Top Doctor Is Calling For A National Quarantine | Morning Joe | MSNBC
It’s about time Trump was quarantined for the public’s health.
@Bethany Udonome wow you are a triggered young foul mouthed witch and a loser to boot. go away b-tch-what do you do. nothing zero. a empire how old are you, I know what you have done to help. nothing
@Bethany Udonome o you lie a lot when you right stuff. but you know that don’t you
@Death To Ming! What are you spreading?
@David Goldman why would i lie? I love the truth. Which part exactly are you avoiding me if lying about? And why exactly do you feel the need to try to call me a liar? I always assume when people try to accuse others, it’s bc they’re guilty themselves. Also, be careful with your spelling. Words matter, now. If you’re up to the minute on the news you’d KNOW Cuomo just said that.
@Bethany Udonome you might re read your letter yourself. second line makes no sense—try to accuse should be when people accuse. how old are you?????
Lock trump and his administration up immediately for the health of the world…seriously
@Tiago Jordão These trump obsessed fans just don’t get it yet but they will and will be too late.
Please. The 4 leaders of your party have been in Congress for 40+ years. Meanwhile two months after outbreak they’re focused on a bogus impeachment. Get real. It’s your party that needs to go. You ppl are pathetic for never calling those sobs out
it’s not. He responded while the Dems partied trying to impeach, unaware of anything going on so Dems dropped the ball big time.
Globalist
When trump is no longer sitting president ( Nov 3d) charges need to be leveled against him for negligible homicide. His dishonesty about the virus and its severity have gotten American citizens sick, leading to certain people’s deaths.
For any Republicans who still adores the ground trump wallows on, he is INTENTIONALLY calling covid 19 the Chinese Virus. He’s been told not to a dozen times but he’s a petulant child whos being defiant in using it. Why should you care? How could it poss be racist?
When the news broke everyone called it Wuhan or Chinese to inform ppl where it started. No prob right? Now, we know that INNOCENT Asian American citizens are being harassed, recieving death threats & being assaulted, because they’re Asian & frightened ppl are taking the viral threat out on them.
Hitler anyone ? People being targeted bc of their ethnicity…… imagine if you were an American in China & a virus came from the US. and you got vandalized or hurt because you’re an American.
One might ask how l can say trump is stirring the racist pot ( to distract Americans from his screw ups, as usual it’s his mo) his speech in the rose garden was televised. CNN & other news agencies got a shot (over his shoulder) of trump’s prepared speech laying on the podium.
In black marker the ONLY change made, crossed out Corona virus & written above it was Chinese virus. Couldn’t be more intentionally racist if he tried.
To trump, there are more of us than you think and we are ALL watching you. Karma now wears knee high, black leather stiletto boots. 🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲
“Test, test, test!”
Should have said it explicitly, 2 months back.
@Patrick XX In December our US Intel agencies briefed Trump that this was happening in Wuhan district of China and that it was being covered up; they recommended an immediate travel ban from China and other places but Trump scoffed and an estimated 250,000 people from China came here on Visas, some obviously brought the virus unwittingly.
REALLY TELL THAT TO TRUMPSHIT AND HIS SWAMPS.
@flugsven Trump: The testing kits should be made in USA!
Zhengyang Cai Also, the Kushners are involved somehow. Not at all lethal corruption. Not at all. 😬
edit: it sounds like a fitting name on the movie about Trump. 💥Lethal Corruption💥
They did
Two choices: Do something now or wait for one more week. Trump will wait. He is too stupid to understand this choice. Look on what Nunes said: As stupid as his boss.
@mark tito sure go ahead we dont underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers you fit right in
The liberal media is panic mongering this country into a financial collapse! We need a man like Joe Stalin to appear and take control. When the Nazi’s were 10 miles outside of the city limits of Moscow, there were people who were spreading panic in Moscow and that panic was undermining the efforts of the citizens of Moscow to defend the city. Stalin gave an order that anyone who was spreading defeatism or fear mongering should be EXECUTED by firing squad immediately! NOw that is how you run a country.
mark tito give a good reason why trump should be elected again
@Borvo thanks for the recitation of “actual” facts as a reminder of the timeline for the rest of us. However, you do realize that all of us are completely wasting our time by ascribing intelligence to MAGAot pukes like Michigan Wolverine, David Primeau, Mark Tito, etc.? I often respond too out of an old fashion (pre-tRump) sense that reasoned conversation is the way thoughtful people resolve differences, but I have come to realize that the only way to deal with these ignorant, racist, xenophobic wastes of human skin is to win at the ballot box in November then wait for them to take to the streets with their “oh, look at me! I’m a tough guy…I have a GUN!” and let the REAL military take them down for good. ANYBODY who still supports tRump after all of the traitorous things he has done is CLEARLY beyond redemption and undeserving of reaping the benefits of our great country. To pretend otherwise is simply wishful thinking and plays completely into Putin’s hands.
@mark tito Seems like you’ve been letting morons guide you on all of your important decisions for a while, chump.

@Washademoak Trashcan Man can’t be far behind.
@Chris P. Bacon
Lol, that’s my nickname for Rudy Giuliani ever since I heard that Bolton said he was going to “blow us all up”
Hard to believe that with those glasses of his Stephen King had 2020 vision.
Great book, first thing I thought of when this all first came out.
@R L T
That’s a cool name. If I ever write a James Bond novel, can I use that as a character name? (Sorry, it’s not sinister enough to be the villain.)
Assume everyone has the virus and act accordingly.
Kay Sharkey If everybody had done that from the beginning we would be golden.
Bob Singh that assumption would be your best bet, so stay away from me.
Snuk Wavey are you joking? If not, then the jokes falls flat on you. Stay safe.
Randall James always, unless you’re monogamous, but not because of Covid19. If you are close enough to consider condoms, then Coronavirus exposure has already transpired. Really tough to wear an N95 mask throughout the events.😇
Angelika Hemker 👍
We are at least a month behind Italy. At least they have been TESTING! whereas US is still struggling to get the tests to be conducted.
@Snuk Wavey your epic stupidity is biblical in it’s scope. COVID 19 is NOT a common cold, it’s a respiratory illness, it will choke you to death fool!
@Good Day Over 5K cases.
@Deborah Freedman , I just checked, 5709, here it comes!!!
@Good Day till today Italy did tests only to people with symptoms and it did about 150.000 tests, about 13.000 each day
We’re more like 10-14 days behind Italy
In other words, don’t buy the talking point that if a person doesn’t have a fever, nothing to worry about.
Asymptomatic carriers can be super spreaders.
We also must remember that medications can mask a fever. Even if someone has one it may not show up if they have taken medication. Remember this when we look at airports and temperature checks. Keep your immune systems strong by rest, eating healthy, and stay at home as much as possible. Wash your hands.
Stress is tough on us. Please it also suppresses your immune response. Dont take all and buy out the store …think of others and take only what you need. Pray for all and remember where are help comes from.
@Angelika Hemker Thanks again for the info, Angelika. I will check out your link and do a little research. I am really curious about the super spreaders (and whether they exist). Either way, I think the US (where I’m at) is going to be a horror show in a couple weeks. I hope I’m wrong – but I don’t think I am. Isn’t this whole situation bizarre? My whole life (and I’m sure I’m old enough to at least be your mother), I worried about some kind of world-wide calamity. I think this is it and after we get through this, we’ll probably be into a major climate / ecological disaster. But, I’m obviously good at catastrophizing – hopefully I’m wrong. All the best to you. Stay safe. 💞
Walking assassins .
Like smallpox and the native Americans . Europeans walking assassins .
Repugnant can’t seem to grasp this concept smdh!
Stay home, time to do spring cleaning, get to know your kids!!!!! Play with them! Go for walks! Watch Netflix!
My golden retriever is overjoyed that I am home all day.
And get evicted 2 weeks later. At least you’ll be nice and thin.
The babies would be called Coronials.

Quarantine and chill! 😏
“Many more will die”? ten’s of thousands already die needlessly because they can not afford health care, get rid of the chump in charge and replace him with an adult.
Ms. Drake, I dealt with insurance from both sides of the fence. I worked for an insurance company and trained for the license, before I decided it wasn’t for me. I also ran a business for forty years, on the other side of the fence. So if you’re a professional, you know that my assessment is accurate. Venturing a guess, I would think your expertise is in medical billing.
I am an academic, but in medicine I worked in nursing and then clinical administration – patient care, research and quality assurance
And I researched these things through many years, as well as having firsthand experience. I also notice you do not dispute my facts. This discussion is over.
@John DiGiacomo good luck
@John DiGiacomo democracy is dangerous, representative republic does not allow for mob rule 51 to 49 . the founding fathers warned about democracy, you have your little facts and figures, you write your little term papers, you think govt is efficient, omg you are stupid as a rock. you are the smartest guy in world in your on mind. what is the greatest reason for proverty-out of wedlock births, cannot fix that with free health care, why should college be free, getting degrees in music appreciation etc, or other useless degrees, half of the kids going to college have no business there, should be in trade schools-maybe Harvard which you love to quote, should use there 2 billion dollar trust funds to lower tuitions, and on and on and on. life is not fair and you or know one else can make it fair
The “greatest healthcare system in the world”. Let’s just drop this moniker because it is wrong. It is horribly wrong. Gouging underinsured people for years and you don’t have enough equipment because instead of investing in stockpiles of emergency equipment and medicine America has diverted this money to rich CEOs and big pharma.
Biden claims Italy is suffering because of single payer. If Italy did not single payer, there would be more deaths. How is the U.S handling the situation without single payer? She can even test adequately!
It’s great if you’re rich.
@Dwayne Rex the best doctors are not even from the USA you have the best specialists in the USA WORKING THERE BECAUSE OF THE PAY. The majority of the top neurosurgeons at john hospinks are from elsewhere.
A a con in cheif taking and taking and taking the U.S. and his scummy followers whi still believe. Must have been born a disease
@SuLebo215 there’s no money in healthy people. Fluoride in water, Gmo foods, chemtrails. The whole system of satanic agenda depopulation.
trump has led Americans off the edge of a cliff, an we’re fixing to hit bottom.
Was much worse. 60 million contracted it, 13,000 in the US died, Obama let that happen, let over 1000 die before he did 1 thing to try to stop it. That’s leadership!
thehojo15 you’re precisely the kind of person whose going to get your entire community sick. Wash your hands at least before you hug your parents you weirdo.
@thehojo15 You are so weird! You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth. First, you say COVID-19 is not a thing. Next, you say, so what if it’s a thing – Obama did worse. You and your kind’s neurotic obsession with Obama and weird compulsion to protect Trump are all signs of one thing…you are part of a CULT! Or, you’re a Russian bot. Go wash your hands and don’t touch anyone, dang weirdo.
Right
Yup! RFID CHIPS n no dip!!!
I wish someone will tell my job this information
Tayshawn Holland they know, they care about money more than your life
Tayshawn Holland ✨❤️✨
Sorry
sue them
Remember: 45* refused WHO test kits which would have saved countless lives. All because of his radical and lunatic American isolationism; something which hasn’t been politically viable in a global world for centuries.
Says an uneducated liberal
Not what he said, learn to read or comprehend

@thehojo15 baaa…baaa….what a good little , little sheep you are..didnt that branding hurt ?…thats right , it was only your soul
Fake news. WHO never offered the US test kits https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/us-coronavirus-test/
Let’s pray for all our drs, nurses and medical personnel
@Paulus Heebink God bless you. Be safe
Do they all have the same religion?
No let’s add those working in restaurants too. Nobody seems to get we have to literally handle stuff from customers with no PPE AT ALL. Because they refuse to Completely shut down. Workers coming in sick because their not allowed to call in. We have it just as bad.except nobody let’s us self quarantine cuz we can’t get tested to prove we’ve been infected.
Yeah…that’ll work.
Thank you! And we’ll pray for you, too.
“The tests are in the mail.”

@Randall James congrats 😀
Pathetic Pense
So is his brain cells
@Randall James 😅🤣😂 good for you
Pathetic !
Remember how the GOP administration “handled” this crisis when you vote in 2020!
I’m afraid they are planning not to vote in 2020 with the excuse of the coronavirus
Yup. Trump, Trump, Trump!
@thehojo15 trump for prison.
YES please do! Then think about how Biden would have handled it.
@ig8083 indeed! Think how anyone else semi-competent would have handled it! Can we just put Biden in now?
We should have gone on mandatory quarantine a month ago for AT LEAST two weeks. Now we need a mandatory quarantine of 4-6 weeks. The Orange Menace and his henchmen are incompetent and totally out of their depth. It’s going to get nasty.
@Persian Lion With the exception of China, Iran (Persia) will soon–or already has–surpassed every other country on earth for its mishandling of the Sars2 virus epidemic. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, eh?
Persian Lion
No Americans don’t hug and kiss on the cheeks
Romeoleus than you should be able to see this nonsense if you’re an “independent voter”. But since you can’t see it you are most certainly biased. Don’t worry. A ton of radical leftist honestly think they’re independent. It’s part of the TDS
For those of you who are uninformed, your governors make the decisions about quarantines, etc. – NOT the federal government.
@J Bell Hello. I have NEVER been a member of a political party. I also have a doctoral degree and 40+ years of research in medical virology. Please try and educate yourself about those you attack before you do so.
We’re driving blind because Trump rejected the WHO tests, plain and simple
The real reason as stated ” Trump dismantled Global Health Organization that was set up Obama Admin. during Ebola therefore last yr. the Virus was detected in January 6 LTRS. from Health warned Trump about outbreak & should start Preparing! Trump have distance are allies in which we could have received Tests Kits (fyi America Import Majority of Products). I was in DC 2 wks ago Rare Disease Patient Advocate Lobbyist & Spk with FDA CDC NIH America not prepared for outbreak as ALL other Countries!
WHAT??? TRUMP SAID HE SCORES HIMSELF 10 OUT OF 10!!
@Dianna Campbell thank you for this important info. So glad you are a survivor!
This is fake news
@Sara Drake shut up clown
There should’ve been a national quarantine long, long ago
There doesn’t need to be a national quarantine. It is the big cities that are impacted for the most part. People outside cities are minimally affected. Quarantine only where necessary. There is plenty of social distance between farms.
