“What we’re battling is the public perception that this is something that is not serious,” Dr. Ramirez says of the recent rise in U.S. COVID-19 cases. “These economies opened up too far and too fast before the transmission chains were broken.”

Very true in rural/mid America. For them, it only affects people of color, old people, and those pesky packing plants, where they just fire the employee if he/she gets sick & doesn't show up. To Corp & Republicans these are all replaceable. So, the virus is not relevant here.

It is not IF you are going to get Coronavirus, but when you get Coronavirus.. We have no immunity to this so we are all going to test positive at some point. The numbers, 339M Americans, 2M positive, 0.12M deaths, 42% of US deaths were nursing home residents .. Perspective.

Stay on lockdown Doc.

MSNBC paid by China to support the economic collapse of the US economy. Dr. Ramirez would have more creditability if he was not excepting money to push the communist party.

It's over, Doc. We are free and we ain't letting a bad flu end us again

Even in my state (NY) where we took it seriously, many are now jumping on the “this was overblown; it’s no worse than flu; blah; blah” bandwagon. They quote ‘experts,’ radio personalities, podcasters and say media and hospitals overcounted cases! My own family. I’m so tired.

Potus Trump Matters! Potus Trump Supporters Matter! People that have common sense matter!

More media fear-mongering

The medical field has lost all credibility. Now go away!!!

My grandma always told me that I should Never Argue With A Fool. It was a waste of breath. Period. I wear a mask everywhere I go now. Hopefully the hand sanitizer supplies will hold out & not become a black market hot item! Obv’sly they need harder truths.

Exactly and it defeated helping the economy as well. It was ill conceived on many levels. Counterintuitive!

Just another “expert” giving his opinion. “Wear a mask, don’t need to wear a mask”. “Wear gloves to avoid Covid 19 infections”. “People can’t be infected by touching surfaces”. Hospitals paid more money for reporting Covid 19 deaths. Impossible to determine who to believe.

What’s the stat? Something like 99.5% survival rate?

stuff a mask in your ass

Poor education has led us here. 60 year old adults do not have the functional knowledge of a well educated child now and we can't avoid the damage it is causing.
