As Pres. Trump downplayed the coronavirus in early 2020, some of his administration's own CDC experts were sounding the alarm with details that proved prescient. Dr. Nancy Messonnier publicly warned in February of a coming "significant disruption" daily life, including the prospect of "schools or daycare" closing, more "teleworking:" and "missed work and loss of income." The CDC expert noted that while the warning may sound "severe," the key was that the government and citizens "start thinking" about immediate preparation. In this special report, MSNBC’s Ari Melber documents how Messionier – and other experts in and outside of government – were ignored, sidelined and even faced alleged retaliation by the Trump Administration for getting it right. This is an excerpt from a longer special report about the coronavirus response. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 5/28/2020.

Exposed: Hear The Prophetic CDC Prediction Trump Ignored – Before Coronavirus Shut Down America
Some part of 100K lives needlessly lost.
@Crystal Giddens it was planned alright
@drain the swamp 2.0 Ignorant.
@Ken McD most people infected with COVID-19 flew in from Europe and the UK. Trumps ban on flights from China was just to satisfy his base. It didn’t stop the US from becoming the most infected nation on earth.
@drain the swamp 2.0 that was in a year, we aren’t even in the middle of this year and so many people have died-
@Leonie Romanes Per capita, we are nowhere near the most infected nation on earth. https://www.statista.com/chart/21170/coronavirus-death-rate-worldwide/
Same senators trading before hand got intel. No one saw it!
@Folk Aart b/c you are innocent, so are the guys that had the inside info? Denial.
Bill Barr just dropped all charges against 3. the one that is being investigated went against Trump; so it’s a retaliation. we have President Putin. It’s just… no one ever told us.
@Pamala Dalrymple It wasn’t inside info, the virus spreading through China was well known about by mid January. It didn’t take much intellect to figure out what would happen to the markets.
@Folk Aart fart art, you had stock. The rest of us are the economy.
@Folk Aart you and all people with half a brain knew it, so what is trumps excuse then, for the horror shitshow circus response??? you are a trump supporter right???
The illness is very damaging to internal organs long term for those who survive.p
Only the lungs
Kiwi Bico remember H1N1 with all the news time? I don’t either. This is a failed ploy to take down Trump. The MSM is helping and only half are really covid
Exactly!!! News is not reporting this enough.
@Kiwi Bico he’s watching MSNBC, the video above this comment section. Is that his problem?
@Grey Slate if you had any friends maybe you would know someone.. its all stats and maths genius
Ari always makes me laugh with his hip-hop lyrical references.
True it can be cringeworthy but it’s funny.
It reminds me of the boss from other guys a little quoting TLC
That was one of the best parts. Lol. As a fan of Lauren Hill many of her lyrics have been on point.
Yep he does it a lot, but he truly listens to the lyrics of a lot raps songs too!
Are we winning yet?
@TIMEPPF yep, Endorsed…=]…. ALL dems are a Cohesive Unit… …. and normal folks are gonna smash the baby raper trump…=]… go feed those goats, bubba…=]
@Alex. C But not near winning for death or infection rates. The perks of being a large nation.
@Eric w a large nation with a narcissist as it’s president. Bon apetite USA. This is what u ordered
@TIMEPPF
Deservedly Insulted ..
You meant that, aye….
lol
TIMEPPF your camp is drinking bleach and holding protest rallies w nazi flags, seems you left that part out
I remember hearing that doctors warning, I am thankful I had that opportunity.
Brian Holmes
I don’t.
Me too, just wish I had pulled out my IRA like I was going to.
This dude quoted Lauryn Hill “Lost Ones” lol! Nice!
Ari Melber quotes rap artists ALL THE TIME. 😎
@jeremydoody yeah he quoted pusha t a couple of weeks ago on “untouchable” I think
One of my favorite things about Ari.
9.05 It’s usually “doomed” to repeat it, not “deemed” ! LOL. I like the newer one, “At the start of every disaster movie, are scientists who were ignored”.
But remember, the winners write the history books
Agreed. The virus is her now, no point in this message except that we should be taking every prophetic message to heart, so… what about that next asteroid that is going to destroy all of mankind. Its not a matter of if, but when. It already killed the dinosaurs. If we only put away a portion of our tax money toward government scientists they will be able to see the planet killer before it gets here. Then we will know exactly when to get under our desk and cower in the dark. Join me, in getting people focus on the real danger from above. – Libs… is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so! – R.R.
Scientists are fallible men. They are not gods. As with this Virus, their models are often wrong. They are only as good as the data they feed in. This is also why “climate change” is a myth. They have manipulated the data. It’s not that some of us “deny science.” We don’t believe the science is accurate. They have “fudged” the data to fit their agenda.
@Paul Hexagonal Oh, really?
@Heather Dee You mean, like: “By the end of April, it’ll disappear, like a miracle”, or “…maybe by injecting bleach, or disinfectant, or maybe a strong light (i.e. LASER!) from the inside…”? Sure, it’s not that they’re (Repub’s) ignorant–but they just are.
If you’re reading this, I hope you, your friends and your family are safe from the coronavirus!
Thank you my friend,hope you and yours are as we’ll,god bless.Try to stay safe everyone, from UK!
You as well
Funny now nurses in atl furlough really
Nicolai Alatzas how tf are you verified
@Poop in a bucket trump is like that turd in the toilet that won’t go down no matter how many times you flush LOL
I think he was trying to quote “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”. It was by George Santayana and has been said many different ways.
Actually the quote is, “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat its mistakes.”
He quoted the right person hers was of song!
well Jason, we all understood what Miss Maiku was trying tp say, so, why troll her, over one word?
Wow bruh. You rode out with Lauren Hill!
Karl Soul-Singer Bullard hi
@A.J. Varns Hey, whats happnin
Twe has ya been a
Alright tge living are dying
I thought I was getting something special for all of the pain and suffering that I was put through and you totally proved me wrong Amen.
The Casandra effect, knowing the future and being powerless to change it.
why are 85% of people who are put into induced comas and put on ventilators dying. why did the cdc decide to give hospitals 38000 dollars for each time someone was put on a ventilator ?
Thank god a lot of us listen to doctors and scientists……not morons!
Because you have a such a gullible child mind.

The same doctors and scientists who told us Covid-19 doesn’t spread from person-to-person? And that men can be women? hmmmmmmm
Ari- What’s really going on? This is the fallout of the Tea Party shell game of 1999. I’ll bet Prince didn’t see that coming.
It was a hoax he said !
Ari, I really like catching you news cast, you are seriously one of the current best, great, clean precise delivery, with a special youthful charm.
It is like the news from outside US is fiction for King Covid.
