  1. This pandemic has sucked for everyone. I hope it gets better this year for everyone. I hope y’all have a better year.

    1. @Maurice Coffee thank you! That was very sweet and nice of you. You be safe out there too. God bless you always🙏🏾 ❤❤❤

    2. @William H Music 2020 It’s only a sham to the likes of you, because it hasn’t affected you or your family or friends. You are part of the problem, and its disgusting.

    3. Nah not everyone just us that believe Covid is real and have been affected by it. Rather personally experiencing it or losing someone to it.😭

  2. People will say she’s acting or it’s fake but what’s really fake is them being a human and having no feeling for others

    1. @Lions 88 Here we go! That’s what’s eating you! She has a job and able to pay her rent, and you’re not. Are you feeling same upset towards doctors and nurses that still have a job and are still able to pay their rent? Maybe they should give up and go on strike.

    1. she didn’t have the same sympathy when she covered the mumbai terror attacks in 2008. she was most uppity and arrogant. setting up a tent and ordering pizza for whole world to see while brown ppl were dying all round her. Karma is a universal law Sara, it applies to Americans too!

  3. No more apologies for compassion! ❤ Your empathy for those who are suffering is louder and more powerful than indifference. Stay safe!😷

    1. Being overweight and diabetic2 are precursors to covid death. People Diabetes2 and obesity is caused by eating sugar and empty carbs. Sugar includes all sweet fruits. Carbs is potatoes and wheat breads. STOP eating them. Instead eat healthy fat. Avocados, low carb nuts, any type of calciferous vegetable. Grass fed meats of all kinds. Goat cheese. If you eat fat, your body doesn’t store fat and you become less insulin resistant. This is not a lie & I’m not selling anything, just trying to help. I lost 80lbs and no longer have high blood pressure. 42″ waist to a 34″ waist. No time to loose…. I can hear the drug companies cringing right now. “Don’t take my sunshine away” –> “Don’t take my cashcow away”

  4. I think her tears are not just for what she sees, but for knowing how so much of it could have been prevented and still could be prevented if people would only do the simple things they have the ability to do. Imagine seeing this every day and then watching huge gatherings where no one is even wearing a mask. It’s heartbreaking for her. Thank you Sarah for your kind compassion.

    1. Wendy you are absolutely correct. Like most wars, we only get the reports; the actual terror is in the faces of front-line health workers, public officials and reporters every day. I would venture that a lot of people who are downplaying this simply do not watch the news.

    2. no, WENDY, you CANNOT STOP A VIRUS… and there are lots of people who wear masks that are catching it … your bullshit ranting about people not wearing masks … that is nothing but theater. Absolute lunacy.

  5. Wouldn’t it be nice if the News wasn’t considered fake, that way someone can see that compassion matters. Thank You Sara🌺 massive respect, for what you do and who you are. 🌺

    1. @Nathan Boyer You can’t associate with Nazi’s, accept racism with Donald Trump, then at the same time demand the Truth. That’s called Hypocrisy.

    2. @Nathan Boyer name one lie. You can’t, trump told 60 minutes in the beginning that he tells people the news is fake so they don’t believe anything they say and you ALL still fall for it. Talk about a bunch of sheep.s

    3. All this fake news bullshit started with the fake president and his fake administration and the reason I say they’re fake is because not one day since that MURDERER took office did he and his administration care about us the American people, not even his own ignorant supporters. If they had not been fake they would have cared about us. The reason they started the fake news b.s. was because they knew what they themselves were saying were a bunch of lies and they were just projecting. And they knew that if they started calling the media fake news and if they kept repeating it
      they knew trump’s base were so ignorant that they would believe it and also repeat it.

  6. I cried watching this video, these videos reminds me of how many people have died due to Covid-19. I have asthma and I haven’t seen my brother and niece at least 7months , I miss them but I rather stay safe than end up in the hospital. Thank you for reporting Sara! God bless you.

    1. there are plenty of families who have seen each other … as long as you take precautions, you can spend time with family. You will regret it if something happens and you don’t.

  7. The loss is heartbreaking. I’m not sure how you recover emotionally after a pandemic that was so badly handled by authorities. My heart goes out to every family that lost loved ones. God bless!

  8. This is so heartbreaking. It makes me so angry to see this and then right as I drive by OSU tons of people are lined up for the clubs at night. We need a serious lockdown

    1. A fully funded lockdown for at least two months. Curfews. Penalties for not masking in public. Capacity limitations for essential businesses. All enforced by law. I don’t care if it takes 20 trillion dollars. The economic impact if nothing is done will be far greater.

    1. I remember seeing her report in Libya when it was overthrown. She was as brave as any soldier I have had the pleasure to serve with or meet.
      I admire her, and cannot imagine how she manages.

    2. People at cnn aren’t sincere about anything. They are promoting fake news for a very nice paycheck. The more you know.

    1. Me as well. Her reaction is so human and honest and that is what is needed right now above everything else.

    2. @Lions 88 Your repeated posts attempting to mock this reporters grief say so much about your character. The good news is you’re going to be marginalized from relevance socially and politically, a change which has already begun – in case you haven’t noticed. Good luck in your shrinking echo chamber…

    1. When I was coming up in the 70’s, we had rules and ethics. No women, no children.
      Since when did hating on women become cool?
      Do me, no, do yourself a favor. Go look in the mirror and ask yourself if your mother, your grandmother, your sister, your favorite female cousin would be proud of you.
      Ask yourself if you are proud of yourself.
      Your life will be so much better if you let go of the hate.
      Hate is just like a bag of bricks, you just set them down and walk away.
      I’ll even help you.
      Just walk away from those bricks.

    2. @Jenifer Johnson Please don’t take this the wrong way, but that is part of the problem. I can speak to him on those terms because I can understand where he is coming from. Many people feel left out, forgotten, or people just don’t care.
      People like that are easily radicalized. They have nothing to lose.
      I used to be one of those people.
      Life isn’t so kind to many of us, and this country is feeling the ramifications of that.

    3. @Truth Tella I was going to say that last part to you but I didn’t want to assume you were privileged. But if you acknowledge ppl who are trolling, it’s much worse-like fuel for their fire. A prime example on a much larger scale is, Trump always feels entitled to attention, and he’s one of the most privileged ppl in the world yet his addiction to attention is bottomless. No matter how much you give him, he still does damage. If ppl were not giving him merit from the beginning-like since his campaign for 2016 when he first started accusing Dems of “rigging”, we likely wouldn’t be in this mess and he would’ve had any ok light or chance to mess up our country by being empowered by the attention he got, that led to ppl voting for him and him coming into a position of power to cause even more damage than if not given that chance. Lol sorry long explanation but ppl who troll can cause hurt and fuel anger. There are many other and informative ways to get attention and respect.

  9. Sara, I cried with you. 50yo man, balking like a babyp. This collective bag of emotions is real. Peace to you and be safe.

    1. If you think she’s sad, imagine the people who have been forced to close their business due to covid lockdowns or blm/antifa riots destroying shops. Makes you think huh.

    2. Together we wept feeling the collective sorrow of families for our nation. May our tears bring healing and empathy to those who feel alone. I too am deeply moved. Peace.Love.Forgiveness.

  10. I love Sara Sidner. I’ve seen her cover a lot of tragic/sad stories on CNN. She has a beautiful caring heart.
