Public Has To Double Down On Safety This Winter, Says Top Doctor | Morning Joe | MSNBC

  1. Wear a coat to protect against a COLD, wear a mask to protect against the VIRUS! ๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ‘พ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ‘พ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ‘พ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ‘พ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ‘พ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ‘พ๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ‘ฝ

  2. That’s all well and good, but it’s falling on deaf ears. Those who have taken the virus seriously will continue to do so, and the logically-challenged who haven’t will continue to not. And no amount of facts or reason will sway them. We’re quarantined with the insane.

    1. I disagree! Some of those who deny or speak against mask will learn the hard way. Either by becoming infected or seeing a love one suffer! It is sad!

    2. @Robert b For some, perhaps, but for far too many others in obstinate denial, I don’t believe anything will ever change their mind. Personally, I’ve had five family members and/or friends die of the virus (ranging in age from early 40s to early 80s), plus an additional four who’ve contracted the disease but survived. In every case but one, they took the threat seriously and followed necessary precautions. Most fell ill by either visiting the hospital for other issues (ie. cancer) or by being in a high-risk profession (ie. nurse, teacher, and EMT). And yet despite that, there remain in my extended family a number who believe that it is a hoax meant to make Trump look bad. It’s infuriating! And I live in the the northeast, surrounded by those who, by and large, recognize how serious the situation is. I couldn’t imagine living in certain deep red states where reality is an illusion.

  3. I will be cautious and take the vaccine when it’s available. It’s on you whether or not you want to risk your life and those who you care for.

  4. If the public doubled down on Covid safety, it would hit the barest minimum safety they should have been following for the past 9 months.

    1. You can’t make that happen with over 70M votes for him, they will only spread it as long as that clown is still opening his sexless cologne mouth.

  5. Elite schools with excess resources can hold school with relative safety. Most schools do not have sufficient resources.

    1. Exactly…are those few students who do get covid expendable…oh right the statistics are skewed against minorities so its ok.
      Logic tainted by convenience.

    2. If ALL chip in and give away some TIME when this is over, the children at public schools can be helped.
      Giving TIME to help with homework, giving TIME to aid local teachers in their daily life outside of school, giving TIME to scavage for unused computers and laptoos that can be donated to schools, giving TIME to put those devices into a good standard and updating

      And a h… of a TIME to ravage against bigTech to give the schools the software for free!

    3. Yes. Take some of the 721 billion spent on the defense budget. 10 percent of the budget for 1 year would do wonders.

  6. 1. Tell the public the truth
    2. Show them how to behave by doing the right thing yourself

    In other words: don’t be Donald Trump.

    1. About 73, 000, 000 people voted for him anyhow. My conclusion is they do not care about the pandemic just like he doesn’t.

    2. Quite surprised that donald didn’t get the winged shoes in the face yet.
      Let’s make that happen before he’s being dragged off in a straitjacket.
      Make it count! Instant fame! Wow! Nice Christmas list!

    3. @Karen Byrd those people comprise the biggest cult in our country. No way to begin to dissolve the cult until Trump is out of the White House and his Twitter account closed.

    1. @SS You’re just a victim all the way around, aren’t you child? Scotus will never hear this as there’s no evidence to present, which is why all of your cult leader’s lawsuits have been tossed out of court.

    2. Quite surprised that donald didn’t get the winged shoes in the face yet.
      Let’s make that happen before he’s being dragged off in a straitjacket.
      Make it count! Instant fame! Wow! Nice Christmas list!

    3. @SS Your only source is the RNC, yeah, that sounds believable. Not like actual facts or evidence. Just a bunch of right-wingers throwing around libel.

    4. Just ignore bots like ss, don’t feed the troll.
      This so called vaccine is not entirely 100% effective. Once you take it, you either survive or you’ll die as many already have after taking it as guinea pigs. The fact that not enough data is available because donald trump didn’t want this “virus” to alarm his shareholders at the costs of millions of lives gives you the big picture on how far he will go to get reelected.
      It didn’t happened and we’re glad for it.
      The transition will happen for Joe Biden no matter what donald tries. The military is on standby to escort him off the White House should it be necessary, to the courts to charge him of every single crimes he has committed while “serving” “his” country.

  7. We need to emphasize *gratitude* , that these conditions aren’t worse. And we need another stimulus package.๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
    WE CAN DO IT!!

    1. Quite surprised that donald didn’t get the winged shoes in the face yet.
      Let’s make that happen before he’s being dragged off in a straitjacket.
      Make it count! Instant fame! Wow! Nice Christmas list!

    2. @raymondwise What, you think that they would be like, “Hey we made this vaccine, but because the orange cheeto hasn’t talked to us yet you can’t have it.” Come on.

  8. Pro covid19 Trump GOP and republicans and Senate- โ€œ America does not need PPP it needs Amy barret! The Senate decided to nominate a corrupt supreme court judge instead of giving America PPP and then they decided to go on vacation until next year leaving America out in the cold ๐Ÿฅถ to fight covid19 by ourselves, Georgia youโ€™re the only hope to save America please vote for the Democrats so America can survive the trump virus ๐Ÿฆ 

  9. The GOP’s wild attempts to secure an illegal victory are irreparably damaging our democracy, friend and foe alike.
    …………………….And I won’t EVER forget.

  10. New Living Translation
    Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me. Psalms 66:20

  11. Meanwhile, on fox news, t’rump’s “doctor” is telling people masks are for losers.
    Which is ironic since he was hired by the guy who lost re-election in historic fashion! ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚

    1. A Trump groupie friend keeps saying you can’t blame Trump for the pandemic. She refuses to acknowledge people do not blame him for the pandemic, they blame him for his lies about it and his inept, inadequate response, and lack of a clear plan dealing with the virus. Instead he is more concerned about having his name on the vaccine and getting credit for it? That is Trump for you! He does not care about any of us. Don’t kid yourself.

  12. All you can do, is take care of yourself and follow the guidelines, because thereโ€™s no leadership. You canโ€™t change the mindset of others.

  13. “If you have a big family gathering for Thanksgiving, expect a small family funeral for Christmas.” – Amy Goodman
