Illinois Hospitals Face Surge In Coronavirus Cases | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Yeesh…2020 and Trump can not leave soon enough.
@Preston Ramseyer Do you only believe the things you like hearing?
@Cory F. lol ANYONE can say ANYTHING online.
tRump trolls YOU LOST! Enjoy 4 years of PRESIDENT JOE!
@zidge1751 hahaha!!!! Liberal women make me laugh
NOT MY PRESIDENT
Triage, should have been covered.
Yep. What people don’t understand. If hospitals are overwhelmed, they start choosing who to give care to.
Donald Trump and his administration need a knowledgeable and reputable group of medical experts and an effective strategy to combat this pandemic. Oh, right….
Hairy legs biden is here to save the day 👶
Love it!
yeah, wait, didn’t he fire them?
lol like he cares
Too late now,,,he can get out!
All the doubters should volunteer for work in a hospital, see feel the pain please, but of course they won’t as its easier to sit in front of a tv or computer and comment rather than believe the heartbreaking truth, so so sad. Thank you all for putting you and your families life on hold and in danger for others truly hero’s and no bone spurs anywhere.
As you do the same thing. Why don’t you go volunteer? Go help out? Oh ya, you don’t want to leave your TV or computer.
so Illinios had NEW 100,000 cases in ten days?!?!! STAY HOME!
@Preston Ramseyer thank you and thank trump for all this trouble
@Jerry Hate why would I thank Trump? I don’t like him. Didn’t vote for him.
@Preston Ramseyer As someone who lives in Illinois, in a very red county of the state, it’s the Trump supporters who won’t wear masks that are making it spread. But they’re so proud of the hideous yard art, that their lord and savior Jesus Trump adorns.
@Cory F. I’m with you on that, stateliner here with a current 23.7 positivity rate. All I’m seeing is massless around me, my little town of 1300 is erupting in cases. They laugh at me for wearing a mask, even one whose brother died from it. Stay safe – up here in Boone its bad.
@Lee Uhoda Also bad here in Quincy, the positivity rate is hovering around 19%. Stay safe up there, and if they start laughing, just start coughing – see if they keep laughing then.
Let’s talk. The US has passed a grim milestone – nearing 200,000 COVID-19 infections a day. For many months some Americans have resisted wearing protective masks because they, “Take away freedom.” Is this really about taking away freedoms?
We are a county founded on the compassionate rule of law. We have seatbelt laws and second-hand smoke laws. These are just two small examples of laws enacted to protect us when we cannot protect ourselves and each other. When functioning properly our representatives in government have the ability, as defined by constitutions, charters, etc., to do those things we cannot do all by ourselves. This may include building highways, providing K-12 education and let’s not forget protecting us from deadly forest fires, hurricanes and our national defense. Governors, legislators and judges, in addition to the media, are working as best as they can, as quickly as they can and with the best available public health information to keep all of us safe; individually we do not have the collective expertise, human and financial resources to manage these challenges. If they need to do this legally by decree, executive order or other provisions allowed them during emergencies then they are doing their jobs.
Although most people are doing the best they can to save lives there are some powerful few who are literally killing people. Take Trump and his super spreader events. A Stanford University study found his rallies have killed 700 people and infected 30,000. Columbia University published a study recently on how 130,000-210,000 lives could have been saved if the Trump administration and his devotees had not politicized science a pandemic that has infected over 53 million and killed 1,300,000 world-wide – so far. Approximately 40% of the infected are asymptomatic and never know they may be spreading COVID according to the CDC.
There is good news. The US government may start distributing a vaccine by the end of the year. It will go to the most vulnerable populations first including first responders. It does take weeks after the first inoculation for the vaccine to take full effect and more than one booster shot may be necessary. No one knows the duration of immunity for anyone who has recovered from COVID or from any particular vaccine. Pfizer vaccine showed 90% immunity but only for seven days. More needs to be understood. Perhaps the singular greatest problem with regard to vaccines is that too many people have been dissuaded from even getting vaccinated at all. If that is the case, it will prolong moving forward precipitously. It is possible we may be wearing masks well through 2021.
Our best line of defense remains masks, social distancing, etc. By taking these basic precautions the University of Washington projects we can save over 130,000 lives by March 2021. Remember, this virus is about 8X deadlier than the 2019 flu and is the third leading cause of death in the US only behind heart disease and cancer. Please fact-check this information yourself. Facing the truth is empowering, freeing. The sooner the more people accept reality, the sooner we can recover together as a country – grieve those we have loved and lost – and collectively address other urgent concerns.
One last thing – we are fortunate. Do the people resisting wearing a mask really have no understanding of what is true loss of your freedoms? Have we learned nothing from history: slavery, disenfranchisement, imprisonment in jails, ghettos and concentration camps, inscription into armies, forced marriage, starvation… Over 85,000 children in Yemen have died since 2018 directly because of US foreign policy. Currently, millions more Yemen children, women and men face starvation but we can still save them by providing immediate emergency assistance with our International allies. We just have to care enough about their freedom, their literal right to life. I’d like to believe we are capable of understanding false equivalences of facial coverings and the right to life, freedom from extreme suffering. This may not be what we have expected but it is nothing new, not really. And we each have superpowers – our infinite capacity for creative adaptation and a little thing called love. – Please feel free to share this post. Take care, stay safe out there and thank you.
Newsom at the French Laundry, Pelosi organizing parties stocked up with ice cream and not wearing a mask at the hair salon…😂 Looks like Dems will never change. What a joke 😂
Thank you for taking the time to write this, I hope a lot of people will read it and really think about it.
Stay at home advisory.
Exactly…Newsom at the French Laundry, Pelosi organizing parties stocked up with ice cream and not wearing a mask at the hair salon…😂 Looks like Dems will never change. What a joke 😂
trump and his own Holocaust!!! Please hurry up January 20th!!!!!!!!!! WE NEED A NEW BEGINNING!! HOPE!!!!!! WE NEED HOPE!!!!
You act like as soon as Biden gets in there the virus goes away you seriously think that
Joe Biden does not have to prove to 45% of Americans that Trump needed to be replaced. The virus and the rise in deaths in the US is doing it.
@Lovely Day it’ll be okay Biden we’ll be in office on the 21st if he’ll get rid of the virus ASAP it’ll all be okay
@Bob Evans 😊😪
Joe Biden does not have to prove to 45% of Americans that Trump needed to be replaced. The virus and the rise in deaths in the US is doing it.
No, the 45% are stupid and won’t change their minds. They are traitors.

@Think about it thanks to Trump, 31 Secret Service agents are infected with COVID-19 in addition to about 100 more who have to quarantine.
Oh, and don’t forget the Trumpanzees who got sick at Trump rallies and then infected others.
This, going to be, Abernesur Trump,” Christmas This, Year”He’s Just getting started”he’s going do Almost anything”to Punish “The Radical Left “Wing”own His way out a lot of Damage “you can look for it!!
Please people of Illinois, let do this, we want this thing to be over, we have to help each other’s, God help us!!
god helps those who help themselves wear a dam mask an stay home if you can
Imagine being a nurse, who just had to see another patient die from the corona, alone with no family in the room, only that nurse.
Then imagine going home that night and walking by a row of full bars, with no one wearing a mask.
How selfish and ignorant.
Commander and chief gone missing cry baby stand tall Joe and show this monster how to care about all Americans

If you haven’t figured it out yet, those of you that continue to defy wearing a mask, staying inside, and those of you that continue to go to gatherings, YOU ARE THE REASON WHY OUR ECONOMY IS NOT RECOVERING. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY HEALTH CARE IS GOING TO BE EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE IN THE FUTURE. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY SMALL BUSINESSES CAN’T SURVIVE. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY PEOPLE CAN’T GET BACK TO WORK. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY TRAVELING HAS CAME TO A STOP. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE DYING. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY HOSIPITALS ARE OVER WHELMED. Proud of yourself?
I am predicting they will be burning their red MAGA hats in 6 months.
Dr Bleasdale looks terrible!

Doctors and Nurses can only keep going so long and this has been going on a yr pretty soon and when trumpers say it’s all a hoax with their dying breath how many are going to just give up and save themselves instead of risking their lives for such an ungrateful mob ?
The pulmonary Dr said 80% people who go on ventilators survive. That’s so much better than last spring, when I read about 80 – 90% of them died. But it’s dependent on skilled, knowledgeable medical staff being available. ie: stay home and wear masks when you have to go out, so they don’t get more covid patients than they can deal with.

U.S. needs to start shutting state borders if that hasn’t been done already
