U.S. Prep For Coronavirus Challenged By Resource Limitations | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
They should replace Pence with this guy. No more political appointees in public safety, judicial or national security positions!
Wow, you’re a special kind of dumb aren’t you? The VP is not a political appointee, he was voted in by the people.
@Jos Fielden lies liar!
Logical Psycho 🤦♀️
@Logical Psycho Read this slowly. Read it two or three times if you need to. He was appointed by Trump to be the PR guy re: Coronavirus. He was not elected for that. He holds no medical degree, so he’s not even qualified for the job.
This guy seems so docile, I swear he looked at the data and choose to medicate… the burden of knowledge jk ;P
Which one?
I see what you mean but he just has very hooded eyes. Many choose surgery to amend the issue. I forget the non layman’s term for the issue.
Thank you google …Blepharoplasty
Start testing at Walmarts across the country. Every time I go there’s someone that sounds like they have the plague.
Droppin Bass You know what else you can do? Stop going to Walmart. Problem solved.
Erica Harrington Try being a teacher. Those kids are germ factories
I went to home depot yesterday and a man coughed and when he saw me he put his elbow up like he coughed into his arm but no he missed altogether …..Masks for the sick not the healthy ….if you care about others wear a mask or better yet stay home!
We dont have a resource issue, we have an inequality issue.
@t It’s the degree of inequality. If you need janitors and house keepers so badly, pay them enough for rent and healthcare.
May be you can visit Wuhan to show solidarity against racism
@Matt Street what if a business pays janitors says $50k a year. Would you then agree the company would need to increase the price of their product or services to make up for it?
The testing process for the Oregon patient is snail slow. They have to wait for a confirmation of their preliminary confirmation to get 100% confirmation before they will tell the public that we have a 100% confirmed case here in Oregon. Meanwhile, they will not disclose any other information about this patient, where she has been beside the grade school, or what hospital she is in because of the HIPPA laws. I think that in this crisis, some HIPPA laws need to be relaxed for the safety of the public and for containment purposes. Furthermore, they said that this patient is not in a negative pressure room. So how many people and staff will be exposed in this hospital before we get a test confirmation from CDC? We gotta pick up the speed here with turning out test results! If China can turn out 1000+ plus a day, then why can’t we??? Protocols and red tape? Ridiculous!!! We haven’t got a chance at this snail mail rate of testing!
Water Trine Muse
Snot a crisis. Trump said when the weather warms up it will go away and Mike painted on hair Pence is praying for us. What could possibly go wrong?Yes I deliberately said snot so that all the hamberder eaters could follow the oranges of my statement.
@Jim Alley simply brilliant Jimmies. Yous gots it all figurees out!
They did say where one of the Oregonian patients is hospitalized. Kaiser in Hillsboro. I read it in an article.
BE AWARE ,AMERICA,DON’T LET THE NUMBER GROW ,OR YOU CAN’T DEAL WITH IT .
Already too late.
*FORCE THE LOCAL AND STATE LEO TO ACT AS NURSES.*
Totalitarianism
Dumbest fkn idea ive heard so far ffs!
When he coughed at 2:28 i knew it was a wrap for everybody.
Haha smh.
Hopefully Maddow gets a Virus and quarantined for weeks…
thanks for the laugh, if anyone’s going to get the virus its def the faithless demonrats on the fake news, they the sell outs to china, like ms fienstien that had a china spy working for her for 30 yrs.
Could be Trump’s excuse, via his incompetence, to stop the election.
Low IQ people like you should not have a vote!
99% chance there won’t be any elections until vaccine is found.
@Jos Fielden What he is saying is a good assumption. so how come you think he has a low IQ.
Lol!!!!!!!! The only thing that stopped an American election was ww2.
People may now not live to regret that there is no Medicare for all to provide a cohesive response.
People currently with Medicare will get a cohesive response?
Parslow Pongbert Trump crippled Obamacare. Trump cared more about cutting his taxes than the nation’s welfare.
My response to Hannity today who is putting the blame on democrats for criticizing Trumps response to the coronavirus. Hannity follow this, there is nothing wrong with expecting the president to appoint someone who knows something about the coronavirus to be ahead of a task force. Hannity do you realize Trump is batting zero on bringing in the best, he had to fire 50 people he thought, (he thought) was the best. I am sorry but I have no confidence in Trump only trying to control what the public knows. So Hannity with Trumps horrible record of picking competent people he did it again by picking Pence who believes prayer is the best defense against the coronavirus. Everyone knew Trump would not be able to handle a crisis. Here we see Trump more concerned about the stock market going down and his incompetent handling of the response to the virus hurting his reelection chances. We want a president who is concerned about the coronavirus spreading in this country not a president who only cares about himself.
Mike Pence implemented temporary needle exchanges to prevent others from sharing used needles.
Did everyone forget we have a cabinet level department dedicated to health?
@MrCauseEffect Apparently so.
COVID-19 is not a HOAX… It has spread to over 50+ countries and has several thousands of confirmed cases. This is a Global Pandemic..#TrumpLiesAboutCoronavirus
what? orange man bad?
Orange man bad
They are not testing so they can deny there are many cases. We won’t know if we don’t know .
KLN 4 and the earth is flat
EXACTLY!I AM WILLING TO BET THERE’S FAR MORE INFECTED IN THE U.S.AND FREE WALKING AROUND INFECTING OTHERS
Holly Hocks EXACTLY!! (Oh crap, I just saw someone said that. Let me say this instead…) You are correct 👍🏽
KLN 4 Trump’s “presidency” is a hoax
Japan probably learned how to handle it from Cells At Work Black
When we get sick and our bodies fight the sickness without us doing anything. It truly makes us realize how little control we have over our human body and the internal day-to-day functions.
I love how he smirks to the idea of politicians getting it hahaha
D K I want politicians and clergy to die
D K He couldn’t hold it back.
HE’S COUGHING
2:27 Great example there… DON’T USE YOUR HAND!
I recognise that guy! He makes meth in an old motorhome! 💃
There’s more going on in our Government,than a virus.
This Virus
is a Cover up for something bigger.
