Trump Admin Bungling Overshadows Crucial Coronavirus Advice: AP | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
How’s that lawsuit coming?
When was this posted? Surgeon General said in press conference yesterday for elder people not to travel/get on a plane
@musiclover9361 according to Prince Adam, he does!! Right at the moment he points his sword to Castle Grayskull he proclaims…

proof!!
@Freedom & Liberty Bot People get confused and scared when catastrophes like this occurs. Clear. factual directions are required in order to not create chaos and panic. Especially nowadays when there are so many myths and halftruths floating around on social media. The reason why the emergency exits in buildings will light up in bright green is not because people are too stupid to know that you should try to get away from e.g. a fire inside a room, it’s because people in a crisis situation won’t always think rationally and it’s easy to become disoriented and forget the things you’ve learned.
@Jeff Holden One big reason why there aren’t more reported cases of infection is that testing hasn’t really been done on a large scale. There could be tens of thousands who has the disease but only a mild variant so they haven’t been properly diagnosed. And the disease is currently spreading. I don’t think we’ve reached the climax yet, in a long shot. Scientists estimate that 40-70 % of the world population might get infected before this is over. It’s not that a crazy number, since about 13 % of the world’s population gets infected by the seasonal flu each year.
@Florida is not Detroit That sounds a bit racist, Florida is worse than Detroit.
@Johan Nilsson One thing I’m neither confused or scared, I tend to research things, I have very little faith in our news media, in fact our wonderful media has about an 8 to 10% approval rating. At one time I would watch the evening news, but notice something ,you could change the channel from NBC, CBS and ABC and have the same story on all 3 at the same time, have not watched evening news in over 5 years, as for social media I don’t really do it, no Face Book, Twitter or whatever else is out there, I do YouTube.
Soooo let me get this straight. If they are literally quarantining people for having this virus. You have the knowledge that older people are dying from it, and you still want to get on a plane and travel then you may need to let natural selection take you out. 😂🤣😂🤣😂 common sense is a beyotch.
Some people will still travel because they think it’s safe. I canceled my Cruise to Mexico and the grand Cayman Islands,Cozumel Mexico, money doesn’t replace my life.

Natural Selection, what a beautiful thing.
@Frances Lavorgna if you are young and healthy with no underlying diseases you are in no danger
The “administration” also refused the original test kits that were distributed by the WHO (World Health Organization) back in January. But nobody’s talking about that.
Don Scrilla and russia just stomped 35 percent of the oil production from shale. Check mate for Putin
Lindsay McCoy Wat!!!!
@Patrick Weaver The WHO didn’t send any test kits, they advised tRump to get test kits out there, but tRump refused at that time, he waited two more months before he couldn’t wait any longer. The memo from WHO was printed in NYT by Maggie Haberman, the memo had nothing to do with the bad test kits, was just important info that was ignored. The bad test kits were the test kits rushed out after tRump finally told the CDC to do something 2 months later. The test were rushed, they had to pull them.
@Bec Thumma I never claimed the WHO sent out test kits. Stop believing the NYT they’re pushing a narrative. The ONLY kits available at that time were faulty. Also the WHO has been bought off by the CCP. Look into it deeper.
This is to suppress the voting cause chaos just like the caravans from Mexico that is why it is only him and the vp taking charge stay woke there is a God above peace and love
What? You mean to tell me that there is a virus out there and the best thing to do to avoid is not travel? And that the virus hits the elderly and the weak the hardest?
@Zeit Geist Ahhhh………another Generational—-Ignorant—-Dingling—-Dingle-berry intending on Ignorantly + Retardedly + Stubbornly Argue to the Bitter—-End……..
There are tons and tons of the Elderly people that are in good—-normal health , but NOT Freakishly Healthy……..like Bill—-Gates / Clint—-Eastwood / Older—-But—-Healthy—-Celebrities + Politicians + Citizens and they DON’T have to Worry About Being Automatically PRONE To Contracting Corona / Covid–19 , Like You Ignorantly + Retardedly Claimed……….
She’s lying! How stupid can she be? She’s proven to be a liar just two hours later! It’s almost like the White House feeds false information just to her to make her look like a fool

You do like exceptions to the rule, don’t you!!!! The former only proves the latter.
anne-marie Andrews
If I remember correctly the last virus was not a pandemic. This one is.

I just love your command of the symbol keys. You really know how to use them to make up for your lack of vocabulary. There’s a thing called “emojis” which I’m sure grade-school morons like you would love. You see, they allow you to skip words altogether and go straight with ape-like reactions.
shouldn’t we just know not to travel when theres a virus
Jeff Gleason yes, so what percentage of our population is over 80 with an underlying health condition? This is the group that should be concerned. Not the entire population like the News would like you to believe.
Ratso thank you SOMEONE HAS LOGIC
this head is not fit for radio let alone tv
There is always a virus thats the thing…
@Eric S Who?
Jeezus, i wait unto someone freaks out that he has never been advised by the gov. to breathe.
Sometimes, people simply have to use their brains. That ‘avoiding crowds’ potentially could mean avoid being locked into an aluminum tube with 200 other people, that is a no brainer.
@Robert Evans if you’re looking for guidance, and you’re looking to get it from this woman, I would highly suggest a different source. There’s a reason why MSNBC is dead last in the ratings.
@Iced7769 faux snooze is worse go and do the exact opposite of what the CDC tells you shake hands cough all over people wipe your runny nose all over your arm don’t wash your hands after you use the bathroom go ahead and contaminate others as well as yourself cause other people sickness because you call the Coronavirus a hoax because trump is incredibly Delusional and has Delusion of Grandeur he truly thinks he knows more than Doctors: he is an ignorant illiterate M-O-R-O-N he knows nothing about this Virus and yet he is causing more health hazards from his inept and ignorance… You go right ahead and follow faux snooze and allow them to educate you because after all a blonde blue eyed big titted airhead knows more than the CDC.. And the Health Dept….
@Iced7769 Perhaps reading is a skill that you share with your president. Reread my post and see if you can understand the clear message I intended.
@Marcus Guzman you assume I watch fox. Nice try. I don’t subscribe to cable. Try again sheep.
@Robert Evans your mrssage was pretty clear, as was the butthurt you were obviously suffering from. Or was that senility 😆 Get over it. Both of you probably need to get used to another four years with Trump, Because if Biden is the best the democrats have to offer it’s over. Joe Biden will be lucky if he knows where he’s at, what day it is, and what he’s doing once the debates start. Unless of course you’re a Bernie supporter. In which case, Bernie and his wife are probably already working full time on how to funnel all of your campaign contributions into off shore accounts when he takes another dive. Either way all you two can hope for is to hold onto the house… And that’s not likely to happen either. Have a great day and remember to change your depends before bed 😆😆😆😆😆
It’s like telling the town’s people in “Jaws” that it’s safe to swim in shark infested waters.

@E J: “you don’t test 330 million people just cause and some very sick people will choose not to be tested.”
It is not a matter of some very sick people ‘choosing’ not to be tested. The government refused proven testing kits for a very long time, preferring the one developed by the CDC – which didn’t actually work. Further, many people have no health insurance and so are reticent about approaching a doctor. That’s not ‘choosing’; that’s recognition.
remember in jaws the politician didn’t listen to the professionals and people got bit and killed. just saying.

Are you deaf and stupid? Must be, sucks to be you.
Watched press conferences. It was said. I believe by Pence
No, I will not download Raid: shadow legends, Jesus Christ.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My ears must have been deceiving me last night as I listened to the White house briefing, where it was recommended that people with challenged immune systems not fly or go on cruises.
How dare you be informed!
The Saud that the house “didnt want to”…… not that they didn’t tell after some convincing.
I love Rachel Maddow!
Maddow is lying! How stupid can she be? She’s proven to be a liar just two hours later! It’s almost like the White House feeds false information just to her to make her look like a fool
Isn’t this how the same virus spreak in China, where it started? When the Chinese govt gagged scientists from sounding the alarm early on. Even threatened them with arrest & loss of job.
TRUMP should isolate himself and not fly on Air force one.
Nah maybe his plane will. Fall in to a HA club house 😄
Our dear leader says that the COVID-19 outbreak is all a HOAX!
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” — George Orwell, “1984”
This is a key pillar of the trump agenda widely abetted by powerful GOP politicians whose thirst for power manifests a new reality of an emerging authoritative political system.

Those were the days, when commdeians still were the ones to say such lines, weren’t they?
Wait, this ridiculous show hasn’t been cancelled yet? Lol, ok.
One can only hope that “hand shakes” and “conjugal hello’s” are a thing of the past.
So you’re telling people not to go into Shrek’s Swamp – Got it.
Can’t say “Old people shouldn’t get on airplanes”, ‘cos that would preclude most of the Trump administration.
The only thing that can cure Rachel Maddow’s face is more cow bell.
