    1. @Tom Servo I repeat, he’s fat and sweaty. I go through the same thing sometimes, even when it’s not hot out. I’m fat and sweaty.

    1. @noneofyourbusiness isaidit railroad crossing look out for the cars,can you spell that without any r’s

    2. @Sucker Free exactly. The flu is still a thing. For all we know he died of the regular flu.

    3. noneofyourbusiness isaidit

      A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

    4. Just goes to show how nasty and selfish people are. And I bet that person recovered. If you got a cough, don’t get on a bus be respectful to others health and wellbeing. So sorry this happened. 🙏

  1. Very sad, that this is going on and innocent people who are doing their job have to die as a result.

    1. The left talking heads are moist, rock hard, and orgasmic over this man made Gates foundation “crisis”

    2. Remember 9/11, people are still dying. They had to fight to get good & special healthcare funding & the whole world continues without even slowing down. It behoves, we that are left behind to make sure the people & their sacrifices are NEVER forgotten. That’s why we have to come together, we’re stronger united, than splintered. Put away the partisanship and care for each other, instead of living like it’s every man for himself. May everyone reading this be safe, you & your families. May God give the Dr’s wisdom to treat this scourge that is attacking our nation & this globe, and may we find our way back to our God.

    3. Employees especially working with the public directly should protect themselves properly at work. And not believe a shutdown and quarantine is all that’s needed.

    1. Who Knows Yes, let’s shut down the military. When another country decides to overrun us, let’s just all die.

    2. Sophie Robinson don’t waste your time this jack wagon is like the charismaniacs their down right giddy over this. Oh the loooooove Jesus and can’t wait to get yanked out, not biblical by the way, and are the last people who will actually do anything. Who Knows be grateful I can’t find you to give you the manners lesson you deserve.

    3. ​@Carol Mcfadden Hello stupid person like most Libbies are you not bright the acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly said the ship’s commander, Capt. Brett Crozier, who was ousted Thursday, “demonstrated extremely poor judgment” in the middle of a crisis by using email servers that were not secure and causing a media mess on what should have been an internal military response. Trump cannot fire him did not fire him the Navy did it on their own. Trump does not have half the power you idiots think he has.

    1. @Chuka Nweze It is his fault, isn’t it? I’m Canadian, but Trump’s response is literally the worse in the world. The man spreads misinformation all the time, and that’s highly irresponsible. You can find videos of him saying it’s a hoax, to saying it’s not a big deal, and so on. It’s unacceptable for someone in a leadership position to make light of a serious situation. The U.S. has the highest numbers of all countries on the planet so far. Now, it could simply be due to testing, but I’m certain the response we are seeing has been subpar.

      So yes, it is his fault. I can’t for the life of me understand how anyone can support that man after all that he’s said and done. It’s not all bad, but you’ve got to admit he has a knack for spreading false information. Windmills cause cancer and noise pollution? Really? How stupid are his supporters? That’s my question.

    2. @Tom Servo Maybe he got forced to, by his employer or by other circumstances? It’s sad he continued working.

    3. He put himself at risk for what? His god, money. So he died for what he believed in.

      Health records from 5,700 patients hospitalized within the Northwell Health system — which housed the most patients in the country throughout the pandemic — showed that 94 percent of patients had more than one disease other than COVID-19, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
      NYC TO HOST MACY’S ANNUAL FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS DESPITE CORONAVIRUS
      Data taken from March to early April showed that the median age of patients was 63 years old and 53 percent of all coronavirus patients suffered from hypertension, the most prevalent of the ailments among patients.
      In addition, 42 percent of coronavirus patients who had body mass index (BMI) data on file suffered from obesity while 32 percent of all patients suffered from diabetes.
      The study also revealed that the overwhelming majority of patients who were on ventilators eventually died, and those who did more often had diabetes.
      Data gathered from 2,634 patients who either died or were discharged from the hospital showed that 12 percent of them were placed on ventilators and of those who were, 88 percent of them died.

  2. My heartfelt condolences to this man’s family. Never ceases to amaze how thoughtless so many folk are. Just a matter of time until bus drivers just walk away.. not worth it.

    1. Not only bus drivers but people at Walmart, Costco, Lowe’s, CVS, etc. We’re very close to not having any businesses open. If a few people get sick at those places, they’ll have to shut down and do a deep cleaning. But who knows how long it would be before it’s safe to shop at those places again.

    2. Chinese Red Cross experts told italy, 1) Wear masks! 2) STOL all public transportation. If only, here in the land of the Trampocrats….

    3. @Louis Reed And how much time have YOU spent out in the baking sun picking fruit, harvesting onions, etc? Jobs our current basically useless Millinials won’t even consider lowering themselves to do?

  3. Smh.. You can’t fire someone for protecting Americans! Give this man his rank back and his Job! Great leader! 🇺🇸 Heaven is now the home of this lost soul. Americans shouldn’t be dieing at the hand of their President.

    1. He does not lose either rank nor job. He lost his leadership position and in a normal case he would also lose his reputation.

    2. Another ignorant comment trying to say the president started this virus. Obviously people will get a virus if people aren’t protected properly. This guy doesn’t care about this driver. He just wants to take a jab at the president.

    1. @Tom Servo you got it wrong dear. Incubation period is max 14 days. The woman was coughing on his bus. She wouldn’t cover her f-ing mouth. He reported it now he is dead. She is probably dead too. If not I’d punch her in her murderus nose ( with gloves on).

    2. Someone who dies doing their duty is heroic.

      To allow this man die so the rich can continue raping the earth and her people, is tragic

    3. @Eschaton Zenith Ph.D scientist so I think not. I just understand probability and the temporal relationship between events. So chill bunnyface

  4. Jesus bless Mr. Hargroves family. This was 100 percent preventable. Thank you for your service.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    1. 50 yr old fat man dies, so what. It was the millimeter microwaves, not a catchable disease. CV is a “Live Exercise”!

    2. Eschaton Zenith Now I’m confused, Kate is offering a prayer to the victims? Why are you questioning this person?

  5. Man, for a hoax that was going to be miraculously gone by April, it sure is ruining a lot of lives. 🤔

    RIP Mr. Hargrove.

    1. Libbies are self haters. They want to elect those who cry about what illegals should get and take FROM YOU. When they do not even belong here. This network stated basically why aren’t illegals getting a check? Because they are not here legally and Americans have paid taxes on that money illegals have not. If you are self hating and promote illegals taking what should goto Americans then you are guilty of nothing less than treason.

    2. Bob Heck you’re an absolute imbecile. Remember Joe can’t run the country from the nursing home.

  6. “The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.”

  7. That Capt. says “We’re not at war.” He couldn’t be more wrong!! He IS at war…with his own government…to save his crew’s lives. How disgusting is that?!? Capt. Crozier…you did right by your crew, you did your service branch proud, and you fulfilled your oath!!! From an Army vet to you Sir… I salute you!!

    1. @Qube Root
      Thank you!!!
      Man… You have no idea how tired I am of trying to explain things to people that ONLY watch Fox News, OAN or Trump’s administration for their information! No one wants to do any real research for themselves…they just wanna puke up the talking points they heard someone else say. It’s like… I’m not telling people the truth about these thing to prove I’m smarter than others, or that I’m better than others… I’m doing it to help save their lives and the lives of their loved ones.
      Masks don’t help though. Wrong! Research “inoculum” or “viral load”! It’s like the flu. Wrong! It only stays in the air for an hr. Wrong! 6 feet is good enough. Wrong! It can only live in saliva particle. Wrong!!!
      It can only live on a surface for an hour. Wrong! Pets can’t be infected. Wrong! There’s only one strain. Wrong!

    2. @Qube Root
      I’m SO glad some people like you get it!! This thing can mutate up to 1% PER DAY!! There’s already 2 strains… an “S” strain and an “L” strain…and the L strain is FAR more deadly, and affects people at much younger ages!! Makes sense for the time period since reports finally started rolling in.
      But these people REFUSE to just listen, and wanna poke fun and laugh at me and cough mockingly at me for wearing a mask when I go out. Now look at what the CDCs saying to do. I wonder why?!? And it’s mind blowing cause ALL the information is out there if people would just look for themselves. I really wish people could forsee what’s coming next instead of always trying to argue. I wish I was prepared! Things are gonna get WAY worse than JUST this virus!!!

    3. @1intellegent
      Please take care of yourself, and try your best to prepare for the affects of this thing beyond just getting sick. I wonder if people still remember the first news/CDC recommendations of being prepared for 3 to 6 months here in the states? Food, water, money for bills. I know there will be supply chain issues(it’s already slowly starting to happen)… and look at EVERY other country. Seems like an impossibility to prepare for most of us that aren’t working anymore… but try your best. This thing ISN’T going away over the summer, and with reinfection and a 2nd wave on its way with no vaccine by that time, things are gonna get very hard for MANY of us.

    1. Couldn’t agree more about Brett Crozier. But he’s not a war criminal so he’ll suffer where Emperor Bone Spurs, the Coward-in-Chief, likes to reward war criminals and their war crimes, not brave, moral men and women. The sooner this Russian Stooge is assassinated the better for the whole planet. I wouldn’t stop there. I’d carry on with Moscow Mitch, Leningrad Lindsey and all the heinous GOP. There’s better being flushed down toilets each and every day.

    2. @MilitantZero Zero is right. You’re nothing! Sorry. I apologise. You’re a coward like your Great Leader Emperor Bone Spurs.

    1. It don’t matter if he was a cool dude or not what mattered is that he lost his life on that day. Grow up

  8. Aside from covering up, people need to be required to wear some type of mask before entering trains, buses, supermarkets, etc…just like in other countries. We need a zero tolerance policy for that.

    1. We should also be requiring people to get their temperatures taken. Thats how they have been doing it in South Korea.

    2. Grocery Stores in Iowa are starting to require all their workers to wear masks, and they are also not allowing more than 1 employee in the aisle at some (Fareway the one I noticed). On the opposite end, I went into a Gas Station wearing my mask and the employee, Assistant Manager even, exclaimed she wish she could wear a mask, but the supervisors deemed that it would cause a panic, so they were not allowed to do so. Ridiculous.

      I work for PepsiCo, and even though I’m not required to wear a mask, I wear one, not for my safety, but for others. I don’t want to pass it along if I am asymptomatic.

    1. @Goose yes, the virions within the aerosolized mist of the woman’s cough is what killed him. Covid-19 destroyed his lower respiratory system. That good enough for you?

    2. @H Sig
      Someone’s mother didn’t give them enough attention growing up so you’re here acting out. Grow up. The man you’re so in love with doesn’t care about you.

    3. He knew the risk and still took his chances, why? Money? He’s not a wise man, his greed killed him.

  9. That Captain earned the respect of the men and women on his ship and the American people. Something Trump will never, ever have.

    1. That’s a captain. That captain is the real deal. Unlike the orange captain who crashed the tRumptanic.

    2. Hello stupid person like most Libbies are you not bright the acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly said the ship’s commander, Capt. Brett Crozier, who was ousted Thursday, “demonstrated extremely poor judgment” in the middle of a crisis by using email servers that were not secure and causing a media mess on what should have been an internal military response. Trump cannot fire him did not fire him the Navy did it on their own. Trump does not have half the power you idiots think he has.

    4. @A Walk In The Mind of M. T. Wood Under his leadership America has become #1 in both infection rate and deaths.

  10. And to Jason Hargrove and his “family” man! His smile was magical and his dedication is unmatched: God Speed Hermano
