Trump Rebukes CDC Director’s Remarks On Importance Of Masks | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Putin wants Americans dead, Trump delivers.
@Walt Schmidt You seem to be one of those brain-dead Trump acolytes. Here is a NEWSFLASH for you:
This would all be over by now if Trump and his acolytes (you crazy believers in what Trump and Fox News spew) had simply allowed the USA to follow the guidelines provided by WHO, Dr. Fauci, NIH and CDC to protect their fellow Americans rather than calling it a hoax and politicizing something as simple as wearing a mask.
As an example of a country that responded quickly, and implemented WHO guidelines take a look at Japan:
> they declared a partial state of emergency on April 7th and began implementing a country wide plan in accordance with WHO guidelines.
And what did the Japanese do?
They:
> wore MASKS,
> closed schools,
> staggered commute times on public transport during peak hour times,
> limited crowd sizes at public gathering and at some entertainment venues.
Note:Japan never shut down the nation, and most of its clubs and restaurants remained busy.
> In mid May they were able to lift the partial state of emergency in all but 8 prefectures.
> Their economy is doing OK, businesses are back up and schools are open.
And here are the numbers for Japan as of, 9/11/2020:
> Confirmed COVID-19 Cases = 73,901
> Confirmed COVID-19 Deaths = 1,412
BTW – the population of Japan is roughly 130,000,000; or roughly 40 % of USA
But the Japanese cases represent only 100(73,901/6,494,981) = 1.13 % of USA’s
and
the Japanese deaths represent only 100(1,412/195,017) = 0.72 % of USA’s
In other words if the USA had responded as quickly and implemented WHO guidelines, as Japan did, our cases and deaths would more closely be on the order of:
> Deaths in USA if responded quickly – – -> 3,584
> Cases in USA if responded quickly – – -> 187,595
If you are are not up to date on the number of deaths we have in the USA, as of 9/11/2020, and are wondering how many excess deaths we have had due to the denial and delay of Trump and his incompetent administration here are the numbers for you:
Excess deaths of Americans due to Trump’s denials and delays = 195,017 – 3,584 = 191,433
and
Excess cases in US due to Trump’s denials and delays = 6,494,981 – 187,595 = 6,307,386
Trump, his incompetent administration and his brain-dead followers (like you) have caused the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans!
@Ovidiu Zambrean Actually scientists don’t know the origin of the Spanish Flu. France, Britain and China have been suspected as well as America. The first known case in the U.S. was a military base in Kansas.. But it doesn’t prove it originated there…
@reitereschle Came from China and Trump is getting re-elected…
@A F so true !!
@Borvo so true … THE REPCRAP PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID !!!
Trump : everyone is liar except PUTIN and his is extremely powerful in his defense.

@Richard Barry Moron!!!!!!
Richard Barry – So, which one is it..? Is the media corporate controlled, or is it a mouthpiece for the “socialist” Democrats?
Trump has to be the most selfish person I have ever heard. This guy is a psychopath.
@princeoftidds in what way? Ivanka with her pushing Criminal Justice Reform? yeah Joe Biden did put a lot of black and white and Hispanic Americans in prison for marijuana which he believed should still be a Category 2 illegal drug
@princeoftidds the media didn’t tell you that one? they want to keep you brainwashed

@Richard Barry let me ask you did 190,000 plus and growing Americans die because of this fiasco? Keep trying. You are about 0.0007 percent of the way to number of Americans that have died on Donnie’s watch. Can’t wait till after the election which Biden will win and you get your morals and indignant self righteousness back. It has been on hold for four years.
@The Blade so you think Joe Biden ? would have much lower numbers I don’t think so I know so why ?because first off he doesn’t even know where he is half the time? And for many years Joe Biden has had relationship with China along with his son Hunter who made a billion dollar deal which made Hunter a multi-millionaire of course you and Democrats look away when it comes to anything Joe Biden? because anything negative said about him you believe is a personal attack against you..
The ENTIRE world has closed its borders for Americans!
Trump’s non-response to the virus made the US the paria of the world. It’s NOT a ‘’success story’’!
@Johnny Martinez He is lol
@Jeffrey Dahmer Nothing you say can deflect from Donald Trump being responsible for killing almost 200,000 Americans.

He arranged someone attend school for him.
Trumps Daddy bought Trump a diploma but forgot about making him work at his education. Possibly the dumbest leader in the world.
I can not tell a lie “George Washington “

I can not tell the difference “Trump supporters “

A “Loser” is someone who supported Trump in 2016. A “Sucker” is someone who still does.
@American Patriot they’re so stupid they think it’s Grassroots that a pile of bricks just shows up on a sidewalk prior to a riot

@Julius D. Fcknutz III – Why did you run away?
Now Doony it is your voters that are getting sick.
Especially since he crams them shoulder to shoulder inside with no masks for Rallies. Meanwhile, hes tested before and after the rally. Hes not very smart, is he?
Lol I can’t believe Trump is saying something like this 😂
💚🌹
Saying what lie? Hard to choose. Stay safe healthy and vote blue! Zebba, take a very cold shower and find a close safe friend…vote after!
He does, he really does!
@C R Vote red!
Whenever you see someone without a mask assume they’re a likely transmitter.
I try to stay away from people, especially if there wearing a MAGA hat.
If you see a Maga hat and no mask your in danger if you get to close.
You can safely assume any anti masker is a moron
When I see someone with a mask I know they missed 6th grade
YUP ! I go out of my way to GET as FAR AWAY as possible !

So this is the president “for all”!
He doesn’t think so,
He’s working for Putin.
NO…just mega-rich, old white men & RUSSIANS who let him borrow money OR give him money so they can have their twisted ways made law.
THAT IS THE WAY A DICTATOR WORKS…..questions??? I didn’t think so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@vincent james He is NOT!
