Doctor Says 'A Lot Of Transmission Left To Come' | Morning Joe | MSNBC

    1. @Killroy was here If they don’t self-inject disinfectant first. But let Trump be the first to demonstrate on himself how great his idea is…

    2. @Killroy was here He’s always struck me as greedy. And as we all know post GFC “greed ain’t good any more”….

    1. Joe Rogan had him on a long time ago and he predicted something like this would happen one day – it was not a matter of IF but really a matter of WHEN- he has studied epidemics and pandemics his whole career – including the 1918 flu pandemic (note it was 1918 – not 1917 no matter how many times President Trump restates 1917 because he refuses to correct a previous error on his part)

  1. Does everyone remember in Jaws when the mayor was so worried about the economy he reopens the beaches and tells everyone the water is safe? Let’s see how this plays out.

    1. OMG! I said that exact thing! I reminded my brother of that scene when Trump was talking about filling the churches for Easter.

    1. @Mike Young Trump thinks hydroxychloroquine is the magic bullet. Well i got news for him,
      THE MAGIC BULLET WAS WASTED ON A GRASSY KNOLL IN 1964

    2. People, it is getting worse, Trump is a real threat to the American people (Lysol and UV)! Trump should be removed from Office ASAP, by any means necessary! America can not wait till November.

    1. I agree. This Dr is well spoken and intelligent. Wish he was doing that daily fireside chat he mentioned.

  2. “It won’t come back at all.”

    Funny. Every doctor I’ve ever heard has said this will come back for sure. 🤔

    1. it will come back
      1) countries on equator have outbreak too, that means summer couldnt stop the virus
      2) many recovered patients have tested no antibodies weeks after recovery, that means they can be re-infected again
      and it may also imply vaccine is not effective against covid19

    2. Meyaka Brown…whoever heard of a virus coming back, they’re just like Santa & the Easter bunny, ex. flu, norovirus, rotavirus etc etc.

    3. @Meyaka Brown … it was a reference that they return every season. Did that confuse you? The flu comes every Fall/Winter depending on what part of the world you live in. Rotavirus starts in South America & moves up through North America each Spring. Norovirus goes around the world via cruise ships. I tested for these things as my job. If you were being sarcastic about them returning, I was just comparing them to seasonal events.

    4. @lima leaf frog SARS-COV-2 is NOT the flu!!
      It’s funny, we took SARS-1 seriously but SARS-COV-2 is worse and their are people that don’t. To much political BS misinformation these days.

  3. When is someone going to sue Hannity and the fox&frds crew for touting false information?

    1. Keato hypocritical? How is it Fox Five has the most false stories and lies of anybody “ news organization “ in our nations history.
      When you don’t like the truth it’s fake news. When trump talks it’s all lies and we call it politics. When, after having been breifed many times since November, trump lies and people die, we call that misinformation. No the hypocrisy is right in your comment.

    2. @Jeremy Cave With all due respect, when you say Fox has the most fake news in our nations history, it baffles me because there’s no way to tell! You can’t count how many stories a organization has told false information about. Plus you never gave me a example, if you give me one I’d appreciate it. MSNBC lied about the Covington kids to make Trump look bad. That’d be fake news to me. That’s why I made the comment because of stories like that. Ya get me?

  4. JESUS H. CHRIST! If ever there was a clip custom made to serve as evidence for enacting the 25th ammendment, this is it.

    1. Did you see where 45 was talking about using uv lights that disinfect things, they work by killing cells, you can’t be in any room they’re being used. Also using disinfectants, Lysol, bleach etc injecting into body’s, this also will not work, unless you want a very painful death! Article 25 where are you??

    2. @Sandra Arnal Yea, I just caught that one. I stand corrected. POTUS suggesting lysol injections is better evidence of a failed intellect.

    3. @Sandra Arnal iirc, you can also end up with some nasties in the air — I forget exactly which ones — if you use heavy UV irradiation. Maybe it’s positive ions or ozone, I forget.

    1. @Shadforth W – Sure, go ahead and try that… It was tried back in the 1940’s and although it worked in some applications, there were hazards associated with it.

    2. @WWZenaDo good luck with your vaxes! I think I’ll go have a nice cold glass of lemon tea with mint and a splash of tumeric powder, I go over to my friends house…..oh yeah . I’m in Japan. Where they fat shame and eat healthy. Yeah don’t know how that could help

    3. @Shadforth W – Suuuuuure you are. Since you’re clearly a big fan of Trump, you’re about as honest as he is. You’re probably overweight, too.

    1. Esther Shuruggs He doesn’t know how to clean up! He is part of the reason why we’re in this mess.

    2. Hilary sold 20% of our Uranium deposits to a firm controlled by the Russian state. Is that not treason?

  5. Amazing watching Trump trying to make his health experts LIE and then when they won’t do it…he does it for them.

  6. He lies one minute, gets called out the next minute, then gaslights and says you didn’t hear him lie the next minute. What a psychopath!

    1. His favorite “save” remark, remember? (ie: injesting hand sanitizers and injecting rubbing alchohol “) I was “being sarcastic, just joking” yuck yuck, yuck!

    1. @Thomas V. Thanks Tom V, I was getting confused myself, and as we’ve just had Anzac Day here ( our memorial day, and it’s normally illegal to be totally Sober! ) I’ve been chewing away at some Tullamore Dew. I could tell you what cousin A the paramedic in London tells me, or cousin’s B, C and D, all RN’s tell me, or cousin E the policeman…….Etc, etc, but I will tell ALL of you guys what my brother the undertaker tells me, 1 years burials, in 4-5 weeks. Every night he picking 3, or 5 or more people that had paid funerals with his business.

    2. @Thomas V. and Tom I’m not just talking about London, or Ireland or Germany…….I’m in Australia which has probably been luckiest, and handled it best. 80 dead.

    3. @Paul Muggins Yeah, it’s terrible. Stay strong and safe! Ps. the Tullamore Dew IS in fact a pretty good deterrent for them bacteria/virusses in the throat region 😉

    4. @Creeer2005 You are talking about Trump, right? Because I think everyone else was talking about the doctor from Minnesota.

  7. Trump gets wound up when the experts tell him off with facing real facts. Trump does not want to hear it.

  8. I think Fauci needs to be seriously congratulated, and this other doctor who stood his ground. Well done on not being bullied.

    1. Those doctors have clearly shown how you behave when you’ve taken an oath> Trump should take note. The first rule of being a doctor I believe, is, first, do NO HARM!

    2. @Gerald Scott At the end of the day they will still educated medical professionals and he will still be stupid.

    1. ​@Mark Huffman Your civility is impressive, I hope your re-analysis of presidential candidate’s suitability come November is just as impressive. In the meantime, please be sure not to misuse disinfectants or uv light internally!

    2. @barbara broadbent So bad it’s hard to find a rational explanation for the pathetic pretender president without relying on his favorite: conspiracy theories! Maybe: Fluoridation??? Being taken over by alien orange-faced lizard people??? Accelerated Onset Alzheimers? Big Mac Psychosis? Pure evil? 5G phone towers? Self injecting disinfectant?– Aha!–maybe all of the above! But then as Trump says maybe, maybe not, nobody knows, a lot of people got it wrong, everybody knows he’s a very stable genius (not)…

  9. If Trump says Fauci is a liar and “THERE WILL BE NO ‘VIRUS’ IN THE FALL!” Americans should take all preparation for another wave of death in the fall!

    1. Absolutely! I’m also preparing for a recession (no, I’m not buying gold) as in the past Republican administrations have tended to usher in most of the recessions and Great Depression that America has had to deal with. Deregulation of finance (Wall Street) and the banking industries have often been significant causative factors in such downturns.

    2. A virus in the Fall ( or Autumn as we say in the U.K.) may mean no election possible. Now that will put a cat among the pigeons!

    3. @Brian Edward It is highly probable that the corrupt Republican Party will utilize that stunt to remain in power. When we got Dubya (Baby Bush) as “president”, I thought America was teetering on the edge of becoming a dictatorship. Looks like that’s about to happen in real time. Millennials sneer at Boomers, but our generations were protesting in the streets, turning over cars and setting them on fire, and getting beaten up, shot and rarely killed in the protests done to unseat Nixon and his corrupt administration. Fortunately at that time the Republican Party finally did agree – reluctantly – that their garbage needed to be removed from the White House. Nowadays the pathologically greedy (people and corporations) are feeding off of average Americans like giant leeches, and they are completely unwilling to have their supply cut off or worse yet, be taxed effectively at a rate equivalent to those levied upon average Americans.

    4. @Fraser ODonnell This virus will last forever and we will all die from this virus! Millions will die from this virus in the next wave and the rest of humankind will be wiped out next year.

  10. When in history did an American president stand over every official as they speak to the press like; a Fat Controller – interrupting and challenging every word of every official expert?

    1. Don’t you think, the possibility of the infected develop their own antibodies? My next question, is, even in they have antibodies, what are the chances of a more ( aggressive, and or virulent related virus, come around, (say next season), would they, at least, succumb, less to the disease, than one who was never infected?

    2. Exactly! With no data, for those who were never tested, we are still, floating, in an ocean of “viral emergers”! That being the case, when does the spread cease. Inoculation, sublingual, topical, vaccine, (total cure), however, remain the only relief.

    3. @Lars Jones well only a week and a half ago it was 36%, so perhaps it _was_ closer to %50 a few weeks ago. I think this change is due to increased testing capacity. Of course, with 1 in 5 still testing positive, we’re still not close to the level of testing we need.

    4. @Firstname Lastname You might have missed my correction elsewhere… I neglected to add D+R before dividing your 36% was probably spot on!

  11. We have a lot of very smart, courageous people in America like Dr. Osterholm,yet we let the idiots run the show.
