    1. Good for you! Excited from NZ to see your great proud nation restored! It will take time, keep going guys and get voting! Biden 2020 or more to the point trump out!

    2. I voted early too… Biden’s the MAN… Trump’s the lying nasty IGNORANT CHILD. Time to go DONNIE 😈!!!

  1. Those doctors should lose their medical license, be prohibited in treating anyone, and should be charged for allowing someone evidently covid positive to go out and potentially spread the disease-it’s medical malpractice.

    1. Trump may be a bad person, selfish and narcissist but he needs to be elected this time also.
      All Trump haters should understand the reality of what is happening around the world now.
      Islamists are gaining momentum all over the world. Their agenda is to establish a Caliphate and they use all kinds of tricks in their arsenal.
      China , Russia, India,…. are all taking strong stand against Islamists agenda. Biden with his liberal policies and with the denial
      of reality cannot be strong enough to stand against Islamists agenda. Actually he is playing in the hands of Islamists.
      Islamists are taking advantage of the weaknesses of the liberal left politics in the Western world. See what is happening in Sweden right now.
      Liberals with their self hating mindset allow conquering tactics of Islam to gain access and destroy their society.
      Most Americans do not know or not interested in what is happening outside their country. Look around and decide.

    2. @soapfanaddict I’m not sure I understand the point you are trying to make.
      I think, there is nothing unusual in the media coverage. Melania has a mild case of Covid, like many people; she apparently copes well, is quarantining and that’s about it. What kind of media coverage do you expect?
      This is not the case with Trump at all. The information given about his condition is incomplete, sometimes contradictory and/or misleading. He’s behaving irresponsibly. As does Senator Mike Lee. He has Covid, yet instead of self-isolating he is endangering his colleagues, not even wearing a mask. This is newsworthy, I think.

      As for Keisha Lance Bottoms, I’ve seen her giving a couple of interviews after she was diagnosed. The media interest was higher back then as she was one of the first prominent officials to get sick with Covid. I suppose, she’s less in the news now as the epicenter of protests has moved away from Atlanta. The same is true of Portland, by the way, which was reported on more heavily before the focus shifted to Kenosha. I don’t see malice in that per se.
      Regarding Tom Hanks, I don’t know for sure why he gave the updates. Maybe there was more interest in having him on, given that he has a higher profile than Rita Wilson (just as you didn’t hear as much of Keisha Lane Bottoms’ husband who also had Covid). Or maybe he felt more up to it as his wife was hit harder. He’s quoted in a _Time_ article saying _we had very different reactions, and that was odd. […] My wife lost her sense of taste and smell, she had severe nausea, she had a much higher fever than I did. I just had crippling body aches, I was very fatigued all the time and I couldn’t concentrate on anything for more than about 12 minutes._ (cf.: https://time.com/5863326/tom-hanks-coronavirus-reaction/ )
      Maybe, having sever nausea and a high fever didn’t put her in the mood of giving interviews? Just a speculation.
      I can’t say anything in regards to Kanye West or Kim Kardashian. I don’t care for either one. I mean, I don’t wish them ill but I genuinely am not interested in what either of them is doing! 😁

    3. @Jens Raab Thank you for taking time to make such an articulate and informed reply. Sheesh!!! This is very uncommon on YouTube and various social media platforms. The focus shifted from city to city, so Keisha Lance Bottoms went back into obscurity, so to speak. I never heard of her until she was on NPR’s Marketplace. And that was pre COVID-19.

      The reason I brought that up was the media was quick to jump all over her for wearing high-fashion attire to places where more conservative attire would had been more appropriate. She tests positive for COVID-19, and the media is mum about her status.

      If only talk show hosts and comedy shows did their political and news monologues/skits with a combination of Howard Stern, Ricky Gervais, and Alex Jones reality, I bet things would change. The U.S. government would probably turn into China, Africa, Japan, and Cuba, and heavily censor and heavily regulate television with new legislation or by Executive Order.

    4. @soapfanaddict Thanks for the nice words.
      I didn’t know about this about Keisha Lance Bottoms! I’m mostly following politics so I missed out on the fashion story.
      Maybe the programs that covered this fashion “scandal” didn’t think their viewership was interested in the Covid story? But I have to agree with your disappointment; if they indeed did give her so much attention before it’s not great to ignore her plight with the then relatively new illness.

    1. Quick list 3 lies Trump made that is verified and not just made up on MSNBC which is a CHinese military owned station..

    2. Doctors and Administration. Really, anyone involved with Trump lies. He has contaminated them with his MoronAvirus.

  2. The fact that the doctors were required to sign NDAs tells us everything about what we are hearing right now, its all Trump’s lies!!

    1. you’re stupid.. they work for the president.. There is no fact they had to sign NDAs you are just watching chinese propganda moron.. this channel is owned by CHINA don’t be stupid..

    2. @xlioilxYou’re calling other people stupid? The irony would be rich if only you understood what irony is.

    3. What i didn’t hear that part. I was to busy reading the comments. Now i gotta watch it again with my headphones.

    1. Look AT THIS REAL NUT some Trump supporter is def screen shot of this comment to a website right now.. I can just see the comments now.. “They want to arrest doctors” or .. “See it’s proof the left is ANTI SCIENCE they don’t believe doctors know how to take tests because leftys don’t like the results”.. “This is a cult of babies.. LOL they can’t win an election and if they ever did it would end their cozy baby lives.”… very funny you see no one agrees with this but you and the few people who got brainwashed by this Chinese propaganda video..

    2. improper, illegal, or negligent professional activity or treatment, especially by a medical practitioner, lawyer, or public official. Good luck 👍😘

    1. D MP I think few people care what happens to his science-denying supporters. The real tragedy is all the essential workers and their families whom they endanger and put at risk when they continue with self-centred and short-sighted behaviour in broader society, or end up in the ER. That is not fair at all.

    2. UNLESS they die before nov. 3. without voting. game over. MAGAott mentality amazes me. their chant should be; let me die, let me die.

    3. Trump may be a bad person, selfish and narcissist but he needs to be elected this time also.
      All Trump haters should understand the reality of what is happening around the world now.
      Islamists are gaining momentum all over the world. Their agenda is to establish a Caliphate and they use all kinds of tricks in their arsenal.
      China , Russia, India,…. are all taking strong stand against Islamists agenda. Biden with his liberal policies and with the denial
      of reality cannot be strong enough to stand against Islamists agenda. Actually he is playing in the hands of Islamists.
      Islamists are taking advantage of the weaknesses of the liberal left politics in the Western world. See what is happening in Sweden right now.
      Liberals with their self hating mindset allow conquering tactics of Islam to gain access and destroy their society.
      Most Americans do not know or not interested in what is happening outside their country. Look around and decide.

    4. @Aji VJ Trump is not competent to deal with Islamists or any other foreign enemies. He must be voted out.

    1. I agree with you @Jill Sherwood. Stay safe and keep trusting yourself and not in Trump lies.✌️🇺🇸

    2. Because you’re watching a chinese propaganda channel owned directly by China… you’re activly being trained on this station to hate your government. .they’re just lying to you.. Do you even remember one episode that didn’t make you angry about something? This is how you get brainwashed easily.. They say something you kinda agree with .. and then add some nonsense.. now you hate cops.. want to get the president who made jobs out and put in the guy who hates blacks and a woman who put black men in prison for her job and innocent blacks.. ok.. obama lied did MSNBC tell you about that? no he can’t lie? I think people who can’t lie or think can’t lie are in a religious cult.. everyone is falty and makes mistakes.. even Trump.. but not Obama because CULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MENTALITY>> MEDIA MIND CONTROL! Your MIND FOR SALE ..

  3. He’s a showman. Everything is fake about this clown. I doubt he really has covid in the first place. He lies about everything.

    1. Right! I believe it’s tRUMP’s feeble attempt at getting the “sympathy” vote while still downplaying covid45

    2. I don’t think he ever tested positive..he lied that is why no one wants to give dates for his tests negative or positive. They know once it is found out Trump will blame them and make them the fall guy. All that was done was a show to back up his lie. That is why the conflicting information and secrecy.

  4. He did not have COVID.
    Dude had a.cold, chest congestion.
    He has just played the American people in order to say he had the “vaccine” that he promised before election. He is now COVID free and now immune.
    This is trump propaganda at its finest.
    His doctors had to sign NDA to treat him. They know he’s lying.
    This is why the docs can’t give straight answers.
    PROPAGANDA!!!!!!!!

  5. He lies about everything. Those people at his rallies are completely disposable to him. He’s a cult leader, not a President

    1. @sav ok mate!? He thought, New Zealanders after ridding the virus from community spreading, were trying to give him some sort of message to hurt his reelection? As if we were thinking about him and not the welfare of our people!! He is completely delusional

    2. @Dawn S. Tyler 100% true. The people at that rally are brainwashed cult zombies. They would have formed a line and let him spit into their hands. They will vote for him no matter what. There was no need for Trump to put their lives at risk. But he sees them as disposable props. If any of them get sick they were just collateral damage. He knows he’s losing, and he’s desperate to hold on to power now. A sad old man headed towards a historic loss, while out here knowingly spreading his hot Covid. Gross 😷😷😷😷

  6. Get infected from arrogance & stupidity simply get special medical treatment by a team of lying doctors!

  7. This won’t be the first time trump have someone dictate a letter and have doctor sign it.
    Paging Dr Jared Kushner!

    1. I sort of believe he had it, only because I don’t see where claiming to have it would benefit him. He’s trying to make it a positive right now, but he’s a desperate boy.

  8. Unfortunately, with Mr. “very stable genius in charge,” everything is on its way to/for totalitarianism and dictatorship! He MUST leave as soon, as soon as possible! It is already much, much, much more than enough!!!
