96 comments

  1. What we need is a real American President to address our national concerns. Not traitor Trump.

    1. @Walter White yes , yes trolltard… We all are talking your bullsh-t with the single grain of salt it contains there sweety. The only thing fake here is YOU TROLLTARD ! JOE BIDEN WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WITH HOUSE AND SENATE CONTROL ! ENJOY !

    2. @Walter White Only tRump was hiding in the bunker….no troll pay for you, or you’re the uneducated drumpf loves.

    3. @Walter White
      Biden is sitting at home protecting himself and his family and friends from the revenges of covid19
      And winning!
      Whereas Satan’s little boy Acting president bunker baby trump is winning more votes for Biden every time he opens his lying mouth!
      All I can say is KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK tRUMP!
      President elect Biden and all the Democrats and most SANE americans really appreciate your good work!!!!

    4. Welcome to LANDSLIDE NOVEMBER!!! This will be the worst defeat in US Presidential election history!

  2. Remember when oligarch Trump threatened to ‘cancel’ the Fourth of July last year? Looks like he finally fulfilled that campaign threat too.

    1. @Walter White Sorry Walter, but you are 100% wrong, don’t try tossing OSHA in there, I deal with OSHA every day and I know exactly what they say….the mask does nothing to reduce you O2 intake.

    2. Tell that to seniors with illnesses. Tell that to the families that have loved ones.
      Tell that to adults, young adults and young children who have congenital issues.
      125,000+ in America

      Trump ignored all this…he is disgusting. Pence is now wearing a mask. Are you Trump supporters are really that stupid?? I can’t wait till Trump gets covid!

  3. the only reason the Republicans are finally taking this seriously is because NO country anywhere wants to open it’s borders to the US and again that would ultimately cost them revenue

    1. ​@lexa harpell I’m actually from NSW, but I figured WA was the clearest example to give of the revenue benefits of control 🙂 Can’t use my state, cause Gladys has gone from forcing the federal government to act with lockdowns, into refusing to do anything other than politely ask the people to do her job for her & not travel here. Dunno what’s wrong with her! She looks exhausted, not sure if that’s impacting her judgement or what, she’s done well up to now, but not supporting her on the lack of action re Victoria & flights still happening between Sydney & Melbourne.

      Your state was smart! Wish mine did like yours! What was with your trains though lol That gave me some laughs, I mean I know you basically have it contained, so no real issues, so therefore funny to look at pics like this https://www.abc.net.au/cm/rimage/12247082-3×2-xlarge.jpg?v=2 while our government buses have apparently been turned into mini-buses, with a 12 person limit on them lol

      & US state leaders really need to grow some balls! Our government had to & had to risk trump’s wrath, as did the rest of the world, Canada had a really hard task with doing their border block, but we’ve all done it, cause we need to. US states need to to! Hawaii has (14 day quarantine for other states), their numbers are similar to our country’s regular ones as a result

    2. ​@Walter White so tell me how a mask filters out oxygen while allowing nitrogen & carbon dioxide through. You’re good at chemistry, especially that which breaks down the carbon that is human bodies you need to dispose of, so that one should be easy for you right? Unless of course you’re a fraud – which you are if your “pure” product is blue not clear btw

    3. @Lilac Lizard LOL! ur prolly referring to the popular Netflix series “Breaking Bad”.
      Go to: http://www.wecantbreathe.news BTW, whenever I ride my motorcycle out on country roads
      it makes me think of visiting my grandparents house as early as when I was 4 years old I can
      still remember the smell of their lilacs around their house. http://wecantbreathe.news Facts are Facts.

    4. @Lilac Lizard I’m actually from Sydney…had been traveling Aust and landed in rural SA when COVID began. So not affected by any ‘city’ stuff yet was near the first outbreaks in the Barossa.
      I’m all for strict lockdowns and jumping onto even the smallest outbreak.
      People seem to forget that COVID began from ONE person….meanwhile 10 mill world cases – 500/- deaths later.
      Can’t believe the arrogant and ignorant stupidity of the USA. They are all about the $$$ and your example is clear why they should be strict, even if not for the people sadly. They are failing miserably on both fronts.
      Keep you and your loved ones safe Lilac…xxx

  4. Another example of the consequences for politicizing a Global Pandemic. The hypocrisy will never be self internalized by these hard-headed Americans and Politicians.

    1. Exactly. It seems like many Americans do indeed politicize this virus, when the truth is it doesn’t discriminate when it comes to infecting people. Whether you’re a Democrat or Republican it doesn’t matter, this virus doesn’t care.

    2. it wouldn’t be politicized if the presid ain’t had done his job from day one, & his party hadn’t enabled & supported him. only a few repub’s spoke against his handling of it. should the dems have said nothing? it’s only ‘politicized’ because one side is sticking with the only one who has the power to get it taken care of, but defiantly refuses to. someone has to speak up for us. & they speak for all of us-repub’s & dems.

  5. 4 months, 125,000 dead Americans.
    Thats what it took for political leadership to put common sense medical advice above partisanship.
    Politics is going to destroy this nation if we don’t start to put the nation first

    1. @UCQXyuyLqG0kDpv2IQSVbbvw yup & with the pandemic & entering winter as the backdrop & him still there, but outgoing for another 2 months after that election!

    2. America: China fudges its numbers on Covid19?
      Trump: we should stop testing for covid19 because the more you test increases the number of cases?
      But China who is doing millions of tests are manipulating the numbers/////////
      Come on !!!!!!!!!!
      What’s really unbelievable is for the first time ever, the US is really “NUMBER ONE” at something, and they are doing their best to deny it!
      SHEEEEZ

  6. We need a national virus approach that is national, not partisan, and that responds, not reacts, to this pandemic. We needed this months ago.

    1. but you know you’re not going to get one, so after 125,000 deaths, isn’t it time to move to plan b?

    2. Will. the fake pandemic is never ending.
      ……Wearing a mask lowers your immunity. Covid-19 is a major hoax.
      The requirement for wearing a mask is means of psychological control over our independence, choice, and freedom. While normal atmosphere contains between 20.8 and 21 percent oxygen, OSHA defines as oxygen deficient any atmosphere that contains less than 19.5 percent oxygen. Wearing a mask limits your oxygen percent content and your required intake of oxygen for your heart and lungs. This is 101 for me. This is an artificial man made virus.
      Google: us10130701b2. Yes. Google it stupid. This is a fake virus. You are watching fake news. Facts are Facts!

    3. he should put our money where his mouth is & get our struggling neighbors their stimulus money so they can pay their bills & eat.

    1. Drew Vac yeah ok sweetheart.
      Remember. ALL LIVES MATTER.
      And hide under your bed because the bogeyman might get you. Booo

    2. Drew Vac apart from everything else goes to show how stupid Trump is politically, if he looked at plenty of examples around the world, Australia being one, if you just handled the response to the pandemic halfway decently with some transparency and empathy and listening to scientists, his poll numbers would have gone through the roof and in all probability he would have been a shoe in to be re-elected.

    3. @David Hale I agree that we have and we continue to throw away our power at the grass roots level…people have lost their sense of community and local solidarity over the last several decades…television, social media, me me me, I am the center of the universe attitudes have rendered americans a pathetic undereducated morbidly obese mass of protoplasm. I am sure the rest of world sees us as pathetic. I think some of this was done intentionally by the corrupt ruling class who own mainstream media, the military industrial complex, the medical, pharmaceutical, medical device and hospital complex….they have surrepticiousely been transferring OUR wealth and power to THEMSELVES as we sit around in a trance responding to political dog whistles and becoming enraged at the politicians when we should alternatively be making ourselves, our families and our neighborhoods self-sufficient !
      Subsequent to what I wrote above, I highly recommend the You Tube broadcast “Peak Prosperity” with Dr Chris Martinson…it will guide people who wish to keep theirselves and their families safe in the midst of living in a failing state.
      And to you Aussies out there, count your blessings that you do not live in this country and think twice before you compare Vegimite to Peanut Butter…they are not the same 😉

    4. @William H Music 2020
      America: China fudges its numbers on Covid19?
      But the US doesn’t?
      Trump we should stop testing for covid19 because the more you test increases the number of cases?
      But China who is doing millions of tests are manipulating the numbers/////////
      Come on !!!!!!!!!!
      What’s really unbelievable is for the first time ever, the US is really number “ONE” at something, and they are doing their best to deny it!
      SHEEEEEZ!!!

  7. I was sick for 3 months with covid-19. Mostly exhaustion due to lack of oxygen, but it still took 3 months for me to feel good after getting the virus.

    1. Yeah, IIRC the damage it does can leave people with a lung capacity diminished by 30% for months, although take that with a grain of salt as I’m just remembering off the top of my head.

      It seems to take a terrible toll on the body regardless.

    2. @Toussaint Chivars All my bills were covered by the VA, I’m a retired veteran. When I got the virus, there was only 5 known cases in the entire state of New Hampshire. And, just an FYI, I’m an independent. I don’t vote for party, I vote for best candidates to do the job whether it be state, local or federal and tend to have progressive political views.

    3. @Thomas Parkin It certainly has in my case. I feel like I’ve aged 10 years in just the past 4 month. Oddly, my chest ex-rays showed my lungs were fine both times.

    1. His base is being….uncareful. Would not do if some of them didn’t make it to the general election.

    2. profound as always. ……Wearing a mask lowers your immunity. Covid-19 is a major hoax.
      The requirement for wearing a mask is means of psychological control over our independence, choice, and freedom. While normal atmosphere contains between 20.8 and 21 percent oxygen, OSHA defines as oxygen deficient any atmosphere that contains less than 19.5 percent oxygen. Wearing a mask limits your oxygen percent content and your required intake of oxygen for your heart and lungs. This is 101 for me. This is an artificial man made virus.
      Google: us10130701b2. Yes. Google it stupid. This is a fake virus. You are watching fake news. Facts are Facts!

    3. @Walter White Darling, no one is suggesting wearing a mask 24/7. You maintain that COVID-19 is both a ‘hoax’, and man-made. How can it be both? It either exists, or it doesn’t. Worldwide infection rates are persuasive enough evidence of its existence. And finally, you maintain that a patent on an animal vaccine for use in husbandry is ‘proof’ that COVID-19 is ‘an artificial man made virus’. Without question, vaccines are fabricated in laboratories for a variety of purposes, but you show no evidence at all that _this_ particular virus, COVID-19, is associated with the work on the patent you cite. It is very possible that COVID-19 was manufactured in a laboratory, and that is was accidentally or worse, intentionally, released on the public at large. _But this does not negate that fact that it is with us, and among us, NOW._ Worry about who to blame for it later. For right now, get the damned thing under control swiftly and aggressively. The wishy-washy response to the virus in this country has only unnecessarily prolonged the episode.

  8. McConnell is preaching masks should not be stigmatized. Uhh, look in the mirror. Look at your fake conservative MAGA cult.

    1. Yeah, the Trump death cult is dying off so now the Republicans are encouraging masks…too little too late.

    2. Your going to make McConnell stick his head back into his shell with talk like that.
      Just support him. He is more afraid of the MAga Cult than u are

    3. Seudon Amous

      Yep. As a dog trainer I always reward behavior I like and want more of. Here’s a cookie, Mitch, but we’re still voting the GOP out.

    4. The US postal service must be very slow!
      if it takes this long for the Repug party to get permission to take some action against covid19 from President Putin!!!!!!!!!

    1. @Walter White wow. hahahaha! putin, you sneaky devil, come out & show your face, you crafty little stinker. how’d you get on here?

  9. Florida is now having more cases per day than The UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Canada, South Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand combined.

    Florida has a population of 21 million, these countries have over 500 million.
    Florida is doing less tests per day than what the UK is doing, nevermind all the other countries.

    Yet somehow people like Trump and DeSantis are still managing to gaslight their uneducated followers into believing the ONLY reason states like Florida have a lot of cases, is because of their large population size and because they’re doing a lot of testing!!!

    1. @lexa harpell To answer your question, we don’t really look at other countries unless we’re trying to win an argument on something. That’s just kind of how we are.

    1. Jeff Haddix and you’re defending rioting and looting by calling them peaceful protesters. Just like your democrat leaders. Truly pathetic

    2. Jeff Haddix that’s how stupid you really are. Sweetheart isn’t a sexual remark. It’s a remark used to tell children that their opinion is worthless.Ok sweetheart

  10. Trump and Pence MUST be held accountable for all the COVID-19 deaths. They are guilty of 125,000 (and growing) counts of 2nd degree murder/involuntary manslaughter, penalty death!

    1. @Bato Keto wow. & he still let 10,000 in after that ‘ban’. watch what he does, not what he says. he’s a lazy person’s ‘president’. he can, & does, say anything to you & you believe it, & run wit it. the only problem is, it happened nowhere but in his head. pick up a newspaper & a book once in a while ignoramous.

    2. crocusflower Trump save Millions of American Lives while China 🇨🇳 Joe called him racist and went into hiding in the basement 😂😂😂

    3. Denise Hall why redeem? Trump is the CHOSEN 😇 ONE
      The American people has spoken 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  11. OH LOOK 6 months AFTER this virus has spread and hundreds of thousands have DIED and finally MOSCOW MITCH says something that makes sense .

    1. The fake pandemic will never be over. You just dont get it, do ya? This is the new normal.
      ……Wearing a mask lowers your immunity. Covid-19 is a major hoax.
      The requirement for wearing a mask is means of psychological control over our independence, choice, and freedom. While normal atmosphere contains between 20.8 and 21 percent oxygen, OSHA defines as oxygen deficient any atmosphere that contains less than 19.5 percent oxygen. Wearing a mask limits your oxygen percent content and your required intake of oxygen for your heart and lungs. This is 101 for me. This is an artificial man made virus.
      Google: us10130701b2. Yes. Google it stupid. This is a fake virus. You are watching fake news. Facts are Facts!

    2. Walter White wow you must live in your mom basement anyone that weird and that crazy can’t hold down a regular job you must have a menial job . Please seek professional help they can help you and give you medications to make you normal again!!!!

    3. @Brian Stees …..LOL! There is nothing wrong about having a job, ever. No matter how menial the job.
      The haters just tell you that cause they are jealous. As you know at an older age a physical job
      and a puppy or other loved one to come home to is very healthy. That will make you live longer.
      Facts are Facts. You will find out in just a few short months that everything I am saying will all
      come true. Facts are Facts.

  12. Trump’s betrayals know no bounds. Once he’s ripped out of the White House, there needs to be a reckoning.

    1. That’s Great I can’t wait to put all you Trump people in jail for the rest of your life for being traitors to the United States!!!!

    1. Our leadership is denying the severity of the disease and encouraging people to get out and continue to spread it.

    1. That’s because we have a stupid incompetent leader called Donald Trump who is in denial that this is a pandemic all the other countries at least a decent leaders they have a brain in their head that understand that they need to follow the science and that the disease will subside if they do what they’re told and guess what most of Europe has done that and now they’re on a big decline were the US is on a rapid increase

    2. YES!!! It seems so simple to solve this problem and look at these stumbling bumbling idiots!!!! Incredible!!!
