Beaver County, PA Grapples With When And How To Reopen Economy | MSNBC

  1. Dotard voters are really uneducated – an outbreak at a nursing home implies the infection is going to engulf the entire county. One has to break the chain of infections. It is that simple.

    1. Liberals are some of the most unintelligent and out of touch people I’ve ever met.
      tinyurl.com/y8fr4x82 👀

  2. They are extremely disappointed, would they rather be disappointed or save lives, ppl need to stop being so selfish what happened to love thy neighbor?

    1. Of the 482 cases in the county, over 350 are linked to one nursing home. 90% of the deaths unfortunately to that home as well. While the home has needed help and left behind by the state gov for weeks, that same gov. won’t allow the rest of the county, comprised of 164,000 people, to shift to yellow ( controlled, socially distant, relatively safe), while every county surrounding has done so. People here will simply start opening, and law enforcement has agreed to not prosecute…logic prevails

  3. Just think of how much we would be a head in this pandemic if a certain person had not waited for 8 weeks to do something about it and not taking it seriously by calling it a hoax😬

    1. Crimdor The REAL point is the Dems aren’t the ones running the country at present. Do you believe the present incumbents of the White House are doing a good job of managing the present situation?

    2. Bill Gates unofficial contingency plan/road map back in March:

      When the pandemic hits the U.S., a nationwide shutdown is necessary for 6 to 10 weeks.
      Check.
      COVID-19 cases will peak in late April.
      Check.
      When cases come down a month later (late May), the economy can reopen.
      Check.
      Public schools will reopen in the Fall.
      Check.

      Either this is a plandemic, or Bill Gates is the preeminent fortune teller of our era.

    3. @Elmosweed You should read the link to the Statesman you posted because it actually doesn’t make your argument look good.

    4. @aperez539 Thank you very much- the link to Statesman outlines what Biden actually said that has fired up Trump Supporters .
      This is the smoking gun on how Biden called Trump a racist:
      Biden tweeted: “We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency.”
      I am guessing the word Xenophobia is what it comes down to.
      Xenophobia: a dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.
      The word Xenophobia came about I am guessing when he did not make any travel restrictions from any other Country that were dealing with the virus as we….
      Trump had tweeted: “be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!”
      The traffic has not stopped- Only people seeking citizenship were turned away.
      The Democrats response was to say: “Immigration has nearly stopped and the US has far more cases than any other country,” he said. “This is just xenophobic scapegoating.”
      *I would have to agree with that- If you have 30 people leaving China to enter the USA- with the travel restrictions only 1 person is not allowed to board that plane to help stop the spread of the virus- The non citizen of the USA is the only one that cannot board that plane
      Thanks again for having a conversation..very refreshing😁

  4. Governor Wolf has a 72% approval rate because the majority of the state wishes to remain safe.

    1. @Dave Schultz Wolf does not need to think about re-election since he already has been. It’s about public health. Which your side does not care at all about.

    2. 2/3 of PA is opening or open already. The rest, hopefully, including the Phila. metro, will be more open in a couple of weeks.

    3. @Karen Byrd , We care about mental health too. A point which seems never to cross liberal’s minds for some reason..🤔 I think Im on to something. You liberals are interesting and disturbing at the same time.

  5. Trump: I’m itching to scale back social distancing because I want to go back having my hate rallies.

    1. @Dean Purcell They were HUGE! It was like going to a Pink Floyd concert…I only have gotten the chance to attend 37 but they were totally amazing and like a religious experience.

  6. If there really was a deep state as trump often claims hed gave been taken out of the whitehouse by now

    1. If there was even a hint of responsible governance and integrity in the American political system he would never have been elected. The USA is finished, there’s no way back from this.
      Think about just how desperate and dysfunctional a country would have to be to elect something that dishonest, that foul, that incompetent and then tell me how you’ll ever make progress?
      Even if there is an election in November it looks like Biden is the other option. It was exactly the same kind of corporate Democrat that gave you Trump in 2016. It’s like America has learned nothing in the last 4 years.
      America is done.
      Cheers

    2. lol, they tried, they failed. now it seems that the ones who tried are being exposed, but you would not know that here since they do not want to report what i really going on

    3. TRUMP-when will they open a cold case on the Psycho Joe Scarborough matter in Florida? Did he get away with Murder? knowing there is (no) statute of limitations. Some people think so. and why did he Leave congress so quietly and Quickly? isn’t obvious? that this man thinks he got away with Murder lol let’s prove him wrong on this conspiracy BS lets open up this case again…Latinos for TRUMP

  7. Hahaha, the Trump air accordion, catching on among reporters all over the US. Hilarious!!

  8. Business owner: “I don’t know how long we can survive at this rate”.
    Reporter: “Do you have any idea how long you can hang on?”
    Cutting edge reporting from Dog Turd, Arizona.

    1. @R S
      I just saw a poll (yeah, I know) but Trump still has 46% support. Either the polls are orders of magnitude wrong or the US has an epidemic of mental illness?
      Cheers

  9. Yeah…. it doesn’t look good for the democrats, they want to keep us alive, vote them out. #BeLessStupid

    1. Trump’s going to win AGAIN
      Looney-Tune liberals will be Screaming at the Sky AGAIN 😁

    2. Obey your master’s leftards…While the blue states are collapsing the red states are thriving…Obey leftards, obey,morons…

    1. Remind me again of who gave the riches peoples and companies taxcuts and want you, not them, to go back to work?
      Oh, and who again got bailout money? can’t remember if it was wallstreet or mom and pop shops.

  10. I live in Pennsylvania. Trust me,we’re not all braindead ignoramuses. That’s why we have a Democratic governor.

  11. Don’t tell me, Meal Team 6 is going to “protest” the reopening. Why is it Trump cult members need an assault rifle for protesting?

  12. With literally hundreds of thousands of more case’s of coroner virus then before the shutdown. Yeah nothing will go wrong!
    Glad to be Australian.
