Three More Coronavirus Deaths Announced In Washington State, Bringing Total To 5 | Katy Tur | MSNBC

    1. Benny Bees He was also probably exhausted working on shift. Nothing left to fight the infection with.

  1. I’m old enough to remember when Trump said last week that in a few days the number of people with the virus will be 0.
    Trump is a *HOAX!*

    1. WOW, He Said that??!!! WOW, how can We have a leader like that, Not even taking this Seriously.

    1. @Stephen Travis The white can only achieve little things by invasion. With China who brings justice to the world and stop invasion, they can achieve NOTHING but cry angrily like you. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

    2. @Eason Huang the hospitals the US builds, most will last for 50 years before they’re obsolete, I dont know why the west tolerates the low standards of the communist Chinese, more jobs will leave , 4 more years of Trump, and the dragon might be tamed

    3. @Troy Stocker Trump will only care about his administration, not after. Do his American first all he wants. Factories will not be back to the US, and enjoy your huge national debts~ 1/3 of national income of the US is used to pay just the interest. And today when Powell announced to lower the interest rates, interest rate on T-bonds is also lower, plus the stock market also dropped significantly. All these show that the world is tired of the US with potential debt crisis at any moment.
      The only thing the US can do is try to mess up the world so people will think the US is the heaven for money. Not gonna happen when the mighty China is there. 💪💪💪💪

    4. @Eason Huang Yes, they have negative pressure and drainage but that’s far less impressive than you think as it’s just air ducts and sewers. As to 4g, that’s a nearby cell phone tower. Have you checked with your local hospital as to how they will be converting rooms to negative pressure? They do it by reversing the fanbon the forced Air heating and air-conditioning systems. Have you seen the videos of these impromptu hospitals and quarantine centers in China, everyone are wearing winter jackets in them, that’s because reversing the fan prevents the heating system from working. A few years back, the largest hospital in my city discovered that reversing the airflow to switch certain rooms to negative pressure actually blew the air into the smokers lounge. It may all sound like high tech but negative pressure and drainage are just reverse airflow on the HVAC and proper sewage and 5g has nothing to do with the building and everything to do with cell phone towers.

    1. @Drake Fire It’s a good thing the front line state officials have been on top of this for over a month!!

    2. So far there’s only 3,000+ deaths, on account of there probably being more.

      But seeing how there’s billions of us around, I’d say it’s very slow at this rate, but hopefully won’t speed up.

      Predictions say it could reach the millions in just the coming months, without aiding and bad attendance.

      Which to me is absurd.

      So much for modern healthcare.

  2. “Right now it’s 16, soon it will be 10, and then zero by some miracle. Or not.” – t’rump
    So, guessing we’re going with “or not?” 🤔
    Lessons in leadership, for sure! 🤣🤣

    1. The chain of infection is no longer traceable. It used to be that the infected have connections to traveling to or from China. Now you have cases with no link to China travel. Its already in the city.

  3. What’s scary is that they did not diagnose them until they died. How many more are there?

    It’s Wuhan all over again!

    1. @Joseph Desouza Last time, H1N1 the “Swine Flu” originated in US and caused deaths of 000s. US set a role model first.

    2. @Python PogChamp Man made virus like that is beyond the technology level of current human beings. If China is able to do so, it had better wipe out the US in silence.

    3. @Python PogChamp In your wet dream, yes. In real life, no. China is clearly more important now, since the world is insecure about the US’s economy right now.

    1. You mean the macaroni virus (Vee-Rus) man I heard it’s very dangerous especially when you eat it in motels 😂💀☠️☠️

    2. @JJ – 06KS – Great Lakes PS (1476) laugh it up chuckles… you could be next. This virus doesn’t care who you are ✌& ❤

  4. Fourteen cases and five deaths? Either it’s more dangerous than we are being told or a helluva lot of people actually have it already.

    1. @b gilley yeah I suppose Americans aren’t exactly the picture of health, even young people unfortunately

    2. Trixie our DNC is doing everything in their power to make sure Trump wins again. The corporate wing of the DNC is just as criminal as these ” fascists ” on the Right.

    3. The death toll is so high because those who have contracted the virus were elderly and had underlying medical conditions. I deliver medical equipment to the Lifecare Center of Kirkland and Most everyone there has compromises immune systems as it is. It’s no surprise it’s spreading quickly there.

    1. @FatimaMariam1 Sbr which made me rethink this new job in my medical field. I’m gonna wait til April to return, i cant bring a sickness like this home to my family…. i rather be broke, than dead

    1. YEP – fourty years of oligarchic attack on E PLURIBUS UNUM. FORTY years of being told we dont deserve stuff we cant afford – like healthcare and shelter and clean food and water. Basic stuff. We have gone third world since around 2000 Id guess. Its sociopathy, neoliberalism. We MUST get the oligarchs out of the places of power. ThIS is a concerted attack to extract the nation’s wealth and divide the people. Maybe now we will wake up and stop shooting ourselves in the foot cuz we gotta OWN the LIB, or whatever the MAGAts are spouting about today.

    1. Jack Boot, at least now we know a mandated quarantine will include SOME people, for whatever reason, being housed in motels.  They would not be placed there under a self quarantine status and I say that to say, not out of panic but rather common sense, there must be some level of security to keep these people contained. I can’t imagine they would be charged money but I also can’t imagine why these people were selected.

    1. @Allan Boucher there are Hundreds of CLOSED hospitals (thanks to Trump) across America.. imma guess that would be better than a motel

    2. They are quarantining these people in a hotel to let them die like back during the black death. People were locked in homes and entire villages were locked down to let people die. Coronavirus has no working medicine, if you get it, it’s all up to your immune system if you live or die. Yes, younger people under the death age of 65 have also died from this. So don’t think just because you’re young you won’t die from this virus.

  5. Covid 19–discovered NOVEMBER 2019……..Do you know how MANY people have travelled in and out of the country since Nov–with 3 major Holidays in there????? Be safe!! Your government placed some Travel bans….kinda like closing the barn door AFTER the horse got out!!

    1. @Pomadren 123 Yeap. Let’s PRAY is NOT US. because Nobody KNows and is Scary, Very Scary, I am Scared.

    2. @Youtubeisbroken Aren’t We the Better and the Most Richest & Powerful Nation in the World?? That is What they Keep Saying in Every Conference Meeting they have and they tell it to the World, then They have to Put their Foot in their Mouths.

    3. Jennifer Lorence I’m not sure what being the most powerful nation has to do with the availability of testing.

  6. Richest country in the world and their response to the outbreak is a motel 😂🤣 American politicians need to do better

    1. @Azazels Wrath The problem is that They Should have been preparing more than a Month ago, but as usual, they kept Saying to themselves “We have Everything Under Control, We Are America”, that’s until there’s an Outbreak and then Nobody has Anything Under Controla and don’t Know What to Do.

  7. I have a feeling a whole bunch of people are walking around with the virus and don’t know it.

    1. @Mercury Angel well duhhhh USA sucks when it comes to taking things serious . Shout out to Canada for taking this seriously

    2. Keke Jones Lol Welp that’s starting to change with the two we have now since this morning in Georgia

  8. Pence/Azar handling this by censoring the epidemiologist at the CDC. Just like officials in Wuhan censoring the doctor who rang the alarm. How did that work out for China. Evangelical hypocrite and a pharmaceutical lobbyist running the show. What do you think is going to happen?🤦🏻‍♂️

    1. You spout propaganda as if its true. We don’t know what is going to happen, but spreading fear and falsehoods is harmful.

    2. Pat Ho disaster, I’ve been pretty consistent arguing with trumpets about how decisions he’s made/making will have negative consequences when something like this takes off(back when he was defunding the cdc..)

    3. @Karl K Yeah, because everything Trump says is true, right? Give me a break! Didn’t you watch the press conference in which he announced Pence would be leading the efforts for controlling the spread of the virus? As soon as he was asked a question, he waved his little hands good bye and took off. What kind of leader is that?

  9. Will the victims and families of victims pay the medical fees ?
    In China, Korea , France, Germany and Italy, the treatments are all free, even for foreigners

    1. @Abhay Achal Yeah, until it fails, let’s See how the “Best” healthcare system in the World handles Something like this. This is when the “Best” healthcare in the World will Put their Foot in their Mouth.

  10. We have to pray for the doctors and nurses putting their lives on the line to save these folks 🙏🙏🙏😷

    1. Particularly given that no one has immunity as it’s a novel virus recently transmitted to humans. The healthcare workers are essentially endangering their own lives to help others. Protective equipment are not perfect and after repeated visits to infected patients, the virus will eventually get through.

  11. When “3rd World” countries have a better testing, quarantine, etc., than America, you know this Administration had knocked America off her pedestal!

    1. YES, indeed, but in every Press Conference the Only thing that blabbers Out of their mouth is “We live in the Best Nation in the World” and “We have Everything under Control” Who are they trying to convince?? Us, or themselves??
