It's Not About Meat: Cuomo Cites Worker Crowding In Outbreaks At Food Plants | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
god, i love this man!
Anthony Vega : I hurt your Trumpophile, “feelings,” did I? Did you mean, “neither,” there, son? Missed that day at trump U, did we? There, there . . . When it’s proved to you, that trump was robbing YOU Trumpophiles even MORE than the rest of us, you’ll be glad people like me were there to look out for you, son 😉
R McElhaney Andrew please stop commenting on your own videos
@Anthony Vega33 And many Trump lovers consider taking Lysol.
You’re a different kind of stupid!
@Julie Ring actually I am not very bright , but can still tell that this so called journalist is a straight up nut job
Moscow Mitch just admitted that Obama left Trump a pandemic plan.

Mitch, along with every single member of congress, votes billions for israel as they vote sanctions on Russia. Why not call him tel aviv Mitch?

@Tom Jones Joneses, because countless Israelis are Russians too!
Just ask the Russian-Israeli Bibi Netanyahu! 😱🙊🙉🙈😊😷🤗😘

Tom Jones FYI, Trump’s Republican-Mafia are also openly supporting and protecting Saudi Arabia from massive lawsuits for Saudi Arabia’s connection and responsibility for 9/11.
Price-Question:
WHERE did our “gawd-“-Mafia Don Trump rushed to just to grab the Earth’s globe, like he illegitimately grabs p@ssies, immediately after his illegal ” selection” by the criminal world’s oil-oligarchs via the Electoral College?
HINT: it wasn’t Israel, not Russia or CHINA nor Timbuktu! 😊😷🤗😘
Americans are dumb-kept religious fanatic twits, and that fact hasn’t changed in the past 200+ years. 😊

@Studio 51W.A.R.N.I.N.G.!!! 🗨 THIS ACCT.IS A BOT! IF YOU LIKE OR RETWEET-AGREE WITH IT YOU MAY OPEN YOUR ACCT UP FOR MALWARE! 🗨
So it’s about 1 person in a large group infecting all hmmm, how bout nursing homes? You killed thousands of seniors
@Jim Battersbee The problem with an all-inclusive statements is they by definition are seldom true. The USA is defined as a geographical region, incapable of expressing human traits. While some American residents may be greedy many more are extremely needy. Animals, including human animals, have a tendency to be influenced by external stimuli as well as genetic factors, few complex organisms/systems are simplistic as they may seem.
@Reality Check
Not “seldom true”, in this instance, “most likely correct”.
Cheers
@Studio 51 Obama’s Admin investigation of Russian spying was patriotic. Most voters are smart enough to see through Trump’s devious distractions/plots to smear all political opponents. Russia interfered in the 2016 election helping Trump. Trump’s campaign had 100> contacts with Russian operatives, irrefutable facts. Barr/Trump have worked relentlessly to persecute/smear all who dare investigate Trump’s campaign Russian connection under the fallacy of absolute exec power.
I agree with the Governor, it’s the horrid work conditions that fueled the increase in infected people. Look for continued increases in prisons, on Naval Ships, in classrooms and call centers. Dumb people crowding into bars to get drunk….it will spread.
@Paula Baumann March 2, 2020 From “Mayor de Blasio, Governor Cuomo Hold Media Availability on the First Confirmed Case of Coronavirus in NY State”
NY Governor Andrew Cuomo:
“So, I want to make sure I tell the people of NY what I told my daughter – in this situation, the facts defeat fear, because the reality is reassuring. It is deep breath time.
This – first of all, this is not our first rodeo with this time of situation in NY.
In 1968, we had the Hong Kong flu.
In 2009, we had the Swine flu, where we actually closed like 100 schools in NY State.
Avian flu, Ebola, SARS, MERS, measles, right?
So, we have gone through this before.
When you look at the reality here, about *80 % of the people who are infected with the coronavirus self-resolve.*
They have symptoms, the *symptoms are similar to what you would have with the normal flu,* and for most people, they treat themselves, over 80 %, and the virus resolves that way.
About 20 % get ill.
The mortality rate is estimated to be about 1.4 %.
1.4 %, what does that mean?
The normal flu mortality rate is about 0.6 %, and the CDC says 1.4, but they’re extrapolating from what we know from countries around the world.
First, even on the 1.4 %, again that is – *tends to be people who are debilitated, senior-citizens, many of whom have an underlying illness* – that tends to be the people who are vulnerable to this. Good news, children do not appear as vulnerable to this virus. Less vulnerable than to the normal flu.
So, that is good news, but 1.4 %, that’s extrapolating from China and other countries.
80 %, it’ll resolve on their own.
The woman who has now tested positive, she’s at home, she’s not even in a hospital, so the perspective here is important.
And the facts, once you know the facts, once you know the reality, *it is reassuring, and we should relax,* because that’s what’s dictated by the reality of the situation. I get the emotion, I understand, I understand the anxiety. I’m a native-born NYer, we live with anxiety.
*But the facts don’t back it up here.*
Also, we’re extrapolating from what happened in China and other countries – we have the best health care system in the world here. And excuse our arrogance as NYers – I speak for the Mayor also on this one – *we think we have the best health care system on the planet right here in NY.*
So, when you’re saying, what happened in other countries versus what happened here, *we don’t even think it’s going to be as bad as it was in other countries.*
*We are fully coordinated, we are fully mobilized.* This is all about mobilization of a public health system – getting the testing done, getting the information out, and then having the health care resources to treat people who are going to need help.
Again that is going to be primarily senior citizens, people who are debilitated, and *we are going to have a special effort for our nursing homes,* etcetera – congregate facilities where senior citizens are being treated.”
@SouthSide Chicago It is not the same
Worth noting the complexity of COVID-19 and the many ways it attacks the body and how it is not readily diagnosed.

What Doctors Are Learning From Autopsy Findings of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Patients
@Elaine Daprano the guy who was striped of his command knew Covid would overrun the crew as there was no way of isolating the infected and no way to socially distance.
@SouthSide Chicago Just keep listening to the Tangerine Caligula and you’ll be able to experience it first hand.
Thanks for including call centers. I quit mine on March 22 and i already felt a week too late. I knew i would die there if i stayed longer in that bubbling festering petri dish with sanitation exactly the same as in 2018, nothing ramped up, the oblivious upbeat happy CEO making tons of money in a boomtime sending us a video telling his minimum wage workers (many disabled seniors) how much he loved us and to sacrifice more.
South Korea had 102 cases in a call center in March. An Arapahoe basin call center had one positive in March. In a Syracuse N.Y. call center (internet company…charter?) employees families were in an uproar about the company culture that refused to acknowledge or adapt.
Since then, it’s all very hush hush and i can’t find out how many at my Colorado call center have gotten sick or died. I emailed countless agencies and got one canned response a month later. Googling gets almost nothing. Time to research again.
Like in Wisconsin yesterday in the bars. Or Michigan today where they were all out protesting without masks.
@Laurie Huntley thats right Dems are beyond hope
Laurie Huntley true
Yeah they’re celebrating the right to ger hammered in public again, the right to contract the virus, and the right to infect others. Being a minnesotan, i know what Wisconsin has more of than cheese– bars and drunks.
steve hessburg it’s sad. All the people these fools come in contact with. The number dead will be over 90000 tomorrow and next week it will be over 100000. Trump is inciting these people. When will they get he couldn’t care less about them. If they die it doesn’t bother him. He’s a malignant narcissist.
Although disclaimer: Not all of us in Michigan are idiots! Those fools are the black sheep of the State. The rest of us have a brain.
Donald Trump make the Rev Jim Jones look like a light weight.

@Dave Schultz Care to let everyone know what community you’re in and how successful it is in dealing with the virus? In a trailer park and can’t go to your local bar and your upset? On a farm and you think your immune and can’t sell your government subsidized food product? No one here cares about hearing *your* problem at this point! In an ivory tower and your cleaning staff isn’t showing up to clean for you? That time has past trump troll! No one cares about your view of Democrats and cities that are dealing with the crisis. You should leave now before you just embarrass yourself further.
@Dave Schultz *trump is gonna lose!* Get used to it and think about how you’re going to hide your ill gotten gains when the time comes!
@Dave Schultz Can you explain that? It’s not like any math I have seen.
I see brainwashed people😥
@Chicago Boy Funny I have Dems renting trailers from me a Trump supporter. I love you loser libbers and your stereotyping BS. Cnn clones you parriot each other and pat each other on the back for doing so.
Governor Cuomo… Would you please, run for president… You surely would win…🌞🌞🌞
No he would not.
He doesn’t want to. But I wish he would run for the Senate.

@del23 aze See now, that’s the difference between Cuomo & Trump. Both of them underestimated this virus.
But when faced with the reality of how horrifying it is, one of them stepped up to help his state, while the other sunk as low as he could to jeopardise his nation.
@del23 azewow!!!!that made me laugh I needed that thanks!!😀😀
@Courtney Boyle thank your crush, Cuomo.
“Fire Through Dry Grass.” You’ve got the name of book, documentary, film – whatever. You’ve got the name for this American catastrophe right there.
One sentence to describe Trumps presidency: “Fire though dry grass”
needs the image of Trump looking for his golfball in the high grass while the fire rises all around.
Cary Cooke – Newcomb ‘anx’ you’re funny. Anx can’t spell.
@conny lake I can, actually, spell. I saw your comment re: “the name of a book” while closing down open tabs, LATE at night/EARLY in the morning , without my glasses. I feel sh*ty that you would publicly spell-shame me after I complimented YOU …. they were awful typos.
p.s. It’s especially hurtful as I taught ENGLISH for 20 years. Last time I make a public comment~ even a positive one. You’re a bully.
Cary Cooke – Newcomb then I apologise unreservedly. I misinterpreted your original message assuming you were being cynical. I hope you keep safe.
What about produce packaging? I suspect all over the food industry it’s the same.
Disease doesn’t infect produce until it comes in contact with bacteria in shipping, usually in refer trucks sitting for hours. Truck lines really should Lysol the inside of those trucks. Also fruit flies spread fungus on their feet and wings. Open air handling of produce isn’t the danger area. Packing plants are sometimes clean, sometimes not so much. And Trump’s FDA has cut number of inspectors way down…letting the COMPANIES do their OWN, which of course, THEY WON’T. All this is why the UK doesn’t want to accept our trade deal. NOBODY wants our crap.
You have to take into account how much of the food industry is mechanized, so fewer people working close together.
92 of Rock County’s 311 coronavirus cases are tied to the Bird’s Eye facility in neighboring Walworth County. This is in Wisconsin.
Trump’s virus kicked him off of P. Obama’s legacy to build his own. Trump failed like the bankrupting failure that he really is.
Ever heard of John Durham? tic tock….
Essential worker’s are beyond our understanding. We need these professionals like medical front liners and groceries clerks, etc

@Dave Schultz it’s almost like we arnt using tunnel vision and can work on more than 1 thing at a time. Sorry your adolescent brain cant handle more than a single topic.
@Dave Schultz – And you idiots are following the same Pentagon playbook on China. What’s your point?
@Huff Huff – Russiagate is just as dumb a Chinagate. If Republicans and Democrats cant see that…then both sides are brainwashed.
Ah….tell Vlad that on the nuke thing, I can be much more flexible after I win the next election.

Trumpov / covid 2020
“Fire though dry grass” … great analogy
What happened in NY was and still is a tragedy. The rest of America should have learnt from what they did right and what they did wrong. A lot of the States ignored them and in time will pay dearly for their pure ignorance and incompetence..
It’s because of this Cuomo why there’s such a disparity between NY and the rest of US! Corruption and incompetence rules in NY!
Wisconsin…..
We can only #hopenpray ,Matthew Lewis!
Matthew Lewis :Carlos Stranger is off his meds AGAIN?! He needs to #stfu .
And Dump says. “”The State Governments are taking away your Freedom. Use your right to carry and go bargain with your governor, and PROTEST, PROTEST, PROTEST!”
Donny’s gotta’ get his burgers, though? He wants the Helots to get back to work, because he’s gambling that we’ll all get immune if we’re ALL EXPOSED. Lot of people are going to die for that gamble, even if he’s right. Which the scientists are saying that he’s wrong. Who knew? . . .
Officials need to start saying ”one, is a hundred”. Bluff in New Zealand has 1 at a wedding that turned into 96 infections including the father of the groom dying.
Were they not wearing masks?
J F if it’s that contagious wtf is a piece of cotton and two rubber bands really gonna do?
I am so sorry! That is terrible! May the survivors find peace. The bride and groom must be devestated.
Absolutely a NATIONAL STANDARD. If only we had a president who does less talking and more leading 🤔
@grow forit go to your corner and sit down!
@Clarence Walker go to your restroom and check the stalls. As you’re looking down at the contents of the bowl that haven’t been flushed, you will see what flows from ur president’s mouth. If Cuomo was a Republican chump would love him like a bum loves a bologna sandwich. That is, til he got jealous of the attention that the governor was getting. If ur boy had shown a micro percentage of Cuomo’s effort we would be in a better place.
@grow forit Ok. I see we have different opinions on what leadership is…
@grow forit FYI, your BEST Stable-Geniuses, the Trump’s Republican-Mafia are also openly supporting and protecting Saudi Arabia from massive lawsuits for Saudi Arabia’s connection and responsibility for 9/11.
Price-Question:
WHERE did our “gawd-“-Mafia Don Trump rushed to just to grab the Earth’s globe, like he illegitimately grabs pu****s, immediately after his illegal ” selection” by the criminal world’s oil-oligarchs via the Electoral College?
HINT: it wasn’t Israel, not Russia or CHINA nor Timbuktu! 😊😷🤗😘
Americans are dumb-kept religious fanatic twits, and that fact hasn’t changed in the past 200+ years. 😊
