U.S. Is In For A Bumpy Ride With Virus, Says Doctor | Morning Joe | MSNBC

  1. With a moral bankrupt for a president encouraging people to throw caution to the wind, things can only get much worse…

    1. @brian gardner actually i live in the city and the ppl i know of who died were the conservatives whites mostly older and minorities (blk & hispanic)

    2. @travelsofablackrose YOU are a liar, there are NO conservatives in NY city. The rich elitist liberals mostly white gave this to the black and others minorities

    3. @Pierre Delecto …ALL I’VE SEEN IS MIDDLE AGED/OLD WHITE IN THE OBITUARIES DEVIL..LOL. CHECK YOUR STATS AGAIN PLEASE..!!! #OBIDIAH. #YOURJUDGEMENTISHERREESAU

    4. Phillip: Except one person doesn’t throw caution to the wind and his name is Donald John Trump. When I see him out mingling with his supporters, along with his children, grandchildren and wife, and the rest of the Cabinet, with Kellyanne (George will wisely stay at home) and Miller, no distancing, no protective clothing, when I see him donate tests intended for the White House to where they’re really needed, then I will believe it is safe for the rest of us to return to normal lifestyles. At least Boris Johnson, if stupidly, had the guts to do that. After experiencing the virus, he changed his tune. This president proves himself again to be the wimp he always has been.

    1. @Patrick Kingfisher Kennedy yeah he’s running USA just like he’s running his casinos down the tubes

    2. @WHAT WABBIT HO come on guys…This is SARCASM…no, REAL sarcasm..right?….not the kind you pretend to be dishing out where you ask a leading scientist in front of a national audience of MILLIONS of people if putting disinfectants into the lungs by some means to battle the virus might be something they should “look into” as a potential treatment. it HAS to be sarcasm…no one can be that consistently stupid…or can they…?

  2. Ya we always think we’re the greatest but once again we come off as arrogant and foolish to the rest of the world.

    1. The American people are not arrogant or foolish, your government is. The world is praying for you. Don’t lose faith or give up!

    2. Also, Please remember you have the largest population of any democratic country on earth. Much love and prayers from a friendly Canadian. All the American people mean alot to us!

    3. Doug Schaufele that’s the problem, most Americans think their country is the greatest, it’s far from the truth and Americans seem to have no interest in how other countries live, it would shatter their illusion

  3. Doctors: Wait for 14 day downward trend of new cases before even THINKING of reopening

    Governors: Ok, so its OK to reopen on our highest single day of death right?

    America has crap leadership. We are doomed.

    1. @Pierre Delecto
      Governer Romney is that you …jump from Twitter
      You’d want to thank the devil
      God ain’t got s*** to do with this dude
      Add a prayer breakfast with Christians he said he cannot forgive and Pelosi doesn’t pray for him
      oh wait he’s the chosen one
      Rotfl GTFOHWTBS

    2. Things are bad because idiots don’t wear masks. You want to blame Trump or someone else, blame yourself.

    3. I’m curious to see just what our governor will do..our lockdown is til may 15th..but pur cases are still rising..not so many deaths but still..if he opens us up..i feel trouble..yes..we had protests..but not many showed..maybe 100..if that..all trump supporters if THAT tells you anything..but..we are a blue state..

    4. @kittensplayingathome only trump supporters don’t wear masks..why? Bc the orange yeti stood on the stage for the world to see while he said..”I’m not wearing a mask”.. so of course..his cult members won’t either..hmmm

    5. kittensplayingathome broke protesting right wingers in the streets in droves with no masks in sight and they’re blaming everything on city governors lmao how about you walk the walk before talking the talk. They’re not blaming themselves when they get sick!!!

    1. Cindy you have got to get through May, June, July, August, September and October to get to November. There is no guarantee that Trump’s deluded base will desert him, they believe every word he says. He is ruthless in the way he goes after his political and perceived enemies. He lies as easily as he eats Big Macs. He is dangerous and now the Democrats have chosen a 76 year old man to oppose him, who is being engulfed in an historic sexual assault accusation, which could do him serious political harm. Joe Biden was Obama’s Vice President ergo he is a saint that is an extremely dangerous strategy. You could find Trump wins in November because he is without morals or conscience.

    2. Asap or everyone in America will be killed for billionaire interests money not peaple. Can’t believe he tryed to hide behind Honest Abe Lincoln crying eyes has he wept for our peaple.

    1. Oh and he was so close to saving face with his beloved stock market.. Until coviditus-19 tanked it all! His ineptitude on full display..lol!!

    2. Pierre Delecto
      Trump is an abject failure. If he had died be his job, we would only have a couple thousand dead and we would be far closer to being able to safely reopen. You Trumpturds are morons for following such an incredibly stupid man.

    3. brian gardner
      “…like the president was saying…”. Bullcrap. Blue states put shelter in place orders and Trump didn’t do squat. Don’t try to gaslight us; we know better.

    1. they are the scourge. i think 45 let this escalate because on the back of his mind he wants this to reach ruth bader gisburg. this is his real target. this guy baffles me. for real

  4. I find it laughable that people & politicians can insist on a date to reopen the economy. You are not in charge, THE VIRUS IS.

    1. @zzt bird No other countries are managing, only you and china are failing badly. If you open up stupidly you will shutdown again.

    2. @Steven Schulte if we dont open up you risk civil uprising and armed insurrection….that would be bad.

    1. AND MIKE PENCE,, THE ULTIMATE SYCOPHANT!!! WITHOUT A MASSIVE FEDERAL TESTING EFFORT,, THE UNITED STATES IS DOOMED, TO SUFFER MASSIVE HUMAN LOSSES!!! ALL BECAUSE TRUMP IS INDIFFERENT TO THE PAIN AND SUFFERING OF OTHERS.!!! VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!!! AND WE WILL HAVE A PANDEMIC TEAM AGAIN!!

    2. I pray daily that trump, pence, kushner, and the entire administration become infected and carries back into the hive.

  5. So sad, America is the laughing stock of the world.The only reason his numbers are up during his press talks is because the world is tuned in to see and heare him make a complete fool of himself on the world stage

    1. @Pop Land True. U.S.A. is not doing the worst (yet). 13 territories are worse but 207 territories are better. So I don’t think it’s anything to be proud of. In fact U.S.A. should have been best prepared because it is allegedly the biggest economy in the world.
      UK is doing better than U.S.A. So now is Italy, France, Portugal, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Belarus, Denmark, Norway, Estonia, etc, etc.
      So it seems Europe learns quickly compared to U.S.A. who just flounders around reciting its false mantras to itself.
      Poor, poor, USAians, whose future seems only perilous.

    2. not just tuned in to watch and listen and marvel and laugh and shake our heads. If it was not soo sad it would be entertaining.

    3. @Larry Borsa I know right! 60 k triathlon athletes regrettably passed. Forget immunocompromised people, old age or premorbid issues such as hypertension or heart disease! Wowzer sheeple

    4. ​@stream2watch Too bad we Americans don’t care of whatever shithole country is laughing bc at the end of the day..when you’re on your knees begging for us to help…we pat your little head, change your diaper and intervene. But now you gotta pay bubba! $$$$$

    5. @Tony FC “Too bad we Americans don’t care”
      The fact that you are wasting keystrokes indicate that you do care. You blew your own argument.
      “when you’re on your knees begging for us to help”
      That does not happen except with third worlders, and the Marshall plan was a long long long time ago . That role has been taken over by the Chinese. If you actually understood geo-politics you would know this. So the message remains unchanged, USA generally, and people like you specifically, is still the laughing stock of the world, fatty.

    1. @Ged Farnan USA knows what they real numbers are but chiina doesnt. you didnt see the guy go live pick up those 5000 urns in wuhan? oh and heilang china closed down again, even their high school. thanks!!

    2. @Michelle is now! Not true some countries have managed this extremely well.Germany,Australia,NZ and most Asian countries.

  6. Trump doesn’t want to help with testing because he knows it will make ‘his numbers’ worse. You can’t get more depraved than that. The republican party is dead.

    1. In actual fact, higher the infected numbers, the lower the fatality rate. He’s either too stupid to get that or Oscar Health, the Kushner company making tests, needs more time 🇨🇦

    2. @Darrell Smith Try serving in the military under one. I should have ran off to Canada.

    1. If Trump doesn’t have enough sense to resign or retire, fix the stupidest POTUS in history if he’s crazy enough to campaign for reelection.

  7. A lot of Americans could care less about the deaths unless it effects them directly.

    That’s what is truly sad

    1. These people are arrogant and stupid. And Trump wants it he loves the uneducated and the stupid I’m so it is this virus. Both Trump and this virus I’m madly in love with these people

    2. YES Sad to say that is very true, will demand to poke their noses in other countries where its not wanted, nut heaven help any one if they offer advice to them

    1. China is playing “Russian Roulette” with this pandemic and how can you put down our president? After all China is the epicenter of this out of control tampering with genetic testing and experiments which equals ” Weapons of Mass Destruction” !

    2. @karen smart Unfortunately because China has successfully gotten away with genetic altering and genocide on a global scale! I have a voice to and just like former Mayor of Los Angeles Tom Bradley he opened his mouth and said a little this and spread a little that = LA Riots ! So tell me Karen do you want to live in this pandemic kaos? I’ll tell you this Los Angeles is growing fast in this Corona virus pandemic because China thinks that they gotten a big problem bigger than the first world war and probably won’t be long now she’ll be breaking the total numbers of cause I’m afraid will be in the million’s! Wake up and shake it off and speak up for our country now!! Fight///////👩‍🔬🦹👩‍🦰👨‍🦰🦸🏽‍♀️🕺🏿💃🕺 Remember the Alamo!!!🇨🇱🇲🇽🇻🇮🇺🇸

    3. No no no my friend. America is a laughing stock because the democratic party has turned people into whinny people that needs safe spaces and hippocrates. And may I add the democratic party is brainwashing a lot of people that cant think for them selfs that guns need to be band and and your right are being taken away and u people are just following alone with there evile plan

  8. So during a shark attack, we are forcing people back into the waters and hoping people are not killed

    1. @Gary Bricault Shame that’s not how the coronavirus works, and capitalism is an ever-open mouth, it’s never full after eating.

    2. @Steve Withers And nobody likes it when I say Americans are all SLAVES & freedom doesn’t exist. Everybody has an invisible chain around their neck. Refuse to work yourself to death like a good little robot drone & they’ll take everything away from you. If humans didn’t require sleep we would all be working 22 or 23 hour shifts.

    3. Mcturtle wants to clears companies of any liability when ppl go work, get sick & die.
      trump says no more aid packages, no snap benefits to at least feed ppl, no testing & tracing, only lying fool

  9. It will be horrific, we have the worst leadership in the history of this country!

    1. @Keith Edmonds is orange a colour of race? (or color if you’re A ‘murcan) I know if you’re Red, Yellow, Brown, Black, White you have every other colour potentially able to have “racist” attitudes against the others…BUT, who ever heard of ORANGE? maybe some species of monkey, but never in a human being!

    2. @i get it the REAL numbers re unemployment have ALWAYS been misrepresented. there are currently (and have been before the virus) far in excess of 20% of the population unemplayed. the statistics that are published only represent a small percentage of those who even qualify to be counted as “officially” unemployed.

  10. Personally I won’t be listening to anything this Administration says to do. We have 2 kids a Girl and a Boy and me and my Wife have discussed the end of this lockdown and we will be maintaining a lockdown for a further 2 weeks to see how things play out. I personally don’t care if some people think it’s a bit harsh, I have COPD and can’t afford to be getting this COVID-19.
    Luckily me and my partner are able to work from home.
    This FCKN President is an IMBECILE and he only thinks of himself so why would anyone listen to him. I get my information from Doctors and Scientists and my last source of information comes from my eyes and the knowledge that we don’t have a vaccine and there is more or less ZERO medications to treat this.
    “I WISH YOU ALL WELL AND HOPE YOU ALL HAVE SAFE SHELTER THROUGHOUT THIS PANDEMIC” XX
