Magic Johnson calls out racial disparities in pandemic testing

NBA legend Magic Johnson says he's hopeful health experts will soon come up with effective treatment to help patients beat coronavirus — but added important parts in overcoming the pandemic will be expanding testing and healthcare access to African American communities who have been hit the hardest.

      I can’t believe the Sheep 🐑 is falling for this. Wait until they force the test or vaccination
      🐑🐑📺📺📺🐑🐑

    2. @ArthurMorganLivesOn I clearly know we have poverty, thats why I said we LIFT people out of poverty every year. Which we do. You should stop being so cynical about this great nation. You obviously have shitty information. Our health care is the best in the world that’s why people travel from around the world for it. Where do you get this democracy index from? I can’t believe anything you say cause you get your news from untrustworthy sources. By the way we are a Constitutional Republic not a Direct Democracy.

    1. It will continue to happen if Trump gets his way because distribution of tests will go directly by way of investment to corporations. Trump showed the American public his new 5 min test but so far the public has not seen tests widely available.

    2. Not true man, do your research, I know several people who are homeless that make sure they at least go to the free clinic

    1. I remember Evelyn Rothschild quoting that he was “CEO of Earth Inc.” I did a google search on it and can’t find that quote anymore

    2. Oh boy, he we go again with the fake racism nonsense. I call it fakeism. The CNN weasels just want to divide divide divide. CNN is horrible fakeism news

    3. ​@Aaron Antone “Look within” – as in the Dulce Base in New Mexico where they cage humans for experiments? Yeah, I suggest everyone here look into that. Thomas Castello’s interview in “The Dulce Book” by Branton got in depth with that

  1. It’s not just poor black people it’s poor people of all colors and creeds. It’s a Fn shame that this is about race and not income inequality.

    1. @cj p Obama is biracial (and genetically more white than black, white mother).
      Americans are OK with black people serving them (entertainment, and other low level jobs); also the owners who are paying millions to black entertainers are making billions.
      Read about American history and you should understand racism in America. I bet you are one of the high IQ ones.

    2. @Barbara Willis Not surprising. Youtube is one of the platforms on which they feel freely to express their hate.

    3. @Wallee Some of the pain that they inflicted during apartheid is bouncing back on them .
      Which country in the history of the world has white people migrated to and not inflict racism on native of the country?

  2. Chicken noodle soup, water, and concentrated cash? I’m a hermit, I wash my hands constantly and am staying safe BTW.

    1. South Park. I love the scene when the rich guy rolls up in a land rover telling the aids infected poor people the cure is 180 grand injected into the blood stream.

    2. Don’t worry.. it’s just a flu. They have weaponized it and used it to create psychological warfare. It’s all propaganda

    1. @ching chief
      He has never claimed any type of immunity and if the millions that have it someone else would be able to make that claim also.
      Stop lying.
      Otherwise where is your proof???

    2. @ching chief
      I’m not trying to be right.
      But if there is proof of what you say just site it. I’m willing to get a better u understanding. But I do know that he has never claimed to have immunity. Even last night they talked about his treatment, there was no such claim.

    3. @YouTube Moderator   are you sure it wasn’t because the choice wasn’t made by your state to opt in so that your state received help from the fed?

  3. Magic forgot to mention the income disparity of people who got the cocktail when it came out.
    Irvin Johnson would have been dead if he wasn’t Magic.
    Might as well have OJ Simpson on to talk about the racial disparities in prison.

    1. Hopefully he learns his lesson from sticking his ding-a-ling in lots of holes without protection

    2. You are so right???
      If it wasn’t for his money, or fame and he was a Maker throughout the eighties winning how many Championship rings???

    3. Tell that Freddy and other countless celebrities who died despite their wealth. What’s your point actually?

    4. @Lucarinho
      He admitted he got HIV so Mr. Johnson got the cocktail. ‘Other’ celebs like Rock Hudson, or Liberace kept that secret to their dying graves or hospital. The point is, some kept their stature in society to themselves. They didn’t go public and died before ‘any’ cocktail was made. Ervine Johnson admitted in 1991 I believe. The others I mentioned above died in 1984. Freddie Mercury passed on by 1991??? I don’t think he admitted it publicly either. The cocktail came about after 1991!!-

    1. P J… damn straight.. I don’t foresee myself getting tested (Covid19) even though I want to for some months to come.
      (White 54 year old here)

    2. And what percentage of Fortune 500 CEO’s, or of the top top richest entities in the world, W.A.S.P. males? #OldBoysClub

    3. HAMMERFOOT HAMMERFOOT don’t be so obtuse. He’s not talking about his struggle or stating some white people do not have it hard, but let’s be honest, you inserted your story, and wealth black people paid thousands of dollars to get the test, so that’s evens the playing field?

    1. @Carlus Wilmotyou are right insurance , money, and privilege is why minorities in the inner cities are the ones taking blunt of this virus cause you know who getting a respirator first in capitalist America.

    2. @Michael Guillory I think Magic is a good man and I am glad he got the word out but the virus is not racist. (i.e. Look at the Prime Minister of England Boris Johnson) Lets see how you did Michael, 1) CNN since 1980 2) White 3) Democrat since 1980 4) Sanders. You’re not a psychic or able to read minds so stop pretending to be a know-it-all. You never were and never will be. You are the one pretending to be smarter than everyone else, like our elected Democrats, a hypocrite. If Democrats spent all their energy helping Americans they would never lose power. Good luck to you. I am a Warriors’ fan since 1968 and Magic is one of my favorites. Transcend.

    3. @Michael Guillory God bless you and your family, us all, everyone. It is heartbreaking knowing there are, there are thousands and thousands of families losing people they love.

    1. Edgar I’m sorry. My uncle Tito died as well in the early 90’s from AIDS. I hope you and yours peace and prosperity in the future.

    2. EASY E!? He was full blown when he found out that he had it. If only he got tested sooner…

    3. You are correct Edger. The rich and famous recieve special treatment as they use their notoriety to push propaganda. DISGUSTING

  4. Can anyone please tell me where I can get some real face masks? I’m still working everyday with no break at a grocery store, every cough from the customers makes me tremble, really need the masks to protect myself, i don’t want to get infected.

    1. @Anthony Browne It’s not an opinion, though. OSHA is there to make sure your employer provides the necessary safety guidelines, procedures, PPE for the specific tasks of employment. You don’t need a respirator to ensure you can safely scan a barcode.

    1. James this is part of an interview by Alex Jones with Prof. Francis Boyle, the guy who wrote Americas bioterrorism law:

      Judge for yourself.

      Dr. Boyle: All right, well, now let me get to the second study, which is another smoking gun and a bombshell, Alex; there’s no other word for it. You remember in our previous interview, you asked me if this had come out of the BSL-4 facility in Winnipeg, Canada – was stolen out of there. I said that that could have happened. Winnipeg is our equivalent of Fort Detrick. They do every type of hideous, offensive Nazi-type biological warfare work up there you can possibly imagine. But again, on the basis of materials, scientific materials, I had a chance to read over the weekend. I have changed my opinion on that. I think I have the definitive evidence where this came from and it came from the BSL-3 biowarfare lab at the University of North Carolina. Now I have condemned them before because they have done gain of function work, DNA genetic engineering on every hideous biological warfare agent you can imagine including MERS at that time, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome agent, which again, is a biowarfared coronavirus. Now it just came to my mind–

      Alex: Say that again because we’re going to pull this up as you speak. You said the other study– we pulled it up.

      Dr. Boyle: Study [inaudible] was there gain of function DNA genetic engineering on MERS, which is Middle East Respiratory–

      Alex: –and that was the University of?

      Dr. Boyle: North Carolina. Right? They have a BSL-3 biowarfare lab there.

      Alex: Oh, that’s something I keep reading that they do level four stuff at level threes, right?

      Dr. Boyle: I think they are, but they’re doing it with a level three. The last I saw, that’s all they had. But let me go through this study. It’s entitled “A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence.”

    2. Of course it was intentional, riots in Hong Kong the United States putting tariffs and restrictions on Chinese goods and Taiwan still doing their thing as an independent nation, the Communist Chinese regime had to send a message and they did loud and clear all over the world, they will do anything in their power to surpass the United States as the only world power and this is just only the beginning,

    3. @nate love martial law? You tell me me, I have yet to see the military marching down my street with tanks and AR-15 ‘s but I only live in a small corner of America, maybe out your window you see something different.

    4. Joe C
      Don’t have too. Stay home and do what your told. Meet your curfew at 5pm, stop at those police road side checks, don’t forget to show the Nazi cop your papers to go to work at night, don’t gather but keep a social distance, while all your restaurants and mom and pop store either closed or going out of business, don’t forget that beer 🍺 because the liquor stores have limited hours or closed, oh my kids want to go to the playground-man the park is closed, 32 million Americans out of work don’t be a victim of crime. I’m sure you can depend on your NEW WORLD ORDER Police Department to Save You.
      What Martial Law everything is normal.
      Your like a Frog 🐸 in a pot that is slowly being cooked to death and don’t even know it. 🐸🐸📺📺📺🐸🐸🐑

    1. He is still alive because he is rich. A normal person who caught it when he did would most likely have died a long time ago.

    2. The Mark of Kain death doesn’t know rich or poor. Many rich people have died of aids. Let’s not be ignorant.

    3. @The Mark of Kain oh really? How come Freddy died? The greatest Rockstar at his time. Stop spreading false information and get yourself educated. There are many scientific reasons why magic survived.

    4. Jeremy Moore
      Magic never had AIDS. That MF is the spokesperson for the NWO Depopulation Agenda. He sold out long time ago. People that took the AZT Medicine died from the drug just like cancer and chemotherapy

    1. @Joe Mizo Sage advice from an incel who pleasures himself during the big Orangutan’s Daily Press Briefings.

    2. Don’t forget the hundreds of girls he had sex with, contracting HIV, then had sex with his wife without telling her he was exposing her to disease.

      Truly, a role model for America during this pandemic…..

    1. Like wtf Anderson……. no matter the truth just rip Trump to shreds and 2020 will be Uncle Joe’s.

      Hell yea

  5. I saw a question on the screen. ” Is the coronavirus airborne?” April 10th and someone ask if it’s airborne.. Been under a rock?

    1. Hell there probably wasn’t even no Major sports until 7 was born too. Just my opinion.

    2. Yes yes yes. It’s airborn since it can survive in the air for some time. But they are hiding that it’s not. Remember WHO said that it’s not transmitted to human but IT IS
