  1. This is why regulations are a good thing. They do slow things down, but they PREVENT shutdowns!

    1. @jhl jhl nope not anymore bc in my state and coming to your state masks are mandatory now with poe lease enforcement and all business must comply and customer also and this is tn a Republican state

    2. Something “MAY” need to be done. Whether or not you get the Virus now or later, it will happen. Lock downs did not stop the spread, masks may or may not slow the spread, but, IT WILL SPREAD! Everyone touches their mask continually , then touch a counter or what have u, leaving VIRUS for the next person to touch. We cannot handle any more collateral damage from CV19, economic, other mental or physical health issues,etc. We have to accept some risk like the risk of heart disese, Cancer, accidents, etc.! Cases don’t mean much until there is no room in ICU’s or deaths increase. That is not the cases ! Life must go on, It will as soon as the election is over won’t it?

    3. @jhl jhl You guys are such drama queens. Complaining about wearing a mask thats like complaining that you have to wear shoes but the left are the snowflakes

  2. We have demonstrated that we cannot handle a biological attack—if we really have adversaries, expect several new diseases to pop up before Christmas.

    1. Lets hope they get it right this time and get it to American first …seems the dropped the last one to early.

    2. @Wolfgang dayo 500,000 people world wide didn’t die from a panic attack + the common cold. It’s a hell of a lot more serious than that.

    1. I’ll bet money it’ll impact one of those super-volcanos too. But sure… I’d understand God’s plan if it’d happen. There is a real possibility that Trump might even create worse havoc than that if reelected. So better be “safe” than sorry!

    2. I wouldn’t be surprised if that happen, I realized that( literally) anything is possible for this year

    1. CCTT. Why on earth would any country want to bring Americans into their countries at this time? What would be point of all their efforts to contain the spread of this virus by allowing potentially infected Americans inside their borders? You truly over estimates the Democrats power if you believe they could get the world to pretend there is a faux virus just to embarrass trump.

    2. Weevers are knocking at my door, Jubal Early is peering through my window and my pretty floral bonnet is in tatters! I hear The Borg plan to sublet the apartment next door and a Daleck biker gang rides past every night. I went on a dating site and Lex Luthor called me. Computer end this holodeck simulation now! Data! Where in blazes are you?

    1. First mass destruction of people’s lives, loss of jobs and livelihood with their china corona, then annexing other nations like Hongkong and Tibet, then disrespecting civil rights, then bullying others, then land grabbing of other nations, now blackmail against Canada. and terrorist activities with their new partener Al Badr.
      Are there any other accomplishments MISSING in the RESUME FOR THIS SCUM THUG, the corona producer nation CHINA???
      Do we still need to entertain or encourage such MASS MURDERERS????

    2. Supposedly not a concern yet about swine flu..then why did they plaster it all over the news??? Damn…I already self isolate because I only like my dog..lol
      So we have had an Asiatic flu a Hong Kong flu H1N1, I think an avarion flu, Sars, a couple cases of ebola, HIV which is still here, the seasonal flu, colds, when we get sick, how are we going to know how sick we are? The days of a couple days of NyQuil and some Tylenol are over..
      If you get a cough… We are all going to become paranoid and wonder if it’s bronchitis, pneumonia, a covid-19 virus, or now a swine flu….. Almost all of these strains of flu but one have come from China. One came from Mexico, I have lost track. The Spanish flu was an avarion flu…..Why didn’t we learn this in school?

  3. I’m sick of living through historically significant events… The textbook chapter on 2020 will be a nightmare

    1. Sal This virus isn’t going to become another pandemic CNN is just trying to cause fear in you like they always do I wouldn’t worry about it. Just try to avoid the fear mongering news networks

    1. Agreed bro they have to first destroy my country “iran”….. im just tired of this country ….

    1. Dakboek SB but it’s a descendant of the H1N1 strain the G4 virus has been here since 2016.

    2. LMAO here comes the new Plannedemic, the PIG FLU, are you referring to cops or a virus this time? The G4 strain is made in CHINA, let’s keep the ban on to and from that place, all bad things come from China! Hey did you ever get a Vaccine for H1N1 or did it just disappear? This is what CNN Virus hunters do, spread fear!

    3. They’re basically just doing on purpose for population control, it doesn’t seem like something you could just put pass chinese government.

  4. Just when you think things couldn’t get any worse, a new virus appears that could cause another pandemic. What a year.

    1. They are saying it’s a mix of swine flu and avian flu. Almost like it was made in a Chinese lab 🙄

    2. You mean the swine flu that we get in the US every year lol stop getting brainwashed by the media

    3. New strains of dangerous virus was predicted 10 years ago. We all know how Trump deliberately ignored the danger. I am convinced he knew this is a part of agenda 21.

    1. I’m worried more about the long term effects they will have . the effects of not socializing in crucial times in their lives , and possible fears they will have in life like the people that lived through the depression. Also the money they will be paying back or not receiving. Praying 🙏🏼 we will receive good leadership soon and see less of a political split that has been forced upon our own fellow Americans . Thanks to CNN for telling us the things that matter to get us through this . 🙏🏼

    1. Well China will do whatever possible for the world to not freak out for the 2nd virus. They first need to spread it worldwide like before. And then once it’s spread they will release the real facts and tell everyone to stay inside and destroy their economy.

    2. @Sam They need to do what we do here in the US just keep it from the public and just let it kill as many people as possible like what happens every year with flu and cancer

    1. I first heard the term pandemic in the 60s movie Last man on Earth with Vincent Price, Mathesons book was remade as Omega Man in 72 and I am Legend with Will Smith in 2010.

    2. I keep telling my daughter to let me teach her to drive a stick… She’ll have the pick of cool cars when the zombie apocalypse hits (however long petrol lasts)! 🏎️

    3. We already have them- Karens & Darrin’s who whine & throw temper tantrums like their #AngryOrangeApe “President” who refuses to wear a mask 😷.

    1. And the year is only halfway over. Wait until the world’s greatest idiocracy tries to hold a national election in November.

    2. Only things missing are Martians landing on Earth, saying “take me to your leader”

  5. Yeah sure, some of us take precautions, but there are so many ahs whining about wearing a mask. 🤦🏻‍♀️ we’re doomed. Btw, Europe banned us 🤣🤣🤣

    1. I would ban us also, but not because of Covid. I would ban us because I would not want stupidity to spread. This is what happens to your brain when you watch that trash TV. I do not mean you I am saying Americans in General.

    2. The media says reopening has spread it, but massive amounts of protesters hasn’t. Lmfao🤣. Please start critically thinking. It would seriously help humanity.
