Rachel Maddow remarks on South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster's "home or work" order, which is not as strict as a stay-at-home order and allows several major loopholes that weaken the effectiveness of the order at preventing the spread of coronavirus in his state. Aired on 4/6/20.

South Carolina Governor Issues Weak 'Home Or Work' COVID-19 Order | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
South Carolina, you should be ashamed of this governor!
@Troll Destroyer right. It was too many big words in the video for chunky. Next time, Ms. Maddow should probably create a vocab. list to go along with her videos to help struggling listeners lol 😉
Troll Destroyer You’ve not lived up to the implication of your namesake..I never suggested the possession of any qualification. Simply, you’re triggered.
And to the smug Lekena Ackerman…typical emotive attempt at humiliation. My vocab. is sufficient
@chunkybuttz I didn’t attempt. I was insulting. Now that we have that straight, you have yet to add anything substantial to the conversation. If you do not agree with what she is saying, why are you watching it? Most of the citizens of SC agree with what she has said. He is a weak governor and the response has been atrocious. Because you have had nothing substantial to add to the conversation, it is my analysis that you did not grasp her point. Pity… they do make children’s news shows that start at the basic level for people like you. Start there, and then return to the grown ups table when you can keep up.💯
lekena ackerman I’m going to skip the opportunity to eviscerate not only your argument style, but each other point besides the most obvious: “most Sc residents agree” ?
Apparently the term Presupposition isn’t included in your extensive vocabulary
@chunkybuttz so, there is nothing really wrong with my style. You fire shots, I shoot back. 🤷🏿♀️
As far as SC is concerned, I live here. Everyone here has had an issue with the way McMasters have handled this situation. And they still do. Many educators, parents, and students are in limbo because of the lack of leadership in SC. That is also fact. Of course, like anything else, you will have the ones on the outside of that bubble. But I can assure you that the number of those are very slim.
When I make claims, you can be assured that I do my research or I have at least followed the stories closely before speaking. Next…😏
Knowingly sending citizens in harm’s way is a massacre. A crime against humanity.
Strangely that is EXACTLY what DEMOCRAT governors have been doing!!!
@Fact Checker really?
Let us look at Indiana and Tennessee red states led by Republicans
And then Red state Kentucky led by a Democrat
Guess the numbers imbecile
The word is ‘TREASONOUS’.
I wonder why Russia would interfere in American elections to place Donald Trump in office? If you wanted to attack the American people (civilian and military) what better way than to put a MOLE in the office. Utilize Sun Tzu’s philosophy from the ‘Art of War’ wherein to TAKE NO ACTION IS AN ACTION.
To allow the spread of a viral pathogen, with full knowledge from the best military and civilian intelligence agencies in the world, to create divisiveness in a time of crisis, to ALLOW it to happen.
We are under attack my fellow Americans. The methodologies are well known. At this time of crisis, it would behoove every American to read and discuss the text of the
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
A powerful, worthy document.
trueconsumer6 🦠🦠🦠 Our debt from China should be cleared in full and this government will lie to you and send you to work knowing full well the virus is everywhere and they don’t care if you get the 🦠 or not 🦠🦠🦠🦠
This is something to remember… how cavalier some red states have been with people’s lives.
@Bigfat Pauly Or he could have started the process in December or January as he was fully aware of what was likely going to happen but he’d rather sort out a way to profit from it for his family and friends. No thought about you at all.
@Bigfat Pauly uhhh please do us all a favor and self quarantine back in your double wide.
@Bigfat Pauly trump ordered quarantine
You mean when he only stopped chinese coming from China but Americans were magically not infected. Two weeks after initial infections were reported
Or how about his travel ban from Europe when he has people packed like sardines in terminals
How about his shipping 18 tons of PPE to China on February 7th and did not replace
Your stupidity is astounding
I blame your mothee
@Margaret Nicol yes they did and they are as Blue as the sky!
wel1968 what an ignorant statement
You should stay indoors, unless you’re outdoors… Excellent 😭
Gunners Lok — Is every “indoors” your home or work?
@Steven Hershberger – you have to stay home unless you’re recreating? You know what recreating is right? And visiting family? Like 90 year old grandmas and cousins in the next county? And you think this is OK? Wow. You must really hate the people in that State.
Sounds legit.
Full English — Did you respond to the wrong comment?
50.000 packed park concert is outdoor recreating…
irresponsible governor
prefers you spread covid19 🤷♀️

So basically it is just saying that you can do anything.
Sicklady — From the California Department of Parks and Recreation COVID-19 Resource Center: https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=30350
*What Is Open in Our Parks*
_With the exception of closed parks, non-campground outdoor areas of parks, including trails and beaches, remain open. Day-use restrooms also remain open, and visitors are advise to bring soap for handwashing and to use alcohol-based sanitizers when water is not available._
As you can see, while some are closed completely, many (actually a huge majority) of California state parks are still open to the public. They’ve closed parking lots and banned camping across the state, but you can still walk in to hike, surf, picnic, or whatever. You’re clearly only reading tweets and have no idea what you’re talking about.
Troll Destroyer — See reply above.
thewanderandhiscomp — Thanks.
The police have already said that they can’t stop people because of the recreational clause that is in place.Can only fine business that is breaking guidlines. People out on the roads would use the excuse that they would be visiting family exercising grocery shopping. Traffic is as usual . Still the same as it was before the virus.

South Carolina will vote him back in because he’s a “strong CEO”
Murica incorporated. Fascism is in the air….
Hard to feel sorry for morons voting in morons.
@Lead Therapy yeah right. All you an*l holes say the same sh*t. You all have nice homes, nice cars, make six figures a year and married to a supermodel. In reality all of you live in trailer parks, work at popeyes and your wives are gaped tooth meth smoking hicks. Nice try inbred.
@Neil H.G. nope I don’t have a nice car, I dont make six figures and I’m not married
@Lead Therapy sure.👍
Well he wasn’t voted for he was next up after Haley signed up for ambassador which she is no longer
@Lead Therapy Florida huh?!…that explains a lot
The governer should spend a week tagging n bagging !
Or lick a handrail.
The under reporting is getting more egregious. The Pennsylvania Department of “Health” told a nursing and rehabilitation facility on Thursday that they can quit reporting COVID-19 cases, because after reporting 19 cases of the virus, the health department will just assume that all 750 patients and staff are positive. Our state statistics do not reflect this assumed reality. Shameful and overt dishonesty!
They are treating all residents as if they’re infected due to the fact some infected are asymptomatic. Better safe than sorry.

@Jay Ess
So don’t test & remove the uninfected?
AYFKM?
@Jay Ess It might make sense quarantine and isolationwise in extreme conditions – but it is really f**king inportant that the actual reporting is as accurate as possible. Those numbers are the science we base treatment and mitigation efforts by!
In other words “I’m not really doing anything that matters. As long as it doesn’t affect me or my career best of luck to ya.”
Please, someone out there. Explain to me what is happening in our country. How is it that these are our leaders? Tears are rolling down my face. I am tired.
@Orange County 714 Yet still they lead. Or should at least. Which makes them leaders.
@Shin Unless you _actually lead,_ you’re no leader. Leader is a function, not a title. Gotta earn it through practicing it.
Ok here’s the truth (not saying it’s right or wrong but why). I had a crazy job in the military, have had some research jobs and currently work as an engineer so I’m probably as qualified to make up an answer as any politician:
1. Population Density – Some areas like SC are lower in population, so they would issue a stay at home order far later (NY city alone has 65 times more cases than the whole state of SC right now). There’s a huge lag so their wave of illness will come in 4-8 weeks and get very bad. This virus will cycle through large cities quickly and still be working its way through rural areas into the Fall, if not 2021. It makes sense that different states would react differently. Otherwise, we’re all just staying home for 2 weeks and delaying the spread of a mass virus onset by 2 weeks.
2. Economics – Economics must be accounted for. Millions of Americans rely on an economy chugging along – orphans, the homeless, shelters, soup kitchens – all currently under strain as no donations/funds come in and all activity grinds to a halt. This creates further illness and problems as everyone hoards supplies and money. Long enough without people in work and infrastructure will begin to deplete and fail (Example: you’re only still at home because people are still working, supplying the stores, and you able to get what you need – for now).
3. Percentages – 50 million people die a year (about 1 million a week) on our planet. We’re just desensitized to the deaths from cancer, car wrecks, etc. So is the virus really a drop in the bucket yet? Not really. Could it be? If we aren’t careful. From Jan 1 to Apr 1 (25% of the year) the virus is responsible for .0014% of deaths to occur this year. Not saying it wont get out of hand, but right now, 35 out of 1000 are getting sick and 14 out of 10,000 are passing away. Yet it is indeed wrecking the economy and may put millions in debt, out of business or in a homeless situation. It’s a roll of the dice.
4. Politics – lying has been a science since the dawn of man. When to, how to, what about, for what reason and in what areas. Communists are masters of disinformation and Democracy’s are masters of repression. It’s a common way to deal with problems. You do this with your husband if you overspent a little on something you maybe both agreed should be discussed. You do this with your wife when a girl gives you eyes and you don’t mention it because you don’t want to start trouble. You do this with your kids when the Oreo’s actually do still exist and are hiding to meet you later after bed time. You do this when you make a stupid mistake and you’ve learned your lesson but really don’t want to have to explain to your parents.
5. Magnitude – their scale is out of balance. You see fraud as a politician taking a kick back, not a policeman giving his kid a ride because it’s cool. Both are morally wrong and rob the tax payers. We (the common person) take little shortcuts, take advantage of little things every day. We print personal things at work on 3 sheets of paper, we talk our way out of ticket when we were caught dead to rights, we take that extra piece or part when we could really allow someone else to have it. It’s all the same, it’s just their world is on such a larger scale, we see the little shortcut as a horrific crime. The scale of their problems and the issues of the people become more misaligned with the population as it grows.
The leaders are a reflection of the people. How many of us even know the difference between a virus and a bacterium? We are illiterate.
@pr0xZen 🤦♂️
Bunch of clowns running the show while the ring leader trump saying ” He’s only back up “. Whole of US is literally a circus. If anything , all those deaths are on them.
Tommy Lim
And on those who voted for these crooks or did not vote at all. America had it comin’, so to speak.
the democrats are a circus
@Have a nice Dave While the republicans perform a bad reality show. Touche’!
https://youtu.be/ZCyqcoC747o
So essentially nothing changes in South Carolina. Business as usual.
Well just look at their most notorious Lindsey Graham not to mention others. Jim clyburn did manage to turn out okay however. Must be a republican thing.
Freedom just keeps getting in the way of the plan.
The governor needs to go to prison.
Poor leadership will take millions of US lives.
“Do whatever you want, but don’t spread an invisible virus that you may have.” Who voted for these leaders???
Leaders??? I say they are not…unless leading us in the wrong direction is desirable. God bless the day TRUMPFOOOOON is out of office.
South Carolina voters.
Idiots.
@Matthew J. R’amour Let’s be more specific. South Carolina Republicans. They are pretty much synonymous at this point though…
This dude has no idea what he’s talking about
