Senator Skeptical Of President Donald Trump Response To Coronavirus | Morning Joe | MSNBC
trump cares more about the stock market than actual people. who da thunk it?
TDS
And you care more about bashing Trump than people.
Sarah B
i have a question. What exactly would you do about the virus if you were in charge and whiny Democrats were complaining about you?
@Alex Hamilton Good question, don’t expect a good answer. Right about now you’ll start getting called a few choice names.
Oh Mike Pence is in control. You have nothing to worry about America…
Pence Cure For Coronavirus: You take a small picture of a Saint preferably Donald, Ivanka, Jared, or Don Jr you set it a fire and place under a glass and place over the patients chest till the fire is out, see Godfather Sick Fredo cure for further instructions
Tell you what, I’ll take the batteries out of my smoke alarm, it isn’t getting used right now.
That’s not far from how you guys think
KesselRunner606 Exactly!!
Good metaphor!
Italy has identified at least TEN people who had the virus but had no symptoms, because they test everyone coming from an infected area. These people were spreading the disease without knowing it.
The US is testing ONLY people with symptoms. We could have “typhoid marys” here in the US, too.
@Dulcie Gray It worried me that after 14 days they allowed people on the Diamond Princess to walk away without restrictions if they had no symptoms. They knew that some of those people had tested positive but never developed symptoms. Breathtakingly irresponsible. And it gets worse. There are reasons to suspect this is a genetically engineered virus, designed to cause no symptoms in a fraction of the population so as to assure its widespread transmission if the authorities do not act wisely.
@Gaardepeffer Right now it doesn’t matter where they are from
@Don’t Bet on It After reading the news about the whistleblower today in the times, I guess it doesn’t matter to the government if infection control procedures are followed.
@Red Alert – I’m nolonger certain of the source of the report, but someone today reported that a dog had tested positive for the virus. They were concerned about the potential for pet to human transmission.
The “Chosen 1”, the Genius says “I don’t think its inevitable” !! The Chosen Genius says …. – SO it is gospel !! The “twilight zone of Insanity” is still daily expanding !!
@lilly pad My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is my go to man. Who is yours?
@Mr Deese Same here that is why I could never support Liberalism and the Ideology of the Democrats who are influenced by Demons. Would you like the scripture verse for that statement?
@lilly pad just one verse? My King James Bible is full of verses on that subject. The mainstream media is America’s biggest problem. They preach to the masses 24/7 on immoral ways. I’m in my 60’s and America has never had a president that has stood up for Christians like President Trump.
@Mr Deese Amen my friend! Totally agree with you!
He put mother’s little helper in charge. That’s like making Ted Kaczynski chief of the bomb squad.
Oh..oh..perfect comment !! . 👏👏👏👍👍🖒🖒💣💥😷🤒
@Richard L. T. Not really. Popped right into my head.
Ted would be qualified with his knowledge, but like you hacks, he’s a psychopath so consideration for him is unwarranted.
@Shawn Corbin Because your boy Donny isn’t a psychopath. Got it.
He’s setting up Pence to fall on the sword of need be. If anything goes down Pence is going to be blamed for any failure.
Only after Obama the Clintons and Mitt Romney.
The intelligent people know its on Trump. He is too late!! He was more worried about the stock market. Care a less about human life. Despicable!!
What a wonderful American “leader”
@Brenda Zorros trump lacks basic human emotion decency and compassion. How does his robots follow him?
A rhyme from my childhood. I had a little bird, it’s name was Enza , I opened the door and influenza .
There’s another : Ring a ring o’ Rosies…..
Relevance, yours is not. As I recall it’s Ring around the Rosie…………
Ima Farmer : CUTE !!!
@Ima Farmer ‘ Ring a rosies’ is believed to be about the effects of the Great Plague of London 1665 which killed a quarter of the population.
Pence always stands in the background like a first class, “Stick in the Mud”. He might think he’s Christ, but I feel he is just a covert War Hawk trying to make Revelations come true.
He stands in the background staring at trump with that ‘oh my god I so love you!’ expression. Personally if someone, male or female, looked at me like that I’d head for the nearest police station.
Kind of like all the VP’s right? Or maybe Pence is the first one.
@amazed totally creepy, your right.
Pence always in the back looking at the back of trump’s head, he never looks to the people in front of him………..creepy
you can’t hope to track and/or slow the spread of any contagion in this country. how do you propose to track people who can’t afford to seek medical care and won’t be reporting symptoms to anyone?
When Lyin’ Donnie* says, “Everything is fine, it’s under control.” you know it’s time to panic.
*Impeached, but keeps on lying like he thinks we believe him.
“Some People Push Back”
On the Justice of Roosting Chickens
By Ward Churchill
When queried by reporters concerning his views on the assassination
of John F. Kennedy in November 1963, Malcolm X famously – and quite
charitably, all things considered – replied that it was merely a case
of “chickens coming home to roost.”
On the morning of September 11, 2001, a few more chickens – along
with some half-million dead Iraqi children – came home to roost in a
very big way at the twin towers of New York’s World Trade Center. Well, actually,
a few of them seem to have nestled in at the Pentagon as well.
The Iraqi youngsters, all of them under 12, died as a predictable –
in fact, widely predicted – result of the 1991 US “surgical” bombing
of their country’s water purification and sewage facilities, as well as other
“infrastructural” targets upon which Iraq’s civilian population depends for
its very survival.
If the nature of the bombing were not already bad enough – and
it should be noted that this sort of “aerial warfare” constitutes a Class
I Crime Against humanity, entailing myriad gross violations of international
law, as well as every conceivable standard of “civilized” behavior –
the death toll has been steadily ratcheted up by US-imposed sanctions for
a full decade now. Enforced all the while by a massive military presence
and periodic bombing raids, the embargo has greatly impaired the victims’
ability to import the nutrients, medicines and other materials necessary
to saving the lives of even their toddlers.
Just worry about your STD’s Beldar……those will get you.
He is trusted 50 times more than the tentacles of CABALMEDIA ANYWHERE !
Nobody knows that much about it yet. If Trump is lying then maybe you can fill us all in on the truth and facts about the virus.
a voice of sanity; a politician who appears to know what he’s talking about
I work in healthcare and several of our staff were exposed to a patient who had coronavirus. It wasn’t know until patient’s test came back positive. Those staff people are now in quarantine. Protect yourself.
Could you please help us all… ?
where were you ?
what country ? area or town ?
how long ago ?
What has happened to that patient ?
is this virus just a bad flu that is dangerous for people with weak compromised immune system ?
or is it worse than that ?
Thanx
@Bassplayer Marty Treat your environment like you would a basic influenza. Wash hands, stay out of crowds, wear masks, curb travel. In doc office what is first thing people do? Sign in, grab a magazine. Don’t do that. Filthiest reading material second only to library books. Although my public library actually washes books, everyday, all day. Local teens looking for volunteer points get sent to library to was books.

check back in 2015 in The North Carolina University a scientist by the Name Ralph Baroc in a lab: tampered with the SARS virus. He used a mouse and a species of a Chinese bat. They added an extra protein molecule creating a spike which enables it to act like a key to target the ACE 2 receptors.
This is the link for the mutation from animal to human.
The ACE 2 receptors are found in humans in the gut and heart.
People might also remember the Ebola out break in the Congo (Africa)
They cross barriers that should NEVER be crossed. These are both man made. These mutations have been going on for decades. As you are in the medical field you would be aware the lymphatic system in a health person takes 3-4 days to produce antigens to fight diseases. Mean while this virus has had a head start to target the tissue which is most suitable been in this case the Gut and the heart tissue. This new strain has a double punch. First it hits the lungs but it’s real target are the tissues of the gut and heart.
hiding waiting to take advantage of a persons weakened condition.
Viruses NEVER leave the body they harbour and wait. Here is the bleeding that will occur where these ACE 2 receptors are.
What’s its incubation period who knows we are in uncharted territory.
Also back in 2015 that lab: had 2 Scientists from China working there they sent back the LIVE virus to China. They were caught out and deported. ( Also lab: shut down for breaching boundaries)
These 2 scientists ( husband and wife team work for the Chinese government while in America and when they went back)
were working in the lab: close to where the 1st patient was diagnosed.
Listed among the infected were a high number of scientists… did they continue the mutations????
In my opinion I’d allow a 48 day incubation period. It appears to be a ticking time bomb in the body.
This virus appears far from having reached its real purpose.
How did we get so many mutations of the Hep: B virus!!!!!
The question we should ask how did a hygiene issue Hep:A mutate and form Hep:B. Didn’t we try and produce an antigen, vaccine could this be the reason how it become a blood issue. We then produce a vaccine for Hep:B only to have a further mutation, Hep:C.
It appears we are creating Diseases not curing them based on the evidence. We have mutated forms of virus and diseases.
Why pass all the defence mechanisms of the body and go via the skin directly into the muscle , the body will always be behind trying to play catch-up. We have forgotten the basics of how the body functions and tried to control the out comes which is impossible as a Petrie Dish in a controlled environment is VERY different to the human body. It will vary from person to person.
“Heckuva job, Brownie…”
Puttentane Same Rhymes with heckuva job Fauci! 😆🦠🦠🤦♀️🤬
Why on Earth would anyone put The VP who has no medical experience, and Azar who also has no medical background, in charge of the Task Force? Azar was head of Lilly USA and led the large increase in prices for the American people. He is a speaker regarding influenza pandemics… he knows that this has a high potential (not guarantee, but potential) to explode. He has yet to stand up for science. Why no medical experts?
Pence doesn’t believe in science at all. Start with this: he does not think smoking causes cancer.
The only one there , afaik, in that group who has real institutional value and knowledge is Anthony Fauci who has been at the NIH since the 80s.
Because you cannot control the narrative with “experts” blurting out the truth! You need yes men to report directly to the POTUS so they can conspire to control and personally gain in the Pharmaceutical production etc!
Let me guess… we are talking about TRUMP THE impeached AND HIS fall GUY Pence HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!~
“…has told an awful lot of untruths…” An easier way to say that is, He’s a liar!
I know you don’t mean that !
“It’s going to require measured, capable leadership that respects the science.”
In other words, we’re f_cked.
No more than we have been since the all knowing scientist AOC said the earth is ending in, I think we have 10 years left before we all die. So why should anyone care about a virus…
No one else could have said it better.
Morwyn Wordnerd I say send you to China on a one way trip! That’s where you belong
Brenda Biffi Baldovino yeah yeah…wait till it hits your homeless population, whose health is already compromised. It’ll be like throwing a match on dry brush with gasoline on it…..California is a failing state..thanks to morons like you.
The least competent government on the planet. It’s disgraceful.
“Administration.”
@Ed G Exactly.
“It’s going to require capable measured leadership that respects the science” Trump and Pence?? I need a drink
