    1. Agent Exhale just left a video and some complained they forgot to press record before he started talking. Some people prefer dead air to missing anything.

  1. 6 trillion / 350 million means each person in the United States is indebting $17000 in hopes of getting the US out of this mess. Why not just give each person that amount. That means a family of 4 will have enough for a year to keep food on the table and pay their bills. There is no guarantee how long it will be before you get your job back if ever.

    1. 6 trillion is not cause by corona virus but it is the expense of war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and middle east. As a citizen of America you are giving $17000 for killing the innocent children and people of these country…. These children have became homeless they have nothing to eat…. And now America had signed peace treaty with talibans….

    1. if they dont do it then the media will be like “TRUMP ISNT DOING ANYTHING” . Just like they did for that doctor being out doing work for one day instead of answering stupid media questions he answered dozens of times

    1. And all of a sudden, the 1st 20 minutes were deleted. I watched this when it came out and it had 20 minutes of just the podium. Didn’t know you could edit videos already uploaded. Would be a shame if someone edited it with some #DeepFake footage after the fact… hmmm…

    1. @Johan Barua Not really, it’s all verifiable do some research. It’s all in the bible, pretty scary ha? Not something most people want to look at. Scary stuff.

    2. @Bama Chad These numbers are what the professionals have been saying since the very effing beginning. When we italians and chinese were yelling at USA “start your lockdown NOW, don’t wait, don’t do our mistake because this virus doesn’t forgive waiting” we weren’t mad. THIS is what this virus does. Doubling the cases in 2.5 days for each day without a lockdown. 30+ growth rate of infections per day, exponential growth, 20% of infected that might need to be ventilated, 0.3-3% mortality rate. These are the professionals’ numbers.

    1. They are still figuring it out because some people don’t agree with the major corporations bail out in the agreement but supposedly they are very close to an agreement they have to make some adjustments I heard on the news earlier today.

    2. @Mityme Istemporary I was all excited. I actually hope its not through employers cuz im a real estate agent and I dont get paychecks from them! I havent sold anything lol.

    3. Hey There I was referencing Seinfeld with the no soup for you. In understand you completely though. My brother was a real estate agent for a few years. Barely made anything. Nothing like the over exaggerated garbage they show on the TV. “I sold a billion dollar house and as their agent I got a trillion dollar, wait how did you….. no time for reality on this reality tv”. Finally he got a different job. Happy he did that. Sadly this is ridiculous. No income and expenses pile up quickly. This month is gonna be a hard one for all of us. The whole 99% of us.
      Maybe I should go look for that 70k earring in the ocean lol 😉

    4. @Mityme Istemporary yea thats a classic episode. Actually, my mothers been doing real estate for 10 years and she does well , I just started in the worst time of the year winter and then corona hit. I was working in the school system for a while prior and that really was torture . I did laugh at your comment tho initially tho , lol

  2. If people are leaving New York and spreading the virus to other cities, why aren’t there more strict limitations on traveling to prevent more cases

    1. AlwaysABiggerFish I’m an RN on the front lines! It’s cruel and unusual punishment when we can’t get PPE to care for when people get sick! We need people to stop being selfish and please stay home! Adhere to the damn laws so we can catch up on saving lives!

  3. I hope the virus are gone soon . I want back to school , work and my activities. I’m so stuck rn just stay home and study on online it doesn’t make me feel good.

    1. Sorry to hear “it doesn’t make you feel good” , skippy. I want to go back to work because I want to be able to continue paying my staff, my mortgage and my bills after next week.
