  1. I think it might be a good idea for medical students to work at the drive-through testing facilities and have credit added as an internship for working in the field.

    1. They don’t have to do interns right now. They graduated all of them right to the Hospital front lines due to the shortage of Doctors.

    2. Once we have enough tests, that makes sense.
      I’ll wait here, because the ignorant orange traitor isn’t making it a priority.
      Because he is a fucking moron.

  2. This is why the private sector greed is so bad we need the government to set up labs and testing and making masks.

    1. @susan robertson I was an Atheist for 23years…I used to say that too. The big bang? Is the result of the God you think is fictional. Think about that for a while. Ha..😂

    2. @susan robertson You are a sad and miserable woman Susan. I feel sorry for whatever man has to endure that hateful mentality. God bless🙏😇🙏

    3. @Jtaylor 2306 You Idiot, you do realize that injection of household cleaners is a big NO NO. Thank god not all US Citz are not mindless sheep and follow the advise of a narcissist con artist in the whitehouse. Otherwise we all BE DEAD from his lies

    1. @Dewey Sumpter
      Blah, blah, blah.
      Her point, I’m sure, is it doesn’t make sense to fly to Washington if teleconferencing and voting is feasible.
      If you work for McDonald’s, they want to stay open, and local government is okay with it, I guess you need to work.
      There is a regional “job lot” chain that gave everybody a $2.00/hour raise, tacked a 2% surcharge on every sale payable to employees, and has donated 500,000 masks to local health care providers.
      They also installed plexiglass barriers and instituted a sanitizing regimen.
      McDonald’s should take a page out of their book.

    2. 04:55 Why do you think DT didn’t call for national emergency,do your research.it’s time to milk health

    1. xXstabtolifeXx funny how you immediately revert to anecdotal evidence right after accusing me of such. Just learn the term last week? Testing disinfectants’ effects on covid19 in a petri dish doesn’t have the implication of administering into the body, I get that. The fact that there are studies and simulations being tested proves that it’s worth asking about. And might I ask you: who said there was nothing to worry about, shook hands with Chinatown residents, trusted the WHO, and shamed Trump to be one of the first to preemptively shut down borders? You’re a clown, I’m down with you. Have a fucking great day

    2. Nick B lmao you’re just mad because you’re willfully ignoring the facts right in front of your face. What part of my evidence was anecdotal? Seems your projecting your lack of knowledge about the definition on to me. They applied disinfectants to saliva there is no proof that the disinfectant, when administered into the body, would kill the person slower than than the virus. You haven’t once shown me a source to prove that it will. But there are countless sources proving that disinfectants will kill everything its exposed to very quickly. I love how you close out your argument with easily verifiable lies. Trump didn’t shut down the border over 40,000 people came over from China after his supposed “ban”. By the time he “banned travel” it didn’t matter the virus was already here and spreading. How does shaking hands with people in chinatown contribute to the problem? Another racist republican that thinks every asian has this thing. Guess I cant expect much from the Grandstanding, Obstruction, and Projection party. Please go retreat with your tail between your legs you absolute waste of space and oxygen.

    3. Nick B guess I cant expect too much from a maximilianmus fan. How about you go back to harassing defenseless teenagers, it suits you.

    4. xXstabtolifeXx dumbass who doesn’t understand the point behind any of my arguments, doesn’t understand the difference between “you’re” and “your”, doesn’t have the capacity to understand that medical techniques like UV exposure can be used for more than one situation, and lastly doesn’t understand the state of his own joke of a party. The bottom line is that people like you chose dementia Joe as their premium choice LMAO goodbye racist

    5. xXstabtolifeXx also, anyone who instinctively associates the main character of Deus Ex with a fortnite YouTuber (I had to look him up) automatically does not get to voice their opinions LMAO you must be a pos high schooler

  3. prioritize? more like monopolize. wonder who’s making the most money off those covid test manufacturers with access to reagents

  4. I feel bad for the United States, this shouldn’t take so long. You need more tests now!

  5. May I introduce the: 50 Disunited States wandering around reinventing the relationship between States and Federal Government.

    1. @xXstabtolifeXx even if you hate the president… even if he is stupid… How the hell can you sit and just accept fake news like that? That’s what they WANTED him to say.. They WANTED him to look that stupid… because they WANT to win a fucking election… So they’re pretending he did and your completely fine with it??? not only that but you help them spread it? dude… Amer you even a human being? Joe Biden can’t even speak for himself anymore his wife has to do it because he doesn’t even know his own name dude… you want that leading the nation are you serious????/ Take a HARD look at this situation dude.

    2. The Green Knight no he really is that stupid. The fact that you cant see it makes you even dumber than him. I would rather have a complete invalid as president as opposed to Trump because at least they would listen to their advisors and make decisions that benefit the majority of Americans. Donald Trump and the republican party has never once cared whether their base lives or dies. They see you as nothing more than dollar signs.

  6. i think someone should do a review if any supplies were directed to red risk even though they didnt need them…. this all smells like poop!!

  7. I am old enough to remember when there was just three networks ABC NBC and CBS that most often the lead story was not the same. Now what you have today is not the news. It’s’ the mainstream media telling you exactly the same thing at exactly the same time using exactly the same words. That’s impossible unless they’re in collusion with each other. It’s not news it’s an agenda being planted in your brain trying to control you.

    1. @Bruce Chehadi Thank you. It is not defeat, nor perseverance, nor a lack of willingness to survive. If anyone in this world has those attributes are the poor and middle class that from day to day the strugglesmake them tougher.. It is the injustice and greed. And obviously there are exceptions among the rich, but not the super wealthy because it is a waste of resources in the way they spend their money when there are people starving in this world. In addition, when a poor person goes to prison, it is not the same when someone wealthy goes to prison ( if at all). It is not the same when someone has worked really hard to become a doctor, and someone becomes a politician just because they had the right connections. Being born in a golden cradle makes a whole lot of difference in many aspects in life. The people that do not agree with this are the ones that never were poor. What most people want in life is for their necessities to be met such as food, clothing, and a decent living and a decent job. That is not too much to ask while the very wealthy focus on luxuries. Big difference.

    2. izzyDbuzzin I disagree, yes in the older times there has been alot of disadvantage individuals but not as much anymore we all have food (in the 🇺🇸) and shelter. Education is free for the poor and discrimination in at a all time low when it comes to getting a job. Your chances of success are many time more then what you would have had in the past. The king of Britain that almost ruled the workd and even Genghis Khan himself didn’t have some of the privileges that we have. Like A/C and heat, cars and planes etc. what im saying is things are better in everyway even when it comes to success.

    3. @Bruce Chehadi I agree with you. Your perspective is too positive which is a good thing to keep alive and what many of us do. However, beneath it all, we are living the same thing in a different way. It is a better way of living in modern times, but the disparity between the wealthy and the poor remains. Historically there were ways the masses were controlled, now all of us are controlled in different ways. In Rome the gladiators were used to entertain the masses and keep them away from reality. Now, we have video games & football ( in the USA). Not much has changed. Each country also has ways to control their masses such as hunger. Keep the people hungry and they will have no energy to fight.

    4. @Glimmering Sea Thanks! I’ll make sure to keep some morons around to do the manual labor 🙂

    1. You nailed it! The billionaire that donates his own salary wants even more money!…lmao.

    1. @Dewey Sumpter If you don’t think your vote matters because “they’re all the same” or some such ignorant bullshit, then please don’t bother to vote. It’s better when the leaders are elected by people who pay attention.

    1. Reeeeeeeeee you idiots would be crying if your weed dispensary didn’t get them too. Your idiots sold hate for pennies a click, just dotn enslave us again. #HowDemocratsStarted

    2. Because time and time again consumers get an inferior product/service when government gets involved. It’s easy to point a finger or to be government and make a legal demand rather than making tangible changes to deliver a good or service faster, better and cheaper. The only one’s actually delivering tangible goods that people need are private businesses so we shouldn’t impede what they are doing as outsiders.

    1. @G Gg I’ve tried to be “better.” I ask a simple question that has a factual answer, get no response, then tell whomever what a moron he is. That’s way more gentle than *rump fans deserve.

    2. @Michael D’Amore I don’t care about Trump as a person or his personality and character flaws. If you’d like to debate policy that’s a separate thing and have i no problem doing so.
