    1. @TRUMP GOD HI, I’m American citizen and voted for President Donald Trump , the BEST PRESIDENT IN AMERICA ! ! ! ! ! And , I will vote for him again , and praying for him ! GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP ! ! ! ! !

    2. @Дарья Веснянская : You are a Russian spy working on behalf of your dictator Putin and his evil orange treacherous traitorous puppet.

    1. Actually it’s trump at war with the governors and medical experts. He should be locked in a closet until this is all over. We’d be better off.

    1. Seoul metro area is 26mil. Still not the number he was looking for (38mil is the largest metro area in the world, Tokyo), but still larger than NYC.

    2. As of 2019, over 9 million people live in the city’s urban area, with 25 million people calling the sprawling metropolitan area home—making it the fifth most populated city in the globe.

    3. Joe Biden claimed that 150 million people in the U.S. have been killed by guns since 2007. That would mean HALF of the country was killed in the last 13 years by guns. Joe Biden makes WAY worse flubs than Trump.

    4. @Tedd James so the population would add up to roughly 34 million then? The rest of the discrepancy in figures could be accounted for by lack of 2020 estimates…So Trump wasn’t wrong about the 38 million figure, right?

    1. Timothy Parsons a 25 year old male died in SD of the virus. Prior to being infected, he was in good health and had no existing health conditions. it’s far too soon to know exactly how and whom this virus effects. we don’t have nearly enough data. as it continues to spread around our country and the world, it will strengthen and become more challenging to treat and vaccinate against. ppl really ought to take this serious and stay home. or don’t, and wait until they send our military to our neighborhood and streets to enforce it.

    2. @Timothy Parsons In February “last year?” That is 2019? There was no COVID-19 in February 2019. It is believed that first cases started sometime during the Fall. You must have had the flu, and Covid-19 is not like the flu.

    1. @Fred Smith hes losing money by shutting down ny and other countries not to mention risking not getting reelected

  1. My grandfather told me years ago when he was a child he used to sing a nursery song ( their once was bird its name was enza I opened the window influenza)

    1. @nanosun I was thinking the same thing. Rosie is a horrible story. It’s amazing how we did it but never asked about it.

    1. It’s sad that you have to help the most powerful country in the world,I really hope America does not forget you

  2. “… I think for the most part they were saying ‘Thank you!’ for doing such a great job.” … If you had a child at home who offered this much self-congratulations, you’d spend some time teaching the kid humility and non-delusional thinking.

  3. We are playing Russian Roulette with Mother Nature… Edit: From Portland, OR, I wish you all the very best. And should things take a turn for the worse: may god bless your soul.

  4. Thank you My Pillow, Honeywell, Jockey, P&G, United Technologies, Raytheon for producing masks, PPE, and sanitation products.

    1. @Chris 1963 Just another sycophant political wannabe using religion for future votes. Remember God is the creator of ALL life………including microbes.

    1. Ashish Shinde It’s useless to discuss this,the only thing we can do is cooperation to defeat the virus.

  5. Stay strong in these Times my 🇺🇲 Brothers and Sisters and may God give you all Wisdom and Strength to handle the Crisis as well as possible. many Blessings from 🇩🇪

    1. @NY Mets Epicenter in Europe was Ischgl in Austria… A small Village with lot of Foreigners visiting for Skiingvacation. It spread from there on trough Europe. Italy and Spain suffer the most right now. Germany is shut down since 2 Weeks, we seem not to do so bad as others. All I can do is stay Home and keep my Faith in God. Be blessed 🙏

  6. Greetings from Malaysia, My family pray for all the people suffering from the virus. I truly hope this virus will fade away. Please hang in there Americans!

    1. Hey I’m Malaysia too. Make sure to be Quarantine. We malaysian should be grateful for the government for Secrificing billion almost trillion of RM to save there People. I’m glad to born into that country 🇲🇾♥️🇺🇸👍

  7. I’ve just found out one of my hi school friends passed from this virus, he’s work with the subway system in NYC for many years and was about to retire this year,,,folks I didn’t really believe it at first about this but this is so real!

    1. Doug G my condolences, I have a friend in Italy who lost two family members. I had the virus my self and got sick, but not hospitalized, but the worst flu I ever had, and I’m 34 and really healthy.
      So sad you are stuck with this joke of at leader.
      Greetings from little “Venezuela”🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

  8. Highly in favor of these daily/ weekly press conferences with our countries leading figures. Even after this i pandemic is done.
