Chris Hayes On Whether We Can Battle The Virus And Allow Normal Life To Continue | All In | MSNBC

  1. I’m a doctor from SF and cannot, in good conscience, maintain my silence. They are censoring us and preventing the release of the following information:

    1. Masks DO protect. It is only that we have run out here in the US. The gold standard is N95. But any mask can provide some form of protection
    2. Testing criteria is relaxed now for everyone. But no test kits are available now so don’t rush over to test. Call up your hospital first if they have test kits. We are refusing to buy Chinese test kits approved by WHO just because that would mean a humiliating acceptance from Trump that China produces superior goods, in larger numbers at a fraction of the price than America.
    3. President Trump and his close advisors/family may be infected after contact with Bolsonaro’s commerce secretary, resulting in test kits being diverted away from hospitals to test them and their families first.
    4. News reports are censoring any mention of China’s successful measures at containing the virus. If you want to find out how to defeat and contain the virus in a SIZEABLE country (pop>100 million), read WHO Task Force in China Report by Dr Bruce Aylward. This report has been pushed down search algorithms to conceal the truth. Smaller countries like Singapore/ Korea are inadequate examples (but still useful)
    5. If you think the problem of corrupt government will end just because Trump is voted out, you are wrong. The media is the greatest influencer of elections, and they are not democratic, but owned by Oligarchs that push their own agenda. They distract the people with foreign threats while denying democratic elections to select their own CEOs/ editors. They do not answer to any court for slander or biased reporting or telling lies/ misrepresenting facts. The key to democratic reform here is democratisation of our corrupt media companies.
    Spread the word people and protect yourselves and your family. Be responsible and avoid large social gatherings.

    (I’m posting this on behalf of a whistleblower in SF whose identity cannot be revealed to protect him/her. This doctor is not Andrew Smith. Please do not get that doctor into trouble thank you.).

    1. There’s two types of whistleblowers. One type believes the seriousness and truth of their accusations is more important than their anonymity. The other type are usually disgruntled exaggerators. Anyone who would believe the latter’s hearsay before it can be substantiated is a boob.

    2. @Ceila Romero I AM Glad to say that Jesus Christ is with us never lose faith in our Lord and savior.

  2. Alex Jones is now hawking anti-Coronavirus toothpaste on his website. I guess that means he now qualifies for the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

    1. Mr. Precedent You want me to recap all of the unfulfilled speculation and paranoia that Hayes dishes out like his counterpart? His editorializing is not reporting. You need to know the difference. He is just another media celebrity that cherry-picks soundbites to confirm his audience’s beliefs. If Hayes’ narrative had any validity, Trump’s approval rating wouldn’t be in his favor.

    2. Mr. Precedent Are you kidding? Even a recent poll by CNN revealed a 45% approval rating among CNN’s viewership! That’s telling, because a similar CNN poll after Obama was in office for the same amount of time was only 47%! And CNN’s CEO admits they are anti-Trump. Apparently, their effort to discredit the President is not working as well as they thought. MSNBC is trying even harder—to the point that they are resorting to tabloid journalism.

    3. 15 days is the ‘quarantine’ for returning travelers exposed to China Virus.
      So after 30 days of ‘shut down’ allow things to come back on line.
      Keep international travel locked down for a year to let it burn itself out over seas…

      It’s possible that even worse disease will follow this First Strike. So make provisions and plans and build clinics to be prepared for the next Release of disease from China.

      Oh, and Alex Jones was saying a year ago that someone would try to disrupt the re-election of the president, stop people from voting, and push forward their Agenda 21 End Game… wow – spot on – he was right.

    4. That is not an accurate statement. Alex Jones has never claimed the toothpaste he sales, kills or even fights the coronavirus. A lot of the products he sales are sold on/at Amazon, Whole Foods, and other reputable sites. So, are they hucksters too?

    1. @COF Study That would mean something if there weren’t 30+ million infected with the flu each year… We have around 50,000 deaths due to flu each year yet for some reason people don’t freak out.

    2. Southern hemisphere has significantly less cases. This will likely slow down soon. But I believe we still need to remain cautious.

  3. “I think, importantly, what Obama did leave Trump is a global health infrastructure that we had set up informed by the lessons of the Ebola outbreak,” Ben Rhodes said before pointing to a National Security Council (NSC) pandemic directorate that was dismantled by the Trump administration in 2018.

    And what we did is set up, in the White House, … an office that was responsible for managing pandemics, managing global health threats that was shut down two years ago by President Trump.

    And when you don’t have an office like that, you don’t have dedicated people inside the White House who are ensuring that information is acted upon. When you see an outbreak in a place like Wuhan, China, you want people in the White House who are thinking about what needs to be done right away so that you don’t get behind the curve, which is what happened in this White House.

    You need a president who’s willing to hear bad news, willing to understand that they’re going to have to focus on something that they may have not intended to focus on. President trump clearly did not want to hear that bad news when he heard about the outbreak in coronavirus,”

    –Ben Rhodes, Former Deputy National Security Adviser under President Obama

    Like most Americans, Public health and national security experts shook their heads in disbelief when Trump said the coronavirus “came out of nowhere” and “blindsided the world.”

    Experts had been warning about the next pandemic for years and criticized the Trump administration’s decision in 2018 to dismantle a National Security Council directorate at the White House charged with preparing for WHEN, NOT if, another pandemic would hit the nation.

    The NSC directorate for global health and security and bio-defense survived the transition from President Obama to Trump in 2017.

    Trump’s elimination of the office suggested, along with his proposed budget cuts for the CDC, that he did not see or comprehend the threat of pandemics.

    “One year later I was mystified when the White House dissolved the office, leaving the country less prepared for pandemics like COVID-19,” Beth Cameron, the first director of the unit, wrote in an op-ed.

    She said the directorate was set up to be the “smoke alarm” and get ahead of emergencies and sound a warning at the earliest sign of fire — “all with the goal of avoiding a six-alarm fire.”

    1. @val sw Your TDS is shining bright! If you did not have a double standard you would know Obama waited for 1,000 Americans to die before calling it a emergency!

    2. U are Incorrect, Prez TRUMP did Not shut down the Office >> that was a Falsehood spread by the Manipulators in the Media, an arm of the DNC

    1. @SeaJay Oceans Trump was named co conspirator in a federal offense by his lawyer whos in jail right now for the same offense, if Trump wasn’t president hed already be arrested. Thats what believing trump gets you, sick with corona or in jail and a destroyed market.

    2. @Billy Anderson Greatest President Since Abraham Lincoln – Donald J. Trump Saving the Union ! USA ! USA ! USA !

    3. @DavidCAdams those numbers are directly from the CDC. 36-51 million flu’s each year… 22-55 thousand deaths. I know that seems strange because no one talks about it, but it is true.

  4. There needs to be a national quarantine now. Let’s not drag this thing out for another year trying to avoid the inevitable.

    1. Nationwide Lockdown is un-American. Sorry they don’t teach American history. Free movement of people, open spaces, the Great Frontier, the Great American Highways. Americans don’t like enclosures. We need disposal coveralls and masks for all and get back to work. There’s no other choice. What’s a national quarantine gonna do? This thing is airborne. It’s either trust citizens to circulate with suits or slowly turn into skeletons at the keyboard. Civilization isn’t gonna collpase because you don’t look cool in coveralls.https://www.fastcompany.com/90469200/this-coronavirus-suit-protects-you-inside-a-literal-bubble

    2. The human mind would never survive a national or global quarantine. Humans are social creatures cut-off society you cut off meaning an purpose. Who’s to really say these are interesting times.

    3. @gman 9276 I agree and in this day and age we have it a little better than before we do have ways to stay in contact with people I talk with my family on Skype since I have health issues that keep me inside while this is going on

    4. @Rancho El Bush Resorts
      That’s because its a serpent left labmade virus dropped with Chemtrail jets, sucker… Dropped from serpent left Chemtrail jets.

    1. Same here. The only thing that kept me going through chemo was the thought of living without pain again. Chemo damages all the organs, so now we survivors are at risk from this damned virus.

    2. Hang in there you’ll be fine, god is good. Just know this is just a tactical game of chess. It’s called the blame game. Were no one wants to take responsibility for there actions n point fingers at each other. There using this virus to cause fear/anxiety in society in order to suppress us. In times of hardship we need to come together as human beings not be greedy pigs who just want money in the end.

  5. We will NEVER go back to “NORMAL”, life of just 10 days ago is slipping into the rear-view mirror forever! The America that emerges from this will be VERY DIFFERENT, and not even close to what it was just days ago…

    1. What’s sad is watching the snowflakes and liberals and socialists going into sporting goods stores to buy firearms and watching them cry like a baby because they have to wait for there background check……….well you idiots made the laws. What happens if the food runs out anything runs out???? I guess the criminals with the guns will take what they want???? Is this why the left is trying to buy guns??? Live with it liberals!!!! You made the laws!!!!

    1. Comically Unstable my friend has CVD19. His son, mj watches this crap, figured he’d see it and let dad know
