  1. Whoever is infected with the coronavirus right now, please join the next maga rally to support our president 😁

    1. Biggus Dickus -Yes please🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 your President will heal your illness so please go see him and shake his hand!

    2. I hate the choices these people are making. I think the president is morally bankrupt and deserves a long time in jail. I think his followers are in a cult and don’t even realize it yet. They’ve allowed abhorrent things to happen. That said, they’re humans, they’re Americans. We can’t pretend at moral superiority then wish some of them will get really ill. They should have to live long enough to see what history will say about them. Wishing illness and death on them is beneath us and unamerican.

  2. Agree I feel better after watching this segment. Took 12 hrs of listening to news to finely hear some reasonable info I could understand. Thank you.

    1. The only advice required is that you may get sick at some point, so mentally prepare yourself. It won’t be that bad. That’s it.

    2. You realize they lie all the time on this pigsty of a nooz show. WMDs, Clinton’s inevitability, the housing debacle, Russia pee tape, Pete winning Iowa. Do you enjoy being lied to? Hope your friends don’t treat you that way.

    1. vitamin C flush will go a long way to killing virus. 1 gram an hour, every two hours until worst symptoms are over and fever is gone.

  3. It’s times like this when America misses the calm, collective, intuitive, informative, honest, and reassuring words of President Obama.

    1. @mike briganti For every misstatement Obama may have made, Trump tells 1,000 obvious ridiculous outrageous lies. Only a true POS could defend that.

  4. Good, accurate information is needed and necessary as well as critical especially with the threat of this virus spreading.

    1. @Underground Frenchy you fail to take into account the level of exposure of flu vs coronavirus. Flu is a worldwide contagion with .1 % mortality rate. Full worldwide coronavirus contagion at 2 % mortality rate will be catastrophic.

  5. Donald Trump is really bad luck for America:
    – worst mass shooting
    – worst coronavirus pandemic
    – worst stock drop since the financial crisis.
    These are under the watch of the worst president ever.

    1. Trump Accomplishments
      1. 7.3mil Jobs. Obama added NINE Trillion dollars to the national debt in order to achieve his job growth numbers. Trump just cut taxes.
      2. Lowest unemployment in 50 years
      3. Tax reform. Lowering corp rate from 35% to 21% unleashing an economic boom and repatriate $1tr of offshore funds
      4. Aggressive deregulation
      5. Defending our Southern Border / Remain in Mexico program
      6. Three top terrorists dead – Al-Baghdadi, Sulemani and that dude in Yemen
      7. Confronting China on unfair trade practices / Trade deal
      8. Establishment of the Space Force
      9. United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA)
      10 First Step Act to overhaul and reduce federal minimum sentencing guidelines for drug offenses
      11. Two Supreme Court Justices
      12. 195 Federal Judges appointed to the bench
      13. 32% non-white support in California – CNN Poll https://www.newsday.com/opinion/commentary/black-voters-donald-trump-support-1.39184208
      https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/12/31/trumps_top_10_achievements_for_2019_142047.html

      Trump has been investigated by British Intelligence, Foreign Ambassadors, the FBI, The DOJ, the Senate, the House, US Attorneys, and the Special Counsel. They wiretapped members of his campaign and obtained all of their electronic communications. And he asks to look into a democrat and they try to impeach him. What have all of the investigations and insinuations laid out against Trump amounted to for the American people? How has it impacted their lives vs Trump’s progress on jobs the economy and national security?

    1. Build up your immune system. There’s no vaccine so your immune system has to fight it off. There are different things you can take like Echinacea and Turmeric and others to build up your immune system and make it stronger.

    2. Only if you waste it by spreading it as a gel.
      Stay home and drink and I guarantee you won’t get sick other than pressurising your liver.

  6. Wear gloves when handling cash, it’s a major transit route for germs to be passed around. Pay by contactless card when possible.

    1. “Filthy lucre” it is. Cash is usually swarming with germs. Maybe nuking the bills in MW would help, or boiling money for ten minutes? Never thought I’d be ‘laundering money!’

    1. You’d think that the industry would have extra precautions for flyers since people just simply can’t put off their travel plans for a few months, like stopping flights. It isn’t like they aren’t making more money than God. Right?

    2. Although I understand you, pardon my personal greed but I’m scared the aviation industry will take a hit. The word layoffs is becoming a common theme among many airlines employees.
