    1. Good question, this is the biggest overreaction to happen in over 500 years. 240000 down to 60000 both numbers assuming full social distancing? Yea sorry experts but I’m not believing that bull crap it’s more likely your data was crap and thus your model that relied on that data is also crap

    2. Writing from India, Indian prime minister and govt has released citizen advisory for people to try meditation and yoga to increase immunity. (Meditation technique included ) https://youtu.be/Feg-7Kxsi-A If you see the video and it resonates with you…please share this..

    1. companys in europe get help, i got 11500 euro for my small company from the anti corona umbrella ! how is it in usa? your president only talk or they send money ?

    2. @Lets Play™ Well…just talk and talk..corporations are waiting for that bonus..14 m employees like us were fired and will get low benefits in 2 months..

    1. You are right!!!Spring break brought the virus to South Beach, FL where I live…and we were the first to stay home, officially March 21, 2020..

    2. Like idiots in China communist who sends people out to spread coronavirus and never shutdown their airports in china in a first place

    3. @kiko Palomo-casem usa should deaclare corona virus terrorists. That the only way for them to take it seriously..

    1. It’s creepy that Mike is the representative for coronavirus when he’s never cared about people’s health when he was governor.

    2. Look into his past and who he is connected with. He tried to falsify information to approve an HIV vaccination but it was proven ineffective. He’s in it for the money. Do your own research.

    3. @A Z school is more important for you. You need to control the pandemic first if you want to reignite the economy.

    4. Better save the people first, economy can wait. Or else there won’t be any people living to care about the economy anymore

    1. So …how come that U guy’s keep voting the same people on and on to the same jobs again ??? No memories ,
      listening to too many lies , media feeding lies …or just NOT bright enough to choose ???

    2. You’re right I was laughing when he gave these people some medication to try out and it didn’t work it was white pills

    3. Jennifer Vasquez no the most creepy thing is 45% of the Americans think them doing a good job.lol

  2. Donald Duck is definitely mentally and socially deficient. If it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck ? It’s definitely a duck , Donald Duck or Mc Scrooge duck ?

  3. Wish no more people been affected and died 🙏 Best wishes 🙏 any friends need mask manufacturers contact ?

  4. This uneducated, and draft Dodger says the same nonsense everyday, nothing new. They need to talk about what they been doing with these trials, and treatments, not one person who was infected with virus was a drug addict. So it seems like whatever they have in their system is helping them. Something to think about

  5. The DEATHS IS NOT ONLY THE NUMBER….if people pass away money means nothing. Thank you for all the doctor’s and nurses not only the God.
