Atlanta Mayor Discusses Coronavirus Symptoms | Morning Joe | MSNBC
When a member of our family was tested EVERYONE quarantined until the results came back. Carrying on like its nothing until results come back is stupid. This is why it’s out of control.
What is the point..you’ll get it tomorrow or next week….WE’VE LOST THAT WAR
@Gato Meownew york hasn’t
perhaps you should have listened to cuomo, as opposed to donnie?
When the world finds out the truth, they are literally going to lose their minds. People love lies the world tells them and refuse any and all truth from shattering their false sense of security. Reminding the world daily and perpetuating new fears is the what continues to hold those that have been taken captive by evil. Wake up people! The coronavirus is not real. COVID 19 is a psychological operation: MK Ultra, Cointelpro… Nothing new. For many, it will take the gilloutines coming out before they become willing to listen and accept the truth. Wake up! Phase 2 of the New World Order is underway! WAKE UP!
Ken Price …I’m sorry you were dropped on your head as an infant

It takes us no more then 48 hours in South Africa to get our test result and we are a 3rd world country … It’s amazing you guys having to wait so long wow.
Leo Vermaak The new American socialist flag will have lots of yellow in it for cowardice, White for surrender , and instead of stars, piles of feces .good job Biden, pelosi, kaepernick, aoc. ….
Atlanta is a third world country these days…….
@Leo Vermaak How kind of you ! 😇 Best wishes and good health to you and yours as well 😊
Yup we are tired of winning!

Population 6+ million, 200 testing clinics, time taken for test 5 mins excluding clinic waiting times but no queues, takes 1 day to definitely get result back. 26 covid deaths since, 40000 tests per day. This is my country’s management of covid.
Just the time taken for tests in US really shows why US is struggling with this virus.

Ok, as a NY, we have been told, and I wld hope we take seriously, that WHEN we feel strongly enough that our symptoms are suspect to warrant getting tested, we go get the test, STAY HOME, until you get the results…. bcz you don’t know the result is positive or negative… U don’t go get tested and then go out and behave as normal until you find out! This needs to be understood! Please… and Everyone, Stay safe and wear a mask.
Xman what’s your point. Asymptotic positive tested people are support stay home, where I live they check on you and if they don’t get a hold of you they go to your home and check.
@Teresa S
That’s AFTER the test is positive not after taking the test. She DIDN’T get tested because she had symptoms.. She said it took 8 days to get the results of the test.
Xman you’re supposed to quarantine until you get results back to avoid spreading it on and she didn’t probably because she is a busy woman being the mayor and all
@James Smith
I’m pretty sure she knows the protocol better than us. You don’t have to quarantine just because you took the test. You quarantine if you’ve been exposed to someone who is known to have the virus. She didn’t know that until the test results came back.

i’m in canada and a test takes 2 days here
Denmark here – they process the test, while we wait, wait time: 15-20 min. Any1 can go get a test for any reason or no reason at all.
It takes 1 day if you’re a healthcare worker.
@Badminton Generation Not in America for the average joe who might be a spreader.
Depends in the area i guess…daughter tested and results within 8 hours.

I don’t want to insult anyone’s intelligence but maybe some people don’t know that Asymptomatic means without symptoms and infected and able to spread the virus
You know, you may be right in that a lot of people may not understand what “asymptomatic” means. I am one of those people who are considered “atypical” because I have been diagnosed twice with ulcers, but never had the “typical” symptoms. So I sure hope that folks have an understanding of what “asymptomatic” means and the reason why it is so very necessary to wear a mask, stay home, if at all possible, keep your hands clean, and social distance. It isn’t just about you, it’s about everyone else.
@Jerry Walker insult the POTUS for he knows nothing despite claiming to be a genius of modern medicine.
Just like a lot of Republicans think ACA and Obama Care are two different things.
The stupidity is amazing.
Ive read that asymptomatic people can still have lung damage.
Hey, check out this racist picture of Congressman John Katko that the media is covering up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtHwUh9lrwY
I guess you have to self isolate “as if” while awaiting results. Insane.

India gets the result done in less than 24 hours.
Western world is all noise , no show.
Reconquista: Hinduism No, mostly the US.
We have 45 min test results. Don’t believe anything on this channel. It’s not news and it’s all fake.
It’s all Trump’s stupidity brother… we’re sick of that fool

Donnie and his homies get tested whenever they want….thx USA 🙁
@citizen X You can get the things you need to do your own testing at home. Very simple to do. Google it. You don’t have to go to a hospital to get tested.
@BKD Vickers so what’s the issue. Are they just complaining about a president again lol
Why does it offend you that President of USA gets tested often? And why did you say sarcastic “thanks USA”? How exactly does it hurt YOU that Trump is being tested often?
@citizen X They are complaining because it’s become a form of entertainment for them to complain. They have nothing else to do.

I’m. Canadian. When the virus first hit in early March it was taking about 48 hours for results, but the government quickly hired a bunch more lab people to process tests and within a couple of weeks it was a 24 hour turnaround and it remains that to this day. I know that Americans have mixed feelings about the universal healthcare run by the government but it sure helps when you need everybody on the same page with something. The area I live in has the lowest Covid rate in the whole country. Early strategies, population compliance and calm, effective leadership means we are now in phase 3 of recovery. Americans should really talk to Dr. Bonnie Henry. Under her leadership my province has controlled this disease (and continues to do so).
I am from BC also and Dr. Henry is doing a wonderful job without interference from the government.
Canada is a barren wasteland that has no people. Come out of your safe space and see if the virus doesn’t explode.
@Tanner Shortnacy = what an idiotic comment. Ever heard of Toronto? Montreal? Quebec? Winnipeg? Calgary? Vancouver? All major world class cities.
I hope you Canadians know not all of us here are idiots. I’ve been marveling at how you’re handling COVID and wishing we could do even half as well.
@Teresa S it relates to the topic of Canada and the coronavirus , that seems to be the subject

Mayor don’t listen to the dotard at the top, he hasn’t got the state’s interest at heart at all.
I don’t think he cares if cities defy his executive order. He just wants to be able to say he didn’t mandate wearing masks.

I don’t think there’s much sense to make of this, but I’m really confused about people not understanding how dangerous it is to shove kids in schools right now in this Covid climate. Not even to mention Trump’s school meeting yesterday, which seemed to just be put in place to give Melania something to do. Can we not policize schools lol?
She is lying
@Victor Johnson Stop it right now and listen to medical experts.
NerdAlert Do you bring your kids to target…Walmart…the grocery store….Yes?…then they can go to school too.
Alisha Monique i definitely don’t bring my kids to those places, alisha.

I would never live in or visit a city with civilians walking around with guns on streets.
We don’t want you here.
I wouldn’t either.
You could say the same about any city where people party and walk around stores and streets with no mask playing fast and loose with the virus.
Then leave America and go to Somalia.

Not trying to rub it in, In Malaysia, I can get testing by just driving to nearest hospital on the spot. All within 20 minutes drive or slightly more. Why it takes longer in USA just dumbfounded me.
Im not bragging but Malaysia is a giant shithole compared to America.
@Tanner Shortnacy IDK about that… America is sure working hard at being a giant shithole.

Mayor mentions “getting to the other side.” I hope she means the other side of the pandemic and the other side of ruinous trump and GOP inaction. Vote Blue like your life depended on it.

Get the test results back within 24 hours here in the UK and everyone in the household self isolates
The UK is a shithole.
Ed Tee — Pay no attention to the trolls, all of whom don’t even have passports and have never been anywhere beyond their local Walmart.
@Carmen R ah, but what a beautiful Wallmart it is
best Wallmart, eva
@Tanner Shortnacy And America isn’t 😂😂 have you seen the South its like basra 5 year after the invasion

i’m a general practioner in Germany. Here we do it like this: If someone calls me in the morning because of a fever or a sore throat or a cough he can come straight away. He rings at the door, an assistent will bring him a test kit and a little manual, he will do the test in the car and will ring again. Then he will get his sick leave (to macke sure he is not infecting anybody). At ten o’clock the tests are being picked up. The next morning at seven o’clock we have the results.
In the beginning in March we had a lot of ski tourits from Ischgl and for 3 weeks 50% were positive! Then there was the shut down and masks became mandatory. Now the last positive test is more than 2 months ago, although we test anybody having even only very little symptoms.
This simple testing seems not to be available in the US.
We are testing half million every single day. Is Germany testing at this rate and if not do you think it would slow down the results if they were.

I can’t believe in 2020 there are towns/cities where people can openly walk around with guns!….and in the USA with so much gun violence! Hello!
Michelle Mcmillian Not true… Texas, Virginia, Montana, The Dakotas, and others all pretty much have open carry throughout the state with Republican leadership. Such a broad, uneducated statement…
Susan Mozda Are they killing 8 year old girls like the BLM protesters did in Atlanta?
Agreed! And not just guns (handguns), we’re regularly seeing men open carry assault rifles. They bring them to BLM protests to keep America “safe.” People of all ages with children just carrying signs and these men feel threatened.
Now you Know why Florida Residents can Have Pistols in The Car , Protection !!!

When you get tested, you act as if you have the virus until the test comes back.
