    1. I couldn’t have said it better myself now if I could only get the hateful people on this planet to inhale the virus hey Ma as well include the greedy people to

    2. There are people who want to go out and have a life, not just sit inside lonely all the time. People aren’t so bad

    1. @Izzywizzy heat disease isn’t contagious. I’ll stand next to a a person with a heart condition. I’m not standing next to a person coughing. When someone coughs on you because you don’t want to stand back, don’t complain.

    2. @Izzywizzy it’s not 60000 its 40000 a year people die in the us from the flu but this virus is way more contagious and kills 1000s in days quickly. Way more deadly.

  1. Once this is over I never want to hear the Lil phrases again. ” Flatten the curve, social distancing, new normal, “

    1. @dootdootoo shahhh yep, they can take their vaccines and shove them up their pee holes!

    2. Yes i really hope they flatten the curve on social distancing because this is definitely not the new norm 😛

    1. @Ronald Trump video looks fishy bro, I can’t choose between right or left when both seem odd, I say there should be a new party for people who are stuck in between.

    2. WhoDuniit _ here’s a better video that might explain it better. Especially when Trump shows his video at the 7:28 mark. Sorry about the funky automation voice. I’ve seen several videos like that before. I think the person is trying to protect himself from people or YouTube finding out who he is. Check this video out. Hopefully this will explain it better. https://youtu.be/8skK9_hr7H0

  2. If we had to live like this until 2022…welp, we’ll already be living like Mad Max Thunderdome.

    1. @Jason Cougar And that is the reason this world isnt going to collapse? hmm i wish i had your hope, but i am a realest. Welcome to the beginning from here on out it only gets worse.

  3. Social distancing
    Cooper: I need to cough but I can’t because you are going to think I’m infected

  4. when it first happen I said watch them extend it from mid April to May, currently the end date is mid May. May is coming up and they’re already talking 2022. why?

    1. This bastards have already got most people’s souls as it progresses. This was supposed to be something that we dip in and out of, now they’re getting greedy

    2. @Abraham Saldana No one thought we were dipping in and out of this except for Trump the people who believed him.

  5. 1918 influenza came in four waves / six months apart / second wave was the worse – sounds about right

    1. @ennie minee No, the 1918 pandemic had three bell curves. The first was very light and few people died. The second and third curves cost over a million lives. Statistical math is, in my opinion, is more of a manipulation of confidence level for achieving a desirable result. Nature seems to have a logarithmic predictive structure, where on a uncontrolled level, it needs time and determination to erase.
      This isn’t about political narratives where each camp echoes it’s message by what the leader issue from their ‘news sourse’ platform; I’m just trying to formulate a reasonable justification for an orderly preservation of human life.

    2. Yeah, I think you’re right. But that’s what news outlets do. I’m much more concerned with getting that orange miscreant out of the White House and out of our lives forever. But yes, this is definitely fear-mongering. Come on, it’s not even close to 2022.

    3. ennie minee that is not what was said. He said the opposite of what you said which is more horrifying. What he said was the purpose of social distancing was to keep the medical facilities capacity ahead of the sick and dying until enough people have hopefully become immune to the virus so that it will kill like the flu.

      Believe it or not, many people in the workforce will not make it to 2022 without social distancing, because of underlying health conditions which is more widespread in the American population than you think. In the meantime, workers with underlying conditions will have a chance at surviving the disease due to a vaccine and or enough ventilators to handle the mini outbreaks. Social distancing will keep these people from dying in mass quantities.
      Not everyone will return to the workforce. This is an ugly picture of American life facing all of us because so many Americans have underlying conditions.

    4. Social distancing will be necessary until there’s a vaccine. That takes us to 2021 at the earliest.

  6. Once this pandemic is finally over people need to start thinking about changing the health system we have!!!!!!

    1. @Peri Turner Are you kidding. Good for you that your insurance company is covering it. It’s not the case for all insurance company. Certainly the largest one where I live isn’t doing that. I’m for non-profit regulation of insurance and pharmaceutical companies. But I gotta admit, I don’t have a complete proposal for you. If I did, I’d be in politics.

    2. @winterbreeze32 More government intervention and red tape. Yeah that’s really what we need.

      Literally today they said they were doing it. More may follow. Auto insurance companies are also reducing premiums. They arent evil and out to get people. Yes, they have to profit like any business but not exploit.

    3. @winterbreeze32 Excess government takes away from the freedom and liberty of the people. These are the basis of why the US was founded. Less government and fewer taxes.

    1. @Arapaho Sundancer it’s way overdue the people who fought and died defending the Constitution the idea of 2022 Guadalupe wanted this way

    2. The vast majority of us will get the virus. It’s inevitable and no government can prevent it so prepare for that reality as you isolate at home by losing weight, exercising and taking immune system enhancing medications.

  7. Which is going to cause more harm: COVID-19 going through the population or prolonged economic stress? We need an economy to fight the virus. We can’t simply hide from it forever

    1. Syllabaphet J You can’t have an effective economy and expect ppl to return to work with a deadly virus lingering. The plague will kill more ppl thus further sending the economy into an abyss anyway. If the American work force is dead or sick we lose regardless. The best option and really the only option is to develop a cure, but of course we all know that there is no money in cures, only in treatments. Our incompetent POTUS cares more about our economy starting back up sooner than later rather than finding a solution to this pandemic which he should have taken action on back in February to prepare for this hour. This entire objective is money driven at the unfortunate expense of innocent lives.

    1. dsquaurtier. It’s only the liberal democrat idiots that are pushing fake numbers. They think this will hurt President Trump. As usual, they are wrong.
      We’ll be back to work in a few weeks. CNN will find new lies.
      PRESIDENT TRUMP 2020!!!

    2. @NeoKurow panama es una mierda y lo sabemos, no podre tomar una cerveza hasta 2022 y me morire de hambre :v puto gobierno, puta policia los odio. Un mes de cuarentena esta bien pero aqui en este pais ya nos quieren matar
