Quarantines In U.S. To Curb Virus Spread ‘A Good Possibility’ | MTP Daily | MSNBC

  1. It’s sad, but I believe the various news channels more than I believe the US government right now. I feel compelled to add: what government.

    1. @MatterIsNotSolid Really? Are you sure it wasn’t the Faux News Channel making Obama into a liar? He wasn’t “great” but he was pretty honest.

    2. @Karras Bommer the news channels are far ahead on this. Thankfully, we have a free press, and unfortunately a faux president.

    1. Bud Fudlacker really genius. Republicans are in office. Still trying to take America back to the 1920s. Besides technology it kinda is. Can’t stop progress though, as dumb as you seem to imply.

    1. Watching your news here from Europe since 4 years very intensive, i totally agree with you. Stephanie and Ari Velshi are two of best you have in your country in this business. Many of your news anchors are just microphone holders. In Germany, England or France your politicians would have been grilled by journalists if they would have tried to lie and lie and lie as much as some of your guys did and are still doing. I hope they will get more aggressive, more challenging and be better prepared for interviews as the were in the past.

  2. _”Trump shook Rep. Doug Collins’ hand before congressman self-quarantined”_
    *HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ROFLMAO!!! LOL LOL!!!* 😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣

    1. Jesus, Dementia Joe is beating Communist Sanders! Trump has already won 2020! LAUGH OUT LOUD! SMILEY FACES!

    1. Bc they were already a repressive country. It raises more eyebrow when you take a drastic step. Trump won’t do that bc he’s playing politics instead of trying to stop it. In some state of denial that it will go away and everyone will blame the dems.

    1. @Some Person Sorry! I read your comment incorrectly! My apologies. You are correct about the death rate.

    2. Lucy, The numbers are not set in stone it is not known, Trump gets briefed everyday by experts! Do you? Tell me what good it would do to make people panic early? The experts talk all the time so if you are only considering what Trump says that is stupid. Trump is committed to keep numbers as low as possible let the experts do the work and that is all you can do! It may be the spread cannot be contained, I thank China and there wet markets it spreads disease and it tortures wild animals that don’t even belong together or in China!

  3. ….meanwhile in the USA: It takes just one previously unknown VIRUS to take out a dumb, pathological, lying, cheating, menacing deranged one!!👍 Ya couldn’t make it up.

    1. Trisha Meenaghan have you seen the test kits we have now? Dear Leader says they’re beautiful. We should test a tiny amount, keep that boat with sick people off shore, and our numbers will remain looking good!

  4. #BernieSanders2020
    MEDICARE FOR All AMERICANS
    He’s the only one who supports it!
    And we’re gonna need it.
    #Bernie2020

    1. @Laura Lafauve hey, that pony will come in handy during the Trump apocalypse…he’s STILL got my support.
      #dontfeartheflu #feelthebern

    2. @James Vincent no leverage? Fake your marbles off shore, you do zero business in US… FLAWED as we are, we still are the nation if over consumption.. we want the products and they NEED our $$$

    3. @Laura Lafauve the age if the account doesn’t mean what it used to. Many new accounts I’ve talked to are those that are finally trying to be heard.. yes, the trolls are still there, peddling hate and lies to and from both sides.. but I find many that see the risk in the office and chime in and sadly some finally bought into the cult45 koolaid

    4. JUST BECAUSE YOU GET MEDICARE FOR ALL DOESN’T MEAN YOU GET ANYTHING MORE THAN BASIC CARE. IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU GET PRIORITY IN ANY WAY. THE RICH WILL STILL GET THE BETTER TREATMENT. BE CAREFUL FOR WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE ASKING FOR. THIS IS NOT CANADA. AMERICA HAS A DIFFERENT AGENDA OR OUR MEDS WOULD NOT BE HIGHER. THE SAME PEOPLE WILL BE IN CHARGE REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU CALL IT OR WHO IS PRESIDENT!

  5. Those lower income workers with no health care and no sick days: where are they working when they can’t afford to stay home sick? In the service industries, serving coffee, cleaning hotels, preparing food, taking tickets at venues, bagging food in the supermarket, cleaning your house, driving your taxi….. It doesn’t take a genius to see where that’s going.

    1. Working at Amazon, Walmart, Disney – basically any big company that pays sh&t wages while the owner is worth billions.

    2. @Nancy Bourque True, so if the government want them to stay home and quarantine, they should be given food for their families, and have their bills paid for. The little it would cost would far outweigh the stop of spreading the virus to others.

    1. Many people say they are the most beautiful tests that hasn’t been seen before in the history of the world.

  6. We still have to see how this virus behaves with obese people, something not so common in China, Korea or Italy but very common in the US comparatively

    1. Luca, would probably depend on age and just how over weight you mean, some extra pounds can help sometimes as you can lose a lot of weight with a illness.

  7. Oh, now i see! ..
    Heres the skinny folks. Guess what ? No test kits equal low numbers which trump wants. Hes rolln’ the dice that a slow roll out will keep the real numbers from coming out while he hopes it goes away soon on the 9th hole of an 18 rounder.

  8. This reminds me of the hysteria over the swine flu. Media fear mongering raking in big advertisement money.
