U.S. Is Headed In 'Wrong Direction' With Virus, Says Doctor | Morning Joe | MSNBC
alot of people i know keep talking about “the vaccine” as if that is right around the corner i keep reminding them that despite AIDS being around for more then 35 years we still don’t have a vaccine for that so there is no way to be sure we’ll get a vaccine soon
Very true
@Dave Schultz They say nothing about long term effect of the virus either.
@Constituent A that is not true…all flu vaccines are made with dead virus…….
@Ellen Casteel If the virus was dead, your body would not make the antibodies to fight it.
@howdareyou41 they will be scared of a vaccine while vaping, eating junk/fast food daily, boozing too much,doing opiates etc
*We’re going in the wrong direction… Gee, ya think?!?*
It is my genuine fear that some American cities are going to see what battlefield triage looks like, up close and personal.
They aren’t going to like it.
All way
Covid19: Trump just cancelled all future trips to Florida & Texas
Gop allows the virus to go unchecked by trump , gop is the only ones that could of stopped the virus trump
@Jude Jackson hypocritical
@carolyn bridgeman thanks…😊
Even the Republican convention? Nope.
Just wait five minutes. When the next wave of insecurity hits, when he’s not feeling “loved” enough by a big enough crowd, he’ll head straight for either a rally or Mar-A-Lago.
Trump cares more about protecting monuments of dead racist while dodging the war on Corona.
@Ellen Casteel Then you disagree with BLM. They want to also remove Washington, Roosevelt, Lincoln, Cervantes (former slave himself, but he was white so that does not count apparently) etc.
@LUIS VELEZ For example, compare the death rate graphs of US, UK, Italy they are almost identical.
@Donna Santiago Is it frustrating when the facts do not fit your narrative?
@Andrew S Those countries tested a higher
% of their populations . so the math is biased for the USA where only a fraction of the population was tested .. nice try .. you need to read the whole study not the parts that you want ..
@Viganch0 no more idol worshiping .
US is in this for a long haul. If only folks had listened to Trump and injected themselves with bleach…*sigh*
@allabout perspective
Ohhhhhhh, I didn’t know he said disinfectants. Everyone kept saying bleach bleach bleach, and I see the video of disinfectant in context now. Still no *bleach* video though. Looks like he never said that.
Glad the lie has been cleared up. False information in media is a pet peeve of mine.
Thank you for your help. Don’t forget to vote Joe Biden in November and drain the *real* swamp ❤💛💚💙💜👍
Oh and BLM ! ✊
@Robert Andrews Trump said something stupid (well raised children are taught cleaning products are dangerous ) , and he made it worse by trying to spin his way out of it by telling an reporter I was sarcastic to you (the reporter wasn’t even there when he said it. He was brainstorming in public making a fool out of himself.
@N A Sounds like you don’t know bleach is a disinfectant. lol
@N A Well Trump claims he wants the best of the best and Lysol orbleach are the best disinfectants lol , so I think that’s why people keep on saying bleach or Lysol.even thoug Trump never named Lysol or bleach just disinfectants .
@Robert Andrews Bleach IS a disinfectant…….
The FDA Commissioner’s job is to tell the truth to the AMERICAN PEOPLE NOT worry about if Trump will be tweeting about him!!
@Lin Palumbo I check it every day against the UK Gov data. The UK numbers are accurate.
@Leroy Gibbs Is is frustrating when the facts do not fit your narrative? You trust mainstream media more that factual data. Good luck with that.
Declining to comment is the diplomatic way of saying same.
@Peter Scheen they will be gone: AG Barr, Pompeo, Kellyanne, Giuliani, Betsy De Vos, Ben Carson, etc. etc. all gone gone gone.
CDC for June was still calling about 1/2 the deaths occuring Pneumonia,
separate from COVID-19 deaths
Yet flu season ends in May
To have over 1,000 deaths weekly from pneumonia in June makes no sense.
Doctors are lazy,
and not enough testing,
So easier to just classify as Pneumonia and write a quick death certificate without the delays that COVID-19 causes.
Trump sounds like he is drunk or on downers
@The Ropes of Renovation wtf. are you 12?
@carolyn bridgeman lol. Get over it.
@The Ropes of Renovation lol maybe you should try a downer
And he is sniffing again…….
I would say Both.
Is there something wrong with the dictator neck? He doesn’t turn his head.
Doctors are trying to figure Trump out!! It is his brain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_UPXjOm1hA&list=RD80ejAqLSMmg&index=27
It’s how they had the teleprompter set up.
When they shellac’d his wig they sometimes get overspray in rough conditions.
😅😅😅😅😅
This is NOT a 2nd wave!! It is still the first, it has never gone down enough or long enough to consitute a 2nd wave. America never got it close to under control.
Judy Ives Scotland feels the same as Canada – we see a country south of our border controlled by an incompetent corrupt government, doing the wrong thing and increasing the infection. At least Canada can close its borders. Scotland cannot keep the infection coming in from the south.
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2247462-scotland-could-eliminate-the-coronavirus-if-it-werent-for-england/
@Trixy Felix hmm have you tried closing your border? Australia will see it’s final state border close from midnight tonight so as to contain the spread of the virus. 2 states have had a shared, open border throughout, with one state leader adamant the borders should stay open, to the point that now the state with the infection has had to make the call & say the border needs to be closed to protect NSW from Victoria’s infection. Is there really a reason you can’t close the border there for virus control purposes? & if not, can you put road blocks just inside your country, all along the border? It makes SUCH a difference to the ease of controlling the virus, as you already suspect/understand
@Trixy Felix Reading that article, I’m thinking a Qld/NSW type border restriction would probably work well. That border has a 14 day quarantine, with permits available to cross without the quarantine, used mostly for people who live on one side of the border & work on the other side. Everyone needs a permit to cross, but some permits require filling in the details of where you will be quarantining for 14 days after crossing, that police can use for spotchecks, while others give ongoing back/forward crossing permission with no quarantine required
Lilac Lizard unfortunately the Scottish devolved government has only limited powers – we can’t actually close our border or even regulate it. We can impose some rules on areas of Scotland (such as our recent outbreak in Dumfries on the border – caused by tourists crossing into Scotland from the south).
At least we’ve been able to control most of our NHS and handling of Covid.
I think it’s inevitable that Scotland will take full independence from England. I think Wales and Northern Ireland will too.
Nice to hear from Canada – I’ve a cousin in Ontario:)
Virus has mutated. It’s now forming tiny blood clots which can effect all the organs in the body.
With all due respect to my American friends, I cannot believe that you actually went out and celebrated the 4th of July…. Are you TRYING to get sick???
I drove to a park where the nearest person was 20 feet.
LOL I hope it didn’t take you this long to figure it out there are people in Alabama throwing CORONAVIRUS PARTIES they most certainly are trying to get sick
I stayed home and enjoyed the fireworks on World of Warcraft…true social distancing and still enjoying fireworks with the pixel crowd. Lol
Yep, they sure are. Dear Leader told them the virus that has killed over 150,000 Americans and counting was a Hoax, and they were dumb enough to believe him.
No need to offer respect to people that selfishly choose going out, getting drunk and eating hotdogs over staying alive.
The ugliest face of all thinks 99% are safe, if that 99% goes and infect another 99%, hardly sounds safe.
Yeah it’s so safe, which is why nobody but Melania gets within 30 yards of Trump.
Lots of people believe this & don’t care about the people that will die
The Mayor of Austin, Tx just said he does not have testing, both Congress and the Senate approved 140 BILLION For testing and tracing
It the money went to the White House and trump has not used it saying: “we don’t need testing.” He fired the OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE! Where is the money???
I think Pompeo spent it on lavish dinner parties.
Into a doggie-bag for Trumputin’s family, so they can escape to an island with no extradition treaty with the U.S.
@Terrier Queen Rikers Island
Must call it the “Trump Virus” US – most world cases.
@N A WuDON flu
Covid 45,
Trump Flu.
The Fox Pox.
The Chinese Sneeze
@N A Nope…TRUMP VIRUS!!!!
trump flu
99% of Trumps brain cells are completely useless
be leary of the 1% it might repoduced.
I did not think he had either a brain or a heart!
Benedict Donald is the definition of “the wrong direction”. Make America sicker again!
I’d also wager that he’s making a profit from all this which will come out in the wash eventually.
Good one
What is wrong with people. Stupidity to go out unnecessarily, put up with all the BS coming from A TREASONOUS POTUS. He failed to lead thru the virus, put his interests before American and now sucks Putins …. And some dunces still follow him, the Grand Old Party. Great job. Making NIXON look like a hero and at least he knew when to resign
@Linda Wilson The only 2 words you had to write were “HE FAILED”.
More like sick still!
No matter how many people get sick and die, the Orange Sphincter will continue to move the needle and say he’s doing a fantastic job because the numbers aren’t ten times what they are at that particular moment. Duh, house pets and plant life are smart enough to see through that!
The FDA Commissioner dances around the issue ,concerned more about his job than telling the truth to the America public which is why he was haired in the first place.
He was not haired. I know it was a typo, but a funny mistake considering his hairline. Or lack of one. Must have lost his hair due to the stress of dancing around things all day.
Dr. Stephen Hahn, Chump’s FDA commissioner, is just another is a long long list of Chump appointees who are nothing but political hacks. They do not work for Chump personally. They work for the american people as government employees. They have a duty and responsibility to perform their jobs well and keep the american people informed and develop policies that work in the country’s best interest. It is very clear that few if any of them are doing that, but rather they are defending and promoting Chump’s nonsense and political agenda. The honest and responsible government employees who cannot abrogate their duty and responsibility to the american people have all resigned rather than lie and deny for Chump. Tillerson, Mattis, Kelly, and numerous federal prosecutors are all examples of former Chump appointees with real integrity who resigned rather than lie and deny for Chump. What we have left is nothing but a bunch of incompetent Chump political hacks.
America can’t handle a second wave of Covid, they’re barely managing with the first wave
not yet fall tho, seasonal flu at fall combine with Covid19 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Trump can’t level with us about how serious the virus is because Putin has ordered him not to.
The ‘chosen one’ knows the more he encourages the cult of ignorance not to wear masks, the greater the likelihood Putin will do everything possible to rig the 2020 election.

Come January 2021, this whole administration should be tried Nuremberg style.
Absolutely
