Why Slowing The Spread Of Coronavirus Is Critical To Public Health | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

  1. Can someone turn why we need to slow down the virus into a picture book so a 10 year old will understand?
    And then make t’rump sit down and read it?
    😄😆🤣

  2. The dirty streets and train stations are the biggest reasons why 8000 infected people keep spreading the viruses to this whole country.

    1. How do you know it’s (only) 8000, 80% of infected people don’t show any symptoms. Oh yes you can add Airforce One to your dirty streets and train stations, that spread the virus around a bit.

    1. That is Dementia, not false teeth. Trump was struggling to speak at times because he could not keep his attention together.

  3. Trump has a strong possibility of losing his next election now for how he has reacted to this. Just want to say this now because I don’t wanna hear alternative excuses for him if he loses

    1. If he faces Biden alone, he will get four more years. We all know he needs to be defeated but by and large it is the old people who come out to vote and too many are voting for the Biden of 2008 and not the 2020 Senile Demented Biden.
      I am not going to place any fault on younger people because most of us will not vote for something or somebody that we do not support.
      There is of course still time for the younger voters (Under 50s) to come out and ensure that Bernie wins, his policies are favoured by the majority of Americans: Not just the young and just not Democrats.

  4. Trump has decided to create the first ever Department of Magic, which will be tasked with making the coronavirus disappear. The yet to be announced Director of Magic will also be responsible for all things magical. Trump’s first choice for the Director of Magic was Magic Johnson, however Magic refused to return his calls.

  5. Yes and people have been able to slowly withdraw money from their banks over the past few weeks and not caused a panic.
    Same with food. Many have been stocking up slowly for weeks in anticipation and to be ready for more than just one event at a time.
    If we were not given that extra time the stores would be much, much, more empty than they are now.
    I have been ready much longer than that so I am taken care of.
    I am sure that the people in Italy had known they would have secured more items earlier to make it comfortable going through quarantine.

  6. 1.5 trillion dollar giveaway to banksters yesterday, and still waiting for tests for us. Untidy States of Embarrassment.

  7. The water of Ganga is said to be bacteria free because of the presence of very high number of bacteria-killing viruses called bacteriophag

  8. Did you know that the World Health Organization (WHO) very quickly developed a test for the Coronavirus and offered it to All the countries and TRUMP REFUSED to use them?!?! That is why the other countries are so far ahead of us in producing them!!!

    Please look this up on the W.H.O website and help go after Trump and his Administration for their willful negligence that may have cost many American lives. Write your Senators and House of Reps about it!!!

  9. As long as domestic and international travel is permitted and “shut down” periods are generous – 1 to 2 weeks, the virus will continue to spread. The virus has a long incubation period and a long infection period. Also factor in the fact that some people are asymptomatic. Literally, ANYONE could be carrying it and spreading it around for a solid 30 days. If on the 29th day, they spread the infection to someone else that’s another 30 days.

    This virus may not have a high mortality rate but it will compensate by infecting more people than previous pandemics and thus killing more people. After all, 140 Million Falatities of 7 Billion is still 2%
