Demand For Virus Testing Overwhelms South Florida Sites | MSNBC

  1. Gee maybe if they had followed the rules setup by the CDC, and executed by NJ, NY, MA, etc the situation wouldn’t be so bad. So in a nutshell #sorrynotsorry Florida. Idiots.

    1. Media is doing an outstanding job of scaring the public! Florida has 4276 dead out of 282,000 cases (if this # is true) that is 1.51 % of cases are dying, this number is dropping from the 4.3 % national avg. Also, 4276 dead out of 21.48 Million population = 0.02% dying. This is no reason to not open schools & shut down again! I guess the heckler is rich and can afford to not work unlike all the healthy people that need to make a living! So California has been locked down the worst out of any BLUE state and had the tightest MASK policy too. Why are there “CASES” going up exactly the same as Red States that didn’t do any of that? Is it inevitable the Virus will spread no matter what? Should the HEALTHY people be allowed to make a living? I guess we have to take some risks & accept the very low death rate of about 0.02 % of the population. Just like we do with Cancer, heart disease, accidents, etc.!

    2. @Pam Deshane you are so full of trump Republican s***…
      Not mentioned is the fact that many survivors of this virus end up with brain injury, amputations of arms and legs, lung damage, kidney disease, Etc..
      Death is not the only factor in Catching this virus a******..
      Do you believe that all the people that are going into hospitals are just going for the fun of it? And what is it all costing NOW AND IN THE FUTURS…? And I’ll gladly take my chances being exposed to a cancer patient and catching cancer that I will because of the Coronavirus…
      IDIOTS ABOUND and you definitely are one of them…

    3. @Pam Deshane Allow me to address your hogwash comment above. Using the latest numbers from Worldometers ..
      Florida total cases 291,629 – Florida active cases 253,460 = 38,169 closed cases
      Florida deaths from coronavirus 4,409
      4,409 divided by 38,169 = 11.55% death rate
      check the math yourself .. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

    4. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 What is your point are are you just crying about Trump’s bad ratings? Well, maybe his show sucks (hint: it does).

    5. @SED What is your point in posting this? To suggest masks do or don’t work? Every country that DOES NOT have Corona cases or deaths anywhere near as high as the USA invested in a mandate to always wear masks until the virus is stamped out. Even a shithole country like Vietnam has less cases than we do and ZERO deaths because of masks.

    1. This is an overblown Fake News story. Sorry, but Slow Joe will lose Florida no matter how much the MSM tries to help him.

    1. *the Disparate treatment of Donald Trump compared to Hillary, is Stunning*
      in a FAKE Russian Collusion Claim there were 3,600 Subpoenas,

      500 Search Warrants, investigations affecting 30 countries,

      500 Witnesses Questioned, 18 Lawyers, 40 FBI investigators,

      Criminal Grand Juries and Panels, the President himself handed over

      1.4 million Documents, and Never Claimed Executive Privilege.

      He was HARASSED, THREATENED, PERSECUTED, HOUNDED,

      TORMENTED, INSULTED, and PROVOKED.

      His family the same.

      and Comey dares to show his face in Public?

      and now Bill Barr is held in Contempt, in an effort to Muddy Up

      Barr and his investigation?

    2. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 tiny, fearful men hate strong women. They’d do anything to keep her out of power. it says far more about them than it ever did about Hillary, who would have made a terrific president.

    1. Trump in April: China tried to hide the extent of their outbreak. Bad China!!
      Trump in June: We need to slow or stop testing so the numbers don’t look so bad for ME!
      (fun fact: there are fewer home fires when you get rid of the smoke alarms) /sarc

    1. Nothing to do with the 1000’s of “peaceful protesters”? Media is doing an outstanding job of scaring the public! Florida has 4276 dead out of 282,000 cases (if this # is true) that is 1.51 % of cases are dying, this number is dropping from the 4.3 % national avg. Also, 4276 dead out of 21.48 Million population = 0.02% dying. This is no reason to not open schools & shut down again! I guess the heckler is rich and can afford to not work unlike all the healthy people that need to make a living! So California has been locked down the worst out of any BLUE state and had the tightest MASK policy too. Why are there “CASES” going up exactly the same as Red States that didn’t do any of that? Is it inevitable the Virus will spread no matter what? Should the HEALTHY people be allowed to make a living? I guess we have to take some risks & accept the very low death rate of about 0.02 % of the population. Just like we do with Cancer, heart disease, accidents, etc.!

    1. @JERRY RICHARDSON Good come back with sound reasoning! Stop this democratic fear mongering! Arizona: population 7.3 Million. 2339 supposed Cv19 deaths and 128,000 supposed “CASES”, So, Death rate per cases = 1.82% way below the 4.3% national average. 2339 dead in 7.3 mil = 0.032% of population dying from Cv19. These numbers are no reason NOT to open schools or to shut down people from making a living! How many will die due to more LOCK DOWNS? This will be worse than these numbers . GET WOKE!

    2. Trump in April: China tried to hide the extent of their outbreak. Bad China!!
      Trump in June: We need to slow or stop testing so the numbers don’t look so bad for ME!
      (fun fact: there are fewer teen pregnancies when you don’t test for them)

    3. @M.C. Blackwell It’s like saying there would be fewer house fires if you got rid of all the smoke alarms. No, you would end up with more burned homes because the fire department would get there too late to make much difference.

    4. @surely you joke, mein failüre oh, I meant I was just going to repeat his quote “anybody that wants a test can get one.” Sorry for the confusion

  2. If only Donnie spent half as much effort fighting Covid-19 as he has hiding his taxes…

    1. Who cares about Taxes, you MORON! Media is doing an outstanding job of scaring the public! Florida has 4276 dead out of 282,000 cases (if this # is true) that is 1.51 % of cases are dying, this number is dropping from the 4.3 % national avg. Also, 4276 dead out of 21.48 Million population = 0.02% dying. This is no reason to not open schools & shut down again! I guess the heckler is rich and can afford to not work unlike all the healthy people that need to make a living!

I guess we have to take some risks & accept the very low death rate of about 0.02 % of the population. Just like we do with Cancer, heart disease, accidents, etc.!

    2. @Pam Deshane Yeah, 15 cases going to zero, and who cares about a few thousand Floridians anyway.

  3. I thought everyone who wants a test gets a test? I thought it would be gone when the weather warmed up? I thought we defeated Corona? I thought we’re handling this pandemic better than any other nation in the world? I thought this pandemic was a hoax? No wonder the Republicans need a scapegoat.

    1. @Anna R parents separated themselves from children We try to verify coyotes are not posing as parents! Aborted babies ripped from the womb is great with you though rite? HYPOCRITES

  4. Terrorism has killed less Americans than Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
    Should Donald Trump be put in Guantanamo Bay for interrogation?

    1. @Wendy’s Garden it’s first come first serve so you better get down to gitmo while the gettin’s good.

    2. @USS Pandumbic possibly be used as a field hospital for all the coronavirus victims washing ashore on Trump’s private beach

    3. @Pandemix Box – It will take a whole lotta disinfecting, cleaning & pest control. What lurks in there right now is a danger to human life.

  5. If only someone would have TOLD them this would happen if they opened up too soon, but…………..oh wait………..Nevermind. 🙂

  6. So trump lied at Tulsa he said slow the testing down oh dear what happened Donnie was that another lie debunked

  7. Remember when t’rump said “Everyone who wants a test can get a test”?
    How’s that going? 🤔😆😅😂🤣

    1. The white house had one of those high-speed testing machines installed there. Trump was speaking for himself and his aides only when he said that people can get tests anytime they want. The rest of us clearly can’t get tests anytime 🙁

  8. Republicans aren’t satisfied with the dumbest president. Now they are competing for dumbest governor. I’m betting on Florida.

  9. “Anybody who needs a test, can have a test”
    “The virus will disappear when the weather gets warm”
    We are in a heat wave, here in the South
