As Businesses Reopen, Certain Environments Are More Prone To Virus Infection | The Last Word | MSNBC

    1. @Bud Fudlacker So it’s better to be dead than poor, got it. As long as you’re not the one losing his life. And no the world is not going to end, tht’s fear mongering, the rich elite might lose some money, since they’re the only ones benefitting from opening up the country now since they don’t have to risk their lives.

    2. @D more than 80.000 Americans have died, how is tht fake news, did they fake all those ppl’s deaths, are all those families and friends they left behind in on it ? If wearing a face mask was hype than why is everyone who works in the white house now recquired to wear them ?

    3. Sramana Dasyu they report all deaths as covid even if it was from a car accident every day in the USA 7500 people die it’s a scam you are being lied too

  1. People packed into restaurants: This is nice.
    Waiter: Would you like to see a menu?
    Coronavirus: No need. I’ll take one of everything.
    People packed into restaurants: Who said that?

    1. The people who get this virus, may well be the next victom’s of its mutations! By getting it, IT may not do one thing to help your herd immunity, and it very well could plant a code for your destruction in the mutated wave!

    2. ​@Woo Ha That’s a lie. There have been about 120,000 more deaths in 2020 than in an average year. 80,000 of those are confirmed COVID deaths. So even if you subtract ALL the COVID deaths, 40,000 more Americans have died Jan-Apr 2020 than in an average year.

    3. @Robert The Bruce Did you know the word “gullible” was removed from the dictionary?

      Stop trying to distract with that BS. Another nothing burger from the Trump DoJ.

    4. @THE WORD IS A SWORD TO SLAY MANS WISDOM777 Well. You don’t have to wear one. Bon appetit. Go get your haircut afterwards. Enjoy your life.

  2. Seeing as singing increases the risk of infection by a magnitude of ten, singing the anthem should no longer be mandated at public events.

    1. @Baby drumphf You won’t see that on project mockingbird state run mainstream news that has you BRAINWASHED between your ears..

  3. The White House is testing regularly – identifying and isolating the infected. The rest of us are left to spread the virus amongst ourselves and die – thanks Trump!

    1. Dave Schultz : You really HATE that you can’t land a blow on Joe, don’t you? It’s because America is voting AGAINST Donny, not, “for,” anyone, son 😁

    2. @THE WORD IS A SWORD TO SLAY MANS WISDOM777 are you DEAF? Or Stupid? Why are you SHOUTING

    3. Well we know one thing, HE FAILED TO KEEP IT OUT EVEN WITH ALL THE TESTING IN THE WORLD? AND TRUMP WILL DIE FROM THIS!

    4. While this encroaches on the realm of conspiracy theory, let’s take a look at something. Remember when the pandemic first hit the news and they showed the chart of what would happen if nothing was done? There would be a peak of one and a half to two million dead in two to three weeks and then a precipitous drop as herd immunity kicked in with a vengeance. So at most three months and life could go back to “normal”. What if a group who were completely amoral, with no ability to feel empathy, saw that and liked the idea. Just a thought.

    5. lucusrose : Never saw the, “projection,” to which you are referring. People said it, “could,” do all sorts of things, but no two ideas agreed, nor did any suggest they had anything better than guess work to go on. So, yeah . . . Best left consigned to, “conspiracy theory.”

  4. I’m pretty sure I would lose my appetite if I went out to eat and all the staff, waiters, and cooks are all wearing masks and gloves (like there’s some kind of dangerous virus going around)

    1. Seriously, when I see people standing outside picking up a meal at some to-go venue, without having their faces covered (regulation is they ought to), it really looks kinda odd to me now! We get used to everything, it’s human, and this might last a while longer, so what. -Edit: To the waitress, you really have to cover your nose too, sis. 😮

    2. I said the same thing. Knowing the fact that the virus stalks among us. Color me paranoid. Color me unease. Color me i love my health and life as well as my family.

  5. Looks like the WH is the preverbal “HOT BOX” for the corona virus
    and the enraged Orangutan would never yell.-oh!

    1. The important thing it demonstrates, though, is that with regular testing, the infected can be identified, isolated and their contacts traced and tracked. It’s actually working there, but that’s what we need everywhere. Not everybody, everyday, but enough to identify, isolate and track

    2. Johnny McMerica Agreed, but it needs to be done as quickly as possible to limit later infections of the previously tested.

    1. V : I just don’t get it? If America is SO RICH, like Donny’s been telling us for three years, where TF are all these POOR PEOPLE COMING FROM? . . . 🤔

  6. “Singing is the most dangerous of all those things.”
    The Proud Boys, Michigan Militia and the COVIDiots were singing and chanting and screaming in the Michigan Capitol building, while standing shoulder to shoulder. That should work out well.

    1. When I see them testing the virus, I actually root for the virus! You want to be stupid fine! but really people like this who cant control themselves need to be in a camp!

    2. The people who get this virus, may well be the next victom’s of its mutations! By getting it, IT may not do one thing to help your herd immunity, and it very well could plant a code for your destruction in the mutated wave!

    3. @Dave Schultz
      Alex Jones told everyone 20 yrs ago exactly what is happening now and all the serpent lickers who tried to slander him proves hes legit

    4. Whose Whistling Dixie Now? Imagine a chorus of Russian trolls Whistling Dixie in unison & falsetto!

    1. The democratic deep state corporate. beast system antichrist network serpent legion of death uses their own labmade virus to bury the nation and then use it for mandatory cancer laced nanotech tracker ink vaccinations to bring in the number of the beast.
      YOURE A TRAGIC EMBARRASSMENT

    2. 60 Minutes are serpent brainwashing disinformants.. Wake up or sell out, youre just another dimestore sucker or a backstabbing traitor

  7. Shouting “lock her up” is the best way to spread the virus. Time for the biggest Trump rally yet.

    1. There is a statue of limitations, so Hillary Clinton can no longer be charged. She is completely free from her alleged crimes.

    1. Spunn Center you’re calling out trump trolls for being brainwashed and then proceed to link a conspiracy theory video…..

    2. @Bohemian Sunset
      Na, im claiming everyone who supports the democratic corporate beast system is serpent, owned and controlled by demons

    3. Spunn Center you make no sens, Russians won’t be democrats, then you said morons brainwashed by snakes, that’s trump supporters you’re describing, I’m pretty sure we can find this exact definition on urban dictionary.
      You should look up the term psychological projection it might help you to understand your confusion.

  8. @2:37 The waiter can stand in one spot and ‘touch’ three other people, which means they are only about 1.5m (5′) apart. So if the waiter was an asymptomatic carrier he could potentially infect four other people just by serving someone their soup… Fortunately, he bought his own PPE in to work.

    1. Nothing is mentionedabout whether said PPE is itself clean. Is it a mask he’s been wearing for two days or a fresh mask? Is he handling said mask properly??

  9. I’m betting if these idiots take a doggy bag of left-overs home to granny, they’ll end up giving it to the dog instead.

  10. You have to love the childish reaction from America. It’s all the Chinese fault(yes it is) and now as we go out and spread it around because we are such spoilt little snowflakes we can’t stay in for a few weeks, that is also China’s fault. Just like the illustrious child leader, no balls and no idea.

    1. Now that I know what’s out there, I don’t blame anyone else for my potential exposure. I need to treat everyone as if they are infected. No restaurants, no carry out or delivery, no barber/beauty shop, no unnecessary shopping and no meat products and affiliated brands produced by people who are forced to work or incentivized by bonuses to show up sick.

  11. Thank you, but i am going to continue with contactless delivery at my home and eat in safety.

  12. Maybe the Proud Boys will slowly infect each other though I’m sure Jared made sure they have lots of tests!

  13. This could save You or a Loved One : I’ve been home now for 2 months in shock,so I started ready everything covid 19. Here goes, Dr. Oz had 2 great you tubes with Dr. Didier Raoult , world famous Frence immunologist. and Dr. Daniel Wallace, Beverly Hills Calif. Dr. Dr. Zelenko upstate N.Y. All 3 have done extensive testing on their patients. Dr. Dan Erickson Bakersfield Calif. has 2 great fact based videos as an aside. Hcq,z pack,zinc sullfate, mixed together. Cures you in 1-2 days.

    Remember our national treasure Tom Hanks ?? Thought he was a goner ?? He and wife Rita took it, got cured in 2 days.Worst symptoms according to his own fb page ?? ” the blahs”. Boris Johnson Miracle ?? 2 days, cured. Karen Whitsett staunch democrat in Mich. read her story. Share this !
