Trump Covid-19 Adviser Urges People To Gather With Elderly On Thanksgiving Despite Risks | All In

“This is a bad idea. 1,800 Americans died today. If we all get together for Thanksgiving we can get it up to 3,600. I don’t know if that is Scott Atlas’ goal—it feels like it honestly. But people should not get inside in big family gatherings on Thanksgiving,” says Chris Hayes. Aired on 11/18/2020.

Trump Covid-19 Adviser Urges People To Gather With Elderly On Thanksgiving Despite Risks | All In | MSNBC

    1. On the bright side, the people that would most likely listen to this messaging from Atlas are Trump supporters. I just feel sorry for the healthcare workers that have to deal with these idiots when they get sick.

    2. @Michelle Harrison It’s complicated. Some welfare people can stay home and be safe. Workers will be hurt…causing welfare spending to increase. Less workers, less businesses, bad economy.
      Capitalism cannot exist without poor people.

    3. @Rahim Majid -There is still no bright side to what you’ve stated; because those idiots, will go out and infect someone who’s being responsible. Healthcare professionals, aren’t instantaneously replaceable. Caring for ICU patients takes specialty training. Not every registered nurse is qualified to work on these units, which means, the skilled nurses will be replaced by nurses that have no experience with critical care patients. It’s so unfortunate, that people sincerely believe any medical license or nursing license, qualifies you to give all levels of medical care. The current occupant, has filled the pandemic team with a veterinarian that bred labradoodles; allowed a voodoo priestess doctor that believed in alien impregnation, to speak about COVID; listened to Rand Paul, an unlicensed Ophthalmologist; and a radiologist, that probably hasn’t cared for an ICU patient, since his second year, in his residency. They are currently turning patients away, at many hospitals and simultaneously firing nursing staff. The ill informed and ignorant, don’t understand how, and why this is occurring, and it’s just to cumbersome to try to explain it to them; because their mental fortitude is as limited as, “individual #1.”

  1. Duh it’s dangerous. It’s been dangerous. For months. He’s complicit in mass murder, as are many of the repulsive Republicans!

  2. The American Medical Association needs to step up and pull his license for violating the Hippocratic Oath, “first do no harm…”. come on now.

    1. @Karin I stand corrected. Thank you I try to learn something everyday and today you were one of my teachers, thank you again.

    2. @Roman Ward happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I wish you all the very best of health. But Dr Atlas is not an epidemiologist and you should know this information.

    3. @nosuchthing8 I certainly don’t agree with his rhetoric but it’s hardly comparable to Nazi war crimes. And, furthermore, the AMA does not revoke medical licensure anyway… the medical board of the state in which the physician practices is the judge/jury on that. The AMA is a private, not for profit organization which is ethics focused. It is not involved with granting or revoking anyone’s license.

    4. @Karin thank you for your thoughtful and extremely informative reply. It’s quite rare and much appreciated.

      I can see the AMA would not be responsible for holding him accountable.

      But on the first point, if covid 19 is 1% lethal in a population of 330 million people, and the r naught is high enough to require 300 million get infected before any herd immunity kicks in, we get 3 million dead Americans. That sounds like a big enough number for a holocaust for me.

    1. People of color too. Remember this is all a racist thing. What counties in Michigan was and Georgia were supposed to throw out ballots?

    2. This is the third wave and it has not even stopped cresting yet. Going to have to watch to rage upwards for a while yet. frump is treating America like a business and we all know he has been bankrupt 6 times and no American bank will not lend him anything. Hard times for many ahead.

  3. Atlas is a behaving like a drunk driver crashing into and killing people. Doctors and epidemiologists are stating the facts, not opinion. By intervening, Atlas is committing reckless endangerment, a second degree felony.

    1. I wouldn’t be surprised to find a half full bottle of gin under his desk. A lot of these fox personalities are drunks.

    1. And little donnie standing next to him shaking his head affirmatively. “Now this guy is spot on carrying my message of freedom!” it is evil. I really can’t think of a better word.

  4. Seriously, it’s not safe! 👽
    Its dangerous like thin ice 😲😷
    👾💀👾💀👾💀👾💀👾💀👾💀👾💀

  5. What the heck is Atlas’ doctorate in………toilet paper wiping????? #NotSmarterThanAFirstGrader #SMDH🙄🙄🙄

  6. Don’t listen to anything the Trump Administration says, more importantly don’t listen to Trump himself. Trump always lies and his administration repeats his lies.

    1. Well that’s what it is, and it doesn’t take a whole lot of research to figure out that this huge push back from certain right wing personalities against “globalism” is nothing more than russian propaganda.

  7. We’re talking Crimes Against Humanity at this point for this Administration. We’re talking Nuremburg TRials. Head of GSA: I was just following orders. (So I could get my next even cushier Republican job.) smdh

    1. Worst president of all time. Surpasses the failures of Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, and Herbert Hoover. An absolute disgrace to mankind. Trump is a malignant plague.

    1. @Roy Bryant I never said it’s a hoax…..but I will be damned not to see family members that may not be around much longer based on what elected officials decide, while they can spend time with their family members. They can’t tell me what to do and ignore the “laws” they put in place for their own benefit

    2. @zu0832 how am I not??? Actually, it seems like I have acted more responsibly than some elected officials who decide to tell citizens how to live, while doing the complete opposite. So yeah, I feel like I am doing the right thing

    3. @zu0832 but I hope your situation is different and none of this affects you like it does some others……you can act as responsible as you like….but I’m sure you still work? Go shopping? Get gas? Take your garbage out? It is completely inevitable to stop this virus, we just have to all do our best to slow it down. The person who drove to the ALF to treat our grandparents had to get gas, get groceries, spend time with their family…..right? So you tell me how you are so responsible that you encounter none of the activities and are so much better than me????

    1. @Perfect if by control you mean understand what is going on and actually do what is good for everyone as a whole then yes

  8. I think Trump and cronies see this as a way to cut Social Security without passing any legislation, just let the virus knock off as many seniors as it can.

    1. At this point you have to shake your head and wonder what is their end game? Anything’s possible isn’t it when your delusional.

    2. So as of now, we just act like our grandpa int exist and leave them alone in ALF???? Do you actually understand the damage done to families through this process while elected Democrat officials will still ignore the same “laws” they put in place???? This is an attempt to push socialism as far as they can to see what the breaking point is. Otherwise why would the same elected officials who push these topics, go against them at the same time???? They don’t even believe in what they spew, but they expect you to

    1. As I recall from a documentary, Hitler said something about dragging Germany into the abyss for failing him

  9. Maybe killing off the elderly is Trump’s way of saving money on social programs like social security? Wheat and chaff and all that.
