Sen. Cantwell On The Washington State Coronavirus Response | All In | MSNBC

  1. I knew it. The covid19 has probably been here longer then they told us. How many flu deaths were actually covid19.

    1. @Death To Ming! I’m not sure quite what you mean, are you saying the president supports illegal immigration

  2. Biden is so right. Trump should just shut up about the coronavirus. Everything he says is garbage.

    1. @Ivanka speads for Quincy Jones We have had it since ww2, and NOW ONE is complaining, you IDIOTS ! ………….

    2. @m_train Gaming NO, I do not !. That is why I`m NOT a trumpanzee or trumpette ! you stupid SHEEP ………….

    3. @rjmidnite oh. sweetie. It’s *you’re*. Conjunctions, remember? That’s okay. You’ll be okay.

  3. Instead of dodging bullets in the jungles of Vietnam, tRump spent the 70s trying to avoid STDs because of supposed bone spurs. tEump is a germ aphobe like Howard Hughes and Michael Jaxkson and obviously is not qualified or up to the challenge of covid 19 coronavirus.

  4. China was able to test 1.6million a week and that was 1-2 weeks ago.

    The rumor within is that the Chinese offered the US their cheap and effective mass produced test kits (verified by the WHO) to help us with the outbreak, but the corrupt Trump regime rejected it so that his cronies with links to big pharma companies can profit instead.

    The result is pathetic production numbers, inferior inaccurate/faulty test kits with a vastly marked up price for American citizens.

    To add insult to injury, lifesaving ECMO, ICU ventilation and medical care and testing is paid for entirely by the supposedly “evil chicom” government, while here in the US, it remains the preserve of the rich elite. Go check out the report by WHO task force Dr Bruce Aylward on the WHO website for details.

    Disgraceful! How can we end such corruption and ineptitude at the highest echelons of our oligarch-led government??

    1. It’s not a rumour. The World Health Organization offered to get the US the test. It was from Germany. The White House said nope. Comment from a concerned Canadian.

    2. @Wade Stanton as of today, there are no new coronavirus cases outside the virus epicentre Hubei for the third consecutive day in the whole of China (1.4 billion people).

      In the epicentre Wuhan, the number of new cases is now 19/day. A marked drop from the 3000 cases a day reported by the Chinese government 2-3 weeks ago. Similar draconian measures in South Korea and Singapore have also helped stem the virus spread.

      We have to be courageous and enact decisive measures to contain the virus, and stop appointing ideologues who have neither expertise nor knowledge to run this country. These people fear most the fact that they have to copy China’s unprecedented and effective measures at virus containment. And they will avoid doing so, even at the cost of hundreds/thousands of American lives.

      Such is the state of our government now, running on lies and fearful of the truth.

      And we Americans will pay the price for it.

    3. @Andrew Smith It took a long time to get USA government to this state and will take more than pestilence to straighten it out.

  5. “If your state can’t do thousands of tests per day….YOU ARE NOT READY.” – Sen Cantwell
    “WRONG!” – t’rump administration
    🤦‍♂️

    1. Expect BLUE states to receive the least help from this government. (Repugs love punishing those pesky Libs!)

    2. Oh stop it not everybody needs a test if they’ve got runny poop moron by the way what are we paying for test for illegals

  6. Don’t look for help from this administration. They want to keep the numbers low so it don’t look bad. We already know they lie.

    1. That why you elect lactate officials. In order to handle problems. States can and should take care of themselves

    2. @m_train Gaming making an excellent case for parental neglect, by analogy. Let’s give him a round of applause ladies and gentlemen 👏👏👏👏👏

  7. Having a complete sociopath like Trump as your leader/president during a life or death crisis is probably the worst case scenario imaginable.

    1. What are you worrying about you got the great Democrat created Obamacare , the plan that’s going to be $700 a year cheaper for the average , but you have to vote for the plan before you can see the plan

    2. @Aramis3737 I don’t know about that most of the comments I am reading here are from you desperate Democrats from you triggered desperate Democrats
      But seeing who you have running for your party I can understand that fully

    3. @Josef anyone uses the term TDS is a complete uneducated fool who could not pass a 8th grade government test, Oh please prove me wrong!!!

  8. There is no specific treatment for this virus, so once we know that it is prevalent, testing becomes less important. Reserve medical care for those that need it based on their symptoms. Those with mild illness should treat their symptoms with over the counter remedies, if desired. Going to medical outlets just increases exposures, without cure.

  9. and it is imperative that we do NOT trust Trump or anybody from his INCOMPETENT Administration .

  10. It’s a virus. You get it or you don’t. Eat, sleep, and live as good as you can. Take preventives and boosters. And if you are or think you are sick play a good game of stay far far far from people.

  11. SORRY USA, it WAS 708 cases as of 22:08 ET, (02:08 GMT)!
    “Get over it!”
    As Mick Mulvaney would say…

  12. We have a denominator problem, and everyone knows it.
    More tests = more coronavirus.
    Most people feel cold symptoms.
