Medical Workers Pushed To Brink By Rampant Covid Spread | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

  1. Please take steps to bring tRump and his criminal crew to justice for failing to respond to the pandemic responsibly and allowing over 250,000 Americans to die unnecessarily, while fraudulently claiming voter fraud without evidence.

    1. @Lloyd B Darling, I asked a simple question and expected a simple answer. I don’t click on things what about I have no idea what is that…

    2. @C’mon man StopTheSteal sleepy 😴 Shame on you! You don’t risk just your life, but others! Selfish, arrogant di@khead.

    3. @A Writer They would not know the difference between communism, socialism, liberalism, progressive thinking… even! Someone told me that Hitler was a socialist. 🤯

  2. Solving this problem is going to require a lot of teamwork and discipline so of course here in the United States, we are pretty much screwed.

    1. You can blame the president no doubt about it but the American citizens gotta share the blame as well. Look at how they going crazy traveling during thanks giving even after being told not to do so even after being witness to the rise of cases throughout the country. Airports are full the highways are full… Are the people in America just tone deff? You can only blame the people in power so much. This virus is testing each individual separately. You and you alone are responsible for your actions. Donald Trump can only be blamed so much. Yes he and his administration failed to do their part but you had other people warning you all to do the right thing, your citizens did not listen to anybody even after loosing more people than any war your’ll were Inn your citizens are tone deff. Soon majority of them are gonna end up tone dead… It’s shocking…

    2. @Lloyd B why did you guys vote him Inn for president if your’ll aren’t gonna listen to what he says and not travel and stay safe? I’m confused. CDC says don’t travel, all health officials say the same the President Elect says don’t travel but the US citizens are out and about filling planes and busses and the works… You guys are gonna not have anything left on the map and Trump’s gonna get that huge Red wave after all… It’s already everywhere soon there’s gonna be not a spot that isn’t red… 💔

    3. @Muhammed Shah Mia I agree. It’s in our nature to live too much today, regardless of the consequences tomorrow. A nation of dedicated teenagers, it seems.

    4. @Joe Zamecki no vaccine can cure ignorance… Unfortunately the cost of that ignorance are the many lives that have been lost. Do you think people are ignorant because of the vaccine news? Do they not realize that by the time the vaccines do get approved and manufactured then packaged and shipped out and then administered it isn’t going to be done by the end of 2021 I seriously doubt it… Nothing so far has worked without a glitch especially in the USA 😔 by people not hunkering down to minimize the infection rate, loss of life and hospital strain they actually making it worse. If the hospital staff are already burned out now while cases are going through the roof before thanks giving leave alone christmas and all the other get together holidays what is going to happen? Do citizens not realize the same hospital staff are going to be needed to administer the vaccines??? 😔😔😔 You guys seriously need Biden to bring these things up publicly at least try and get some sense into peoples heads…

    5. The first thing that needs to happen is the misinformation problem needs to be fixed. Until that happens we can’t fix anything else.

    1. @nand nicarrabla Yes. I saw that.

      I wish everyone would check user’s account and point out the new accounts and trolls.

      Be safe dude.

    2. @A Writer People, check this user’s other comments.

      Is taking extreme positions on both sides!

      Foreign troll.

      We see you.

    3. @‡ ̈ I’m a frontline healthcare worker treating covid patients… Still waiting on my check from the democrats! Is it going to be a direct deposit or what???

  3. South Korea got their first case same day as US. They have required everyone to wear a mask since that first case. South Korea has lost 500 people. We have lost 260,000. Just sayin….

    1. @Cookie Cutter I thought trump would at least keep his supporters safe but it appears he did not care for them either doing rallies in all the states suffering now.

    2. @ParArdua Well, more than half of America returned us to sanity by removing trump. We care about our country and refuse to allow the insanity to continue. Those that still support trump better move out of the way.

    3. @Emsley Wyatt Obviously, its smarter than some. If, you have a computer in your hand how could you not use it to learn more.

  4. “After the election it will just disappear” – Trump
    To you 70 million people that voted for this fool. Do not vote ever again, because an uninformed vote is worse than none at all.

    1. @A Writer People, check this user’s other comments.

      Is taking extreme positions on both sides!

      Foreign troll.

      We see you.

  5. Makes me just want to hug those kind nurses.
    Sadly though, that’s exactly what we shouldn’t be doing.
    And that’s what makes this so tough.
    Be safe out there! 🙌🙏

    1. @Erik Raudr learn to read! He knows, he can’t. But would be nice if it would not be dangerous. Exactly that what he said…

    2. No hugs, but you could send a bunch of flowers or chocolates to your local hospital with a note for the staff (don’t forget the cleaners, cooks, orderlies, etc are doing it tough too). That would brighten their day.

  6. The president was responsible for the protection of the people he failed that’s why the covid spread so fast , there are steps to take to avoid the spread he failed all the warnings

    1. You can blame the president no doubt about it but the American citizens gotta share the blame as well. Look at how they going crazy traveling during thanks giving even after being told not to do so even after being witness to the rise of cases throughout the country. Airports are full the highways are full… Are the people in America just tone deff? You can only blame the people in power so much. This virus is testing each individual separately. You and you alone are responsible for your actions. Donald Trump can only be blamed so much. Yes he and his administration failed to do their part but you had other people warning you all to do the right thing, your citizens did not listen to anybody even after loosing more people than any war your’ll were Inn your citizens are tone deff. Soon majority of them are gonna end up tone dead… It’s shocking…

  7. When McConnell unilaterally decided to stop the movement of the second relief bill in May, he was also blocking these funds for training and paying nursing staff and providing PPE. His arrogance and indifference to ‘we the people’ should not go unpunished.

  8. You can’t replicate doctors and nurses the same way you make PPE and ventilators but anyone can make a President, it takes no skill at all.

  9. Imagine being a nurse and then hearing morons tell you it’s a hoax? Medical workers are risking their lives and idiots blindly follow trump

  10. The nurse asking for people to be considerate and wear a mask in order to protect others….good luck with that.

    The “MuH FrEeDuMB” egotistical crowd will have none of it.

  11. Define irony:
    The people who went to med school and got an education have to treat uneducated conspiracy folks who think masks are a joke.

    1. and are ending up in bags in semi freezer trucks.
      please everyone shelter in place- wear masks when out if you have to go out,
      stay home and help these Nurses & Doctors who are risking THEIR LIVES.
      to all those who don’t care or don’t believe why don’t you volunteer and help then.
      get a close look before you add to the problem esp. for someone else.

    2. @KaunasKid Wow, aren’t you getting political? She never said anything about conservatives, republicans, liberals, democrats but you took it there. You just showed her, garbage person.

  12. It must be heartbreaking for the medical professionals to know that in this battle, their leader is their worst enemy
