  1. Your totally correct- I am scare they will run out soon then what about 2 nd wave – working in the frontline – every time trump says anything I scream ! He is a liar

  2. To know how Trump will answer a question or how he will act DOES NOT mean we are use to it doesn’t make it “ New normal “ what Trump says and does is not and never will be normal

  3. GOP, 45 and his Cultist are hoarding and keeping PPE supplies low and demand high to pull a premium profit. open up the books on the top GOP like Mitch, Graham, Jared and 45 you'll see how much they made off American deaths

  4. Stop Whining the King Of Ventilators Already got You Every Thing you WANTED now Be Thankful & trust Trump God Bless America

  5. USA: 12 million tests and 1.6 million positive cases and a postive case rate of 13.4%. Deaths 95000
    Australia: 1.14 million tests and 7000 positive cases and a postive case rate of 0.6%. Deaths 100

    Big difference in the overall COVID 19 infection rate! Definitely not under control in the USA.

  6. Arkansas, Kansas, and Iowa are Republican states with a total of 9 million people. As of May 1st, collectively, they had 16,000 COVID cases TOTAL with approx. 2200 hospitalized. From Trumps placards, they received the following: 16,500,000 masks, 4,700,000 gowns, 350,000,000 surgical gloves. You do the math. Remember that nurse said she used her N95 for a week.

  7. That 42% wouldn't be in Democratic states would they? Remember when the nurse brought in for photo op said she wears her N95 for a week? Then Mangolini started his GOP state GOV scrums. In the background were placards stating massive supplies delivered thru Apr and early May. April was the month FEMA was scooping supplies and outbidding states for them.

  8. That 33% of health care workers who have all the PPE that they need are in red states, which is where Trump has sent the most protective materials, despite their lesser needs. When Trump says everyone has all the PPE they need, he means, as he always means, everyone who will vote for me has all the PPE they need.

  9. My dad has just died of this virus, hours ago. He caught it in a hospital. No one’s, “fault,” I don’t think? Seems they all did their very best for him? Here’s the thing though. He died in England. If it had been in America, how could I NOT think he might be alive, if it wasn’t for Donny’s time wasting, greed, and stupidity? I can’t imagine the fury, rage and heartbreak that knowing this must be causing so many families. At this rate, there will be NOT ONE American left, who has not lost someone to Covid, and who will be left pondering if that person COULD still be alive? Donny has blood all over his hands

  10. Over in the UK we have thousands of volunteers making non-surgical scrubs out of donated fabric, some of it is old sheets. People are making these in their own homes, no help or co-ordination from government. Others are making face shields using 3D printers to make head-bands and acetate sheets for the visor itself.

  11. The House should bring charges against Senator Mitch McConnell for Aiding and Abetting the Impeachable offenses of "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

    U.S. Constitution – Article 2 Section 4
    The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

  12. Barries best joke is his life.
    Barry Soetoro aka Obozo aka Hussein Obama is a homosexual married to big Mike Robinson aka Mouchelle Obama.
    Their whole lives are one big lie!

  13. Contrast this PPE shortage with all the trillion$$$$ spent on "defense." You need MORE proof that brains get you further than money? Your tax dollars at work.

  14. .. and Trump: “This is why the whole concept of tests aren’t necessarily great,” the president said last week during a meeting with congressional Republicans at the White House, referring to Miller. “The tests are perfect, but something can happen between a test where it’s good and then something happens. … She was tested very recently and tested negative, and then today, I guess for some reason, she tested positive.”
    Something happens, yes, really good deduction: she get ill. That is how viruses works.

  15. Trump sent much needed Ventilators to Putin! They are needed here, in USA. He makes decision base on who strokes his ego. Not on Americans, such as Doctors, Nurses and Patients sick from COVID-19. We have a Horrible Monster in The White House.
