U.S. Reaches Grim Milestone of 500,000 Covid Deaths | MSNBC
This is so devastating! God Rest Their Souls😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
@Homewood Stop being selfish. Listen to this woman speak about what is happening in Texas and do something positive to help them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J48PNgKnMak
@Homewood YES I CARE ABOUT BEING RIGHT AND SPEAKING TRUTH. WAKE UP ALREADY!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J48PNgKnMak
@Homewood better then being a mooching begging foreigner👍😂😂
@J. Gomes That makes exactly zero sense
@The Zombie Warz What exactly are YOU doing to help? And you think liking your own comment and linking the video every single time will help?
Unfortunately, this was one travesty we wish not to remember. We’ve lost several neighbors and friends relatives. Lord, take the wheel.💦
@Dean Sacca Probs because people are washing their hands, wearing masks and social distancing you ninconpoop. ofcourse flu was going to go down dramatically, it was far less contagious to begin with. I haven’t had the flu once since this started.
@Robert Webb
I don’t know a single person who’s been murdered either but don’t hide my head in the sand and pretend it doesn’t exist.
“Everything they tell us must be a lie cuz I don’t see it”. Wow!!
You must not believe in Australia either.
The cosmic dissonance in your parallel world must be crippling.
@Que Thank you! I know it’s not easy. You and your Mom, be well!
The Area Agency on Aging was a big help for us. js. Hang in there!
@Dean Sacca
Stfu troll
@Robert Webb How many people do you know?
Need to get those school teachers vaccinated also
Check out positive side of dark reaction
Totally agree, but any staff that has contact in the schools should also be included. jmo
Nope
This saddens 500,000 plus families, in which several did not need to pass before their time , for this could’ve diverted, but no , lies and misconceptions and the needs of “one”
@Red jam 611 Nice sentence….
wait.. what? .. several? im sure it was several more than that …
@Dean Sacca
I’m glad your translator helped you out skabeeva Bogatishev 😂👍🏻😂
@The Insane Shecklador Listen to what the Illinois Covid Task Force says about how Covid “deaths” are counted.

I am sorry for your loss, but people like us are not killing anyone though.
@Dean Sacca
Lmaoooooo
Yeah my poor overworked underpaid trolling gomosek
But ? That’s the life you live under queen vladz little Smirnoff
Lmaoooooo 😂🤷🏼♂️😂
Idiots from the troll farm , you guys are great entertainment chenkov Bogatishev
Have wondered why since this pandemic began that the government hasn’t invoked the Defense Production Act to produce N95 masks. It was always a no-brainer. Moreover, they should be distributed free to all Americans, with a priority placed on medical and essential workers, the elderly, and high-risk groups.
@Jay1 Live
Your statement is false.
If you truly believe it, best you don’t need medical help then. Your surgeon might pass out on you in the O.R.
Anyone who wants a mask can get one. They hand them out free at Walmart.
Because there is no scientific evidence that the masks are effective in preventing the spread of coronavirus. Mask wearing is a sign of submission. Healthy people should not be forced to wear a mask. The almighty Anthony Fauci himself said “asymptomatic cases are not what drives epidemics”
@Danaman62 no one will ever force me to “mask up”
@C. L-M surgeons wear them for maybe a couple of hours at a time or less depending on what surgery they’re performing. You people are wearing them all day long. There’s a difference genius
Wow the emotions, God give us help!
Thank you reporters for reporting this.
wait … what? I mean… really dood
My condolences to all those who have lost a loved one…
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
And from Japan. The countries with the highest obesity and unhealthy population do seem to have suffered the most.
@Juan Lopez
So, all of the rest of the World agreed to fake a virus just for American politics? SMH
Thank you 💗
@Ordinary Mo the only way a lie can work is if everyone is in on it… WHO and United Nations are involved and yes all for the USA the number one country on this planet for the last 100yrs
Condolences to everyone around the world who have lost their loved ones to Covid 19. From the U.K. 🇬🇧
I am alive!! My children,grandchildren, friends neighbors are ok. I hope to make it through. My fellow Americans stay safe. Love,peace and respect to all.. looking forward to a better future. 🇺🇲😎😷🙏.
It’s good to see a positive comment,thank you. Stay safe.
@Alwin Knowles Yes, indeed. We need to see more refreshing comments.
I lost my mother in law last year from covid. You are lucky not to know anyone who died.
Condolences to all families that lost someone.
It’s not the lack of science. It’s the politics that led to this. Sadly.
@john smith Yeah and pelosi said walls are “immoral” but still has one up around the capitol and her home… so what’s your point.
Here’s the inconvenient truth: 1/3 of all COVID deaths came from the policies of Democratic governors that forced nursing homes to take in covid positive patients.
@Never Sin I bet you were one of the people who believed back in April 2020 that this COVID would just disappear like a miracle.
@A Chinese Bot Enough of the racism, please. The 1918 Flu Pandemic likely began in the USA…Kansas specifically. We are headed for more deaths than that caused.
@shav12 BS. 1/3 of all COVID deaths came from COVID-19. There were, and will continue to be, missteps in this whole thing. The whole thing has been mishandled, and the American people in general are to blame for that.
Normal isn’t around the corner. Teachers are leaving in droves and many of our stores have gone online which means, no retail work, restaurants aren’t coming back which means no jobs in those industries. Our infrastructure took a severe hit and our divide between us and the 1% grew at an exponential rate!
👆 Someone gets it.
And sadly because of Trumps lies and inaction. The Republican attitude against the common people. It could have been much less worse if handled right to begin with.
I hang my head low for those who didn’t survive this embarrassing pandemic response. My Aunt Marilyn died from coronavirus she had some good years ahead with her grandchildren. 😞
I so sorry.rip.my prayer your way.
My sincere condolences, Laura.
@blake jones Feel better after that do you? you are a miserable human being, but I am pretty sure you got the response you wanted.
@Trey Black How was that? tell me.. with facts.
She died of old age….and the criminal hospital people put “Covid” on the death cert…and YOU KNOW IT……..
Half a million people, that’s so sad.
It’s so sad that people like you believe it
@Jay1 Live
Run along little princess GOLUBOI
Rip to everyone🙏
Yet one more tragic milestone for a once able nation…now, hard to even recognize. You have a new potus, yet the con man still makes the headlines. Keep giving the benefit of the doubt for this country, but the truth is hard to hide, it’s divided, and going backwards. 500, 000 dead, not even close to getting this under control…. the UN USA…?
Another Covid-iot…..
Early Congrats on your PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, Bill Gates & Dr. Fauci!!!
Few more months and you won’t need any vaccination.
Geez guys, you need a big, well padded country with no knobs for your own good. SMH
Who cares about death tolls and public safety as long as people’s freedom not to wear masks and properly social distance isn’t infringed.
Honestly, make these measures mandatory everywhere, for goodness sake.
Something else to thank Chump and the GOP for and the reason I say that is because they knew the truth and Chump kept lying to us and the GOP backed him up every step of the way
