THIS IS OUR LIVES NOW, DONT FORGET, NOVEMBER IS COMING .. DONT LET TRUMP FORGET!
Yeah four more years of trump then the funding for hospitals that takes care of the minority that can’t afford federal expenses will suffer because of their american colleagues voting and reelecting for trump let’s see what happens by then…
@Randy Couch He may have to by November.
@Chase Adams That is a big switch. Why would someone voting Democrat even think of voting for trump?
@Lance Jones Four more years of Trump and we will all be dead. I am not joking.
@jfsfrnd The same reason so many of us are switching sides in record numbers to Trump. Dems lost their minds and abandoned everything they claimed to belive in. The party is a fractured mess and they aren’t even trying to win 2020 anyway. They just wanted to keep Bernie out.
I’m not even saying I’m a Republican now. I’m just voting Trump cause he’s the better alternative and I don’t want anything to do with the Democrat party until they recover.
Trump said it was one person coming from China. He literally said that. He should be dragged out of the White House for that comment alone.
Trump Jan. 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
Trump March 7: “No, I’m not concerned at all. No, we’ve done a great job with it.”
Trump’s indifference, sincere ignorance, and conscientious stupidity, are directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans. And no amountof lies, spin, or deflections will ever change that.
U.S. intelligence officials with the National Center for Medical Intelligence issued a report in late November warning that a virus was taking root in China. Analysts concluded it could be a “cataclysmic event,” and the report was shared with the White House, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff and the Defense Intelligence Agency. There were multiple briefings about the report throughout Dec, Jan, and Feb for the National Security Council, and the White House..
On Dec. 31, China publicly confirmed that dozens of people in Wuhan were being treated for pneumonia-like symptoms. Three days later, on Jan. 3, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said he first learned of the spread of the virus in China at a White House briefing attended by CDC and Prevention director Robert Redfield.
Days after the Jan. 3 briefing in the White House, U.S. intelligence warnings about the threat posed by the virus began appearing in Trump’s daily brief. Whether Trump read those briefings is anyone’s guess. But the safe bet would be that he did not bother to read them at all. Which makes his failure even more unconscionable.
It’s clear that Trump’s indifference and inaction, constitutes a criminal dereliction of duty, and a violation of his oath, to protect and defend this country. Amercan lives have been needlessly lost as a direct consequence of his moral ineptitude and sociopathic behavior, and for that, he must be held accountable..
Mr. Kim … That was a comment of stupidity.
Register and Vote 🔵 in November!
David Mc … Trump let it be known today that he knows he is a one term Impeached President. Guess you missed his Rose Garden briefing.
@Chase Adams Chase they called him a racist, a xenophobes…. but these r the same people that told us he was a Russian agent for three yrs.. it’s no wonder he refers to them as fake news
@Jolly Green Giant Yeah how convenient. Everyone but Trump are lying. I can’t believe any sane person would believe this bs. It’s just like a person who can’t believe he/she just got cancer and calling everyone liar including the doctor.
This sounds like a pile of that stuff they use to fertilize plants
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wet Coffee grinds 🤣
I agree it’s all fake!
💩
Even if you could test 1,000,000 people a day we need one year to test everyone in the country!!!!
Good point
GAIN 4 ALL NEWS stop with that false uneducated statement that holds no truth whatsoever
We spend $750 billion on a bloated military industrial complex. Cancel those orders immediately & spend them on healthcare and education. Perhaps, we will not have so many stupid people in the country.
@Skr Skr Perhaps not, but many people will require testing more than once.
@Skr Skr Gotta test to find the asymptomatic folks.They will be the super spreaders.We all need to be tested!
Use your common sense, it’s not safe at the moment.
Blake Hamilton there’s younger people dying too so u can’t make a blanket statement like that. Maybe they have asthma but there’s still a lot of mystery surrounding why some people have such a bad reaction to the virus whether it’s genetics, immune response or some other factor.
I agree
Blake Hamilton Wrong. A 26 year old family friend, no pre existing conditions or “weak” died 2 weeks ago of this virus. Deaths are being under reported as confirmed by some first responders and not everyone who dies of highly suspected coronavirus is being tested (so they are not counted either.) Don;t make the mistake of believing it only kills the vulnerable or old…this is not the case. Over 2,000 Americans per 24 hours are dying – that’s much more than the flu, so it’s not a minuscule amount. If this trend carries on and people can be re infected, 60,000+ Americans per month will die of it. How you can say 60 thousand deaths per month from a single, highly contagious virus that is showing signs that it re infects people is a minuscule amount of deaths is beyond me.
@Barry Midikiner Kids carry corona, a lot of teachers are middle aged and older, so when half the teachers cant teach, kids have to be out of school again…..when half your grocery store workers get it, the grocery store has to shut down (see the meat processing plant)…then what? The numbers are what they are WITH social distancing and restrictions in place. Double or triple those numbers without restrictions.
WrongWay, it’s always been safe.
I can’t explain it but I just cant and dont believe a word this lady says I just trust Fauci right now this lady is too deep into trump
Oh no, she’s been GRABBED
Watch the show Containment on Netflix. She’s Dr. Lommers.
Fauci has a connection with Gates. Vaccine buddies.
even fauci seems to keep changing his mind.
trump got to both of them, maybe put sanctions on them both.
I didn’t hear any actual answers!
The common thread of people at the top of government or companies. They are good talkers, all this MBA bs. They really know nothing and expect to coat tail of experts under them. Go look on Linkedin for managers these people seem so bored… as Eric Schimdt of Google once said “Big, fat dumb and happy”.. That shouldn’t be the American Dream.
Because she is a dam lier no if and butts about it
Question: is it safe to go back to work?
Answer: go back to work.
Question: what responsibility will the administration have for this?
Answer: go back to work.
Question: will there be testing?
Answer: go back to work.
I am not going back to the office until after Covid-19 is actually under control. I don’t care what Frump says. But I haven’t missed a day of work and won’t. I’m fortunate.
So – blue collar guys: vote blue in November. Your life may literally depend on it. Next February might be a bad time to have this science-denying administration running the show.
She gives fewer and fewer direct answers as time goes along. She is very defensive of the administration. I don’t like her much
Kellyanne Conways student
I am so done with Dr.Birx!
Is because when you’re actually directly involved and you see how hard individuals are working and you know the real numbers in the real progress being made and you turn the TV and you see idiots steady thrashing and making up lies about the situation you become very defensive.
The only reassuring thing I THINK I got out of this interview is that there is a way to scale up tracing and testing, and while we may see that as daunting right now, she has done it in countries all over the world. Did anybody else hear that?
@Thomas Brown We the Americans blunted that curve by social distancing all they did was stand behind the podium everyday! Now eventually they did round up some equipment and other items but we Americans blunted that curve.
I don’t believe a thing she says I guess Tom Trump taught her how to do talking points I think it’s 50-50 with her she don’t wanna get fired
women that wear scarves like that are universally evil.
I don’t trust her. She’s a Donald propaganda quack.
At every turn during the presidency the cnn narrative has been proven wrong. And this to shall pass. Cnn would like a centralized government, but the constitution is set up for local control
Me either. Worthless.
why a doctor sounds like a politician?
Yes, Gupta does I agree
Hell NO!
That death toll will triple. Trump likes big numbers… well he’s gonna get them!
KelZ X – So stay home then.
@Bovine One If every smart person stays home, nothing will be open anyhow….
She never really answers the questions.
She tries to hypnotize everyone with her scarves.
I also find her always vague and evasive. I don’t think she can handle the pressure Trump exerts to reopen. Also I doubt she is qualified, all the constant HIV comparisons seem out of touch, HIV is a vastly different situation and I don’t think her falling back to methods she thinks worked then are working now. Obviously they’re not.
I’d like to hide all of her scarves until she can give us a straight answer.And where’s the quacky Surgeon General?
She answered every question that was asked of her with facts and knowledge. Not sure what you were looking for that you didnt get. Could it be, you weren’t looking for actual answers, just something that makes trump look bad.. sure seemed to me that is what cooper was doing.
That’s because she doesn’t know. No one knows what’s the best decision right now. If people return back to work and economy re open it’s a problem. If staying at home continues it’s also a problem as economy is affected.
She NEVER answered the question…SMH😡
Kenya Batson shut up
There is no answer, situation can chance every week the estimate is atleast 12 – 18 months.
That doctor is wearing the fanciest Lobster bib I’ve ever seen
Rodney Pratt I don’t think I’ve seen her wear the same one twice
So all she said is that, if we reopen soon everybody dead because really, nobody in this world wasn’t prepared for this serious virus!
Lorenzo Perry – So stay home then. I’m not scared one bit. 30,000 out of 330 million? C’mon.
@Bovine One its fine not to be scared and not obey the stay at home order. but by doing so, are you willing to sign something that if you or your immediate family get sick, you and your family are not allowed to go to the hospital and use the medical resources? its not just about you. its for everyone especially the medical workers.
She seems to avoid the questions like she’s running around the bush. Give direct answers for once.
@brady chick Ok bratty, you’re the expert.
@pakpala1 Yep! Even after the peak deaths will still continue to happen.
@Barry Midikiner The entire Trumptard Squad has been lying thru their teeth since day one.We went from hoax to war time prez.We see straight thru their BS!
Chris Cuomo basically hinted around to us that CNN is fake news. We already knew that buddy. To bad all the brainwashed liberals can’t see it.
of course she is she doesn’t not wanna get fired by the stable genius President.
She is lying! The Federal Government just shut down the FEMA testing site in Washington State!
You are not listening the fed doesn’t do test the states do. Why because local governments can control it better than Washington
This lady is very evasive and her scarf is hurting my eyes
IKR…..She needs a new style
Isnt that scarf awful?
She’s lost a lot of people’s respect.
she never had any people’s respect.
Yep!
She’s being paid to evade questions. She knows that this is the wrong decision but she’s selling it because if she doesn’t her boss will fire her. This is all about money and that’s it.
She’s been brainwashed by trump
Sofia Rossi, exactly they advised the shut down and lied about this virus to scare people into taking a vaccine which won’t do anything. Just misrochip you as Gates and Fauci have stated, biggest fraud in my life time
Wow, she fell line. Any real doctor would not wear a scarf that cannot be easily laundered. Maybe trump has a shock collar on her?
Gupta is paid to push the cnn narrative. At every turn he has been wrong.
And notice she never gives yes or no answers, she’s very focused on noncommittal answers. In past interviews you’ll notice she never gives a direct answer.
