    1. @Agolf Twittler he did say he wanted to be remembered in the history books for something lmbo

    2. @Alex Mojarro Well, mission acomplished.
      The corrupted tub of rancid lard will indeed be remembered.

    3. And yet it democrats in democrat districts that are dying. 80% of the deaths NYC are in districts that hillary won with 79% of the vote. Not seeing a problem here. You should have drank the lysol skippy.

    4. @Agolf Twittler he was right stupid. The mortality rate is lower than seasonal flu. Have you been sleeping. 637,000 die from heart disease every year, but i love the selctive outrage.

    5. Trump can’t be re elected he’s impeached and when’s he’s done playing president then he’ll be indicted

    1. @cesare bacchelli its clear the extent of your education is from Netflix pandemic movies.

    2. @Don Williams 28k of 10 million NY population have died. The virus hasn’t peaked in other states. Will get back here after a month.

    3. darth_vader how many of those 28k in NY actually died from something else but it was just thrown into CORONA? Seems NYC and a 50 mile radius is who should have to stay home. Di Blasio, Cuomo are to blame for that mess.

    1. @Andrew Campbell Another day!! You really think your petty, crass comments affect me? There is nothing you can say that will offend me, all you liberals are the same and I know just how to handle you ” snowflake” 😄. Unlike you I was truthful, I LITERALLY had better things to do!! Do the same..ok? And since you love having the last word I look forward to your msg… nice chat😁

  1. I give Texas a month and when bodies drop, they will have shutdown longer. Some of these states have more deaths than some countries out there.

    1. @Goose Step the media absolutely talks about the risk being greater for older folks. Do you not realize that young folks can take it to older folks? Do you not also realize that younger people are dying ? Omigosh you keep people can’t be this dumb… maybe you’re purposely being obtuse? I just don’t get it… you can deny that the virus is serious all you want, but that’s not going to stop the virus.

    2. serious you are correct , much like the common cold or the flu young people can bring Covid-19 to older folks! That said, do you understand that this virus is here to stay and there is no getting rid of it. So is the answer, to come up with long term safety protocols and practices to protect the must vulnerable while opening up society OR do we shut down society until the economy collapse and everyone is severely depressed and suicidal? If your answer is to shut down you are insane! Life must continue people need to work to sustain or livelihoods. Stop being a fear monger! If you want life to end just end your own. Don’t force others to live your misery!

    3. @bridgettedenise jokes on you… I am not a Democrat or Republican and have no faith in either party. I just know right from wrong

    4. @Goose Step why does a shutdown have to bring the economy to a halt? Don’t you understand that Americans pay billions and trillions of dollars in the form of taxes? You don’t think the government could use that to take care of their people for a few months until this thing died down a bit? Have we seriously learned nothing from South Korea, and Italy? I don’t understand the rush to open up the economy… Protesters should be protesting the government withholding taxpayer funds and putting people’s lives in danger , that’s the real travesty and that’s the only reason why the economy is crashing. America is more than capable enough of taking care of people while we wait for this thing to reduce. Of course I know it’s going to be with us, but recklessly reopening the country is a worse idea then you I can imagine. I’ve worked in a hospital… You have no idea what this thing is capable of. So you can say I’m fear fear-mongering, but until you seen the true suffering that this virus brings, you really needs to be humble.

    1. Republicans are immune to the virus because they drank their bleach and inhaled their disinfectant.

    2. @Albert Nothnagel im guessing your are waiting to get injected with a toxic Vaccine which contain disenfectants

    3. @William H Music 2020 what does that have to do with y’all being stupid? Oh, I guess you kind of answered that question with your comment.

    1. @Martin Balber I wish you well in your struggle through life, suffering such handicaps means it must be a challenge for you.

    2. @Richard Christie how did you come to your comclusion sweetypie ? How did you discern anything from my comments ? Asshat

    3. @Martin Balber I don’t engage when I encounter Stupid as it is pointless, I only offer sympathies. As you exhibited gross stupidity, I offer my sympathies, again.

    4. @Richard Christie do facts confuse you stupid ? Why dont you share one of your facts ? This should be funny.

    1. @charles harper -hey, if they wanna MAGA then who are we to stop them eh? Once they’ve gotten sick and died, America will be a little bit greater. Turn ’em loose on each other.

    2. @AugustWest
      Donny Dumpster and his MAGAts should put their money where their mouths re and hold some big rallies…

  2. Stupid childish people thinking they’ll be the only ones there. Didn’t think ahead as to where you would get your food, not to mention the nasty beach bathrooms.

      I would think one is to many, of any age. Is death that hohum to you❓❓❓

      What are you thinking, if it was your 27 year old would you be saying or feeling that way❓ only one 27 year old. Your head and heart are as messed up as the impeached * trump covidiot virus.
      Pathetic.
      I’m never going to see my cousins I grew up with again. It hurts. My aunts and uncles are devastated.

      If you should die of covid would you want people to say just one lady died. ❓❓❓❓

      Good lord your ignorant, we are all ready in a recession.

      Unemployment soars up, and the stock market is crashed. Do you know basic economics ❓❓

      Source: Bloomberg Economics
      The recession probability model developed by Bloomberg economists Eliza Winger, Yelena Shulyatyeva, Andrew Husby and Carl Riccadonna incorporates a range of data spanning economic conditions, financial markets and gauges of underlying stress.

      The surge in the recession probability mainly reflects the shocking jobless claims figures, but plummeting stock prices for much of the month also played a role. The model’s reading on the odds for February came in at 33%. At the time of the prior report, Bloomberg Economics took account of early financial market data for March, putting the odds at 53%.

      My respect for Cats meow is more then I would ever give you. You insist on using your ignorance and not any real based facts, just parroting other ignorant people and no real facts to even look up. Opinions are not debatable, only facts.

    4. Cats Meow
      Thanks Cats Meow for the chuckle. 😂😂😂😂😂
      Prayed for
      Prayers for you and yours keep safe and healthy . 💖🌸🙏

    1. Ironically one thing that helps your body fight off cold and respiritory viruses is vitamin D, so putting on sunblock is making you even less able to fight off the virus.

    2. The best part kids is most of the beach combers are democrats, or should I say WERE Democrats.

  3. As a native Texan all I can say is “you can’t fix stupid” and I hope people do the right thing – keep your distance, wear masks or cloth face covering, wash your hands and stay safe.

    1. @Rui Silva I can tell you are brainwashed by the media since 99.5% of deaths are due to underlying conditions. The media will take that 0.5% of deaths of “healthy” people and make gullible people like you believe it is extremely risky for healthy people. Smdh. Me and a local cashier were just explaining how the media brainwashes people and reading your comment just confirms the stupidity.

    1. @Brian S Just so I’m understanding you correctly…I need to do some “non-biased research” with the “hundreds of videos” but you cant link one?

    2. @FalseCast I gave you the names of channels and people to look up. If your education has failed you so horribly that you can’t use a basic search function, then I’m not sure what to tell you bud.

    3. @Brian S
      _”I gave you the names of channels and people to look up”_
      In your edited post recommending right-wing crackpots?

    4. Idiots demand the Greatest Depression in American history. But, no worries. The government cares about you and will definitely not let you starve to death.

    5. @Gemin_Ice first of all to have intellectual conversation you have to know how to read. I said New York City not New York State. What about Michigan, Massachusetts, New Jersey they have more death than Sweden by each state by themselves.

  4. Remember in November when the death toll skyrockets in the next months it was all because of the Republicans’ impatience and states’ lack of support from Failed Trump.

    1. @Debra Wilhite oh my bad here it is 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾

    2. @Djoseph11230 Let it go there buddy! But since you’re still rude and ignorant. 🖕 you 2

    1. @Moe Snert biden raisin cookie
      trump raisin waterfall. which one do you really want.

    1. @zu0832 Apparently you’re a learned Darwin fan, but generically, he is most known for his survival of the fittest, and I’m talking genetic predisposition and making right choices, not engaging in philosophical discourse or the impropriety of war between haves and have nots.

    2. @Mike Marder my point is perhaps there might be a misinterpretation of Darwin…conveniently used to justify one’s self interest.

    3. @Mike Marder conspiracy as in depopulating the world?
      It’s called GREED and and I gave just a few of the examples

    4. But the stupid infect the smart so many more pay for the stupid than only the stupid

    1. And I thought I was the only one pointing at Darwin for this current reduction of mouthbreathers.

    2. Teresa Lisa Caleb stupid or smart They have a good chance of surviving the virus even if they get it. Providing they are not elderly or have pre-existing conditions.

    3. You idiots should read George Orwell 1984 because that is what you are asking for. You insane people!

    1. @Google Name Exactly. But all these fools can think about is “orange man bad”, while cheering for a demented, hair sniffing pedophile….

    2. Tracy Gun’z Yep, the comment by 2184t applies to you:
      ‘Ignorance can be cured, stupidity is terminal’. You are a sheep in your own way. You do not think for yourself.

    3. @Okosch Edino Thank God some people in the comments still got enough common sense to do non-biased research outside of the news. I’m beyond sick and tired of these idiots cheering this crap on. We should remember who these people were if and when we ever get out of this.

  5. Stupidity and Ignorance is more dangerous than the virus itself.

    1. @Mel B Go to the CDC website, the official death toll has been cleaved in half to correct the record.

    2. Oh well, we don’t all crave for the same thing, but people can’t be locked out/i.e. in for ages, what I SEE, that beach is social distancing alright. Just forget about fear, media especially, wrong approach imo, you are proving zero balls by defying every rule either, everyone’s tattoo of the year should rather be, “Live responsibly!”.

    3. There is no proof staying home save lives look at Sweden they have no lockown and yet they have less death than New York City by themselves. All it did was ruin the economy and turn U.S. into chaos.

  6. “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”
    ― Albert Einstein
