And doctors are still begging for personal protective equipment. A day after the White House projected 240,000 coronavirus deaths as a best-case scenario, is the federal government moving any faster?

Citizens, Local Officials 'Begging' For Stronger Federal Government Response On COVID-19 | MSNBC
*CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENCT MISMANAGEMENT*
This is NOT negligence nor incompetence. This is INTENTIONAL!
Yes iam thinking on line petition iam a Democrat and very discouraged at my partys response to all this.
When I was ur age we got paid .25 and made our own ppe out of leaves bamboo and tape. Put on your bootstraps.
Mass negligent homicide for personal profit.
GOD DA. M RIGHT ON
We spend trillions on wars, but we cant provide PPE to healthcare workers
War plays great on FOXNEWS.
i think its becouse USA has a huge infrastructure on army side stuff but not on PPE
Many of the key personal protective equipment items healthcare workers need are Chinese in origin. According to the Peterson Institute for International Economics, roughly half of the PPE items the U.S. imports come from China, and the percentages are much higher for some items: 70 percent of mouth-nose protective equipment and 57 percent of goggles and visors. Additionally, 45 percent of protective garments and 39 percent of gloves the U.S. imports come from China.
Because America wanted this to happen they will stop it when they get ready
We have more missiles than PPE.
I hope a LOT of government goes to jail for this.
@Mike S That was the old paradigm. Now we have Trump, Barr, Durham, New FBI and CIA personnel.
And don’t confuse silence with inaction – no leaks from these people.
Jail? No jail is too easy for them at this point.
King Ugly why???? China created the virus.
King Ugly they won’t because we will not demand it. We need to overthrow the current government.
Coronavirus is being used by the powers that be to practice the whole world how to learn to obey the government and authority in preparation for the fulfillment of biblical prophecy in Revelation 13 wherein the whole world will be forced to worship the beast and his image.. Covid must be used to create a global calamity in order to create chaos and then use the solution they already mapped out for the whole world to follow in order to achieve the main goal towards one world govt. The world needs to wake up. The stage is being set. Everyone must prepare. Read the Bible yourself and be enlightened. More info here https://youtu.be/cRbHV4e0pAc
Trump: I don’t take responsibility at all
J M M oh yeah a billionaire a loser
Grow up your state is doing nothing for you now everyone what’s to cry for the federal government’s help
Save the rich!!!!
Maybe we can all hide out at one of Bernie’s vacation homes I mean socialism is sharing?
It’s like he wants us to do him like Mussolini
Trump is helping his voters in red states and backstabbing blue states that hate him .
So the hospital ship, thousands of ventilators, hundreds of engineers, thousands if not millions of masks, hundred if not thousands of ambulances to NYC alone does not count? How about the same for California? Look, it’s not perfect or enough, but just standing on the sidelines and critizing based on political parties is absurd on times like this, plus misleading for you or MSNBC.
What a ridiculous tactic from a ridiculous man! Red people live in blue states and vice versa. MAGA folks, how ya feeling about your man now? How ya gonna feel when you catch the virus 🦠 and lay there in your bed, waiting for the goon to make your life great again? Dumb! That how! But, uh oh, it’s too late. You’re dying now. I guess greed, hate and selfishness are not traits you need in the time of a pandemic.
Craig Crawford you’re a hoax
Gabriel Garcia I believe nurses and doctors
I’m putting that dumpster fire out in November 🧢
if we live through this we need to vote them all out of office then make them all answer for there crimes
MSNBC, lie to you wake up!!
Why didn’t you vote foe communist, they can centralize everything effectively, including what you want to say
Akela DeWolf I’m putting that dumpster fire out in November 🧢
John Yeager vote by mail
I used to think that until I realized the election process is completely rigged. We have no constitutional republic. It is history. We are ruled by the biggest mob in history.
Who is running this country, anyway?
—Homer Simpson?
I DIDN’T REALIZE WE HAD SO MANY USELESS BRAINDEAD IDIOTS.
No, it’s the tribe that rules the entire world.
Vladimir Putin.
It’s more like Montgomery Burns. This man is heartless
@the watcher better then any Democrat.
Unfortunately Americans will learn hard way why all Trump’s businesses failed. Complete Incompetence.
@Kamil Krawczak U being PLAYED or PAID?.
@Doc Tom Not like you I have job. I get paid.
@Kamil Krawczak Really ? That’s so special. Indulge me: By Who, For What?
@Doc Tom Soros, CNN and Clinton Foundation paying well. I’m getting 50k just to post comments. Easy job man. I heard that Freemasons and Iliminati pays better.
@Kamil Krawczak Boy, are you hosing them. Keep it up. I really believe you. Really. Really really.
Gross incompetence at the cost of human lives….step down so others will live.
So install a Democrat who didn’t want the China and EU travel bans? Yeah great idea.
@Cromwell Brasenose i love trump but he did react way too slow im sorry To say this
@Charles Leger You mean just like every leader in the world? Based on their opposition to travel bans I see no evidence that the Dems would not have been much worse.
@Cromwell Brasenose And how did that travel ban work out for you?
@Elma Robberts Incredibly helpful. The nation would have lost tens of thousands more people to the virus if POTUS had not acted so fast.
Now I find 2 places where American is really first in the whole world: COV-19 infection, and shamelessness of its politicians.
@shade38211 …I agree.
@Gary Ray Cardoso a Hispanic worshipping trump? Dear Lord your poor family must feel so proud .Oh you better hurry up and come for me , I’m old
@felicity woodruffe lol you’re an uninformed mess…
@Gary Ray Cardoso at least I’m not a bigot, a racist, a liar, a cheat, an adulterer, a thief or a liar so I guess there’s hope for me yet xx
There are many other countries in the world that also have shakey governments, many of them are brutal year round.
Very sad to come to the conclusion that parts of the United States are about to go down – because of mismanagement.
Never thought that this was possible.
Wolfgang Becher it’s definitely always been possible. We just been too busy trying to make a living while the federal government screws around
You’re genuinely insane if you think the administration s doing a great job. I haven’t seen this botched a response since Bush and Hurricane Katrina.
@FAVES Online your faith that attacks science and reason trying to make reason out of lies i pity you open your eyes god is only as real as the people who worship it, the rest of the world sees this for what it is rather than using religion as a way to run away from your fears and problems just like all the others
@Austin Myers I wasn’t addressing you. Hence the statement right up front “For Christians only”. As an unbeliever this has absolutely nothing to do with you whatsoever.
Shane Frasier You can’t see anything if you keep watching the Fake news mainstream media.
We aren’t shut down because of the Coronavirus.
What in the world are people thinking?
Are you ready for this? The swine flu outbreak in this country in 2009 and 2010, 60 million Americans were infected, 18,000 died. Do you remember?
Do you know how many people were hospitalized in 2009-2010 with the swine flu? Three hundred thousand were hospitalized. So 60 million people infected, 300,000 hospitalized.
There wasn’t any media panic. It was treated as a health issue from top to bottom. The numbers with the coronavirus are not even close. They are barely a fraction of a percentage compared to the swine flu.
How did we ever survive 60 million infected with the swine flu? But we did to the point that hardly anybody remembers it. And that’s just 10 years ago, 300,000 hospitalized. So we overcame it. This is gonna end, it’s gonna pass.
The one big difference is Obama was president and he didn’t acknowledge it for months. We didn’t close anything and grocery stores still sold ham and pork.
He received nothing but positive media coverage.
@FAVES Online As a Christian I disagree this is not the end times. This is not final judgment. It’s a plague. Like the many that have come before it. Pray, but wash your hands before and after, help God save you.
@jb pb over 20,000 Americans have died because of COVID19…and we r in the infant stages of the infection. This isnt a fake virus little guy.
And yet people on that podium keep saying, thank you Mr President for your leadership. I can’t watch that Clown show anymore. 😨
No one gets to the podium unless they can crank one out to a photo of Trump….the White House doesn’t have a shortage of toilet paper.
Christina Watson Dr. Birx is one of them.
Relax. This is all fake news you are letting it influence you. No one is holding back respirators because of their political beliefs. We are overwhelmed and the 50 million illegal immigrants who compete with you for supplies t
hat were given amnesty doesnt help.
I stopped 2 weeks ago. I check in with my president governor Coumo daily.
News agencies should stop televising these propaganda filled, misdirection’s and just report the facts, before more people die, at the direction of this task force.
This is what happens when you have an incompetent government AND no plan of action. Pitiful! 😡
Thank you! Someone with a smart mind✊ I’ve never in my life voted for this madness. People in america are allowing this to happened on our home. Stupid people just gotta learn out the hard way. While smart people try to live & get away from it
I hope the American people remember all this on November 3, 2020, when they’re standing at the ballot box . . .
If they’re alive.
@Pipe Tunes He will get another 4 years. Brace yourself.
Trump approval rating is up 65% the democrats are going to whine at election day saying that they was disenfranchised because of this pandemic..this will give material to the stupid Rachel Madcow show to spew he s&$t for another 3 years
@Pipe Tunes Don’t be sure. Election is not won till it is announced. Blue Tsunami needs to raise, if people say ‘I don’t like Joe or I don’t like Berine’ … Blah is not left enough .. blah not center enough … and stay home, then you have 2014 repeat. People got to raise, campaign, make the case and win. Blue should stop shooting at each other, and act like a double barrel gun. The what you say will happen.
For Christians only. God is protecting children and infants during this final warning judgment. He has removed idols of money, rampant sexual immorality, clubs, bars, sports entertainment. New York is being hit very hard in this warning judgement for promoting the murder of the innocent via abortion and infanticide. The parades all cancelled and pride brought low and humbles. Pure evil and wickedness brought the world wide judgment of God as he is perfectly just and merciful waiting for people to repent of their murders (abortion) and wickedness. At some point which is now God must judge because he is just. He designed this judgement as a warning in which children and infants would not be harmed and primarily those that have lived full lives would be taken, so that people will know and reflect on their own mortatlity and turn back to God. This was God’s final act of love and mercy for people to have all of their idols they ignored God for removed and to return to him. God gave them alone time to reflect on their own fragileness of life and their own mortality. God gives them their very next breath on his planet. True Christians be very, very encouraged. We go home soon by rapture. Pray for those that will be left behind in the tribulation. Jesus will be their ONLY hope. What’s coming will cause men’s hearts to literally fail them for fear. It will make Coronavirus look like a cold sniffle at a summer picnic. The book of Revelation in scripture has begun. John 3:16-18 . Urgently pass it on.
I will and I will vote Trump.
I know that we are on our own. I decided to keep my family home. I decided to stay in place. I am not waiting for me government to tell me what to do. I decided to wear a bandana, folded, as a mask every time I go to the store.
Yes. We have to protect our families and ourselves. Our Government wont.
The illegitimate pres. is a money hungry revenge spewing, insane criminal!!!
Backed by the same lackeys in administration and Repubs in office.
Good job. And thank you.
You can make a face shield more protective than a mask comfortable and keeo it clean alcohol when you leave the store u tube videos cheap to make SODA bottle 2 liter .The virus can live on surfaces use caution keep hands off the face part j made 2 already 1 .80 total cost use when around people.
Help goes to “RED” states first that are not even requesting supplies!😫
wait till they use voter registration records to decide who gets a ventilator.
Our country has no leadership at the Federal level. This is the most corrupt and incompetent Administration in American History.
Well said
10 lashes for the queers for getting him onto the seat when this inbred stated he never ran for politics that should have been a red flag
In China, when outbreak came, more than 10 provinces sent 40,000 medical staffs and millions of equipments to Wuhan within a week. Then the people there took 2 months to nail it. But the situation seems more complicated in US.
xu Ben of course its complicated. It doesn’t involve the opportunity to make money lol.
The fact that we have to fight other states for medical supplies and the administration is allowing it shows the lack of care for its people.
Capitalism savage
