and prayers to the people in the red states with none of the above. If you folks survive this, you should probably consider voting blue come November.

  3. Any smart chap would avoid going to the cinema at a time like this.
    This is a highly contagious disease.

    1. @Cleveland Terry Should I go further?
      Injecting disinfectants maybe? Yeah its done already.

      And that UV light thing, yep that’s actually done too

      and no Im not defending Trump on this or justifying it, But the same people that are making fun of him for even mentioning something so absurd are the same ones that don’t realize these things are already done. Some of them researched for things like pneumonia and SARS, they could actually be relevant in treatment.

    1. Ask yourself are they doing anything to help contact tracing such as an app, distributing journals for people to record their locations, or requiring visitor books at all businesses? Ask yourself are they doing randomized testing or are the testing still targeted to those most likely to be infected such as the symptomatic with exposure to known cases, travel or high risk employment. Once the lockdown has been released, ring perimeter containment becomes important and that means contact tracing and without randomized testing, the stats are meaningless, you’re flying blind, granted when testing is limited, it’s best to focus them where they will be of most benefit but without randomized testing, you’re blind.

      If you have the contact tracing and the testing and have a stable baseline to work from then a gradual reopening makes sense but do you have the contact tracing and testing?

  4. Can somebody explain to me what was the point of closing down if we opening up while people still dying at a high rate?
    To me look like humans being treated like lab rats

    1. Business owners losing money. Employees have no pay or savings. Federal government was supposed to step in. People taking risk to survive without catching it.

    2. Short effort, I’ll try. It is not ( completely ) about how many deaths, but WHO. It is not necessarily about how many ill, but how many at one time, & the collapse of integrated operational society Because of it.NYC tale i s so full of profoundly stupid errors, they will use it in entire chapters of what not to do in Public Health Textbooks for the next Century, ( Or, literally, when all Materials that do not incorporate actions & interactions by AI Droids & robots makes them obsolete as the Hindenberg.) The power is still on. The Trains still run, as does the Trucking industry. There is food in the Grocery store, & .they are open, without a Humvee with a mounted 50 cal. in the turret at the Entrance. This already got longer than I’d wished, but hopefully you see the focus, & Strategic thinking.

  5. When a haircut, getting your nails done, shopping and movie theater opening are a priority you know you are in America.

    1. I’m healthy I will infect who I want. I identify as a disease spreader diversity is our strength.

  6. “People having to do what they think is right” is clear evidence their Republican governments are failing at all levels.

  7. There are a million cases of covid-19 in America as of today and you’re telling me you want to f****** open everything back up every other country that is strict lockdown and got their numbers down and their numbers are lowering and not even they’re coming out what the f*** is wrong with America this is suicide I will not go to work until I see the numbers drop or I will move the f*** out of this country and seek Asylum somewhere else where they have brains
