  1. Please listen to the experts, you wouldn’t go to a florist to fix your teeth… Stay safe and well. 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    1. WAKE UP. Ignorance really is bliss huh? People just eat up everything the news tells them without question. Most importantly, no one fact checks them, which is why they push this nonsense. They count on people’s ignorance, and ignorance is in abundance……because they suppress and discredit the truth, calling it dangerous conspiracies.

    2. American Scarelines Actually, if you catch Covid, it’s can take a while for the test to show positive, so you can have one today and if you caught the virus earlier in the day, the test won’t show it.

    1. @Dixie Cannon all of the information contained in this clip doesn’t exactly scream partisan, but if you believe it to be lies, I’m not going to try and convince you otherwise.

      Anyways, thanks for stopping by. Conspiracy theories can be found in the Pirro aisle. Please make sure to tell her that I’m still waiting for Hilary to get locked up.

    1. @The Tweatles I don’t see homosexuality hurting anyone besides people that want to leave their home and contract and spread the virus

  2. lucky for me, I don’t like going out much and stay home most of the time. While others are finding it hard to stay in, it’s like a holiday to me. I love my cave! :p

    1. freaker126 home sweet home when are at peace with your self u have no need for a crowd 🙏🏾😍😘🥰👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

    2. @Arizlan LOL
      I take it you’re on PCP.Judging by your impulsive manner.
      Its funny how ppl are still referring to this pandemic crisis as if its political when BOTH sides are pissed off at the current president’s GREATness.
      Example needed?
      No problem!the Lincoln Project,and just recently,atty. General Barr is being asked by the majority of Judges or Justices (both Dem. & Rep.) to resign because he crossed over boundaries for the sake of protecting Donald Trump.
      But let’s be honest no matter what party Trump is in,it won’t change the ratio of his fan base.If you disagree,I totally understand.Just do yourself a favor and to all those who read),provide some sensible backup behind cheering on Trump.Just solely referring to labels isn’t just gonna cut it.

    3. I have been practicing social distancing since I was a kid lol, my whole day was about just getting home and being SOLO INTROVERTS FIGURATIVELY UNITE!!!

    4. @Runner Girl appropriate? Obviously your definition of appropriate is one of somebody who doesn’t get out enough. And has a small social circle with a bunch of conservative folks. This is a YouTube forum, not some kind of church. Even when I have meetings with my CEO and executive board there are many ‘inappropiate words’ being thrown out. And it is considered work appropriate talk. You live in a dream world where you can act like your classy and tell people to act more classy because you derive your ego from acting like a high class person. When the reality is your so stuck in your dream world that you make others laugh when you tell others to ‘act appropiate’ on a YouTube forum. A complete stubborn dreamer. I have no need to continue wasitn my time telling you how immature your ways are. Accept reality. People will cuzz and act how they want. You need to stop judging them so quickly like a brat. Now if kids are involved that is completely different. But a YouTube forum…..not the place to tell people to act classy. And if your gonna get mad about it you need to see a therapist. That is the beginning of a toxic habit.

    1. You have all the rights in the world to stay at home, all of you, IF you pay for it *_YOURSELF_*

    2. @100 ud af 100 danske politibetjente er pædofile So 100% of your policemen are pedo’s? Sounds like you have a real nuanced opinion.

    3. @harry nac Facts are some times horrible. All the Hitler Jugends they take on danish police academy unfortunately have pedophile traits. It’s a major problem. I think UK has the same problem with their police and pedophilia. At least I have heard.

    4. @100 ud af 100
      Let me guess  ,you are a criminal and they have caught you so many times that you start to lash out against them on social medias.

    1. mistery-ed the problem is that many people can’t visualise the invisible. They can’t mentally work out or track how many things they touch, how far breathing and coughing will spread. Their brains might be good at something else, but not this. Even given the information they just can’t apply it. Like there’s a video of a guy doing Walmart in mask and gloves, but at the checkout he pulls down his mask and eats Cheetos with his gloved fingers. He might not be a stupid guy overall, just unable to follow a concept through to the end.

    3. Well when you have Republicans running the show all rational and critical thought get thrown out the window. Shame!

    4. Jen 2870 You are beautiful. The comment section can be such a pit of vulgarity and mean spiritedness. Thank you for respectfully bringing another view to the table. It brings some positive energy to the space. I appreciate it.

  3. Loud talkers spew out more pathogens. That applies to Trump when he’s screaming and ranting at his staff for bringing the virus into the WH. 😤

  4. Just like these factory farms! They put all these animals in close, confined places and inject them with antibiotics because they get sick from those conditions.

    1. @D K who owns patent to corona virus? That’s who is attacking.
      Trump 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸

    2. @Jeremy Wittekind Who would create a virus that could potentially kill the creator or those he cares about? You have no way to control a virus.

  5. Not only do we talk more loudly in noisy situations, we also tend to “lean in” more towards the speaker in order to hear better.

    1. There’s also a correlation between loudness and stupidity.

    1. Lol; CNN EXPOSED !!!

      *FAKE NEWS* and SUPPORTER’S of Bill Gates that said he wants to use VACCINES for DEPOPULATION !!

      *LISTEN TO BILL GATES SAY IT HIMSELF* !!

      I don’t like the song at the end of the video; however, the rest of the video proves the POINT !!!

  6. Although I haven’t flown in this century nor have I been on a cruise since I was in the Navy I don’t understand why Trump bailed out the airlines and the cruise lines… Did he have an ulterior motive?

    1. @J P Toadie Lickspittles with delusions of grandeur always kowtow to those even more loathsome than themselves , it has always been the way … btw , has there ever been a society more common , with less social grace and couth than the goober masses of the US of A ?

    2. Follow the money: look at everyone’s share portfolios, if you can: everyone from Trumpoleon Bonespurt to the Trumpisticans and corporate Democrats, and I’m sure you will find a satisfactory reason why these poor millionaires decided on assisted packages for airlines and foreign registered cruise companies.

    3. J P – I find it fascinating that Trump supporters think everyone else is brainwashed when their arguments consist of propaganda from Trump’s mouth, faux news, and sources they can’t even track the information back to. You’ll believe anything. Congress/ senate wrote and passed the stimulus bill— the same ones who bailed out the banks in 2008- yes, Moscow Mitch and his cronies too. Trump just had his name put on the checks so stupid people would think it came from him- it didn’t – those are OUR federal tax dollars we pay every year (the fed tax dollars trump never paid and is trying to hide from us right now- familiar with that Supreme Court case). Flight shut down from China is a joke when flights from Europe were coming in with tens of thousands- and yes covid-19. He golfed all Jan, feb, March while being warned over and over from experts- and he called it a hoax. He fought with governors who weren’t “nice” to him and withheld medical equipment that can save lives. He pushed hydroxychloriquine because he has part ownership in a company that sales the drug- with no proof it works. He and Faux news tell you to go back to work while they’re still working from home. They’ll risk your life for the economy, but not theirs. Wake up. Trump is creating the deep state. But none of this will mean anything to you because you only want what supports your outlandish theories. My advice is look around you and see who agrees with you. If it is the experts in their fields, the educated, and most of the world, you’re probably on the right side. If it is hate groups, racists, and uneducated, you’re probably the one that is being brainwashed. If you can’t site a reputable source, your information isn’t worth anything.

  7. Common sense go outside on a cold winter day breathe deep and expel see how far your breath goes in that heat vapor..enough said.

    1. @xaenon Whats to question about my narrative of being halfway on a 30 year mortgage?
      I moved into a 500′ house on 7 acres in 1995
      Its NOW a 1600 foot house and whether you believe I shed holy water (sweat) building it is IRRELEVANT!!!

      Life goes ON!! And so do the bills!!
      And if you default, the bank throws you to the street!!

      HIDE if you want like a la la sissypants.
      Your life.

      But DONT TREAD ON ME mother hubber!!!!!😡

    2. @Runner Girl You know something funny? I feel the same way about vaginas!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣They truly REEK and I can smell one a mile away. Why do you think perfume was invented????
      Men put up with it, but dont kid yourself. You know that thing is nasty.

      It all boils down to dont tread on MY life being a smoker, and I wont run around bringing up how NASTY a girls cootch smells.

      Its about equal RESPECT……lol.

    3. @Ralph Macchiato Well, thank YOU for understanding its a CHOICE here.

      All the men with big floppy va jay jays can hide in a corner in moms basement as long as they want.
      My dear momma is dead.
      I got NOWHERE to go and I will lose what I SLAVED OVER for 15 years if I dont work.

      And I prefer DEATH to loss of the right to work.
      I am CERTAIN I will default, and end up homeless if I do NOT work.

      So those who WANT TO HIDE and wait for a Vaccine…..knock yourselves out.

      I CANNOT wait, what, they said 18 months.
      And even THEN it may NOT work and may cause some bad stuff TO YOU.
      But go AHEAD.
      HIDE

      And know your forefathers are rolling in their graves at your idea that life can be “started over” like a dead life on X-box!!!!

      The whole WORD Social distancing is a 2020 INVENTION in the first place.
      It is NOT based on a single proven study…..making it a JOKE.

    1. @SouthSide Chicago Your argument has a faulty premise; when you postulated “of the population”, are you referring to our entire United States population?

      If you are going to talk about the death rate percentage, shouldn’t you refer only to those who have been infected and then do the math as to what percentage died?

      And if you are going to factor in the entire United States population, shouldn’t you again refer to what percentage of (our entire) US population has been infected ?

      Which is well over a million, and over 80,000 dead, that’s a little higher than your “0.03” isn’t it?

      Then you have to factor in increased frequency of transmission, and all the variables of conduits, to see how it impacts the curve, don’t you ?

    2. @Thomas Chrombly You don’t get an economy when you don’t have people to fill job position’s. The more sick and dead the less economy. It’s an easy 1+1=2 equation. All ya gotta have is a brain cell to think.

    3. @Elmo Green Would you say that 65+ is the average age of workers in the USA or the average age of retirees in the USA? Because 80% of deaths is 65 and up. Working age people are barely affected by COVID-19. This is why Sweden’s model makes the best sense. Isolate the elderly and those with serious health problems. Everyone else continue as usual.

  8. Sounds like teachers are going to have a real problem in the school cafeteria in a couple of months.

    1. I’m a high school English teacher. I must admit some anxiousness because all of his examples!

    2. I was thinking an indoor theater sing along like Mama Mia was the worst case example, but now that you mentioned School cafeterias….

    3. @Michelle Burkholder I was scared to death for my grandchildren, one of whom has asthma, and that they’d bring it home to their parents – one of whom has an autoimmune disease and one who has diabetes. Thankfully they live in Oregon, where schools probably won’t reopen in September.

    4. Fortunately school is out here until August, slightly more than a few months. My son is a teacher. Biology actually.

  9. One thing this pandemic has shown to me is just how incredibly stupid most people in America really are. How sad.

    1. @James Elliott *I filled up your dish bowl with all your triggered tears! Drink up biyatch* 🐕💧

  10. Avoid enclosed space, a lot of people, loud talking, poor air flow. Sounds like the biologist is describing school classrooms. That’s not good.

    1. @Brent Hollett Very true about workplaces being just as dangerous. My fear with schools is kids, especially younger elementary age children, are more adapt to forgo proper hygiene and distancing guidelines. It’s why other respiratory illnesses, as well as things like lice, already have proven how easily they spread in school environments. Some of this can be mitigated by teachers explaining and stressing to the kids the need to follow these however kids are quick to forget something that doesn’t come naturally to them and no teacher can have her constant attention on every single student in her class.

    2. @Brent Hollett No. What I address in your comment was the erroneous idea that “children are more resistant to the infection and less likely to pass it on”. Untrue. I did not address your comment on cubicle farms.

    3. @Carolinagirl1028 Completely agree. We have two – 6 and 8 – and I feel sorry for any teacher who has to corral 25 or 30 of them at one time, let alone track hand washings, maybe face masks, sanitizers and trying to run around spraying and wiping down door knobs, desks and other surfaces. Oh. My. God.

      And that’s before we get to the part where kids, especially elementary levels, are walking, talking germ factories on their best day. LOL.

    4. @Brent Hollett both school and work are a danger this virus spreads fast and easy their is no need to put kids in harm when we don’t have to

    5. Kid behaviors increase the risks. They lack the impulse control of adults. They yell, they round around, they touch each other. Adults can try to teach them to ‘curb their enthusiasm ” but it only works to a limited degree. So yes, schools are more dangerous.

  11. The protesters are really putting themselves and others at risk, especially the indoor protest, all that yelling, getting worked up, breathing harder… 😩😱😟

    1. I’m a Trump supporter and I agree with you . Personally I wouldn’t want to be there.

    2. @Dr Johnson Hungwell Why do you still support a lying science denier? He’s proven that he isn’t equipped to react to anything that doesn’t benefit Donald Trump.

    1. Another Citizen You mean we’re real Americans are ? Non Americans are definitely not welcome. That would be democrats !!

  12. You are missing the Dotard’ office where hundreds are infected because they ran short on disinfectant.
