    1. @D H 1. Wear mask AND face shield 2. Wash your hands after touching anything 3. Don’t touch your face 4. STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE

    2. @Tamara Jones And you are soooooo smart and superior you believe this is all bs..I feel for you in your crazy denial..

    3. @D H My cousin is a nurse and she’d been covid free until just last week. She got because some ignorant extended family member came to visit when she wasn’t around. Now all her kids got it and who knows how many else will.

    1. @Phil Collins I know more than a dozen plus several elderly relatives who had Covid and survived. It’s still from China!

    2. @Philip Abeyta So using your logic we should sue everyone or anything that has created something that causes death? Have fun with that.

  1. Yes. It CAN Happen to YOU! And, when it does, it is 1000% and TOTAL DEVASTATION. Talks of percentages don’t go very far to comfort.

    1. @that one guy The last I read about it, it was at 97%…but, even then…there are other factors that affect people, besides pre-existing conditions…like African Americans, American Indians, the Latino population…these all have a higher death toll from this virus. Just something you need to keep in mind.

    2. @DMT Donuts and that’s why nurse and doctor wear N95, and PPE. Or are you suggest hospital should refuse those Covid patients? What’s your point?

    3. I DONT KNOW about you guys but this story is hilarious 😂😂😂😂💰💰💰 I mean these scripted fairy tales are hysterical mannnnnn

    4. @Janet Browning it’s called vitamin D. It’s been 9 months since we’ve know it’s factor. Sorry CNN didn’t tell you.

    5. @DMT Donuts About 99 percent of your body is made up of atoms of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. It takes about 60 MILLION (Thats for the Aids Virus)of atoms like oxygen, carbon and nitrogen to make ONE coronavirus . Science rules, so get with the program

  2. I saw this post on CNN this morning couldn’t stop crying. No we didn’t have to go through this Virus like we did losing Family members and Friends so sad. My condolences to you and your Family. Prayers to you All 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️😢

    1. @Marvin Guigar Biden will lock us down (and look; it’s already starting with Democrats in power cancelling Thanksgiving and Christmas) and start a war.

    2. @THE TRUTH IS OUT NOW 777 China is a dictatorship and Trump met with him, Kim from North Korea and Putin a few times. Don’t pretend this is just China’s fault and not this obvious right winged populist hijacking by world leaders with no damned empathy for human life and suffering.

  3. This was unusually heartbreaking. It’s heartbreaking enough to hear these stories. it’s another thing to see the anger, defeat, and exhaustion tied with that heartbreaking sadness. It’s more than just the sadness of loss that is tugging at my heartstrings. It’s the unspoken expectation that things are just going to get worse, the hopelessness.

    1. @DMT Donuts COVID is adding to the amount of hungry kids. Do you even get that? YES, we cry for our dead. YES, we want to prevent MORE deaths! WHAT is your problem that you feel such a drive to go from comment to comment down the page with this nonsense? You’re spouting misinformation about masking, you clearly haven’t read up on the Covid/masks, so what is your actual PROBLEM? Who hurt you in such a way that you must lash out like this?

    2. At this point, after losing everything to fire I don’t care anymore about anyone or anything especially those who have a home.

    3. @The Zombie Whisperer I know this won’t make it better, but I just want you to know I feel for you. I don’t blame you for feeling like this. We shouldn’t forget all the people who’ve lost everything while all this is going on. How are you getting by? Do you have a place to live now? I don’t have much, but is there a local shelter or food bank I can support to help you?

    4. @DMT Donuts Stop disinforming people. A mask will reduce the total viral load intake and if you’re shedding the virus it’ll be kept from spreading easily for the same reason. If filters are useless then dont use a car air intake filter on your car and see how long that engine lasts. You’ll lose a car engine and but not your life. Don’t experiment with your life.

    1. @Diane Hooper DMT obviously needs therapy or to join the Mars Colonization program.

  4. First of all, I am so sad for their loss. Then, there is anger and rage. This is what MAGA is in essence. THIS is MAGA. This is the cult of Trump, the cult of a science defying GOP, disinformation right wing media. There needs to be accountability for this.

  5. That’s a great son. You can really tell he’s trying his best to keep everything together for his mother.

    1. Look at you people with your fear porn, CNN churns this crap out every day and you weirdos can’t get enough. Absolutely morbid obsession.

    2. @Rafa17 You’re an OAN , NEWSMAX and WaLKAWAY subscriber.(ZERO CREDIBILTY for YOU) Feel free to walk away to an uninhabited island with all your friends that lack empathy. Don’t wear masks there if you like and experiment there ALL you like with your antivax, anti common sense passive aggressive genocidal tendencies.

  6. Watching this woman talk about her husband was just make me cry too sad sad ! people don’t need to die this way .

    1. @Truthfinder you say that like you think Joe Biden isn’t a liar and hold some moral high ground. Look if you’re going to attack someone else maybe you ought to figure out what you are fighting for

    2. @William Parks Did I mention Biden? No. Did I attack anyone? No. None of this is about Joe Biden. It’s all about your cult leader donnie and the dreadful job he and his inept administration have done to control this pandemic since last January.

      I am fighting for the safety and well being of my customers, neighbors and myself. I am a responsible adult. Once again I ask– what are you?

    3. @Truthfinder “donnie boy has lied so much his cult” I would say that that is being derogatory and considering you brought up Trump that makes Joe Biden fair game.

    4. @William Parks Derogatory? You bet– and it’s well deserved. Biden isn’t the president who screwed this whole thing up, it’s your boy donald. Biden is the one who has to come in and clean things up. None of this is about Joe Biden. What planet do you live on?

    5. @Truthfinder well I live on planet earth obviously. But maybe we should reign this back in from a political contest of who’s side is more right back to my original message which is that the news isn’t the news. On one hand I have no problem with the use of crisis actors to a certain extent. But on the flip side when you perpetually use them to drive your narrative it’s disingenuous. I don’t really care about your political views. What I care about is how fake CNN is vs how people perceive it to be. I would have no problem if they were using crisis actors in an actual crisis to prevent harm to actual families and allowed people to understand that’s the purpose of the crisis actors. Allowing the story to be told with a bit of annonimity. But using them to drive a narrative or to misinform people is disgusting. Coronaviruses in humans are the common cold. The most deadly thing about covid-19 is it’s more likely to cause pneumonia. I don’t believe we should have shut down our nation and fleaced our future for a common cold.

  7. My heart breaks looking at them. I work for a large credit card company and every day I have to help people who lost someone because of this. My cousin we just diagnosed and she gave it to her mother. Please people listen to the experts

  8. I just have tears flowing down my face. These are the stories that people Need… to see…. Thank you for showing this. Maybe this will help….

    1. @sanjay kumar who is dead? You are more likely to die from walking across the street than this bs virus and that is if you are 65. If you are younger….you are more likely to hit the lottery…the big lottery.
