They lie to you:

Well it was getting controlled but people got 2 have their freedom we just had to wait a month or two till the disease died out now those miserable two months were for nothing and we will again shutdown with less money in our pockets
@KB Peters I can’t even tell if you’ve picked a side. You’re all over the place. My friend’s mom is dying of Covid19 today. That’s kinda direct.

Royal Palms I’m am so sorry. Wishing her and your friend and you very best wishes.
Well if you all slowed the testing down this wouldn’t happen! (Sarcasm)
@LA Lakers “I don’t get why Trump wants to waste all that money on a wall. ” I _know_ , right? I mean, *who* wants to illegally or LEGALLY wants to enter the United States at this time anyhow? At least President Trump did keep one promise: stop all immigration, legal or otherwise. (Good Job Mr. President)
(sarcasm)
@Cool Beans I fail to see the logic here. Will you also berate him for sleeping? For eating? If you think hospital personnel can go 24/7 without food and rest, you clearly have no idea how humans work. Just because he has chosen to spend his time off shift to speak to reporters does not make him a liar.
Scared Snowflake ❄️ 👆. I’m vacationing and spending my money enjoying life. Helping the economy. While the snowflakes live in fear
@Dave Waldon “I’m vacationing and spending my money enjoying life. Helping the economy. While the snowflakes live in fear”
People are dying. Your cavalier attitude is simply immoral. “enjoying life”, indeed. You should be ashamed of yourself.

New Jersey Democrats Charged with Mail-In Voter Fraud
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/06/28/new-jersey-democrats-charged-mail-in-voter-fraud/
I don’t say anything. I just wish to everyone have good health and good luck.
@Andrew Marete but it’s not your freedom to infect others. if you infect someone by not wearing a mask or not social distancing and that person dies you should be charge for murder.
BEWARE “TRUMP” WANTS INS. GONE’ HE WANTS A SPREAD! GID BLESS THOSE THAT TRUST HIM!
U2 😊
Thank you, and good health and good luck to you too.
That is fine and good but remember “Evil thrives when good people do nothing “
This is absolutely frightening and how this administration can cut back on testing is just disgusting 🧐😷
Trump wants us to die
@krom dr birx is a joke..any doctor that sits by silently while someone..even the president tells ppl to inject themselves with disinfectant needs to lose their medical license..her oath is ‘first do no harm’..do you know how many ppl called poison control center after their God trump told them that? 1000s…some just to ask about it..some actually DID it..just like the couple that drank fish tank cleaner bc it had chloroquine in it..another useless but deadly treatment trump pushed and Birx said nothing..
@Janet Airlines why bc animals tested positive? Well..ummm it originated in a bat soooo..dogs have tested positive too..one died..5 Siberian tigers tested positive..so what’s your point.doesnt make it fraudulent
That’s another media lie. The government has not cut back on testing.
But Trump n his fools get tested every day
Not long ago people were commenting that Covid-19 was only affecting Blue States.
The virus was a Democrat issue and red states should be allowed the freedom denied them by democrats
I haven’t heard from them recently, but good luck with your newfound freedom
@Xxx YZ China treated the virus as a joke. Trump did get lied to, like the world did, by China. You blame the world and not China? Explain how it is not China’s fault when China destroyed evidence and left open airports to infect the world?
ya like Ontario is doing so great not
@foreigner fan Are people really as dense as you are, with such short memories of what has been happening? Back in April there were Indians online laughing at what is happening in the USA, and scoffing when I said just wait, your turn will come next. Guess what, now they’re like *gulp* getting royally f*cked by the virus.
Sit tights. You can say all you want about certain places having “more death”, NY, democrat areas etc. Oh don’t worry, everyone will get their turn. Be smug while you can. Can’t believe you could be so dumb. Not high enough in the red state areas for you yet? Just wait. It’ll wipe that smirk off your face in due time. Mark my words.
If they’re trump voters just hand them a body bag and point to the meat wagons.
problem solved.
@Cindy Brewer That is sad news.Ventilators are no joke.
I’m in Houston….smh Prayers going up. My family is at home and it’s driving me crazy but at least I know I am keep me and my children as safe as possible right now.
Shannon Colitis <<~ triggered “ crazy “ person
Wouldn’t worry too much about the kids. All studies have shown children almost never contract the virus or even spread it. The very reason schools should open in the fall.
Snowflake. I’m vacationing and spending my money enjoying life. Helping the economy. While the snowflakes live in fear
Continue to do your part. Encourage others to be safe too. Don’t know what else you can do. Believe me it’s only the beginning for you guys.
you are sensible n a responsible …well done…
_”Look, we are dealing with a lawless president. He’s unraveling. He’s impulsive. He doesn’t respect the Constitution. He’s getting us in dangerous ground.”_ – *Four Star General Barry R. McCaffery, US Army, Retired.*
@Jester Avrgjoe We talking about covid-19..ok
Basically, Generals such as McCaffery and Mattis are pawns to the military/industrial complex and are butthurt Trump hasn’t continued the endless Mideast wars they so love. The left is willingly blind to that as long as they attack Trump.
Even if Obama did spy on the Trump campaign I think it speaks for itself why he may of had serious concerns ,the whole Trump thing is a absolute sh@t show, theres a reason why Trump went bankrupt how many times
@Jester Avrgjoe Damn, you paid trolls are like clockwork coming in here and whatabouting Obama all the time. This isn’t about Obama. This is about the miserable failure that is the Trump administration. I get that your job is to distract people from the present by bringing up past accusations. I get that your job is to bring up horrible lies in order to get people talking about that instead of what’s right in front of them. It’s just so fucking sad you are willing to do this. What happened to you?
@Caine Meyers There is no “even if Obama did spy.” He didn’t. Those are more false accusations from Trump, who has been making false accusations about Obama since Obama’s first term. You give an inch, and the trolls will take a mile. Don’t whitewash the lies for them.
*FACT:* Electing Trump president has been a _DISASTER_ for the United States.
@Judy Ives like Italy, France, Spain and UK? Get out of here. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Always blaming Trump like he’s your father. This is mostly each state fault and how you don’t realize it just make you look like complete fools. This is a foreigner telling you how your American system works. What a joke you liberals are. No shame not knowing your system, always blaming GOP.
@Juliana Fotin He kept downplaying the seriousness of the situation. Let me remind you of all the statements he has made which demonstrate this; “This will go away without a vaccine,” “I asked my staff to stop testing,” and on and on. You Trump**ds are all the same. There’s plenty of proof now of how badly he’s done his job and you all are still defending him, incredible and unreal. But, your support for him is deeper than that. It’s your hateful, racist and discriminatory predisposition what moves you. And, you’ll go to the greatest extreme with this agenda. The US is doomed.
The left: TrUmP CaUSed CoVId
@KB Peters Excellent! 👍
@Juliana Fotin don’t bother them with common sense
Republicans: This is a good time to cut back on healthcare.
Trump fans: MAGA
@Kris Brooks You have got that right Kris. How can people continue to fall for this made up crap. Maybe the hospital needs more CARES ACT money. I wish more people would see through this cruel hoax and find out what it is really all about.
@Marcus Wardle I’ll give you just one example of Veritas not having to selectively edit. Recall the one a few months ago with the bernie bros threatening to burn things down. Sure has been a lot of arson the last few weeks. And don’t try and deflect and blame only black lies matter and antifa, you know damn well there are bernie bros torching property along side of those two groups.
@Kris Brooks do you understand the word pandemic?? BTW links to the citizens reported empty beds etc.
*rich trash doesn’t care*
I wonder how many of these people were at bars and restaurants within the past two weeks?
@The Creekside Killer Just being lucky!
Where are u at?
@The Creekside Killer ‘All healthy’ is subjective! How many in the hospital, how many ill, how many died??
Just because you live in your own bubble, it doesn’t mean there are no COVID-19 cases in your city or state!
@The Creekside Killer Classic Narcissistic comment and way of thinking right there.
Riots?
@soylentdean looting extravaganzas
This is overwhelming and to think they’re thinking of opening up schools in August here in Florida. Stress and anxiety its affecting my health.
@MamaSaurus Then you are very very very stupid.
Studies show kids up to 15 yr can not infect elderly people.
Kids don’t die on this virus.
Here in Holland not a single kid died on this virus, only a baby who had serious hartproblems.
@MamaSaurus Hey big mama, do you know how big a virus is?
Did he just say that Black people are more affected because they hug more and don’t practice social distancing?? Medical racism is real wow.
Masks deprive oxygen and cause stress. Live your life. Don’t be a covard.
Marisol, seek professional help don’t be ashamed. It’s affecting more people than you may realize
F the stock market it’s only for the corporations and the wealthy
American Steele
Care to research how many Americans have stocks and shares…? I’ll give you a little while..
@Cat Tracks with 80npercent asymptomatic and 99 percent recovery rate ure comment sounds more like left wing hysteria and not rooted in the reality.
@Greg debree And what, donate all the money to BLM?
You bring even more chaos and disorder to the streets and society at large, that is why right now is exactly the wrong time to defund the police and the military.
Not only we are facing threats from overseas, but we added one more type of crazies from inside.
Before we only had to watch Neo-Nazi threat, now we have to deal with ultra-left that occupied the top positions of BLM and transferred it into neo-Marxist “revolutionary” movement.
SCREW THE CORONA VIRUS, IT ONLY AFFECTS THE SENIORS AND THE POOR!!! ” MIKE JOSEPH THAT IS HOW BOZO YOU SOUND!!!!
The medical front liners are working hard for their residents while some of the politicians are MIA. Not right.
some? they are all going on recess while the country dies.
James Lythgoe…LOL … the virus is fake!!!! Want Proof … just ask!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Vwtroy troy 1- they have reason for every bad feeling- leader is plain stupid & incompetent, blocking every bill he doesn’t have personal interest
2- They both work just don’t put on fu king panel like Trump. They trying to bring incompetent scared Republicans to work on important decision but can’t if greedy selfish Republicans BLOCK EVERY TRY.
DO WATCH CONGRESS AND DEBATE ( when is available, not just FOX)
@Amy Shew Be careful, people who do not wear a mask can shoot you if you confront them. Many of them do not care about humans.
these people are amazing please keep them healthy and safe
They are being sacrificed for the economy as the governor ordered.
@The BizzMoneyB – No! This is ALL because of China and the WHO who lied. Trump took early action and the head of the WHO insinuated that Trump was a racist and xenophobe. He then went on to say that Trump’s early action was excessive and not necessary because COVID-19 was difficult to transmit. NOT TRUMP’S FAULT. Wake up sheeple!
@Angela Carter – Wrong, you George Soros shill!
its also another way of VOTER SUPPRESSION
Too bad that the incubation timeline matches up with the protests and riots not the reopenings T. S.
They also match up location wise too.
@Fleur Bandito they are totally being sacrificed
Too many people not wearing mask, and didn’t take the disease seriously
Ignorance is bliss !!!
@John DiGiacomo I’m from NYC too
My brother contracted covid on March 8. He was in the hospital for 2 months. He still does not have his full breathing capacity yet. Please don’t take risks. This virus is no joke.
Tennis Bum, I’m 68, and my girlfriend is 69, with heart disease and lung problems. I don’t take chances. I lost a friend in knew from kindergarten, and two other friends list siblings. I know it’s no joke, the people I lost weren’t careless, just unlucky. Watching these morons thinking it’s a joke just enraged me. They act like because they aren’t afraid for themselves they don’t have to have any courtesy for everyone else. They’re nothing but petulant five year olds “I wanna, I wanna”and don’t care about anyone else.
@John DiGiacomo
\ 🗽// *Supporting wearing of masks*
D-BO 842 maybe 1% mortality rate when hospitals aren’t full. What will the death rate climb to as hospitals are overrun and ICU beds are full?
” Have common sense ” how dare you suggest that off the American people.
@Leonel Ventura I’m one of the only liberals living in a deep red state. Family and friends, everyone I know but it for Trump last time. They’re not crazy. They are frustrated. What I do know, which gives me hope, is that none of them are voting for him this time.
@Cropper Copper electrical college, a trade school was in on this whole thing. Trump 2020 and this time he will win with the electoral vote.
MAGA MAGA MAGA y’all dumb ain’t no one telling me and my Grandpapi what to do……damn citi folks with their sushi and toefu 👨🌾👨🌾👨🌾
Cropper Copper What are you talking about??? Here I had faith that in your ability to use Google…guess your the crazie…https://youtu.be/BjqYXTwel1M
@Cropper Copper What I am doing right now is trying to get Americans to forget party issues long enough to realize we need to work together or we are going to go down hard and I hope that people will listen to both sides and decide from the facts and not opinions. I do not judge people or races as a whole I deal with people on am individual basis. but thanks you for responding in a civil manner I will not try to change your views on who you like, but I am only asking for the sake of the nation that you look at what your hearing and is it what Jesus teaches us? We all have strayed and we need to come together to get back. I do not see this administration as good, but I knew that from before I voted for him. I only did it because I knew he was bad and would stir up the house and senate.
Why did wearing a mask and social distancing become partisan?
I just dont get it. America is just stupid
Trump
TRUMP!
@Eminsomethingthatisntem Are you insane? Trump did more than many countries. He certainly did more than my country Canada who are led by a bunch of Liberal pedophiles.
Did fox or trump talk about the empty hospitals? Has either one whistleblowed that ventilators are killing people? Yet we get lumped in with trumptards.
And where is trump?
Hiding in his bunker, tweeting garbage, and refusing to control the pandemic!
@RFI-Crypto Lab Ask Trump about being in a bunker ! Biden does not have to say much. Napoleon Bonaparte said ” Never interrupt an enemy when they are destroying themselves” ….carry on disenfectant Donnie, you’re doing a great job ( after you’ve got the OK what to say from best buddy Putin)
Biden has denounced Trump’s lack luster response. What else can Biden do?
@soylentdean So , you must think President Trump has acted really badly in reacting to covid 19….so much so that you want the Democrats to do the job for him. You will get your wish come November
@soylentdean oh he’s actually taking this seriously with small meetings wearing facemasks and socal distancing, unlike the dumbass in cheese
Where’s brain dead Biden ?
The sad thing is that so many potential patients think this is all fake. Amazing.
@Rick James5678 the thing that nervous me is the fact it messes up your breathing a lot. I don’t feel that with the flu but yea the flu is crappy to have
@Fleur Bandito so what hospitals are being overwhelmed by those other causes? Exactly. I think you need to consider the possibility that you’re an idiot.
@Rick James5678 What hospital do you work at?
@Rick James5678
Is it time to look at numbers and not percentages?
Do you realize, that more people may die of a heart attack, stroke, or other acute illness due to a lack of resuscitation. Some fools explain, that the covid is a scam, because hospitals are empty and medical staff have been laid off. Don’t you have any logical thinking ability? No- emergency surgeries have been canceled and ER wards have been partially or completely closed, as people have been at home due to quarantine and accidents have been reduced. Urgent, non-covid cases are concentrated in designated hospitals or wards. If a doctor or nurse is treating covid patients, he or she should not treat ordinary patients without a couple of weeks of quarantine. That is, for other cases, there must be different staff and fully isolated wards or hospitals and staff, who do not care for covid patients. What if a big accident happens and clean care facilities are urgently needed and with absolutely healthy medical staff?
Do you already have statistics on how many “recovered” from the disease have received a chronic sequelae? Every sensible TV channel has doctors telling cases and advising.
Asymptomatic carriers of the diseases walk through the streets, shops, workplaces, bars, clubs, swimming pools, beaches, etc. without a mask and do not follow instructions, because they imagine they are healthy. And so the disease spreads. Are you absolutely sure, that as asymptomatic, you will not suffer from any sequelae etc.? Even doctors do not yet know the consequences of the disease or even certain immunity. New things have been learned about Covid all the time and it has been learned to take better care of. Hospital stays have shortened, but I guess you have statistics on how long hospital stays are on average for covid non-ICU patients and how long it takes to recover?
Did it make sense to open jobs and other places, if no precautions are taken? A couple of weeks of work, and after the disease has spread again, jobs closed. Not asymptomatic people are two weeks of quarantine, sick workers and customers at home, or in the hospital. Covery of sick workers may take 3 weeks to 3 months, depending on the course of the disease, some die some are no longer able to work.
Selfish idiots, who believe in conspiracy theories and do not listen to scientists and doctors have caused this current situation. You had time to learn from the experiences of other countries and NY. There were too few tests (and still are) and not all are reliable. If you had taken the matter seriously, when you only had 15 cases and if all the citizens returning home from abroad had been immediately quarantined for two weeks, your situation would be quite different. Ask the recovered, how many consider covid to be just the flu.
You didn’t seem to even watch the video? Do you often have a habit of burying your head in the sand?
So many think the new world order is fake. You people are threats to humanity.
Must be his imagination. According to Trump it was only “The Flu” and it magically disappeared back in April.
@KY Robb it’s disturbing. And people who I would considered intelligent. They’re really making that consideration questionable.
It magically disappeared for the leftard Burn Loot Murder riots. What are we supposed to think? If one side doesn’t take it seriously the other side will have to follow suit. This doesn’t take a Phd. to figure out.
@Tim Apple so, let me get this straight, there are actual ppl who believe, Italy, Iran, UK, Spain, India and Brazil etc all have united to make Trump look bad?
Wow, sorry for your family, but some ppl really have no sense of perspective.
@Tim Apple Not only the flu but it is part of the New World Order to get rid of as many people as possibly. The smaller amount of people is better to control isn’t that right Bill Gates and the so called doctor who advises the world about the pandemic.
