  1. We are definitely living in LALA land. The media keeps taking about the fall bringing in a second wave, but with all of these states opening the first wave is about to really reach it’s crest.

    1. @Jeffrey Kaufmann People test positive that doesn’t mean that they’re going to lose their lives.
      My state is the next door neighbor to Iowa, we’re not locked down.

      Look you can stay home all you want, I’m not telling you to go out.
      But I’ll be damned if I’m going to let some Mayor like De Blasio, tell me I no longer have my Contaonal rights.

    2. @Goldenhawk H I go out all the time doing food delivery and I dont wear a mask. But I’m not going to enter a packed subway or bus without a mask.

      Unlike Trump and Pence my Prime Minister is practicing physical distancing.
      I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump or Pence ( and Aide of his has Covid 19) eventually gets Covid-19. They might be wearing masks soon.

    3. @Jeffrey Kaufmann Well, I’m not out dancing with anyone either.
      How do you know what my President and Vice president is doing or practicing?
      Unless you’re in the White House with them you don’t have the foggiest idea what they’re doing or not doing.
      So, your writing that you’re out delivering perishable items without wearing a mask. You didn’t write if you wore gloves or not. If it’s as dangerous as you keep telling me it is, aren’t you afraid that you’ll be contaminated or giving someone else CCOVID-19?

    4. @Goldenhawk H When I deliver food I leave it outside the customer’s door.I have no contact with the customer. It’s the customer’s responsibility to wash his hands ( if he/she wants to) after picking up the bag of food. I never touch my eyes or mouth with my bare hands while I’m working. I’m not worried about Covid-19.80% Of Covid-19 cases where I live are in Nursing Homes.

      Trump and Pence are in their 70s so it’s easier for them to get Covid-19 versus someone who is 20 years younger.

    1. American should learn from China to block traffic among states (provinces in China) and establish many temporary mobile cabin hospitals in states to separate patients classified as Asymptomatic, light-medium symptomatic and Severe. Otherwise, the healthcare systems may collapse.

    2. DON’t Imagine that… you’ll create it for yourself, it’s called PARANOIA.. Viruses do not travel on dead meat..

    3. @adam m. Food products take way more time than 3 hours to travel to your home… If you are worries, just become a breatharian, of course behind your stupid mask, so you put yourself out of misery faster, and relieve us from your remarks.

    1. @t1tacal Before I waste any time relying, please provide sources and context for those statements. Not sure where the Nazi accusation comes from. Are you projecting perhaps ?

    2. @David Bruce Of the flu? 650k? Are you out of your mind? It doesn’t matter anyway, THIS IS NOT THE FLU.

    3. Milk Manson, What do you mean when you are asking me if I’m out of my mind? Are you saying the numbers are higher? I got those numbers off of the CDC website. And you’re right, it doesn’t matter. The mortality rate of COVID-19 is less than 1%.

    4. @David Bruce Twice as many deaths as hospitalizations? Whatever, you’re willing to sacrifice parents and grandparents and I’m not. Covid is more contagious and has no vaccine. It should be obvious to even the most simple minded person at this point that covid today has the at least the same potential as the flu did 100 years ago.

    5. @r s LOL, you say I chose death for liberty? It’s a 96% SURVIVAL RATE for me if exposed in US statistically. Spineless sheep deserve tyrants and no liberties. All of you in NZ have surrendered freedom to a despotic evil witch, a marxist-globalist who poses as a good princess. Evil wears no mask so well as that of virtue.

  2. I hope all of you guys are doing well during these rough times. I am sending love to everyone of you.

    1. Check out Weekend warrior channel and see the data and mountain of evidence that soon will sadly be front page .weido!

    1. @B dub He didn’t shut down Travel at all, he was still letting people in from Europe and those were the ones who started the Epidemic in NYC and the curve hasn’t flattened, it’ll be hitting the Red States next, Bootlicker.

    1. Chickenhawk H
      Most of the jobs that illegal immigrants are doing are jobs that even our poor people can’t afford to do, or they won’t do because safety regulations aren’t being enforced. And it’s the corporate minded Republicans who have been taking advantage of that labor pool for decades. That’s why the Republicans didn’t do anything about immigration until Trump came along and used it as a dog whistle issue to get elected. That’s OP’s point; we use and abuse immigrant labor. Very few of the jobs they do take away from American workers.

    2. Chickenhawk H
      That “new NAFTA” bill is actually a worse deal for America in many ways. Look it up.

    3. Chickenhawk H
      You, like most conservatives, don’t grasp what the academic “safe space” is. You assume that it has some kind of protective function for people who need to somehow be shielded and protected. But as a Navy Seal wrote when he decided to go back to school at Princeton, the “safe space” is exactly the opposite. It’s supposed to be where people can freely speak about difficult and divisive issues without being attacked. It’s the exact opposite of what you’re assuming. This Navy Seal also stated he was surprised and impressed by the students he met. Being older, he thought they would be a bunch of whiny kids but said they were extremely intelligent and tough. Like most conservatives, you’re just projecting what you think these ideas are without learning about the reality.

      It reminds of how conservatives think “saving the planet” is actually about the planet; rather than our own living environment and economy. Conservatives have a strange tendency to thing in broad existential terms about things the left advocates for without actually learning about the practical exigencies behind those ideals and policies. You tend to project silly views rather than look at the practical reality.

    1. Are you really this stupid? Asymptomatic patients are by far the worst part of any pandemic. Those are the vectors of transmission.

  3. Singapore was ontop of the covid outbreak, but they missed dormatories housing 300,000 workers. Now they have the most infections in S E Asia
    Dorms, nursing homes, prisons etc will be hard to prevent the covid wild fire

    1. Wtf u gonna do? A fruitcake wimpy “man” who has let testosterone in his body than a 5 yr old…looser

    2. Interesting they say salvia cannot be used to detect the virus but yet it is saliva spray that infects the masses.

    3. hamhockbeans yes because that’s how science works. There are enough pathogens in droplets to infect, but there needs to be more to test. Got it?

    4. snooop Dizzzle that would make a lot more of an impact if you knew the difference between “loose” and “lose”. Loser

    5. Their attention is more focused on the upcoming elections and on how to change the American citizen viewpoint about death so it becomes more acceptable during these election times. That is why they are telling us to view ourselves as soldiers in a war in which death constitutes bravery and patriotic heroism in the service of MAGA.

    1. You guys have had more, much more than your share of death. We all have, everywhere, if we could only convince the psychotics that claim to rule the world, well, nevermind. Peace

  4. “You only see what you want to see and you only hear what you want to hear”. – The Rockman

    1. @Amortalman no tastes like KFC chicken. but very fatty chicken if its an american child.

  5. Oh those times When you have to report basic information in simple terms, like how a virus spreads, like you’re speaking to a grade 4 class..
