  1. Why aren't people listening to that woman from Alabama whose family survived the 1918 pandemic and take the half teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water every morning? It alkalize the system to fight viruses, cancer, bacteria, etc. If she lived 100 yrs to tell the story, her mom did great by them. Watch the video.

  2. PANDEMIC a Nation divided?
    ESSENTIAL WORKERS have always been
    Movers
    Makers
    Shakers of our
    Global Economy.
    We are summons back to work because we are continually perceived as indentured Workers.
    Slavery is ALIVE & WELL.

  3. Fake news. Liars. Reporters are racists sexist despicable destructive miserable no morals no values no dignity no integrity shallow and full of hatred. Anyone believe this crap is ignorant and dummies like Biden

  4. this has nothing to do with race this is about a broken medical system being unfair to poor people no matter what color you are thats what they are trying to confuse you about

  5. Just went to a covid station walked because didn't see need for vehicle, first one there, it was nearby, told I needed a car to drive thru because of "equipment we use" at the same time a black American walked up as I had no car either, walked all the way back to get my vehicle, none of the attendants had gear on yet but put on later after wards but before beginning first test…on the way sundry amount of people did or did not have masks on, I had mine, now I was in my vehicle, was the other human sent away because he had no vehicle? He has His mask on upon enquiring of the test, 4 cars in line, never saw the fellow again…did he have an opportunity to get his test? I would have let him sit with in my car to get his test done…

  6. We are in the season of Jesus Christ return. Look at all the natural disasters, diseases, and all the other sinful behavior that is worse than ever. Also the pope saying all religions lead to heaven, and wars and rumors of wars. All these things I'm talking about are biblical check the Bible yourself. If you don't believe in Jesus I suggest you do because there is not much time left. God bless😁😁😇

  7. Another story with another angle on Cover 19. Is there anything in America that the media doesn't consider racist? Is China racist for inflicting this virus on every other race on the planet? Nope, white America is racist because poor people get sick too.

  8. Well HELL, at least SOME people are being allowed to work and get paid !!! Along with retaining the benefits that their jobs provide them with, INCLUDING health care. Jeeze. Currently, SOME people are doin' way too much complaining.
    I'm gonna get really real here:
    What about white people and white families who are going through such hardship right now because they are not allowed to work and get their paychecks, huh ??! Does anyone care about THEM ??!
    Stupid question on my part, isn't it…..

  9. But wait! I thought NYC was a Democrat run utopian paradise free of the evils of conservatism and racist alt-right poltics. How can there be race disparities and class divides?

    Oh that's right because the Democrats are full of #### just like every other city they run. Black and Brown lives don't matter to them. Heck no lives matter to them as long as they get to stay in their gated mansions and ignorants keep voting them back in.

  10. This isn't about race, even though the leftwat fake news media wants to make it about race. This is about the fact that democrats are HORRIBLE at taking care of their followers, they are retards that do everything wrong. The areas with the most deaths are leftwat controlled. Democrats don't care about anyone except themselves, they would throw you or anything else under the bus to prove a point or "win" an election.

  11. Or is it DNA, a genetic issue. Good to see this lady and her kids eating better but its not indicative of black Americans lifestyles. It's of course cultural there is a big difference between grape drink and grape soda.
    When grape drink and Doritos is breakfast, Mac and cheese lunch, and ramen from the grocery is dinner and in between hand full of candy. With Little or no exercise, of course there are always exception to the rules
    Your health will suffer on every level.
    But there could also be genetic correlation that makes modern humans more susceptible to the Corvid19 virus then those hybrids with much more Neanderthal DNA .

  12. I work at that depot. I was sick myself….out for 2 weeks thinking I was gonna die before I heard that we were out there dying from Covid-19. U can bet ur bottom dollar I am still scared. So scared my kids stay at the sitter until my off days. The barriers make it more comforting but I’m still scared just like many other drivers. We have to feed our families pay bills and drive other essential workers to work. Too many non essential people on the buses coughing with no masks on and cursing out drivers if they miss their stop etc. This world is crazy backwards. God bless us all! There will be a second wave…people acting like nothing ever happened and ppl still out there dying.

    NOW DO YOU STILL BELIEVE THAT DONALD TRUMP IS ACTUALLY TAKING THIS DRUG?
    IF YOU DO THEN YOU’RE JUST AS DEMENTED AS HE IS.
    Gee, if you double or triple the dose and wash it down with a large glass of Lysol or Clorox it’ll work more effectively. (Sarcasm)

  14. I find it very hard to believe this particularly coming from New York City, one of our most progressive cities. As a progressive city we strive to create equality and create opportunity for all. This has to be communist Chinese, Russian propaganda designed to make Americans feel bad.

  15. Remember: when playing tennis in this COVID CCP inspired "New Normal", DO NOT TOUCH THE OPPOSING PLAYERS BALLS! Studies have shown how the constant back and forth pounding of balls can contaminate the fuzzy undersides. You might not see it on the balls but you can certainly feel it! And for this reason, you should never, NEVER put another player's balls in or near your mouth! Also its not recommended to play the same but different color balls as your opponent at one time so as not to be confused which balls are YOURS! I use the blue balls myself; I find playing with my blue balls makes for a more energetic, satisfying game for everyone. Especially when hitting blue balls against female opponents. They are always entertained as my blue balls bounce across the court! (Believe it or not, some of this is pkagerized from actual NYC social distance rules! SCIENCE!)

  16. Yea especially in NYC where some hospitals have withheld medications to the poor because they have no insurance and cannot pay!
