  1. The chosen one is not allowing any one around him to wear a mask or his supporters will feel betrayed! And its getting closer and closer! So sad! Sort of!

  2. The dude with the rotating hand movement is back and it’s painful !Again IF YOU Do not KNOW WHAT YOU ARE testing for tests are useless!

  3. This is excellent news!! Sorry to those who are infected and act as vectors to get to Trump. We thank you for being “warriors,” just like meat packers and front-line workers.

  4. Whoa, that last part about the Secret Service was surprising. And I haven’t seen any of them wearing face masks.

    1. face masks don’t work btw! they inhibit oxygen into the lungs which makes us susceptible! do not wear them! staying 6 feet apart don’t work either! there is NO virus! please research why so? viruses were disproven 40 years ago. you’re being lied to again by NWO fake news.

    2. Steven Hanlon – Dude, the space between your ears has been rotted out by conspiracy nonsense. Nothing you said was even remotely true or part of reality. Get help.

    1. No, because you are implying that it is okay to possibly infect minor children, children of WH staff. I detest Trump but I can not go along with this idea.

    2. the virus is NWO/+ China they made it then added bat DNA into it to make us sick! they are evil and sick for doing this action.

  5. *******PRAYER******
    God bless, our scientists,to find an effective cure. HELP SOCIETY, TOO, TO EXERCISE PATIENCE, TILL we could have A CURE, ACCOMPANIED, BY freedom, and be free of Covid. AMEN!

  6. I get the feeling that the president (and even the VP, or is he just being a toady?) thinks that if he is tested daily, he will be safer. He won’t be. All it does is to tell him sooner than the rest of us (what’s so special about him that he should know sooner?) that he’s sick before he feels sick. The rest of us will know sooner that he has to be isolated during his illness to protect those around him. That would be the one upside. There is no treatment, though he no doubt has stocked up on hydroxychloroquine, which will ensure he doesn’t develop malaria, for what that’s worth. The test result just gives him a longer time to fret over whether he’s going to die or survive, a 73-year old man with preexisting conditions, starting with obesity. It has nothing to do with keeping him healthy. Testing people in the White House only tells you whether the White House is a hot spot. It doesn’t tell you where the rest of the hot spots in the nation are and who should be quarantined unless you do random testing everywhere.

  7. Test! Test! Testing! One! Two! Three! How come tRump & Evangelical Pence get tested each day if they are Super Duper Villainous Pooper Heroes & here I can’t get tested not once even if my life depends upon it? Someone explain this to me before I get angry & blow another fuse!

  8. I feel bad for Trump. He’s going to end up contracting COVID-19 and will realize there’s no way around it, that no amount of money can cure him. He’ll probably be shell shocked when that reality sinks in.

  9. On 20191231,T said,It is all well under control. Virus has been around for days. Guess T is immune. Only to bad V’s mutation is cunny.

  10. Opening certification – With the level of discipline to follow rules in the United States, once opening conditions are set, people should be training, facilities inspected and certified to follow those conditions beforehand. After they receive their certificate then they can start opening.

    For each demographic category, social distancing discipline must be evaluated. For example, you children will probably be poor in social distancing, others more discipline.

    1. this is a NWO fake news channel? please stop listening to lies. there is NO virus? this is bullshittery.

  11. Why aren’t people listening to this woman???? She is brilliant, can speak to non-scientists beautifully, and has deep expertise.

    1. could she be a liar? there are no viruses? please research. you’re being bullshitted on a fake news channel.

  12. That’s it keep trying to scare people. How can msnbc staff sleep at night. All u care about is trying to bring down our President. What happened to Russia. O ya u lied. Over and over.

  13. If I still had kids of school age there’s no way I’d let them go back to school this early, they can learn online.

  14. FLU Season is coming, I EXPECT you will PROTECT me from INFECTION or I WILL SUE YOU….. this is a ridiculous, as is main stream crapnews

  15. Can anyone download Laurie Garrett interview from Nicole Wallace ‘Deadline White House’ today. Would love to hear from her!
