    1. @HSam97 I’ve been looking into that, but I’ve seem multiple articles from actual news sites saying that people who don’t file their own taxes just aren’t getting a check. Much like kids who are 17 or over and not eligible for it. Is that not correct? It’s really hard finding consistent information about this.

    2. @It’s Just Milk I Swear I have done significant research into it. Those who are claimed on taxes (as I can be, because technically I am a dependent on my grandmother while caring for her) are excluded. I’ve looked into it multiple times and there is a lot of conflicting information about it, but the most recent thing I saw released by the IRS is that I just don’t qualify. Do you have something from an actual source that says I do?

    3. @Pascal you didn’t say in your post that you were a dependent, which is the only thing that would disqualify you from receiving the stimulus.

    4. It’s Just Milk I Swear I know, I understand what disqualifies me, I was stating that I didn’t qualify due to circumstance. It sucks, but right now I can’t change the circumstances because I won’t abandon my disabled grandmother. Especially not now with care facilities being hit so hard by this.

    1. @I love America And resent seeing it stolen LOL. You people love politics so much. Can’t even think without it.

    2. @Jeff Smith The term is “dumbed down”, and it is exactly what YOU are, because you actually believe in mainstream media!

    1. That and some are comparing it to the Vietnam War!!! I don’t like those people….a lot#&+-&:;!?@##:!&_

    2. We spent 7 trillions killing billions of people in Iraq and Afghanistan because Saudi Arabia crashed planes into buildings killing a few thousand Americans.

  1. 4:02 “fully locked down” my mom and brother still working, I’ve gone to the store twice this week, whenever I look outside there is tons of people, and I live in Montana, I’m thinking it must be worse in the more populated states.

    1. @ Democrat killed…..

      You have a pathetic thoughts. You are thinking about politics?? Shame on you…

    2. @LoyalT1987 bro what? everything’s been closed down in jax lol the beaches just reopened yesterday and only for certain times of the day. if you’ve been on the road at all during what used to be rush hour, you’ll notice there’s hardly any cars on the road. im really surprised you say you live in jax and dont notice a difference

    3. Washington state, Eatonville to be exact same here. I am from a small town near Mt. Rainer, HAD to go to a Dr. Appt in Tacoma, I was shocked! I had been following “stay at home” order. Apparently I am not the norm. Traffic a little lighter but people are out and about Wal-Mart parking lots full, Malls empty the are closed, people in parks ETC. I live at a fishing resort we turn people away daily no fishing no boating but they did open camping and people are coming WOW I don’t leave house even to sit on porch on weekends have face mask on always other people not so much

    4. @Name I didn’t say I didn’t notice a difference. There’s clearly a difference. But people are trying to make it seem like this lockdown has led to a huge decrease in people out and about, and that’s not the case at all. There may not be as many people, but there are still a lot by any measure.

  2. Yesss!! Yes to everything. Also, disappointed 🙁 in Dr. Phil. I kinda liked him. I lose faith in humanity every day. Probably zero faith in it at this point.

    Edit: I love how you guys took the time to raise my belief in humanity and (I assume) to make my day better. I have some faith now but I need to be careful. I do not want to be disappointed again.

    1. Don’t go there ..far more good happens every day!!! It’s just that good news doesn’t sell …stay away from the “news” …it’s not what you think it is!!! It is entertainment….a business!!! The one and only purpose of a business is what???? $$$$$…. They sell fear and worry…and more fear!!!
      Always look on the bright side of life…. imagine whistling!!!!

    2. Don’t lose faith in humanity. Help hold those to account who spread misinformation and disinformation like weapons.

    3. I have friends in several hospitals saying that the news is lying about most of it
      The majority of people that are dying have already ailments and older the majority over 60 years old they don’t tell you that

    1. I don’t know where you are getting that number but it is completely wrong. There is a huge number of Americans who are considered essential, rightfully or not, that are keeping the country running without the luxury of sitting at home in their PJs waiting for this to be over.

      What we have now is not even close to an actual “shutdown”. It is way too late for that, that would have needed to happen completely for at least a two week period to have any chance of controlling this.

      Because of the totally inept way this was handled by all of the governments involved, we are now just at the point where all that can be done is to continue to flatten the curve. Flatten it so that when it comes time for you or someone you know to need a hospital bed, there will be one.

    1. You and I both, arrogant show off, hungry hippo for money, so he doesn’t pay taxes, he licks his boots.

    2. It’s funny because he won’t give into fear that people bash dr Phil but not this assclown reporter

  3. I’d rather listen to Doc Antle the mythical science doctor from tiger king than listen to Dr Phil.

    1. I concur! I would rather listen to Dr. Dolittle, Dr. Suess, Doc Martin, Dr. House, Dr. Kildare, or Dr. Henry Fookin Higgins than listen to Dr. Phil.

  4. Dr. Phil cares more about money then his own grandkids if hes willing to send them to school during a pandemic

    1. WickedMan999 , He wouldn’t send his and he probably wouldn’t even go out himself. He’s selfish , bald and annoying it’s all about money.

    2. He, like the top 10% ers would send everyone else’s kids to school. Not their own. It’s a depopulation ploy.

    3. He’s human garbage a waste of air space that needs to be put in his place. He needs to be thrown into a room with covid 19 patients.

  5. This is what happens when a large segment of the populace no longer are scientifically literate and are in fact, anti-science.

    1. @No Reply Email Yes, one wonders about moving forward when tribal interests replace science, traditional morality, and hard-won institutions.

    2. @JRG2733 When what will be accepted as facts depends on your politics, both discussion and compromise become less and less possible. Discussion and compromise are the lifeblood of both civil society and representative government.

    3. @No Reply Email There is politics, and there is tribal racial hate and fear that are brought into politics by those who have no ideas or principles but only desire political power.

    4. Maybe. But you’re also not accounting for the fact that some people would rather not live in fear, accept that death is inevitable, and are OK with the consequences. We allow people to take their lives into their own hands all the time. If those people want to risk it, let them. Every time someone gets behind the wheel of a car, they risk their lives and the lives of others.

    5. @LoyalT1987 The argument of “exposing others to a virus” == “someone gets behind the wheel of a car” is a false equivalency.

  6. This is well presented. Factual and spoken with a sense of urgency. Who don’t HEAR, will always feel!

  7. Wait so they don’t see that the deaths that have happened are just in the short time span of a month?

    1. That would destroy their talking point, Shannon. The DEATHS occured over the month, bassman. The DEATH rate exploded. Durr….

    2. @BassMan Strikes The more people have it, the higher the chances are of a person getting it say the 2nd time or their 3rd or even 5th. Every time they get a it, their chances of dying improve.

    3. No no one sees the deaths because the fear is made to control you. 170000 deaths WW when we have 3 billion people !? Do the math

    4. The friends and relatives of the dead people see them. So do others dying from the disease. And nurses, doctors, neighbors, ambulance drivers, cops, and gravediggers. Maybe you game boiz don’t see the dead. But you will, eventually. Do the math. The voters will Definitely see the dead. Like when Johnson and Nixon killed off tens of thousands of game-boi-aged boiz. Eventually people noticed. You’d see the dead if you were drafted into a war, for sure. Maybe we should bring back conscription. Hardly anyone died in the vietnam war.

  8. All I hear them say is, “so what if people are dying!” Really? You don’t care that your population is fading, when they don’t have to?

  9. Heartless comparisons!!!!!! It is all about the LOVE of money. Employers offer no protection but threaten to fire people.

    1. Renee Clay both of you get a room. It’s about people’s futures. Protection from what? You are more likely to get hit by a car than covid 19 death.

    1. Jay Thomas they still collate the data per year so it might be start and end of 2 seasons, and this is typically cause the warm weather usually suppresses cold/flus. The high climb in mortality of this virus outmatches any flu in recent history.

  10. I love how Tucker Carlson quoted THE CDC for his numbers, but this guy quotes something called “The New Atlantis”

    Right I’ll stick with the CDC

    1. U.S.S. Scambalam only..? Plus with the world pretty much on hold? I hope that’s sarcasm. The fact that we’ve shut most of the country down and still lost that many people that fast is devastating.

    2. @Matthew Morris considering most of those people are in three or four major hotspots, especially New York (surprise surprise) its actually not that devastating. still horrible, but not devastating

    3. Apparently whatever comment I originally responded to has been deleted. Something about numbers of dead……

  11. Thank you for this…its the facts. That’s all I need. My house will be staying in while the reopening is happening…and watching
