    President Donald Trump’s relentless talk about interference with the COVID-19 vaccine approval process is setting the stage for a vaccination crisis. Even before a vaccine has been approved, public health experts are watching as confidence in a hypothetical vaccine plummets — and they’re already trying to figure out how to win back the public’s trust.


    Trump ought keep his nose out of important things like COVID-19. He just doesn't get it.

    ~ Are we supposed to assume you do "get it" ? Next you can enlighten us peons on what should be done to expedite a vaccine.
    Better yet why not apply to join the virus task force ? :lol:

    The United States reached another grim milestone on Friday, surpassing 7 million confirmed cases of Covid-19, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

    It took the US just 25 days to record another 1 million cases after marking the 6 millionth case on August 31. It's been just over eight months since Johns Hopkins recorded the first US case of Covid-19 on January 22.
    More than 203,000 people have died.
    Only three other countries in the world have reported more than 1 million Covid-19 cases, according to Johns Hopkins: India with more than 5.8 million, Brazil with more than 4.6 million and Russia with more than 1.1 million.


    The US hit 7 million cases the same day that 23 states, most across the US heartland and Midwest, reported an increase of new cases compared to the previous week, according to a CNN analysis of Johns Hopkins data.
    Case numbers in about 16 states are holding steady, while 11 -- Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Vermont and Virginia -- saw a decline.

    We've got to keep holding on if we want to defeat COVID-19

    More than 1 million people have died worldwide from Covid-19, and the United States accounts for more than 20% of the death toll.

    This might mean COVID-19 will still be with us longer than expected. There are still some out there that are not following the rules to stem the coronavirus. I find out that there are some NFL players tested positive for the virus but I hope that doesn't cancel the season and I hope Major League Baseball allows some fans in for next season in 2021. We'll see what goes on. That's all for now

    Safe to assume you are then willing to say most of the deaths were worsened by the Chinese virus?

    All I and we would but not Trump. Is there a problem that you don't get it?

    Trump keeps reiterating;

    “2.2 million would have died if we did nothing”

    Agree or disagree?

    These deaths are caused by these foolish people who have very powerful immune systems, so of course they deserve to die and improve the Herd Immunity profile of America!

    You just got to got "good genes"!

    Donald Trump in a very white crowd.

    Jim Parsons shared on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon that he and husband Todd Spiewak contracted COVID-19 back in March.

    On Monday night Parsons told Fallon of his experience with the coronavirus.

    “We didn’t know what it was, we know we had colds and we lost all sense of smell and taste,” the Hollywood actor told Fallon. “It defied the descriptions for me, I didn’t realize how taste and smell could be gone.”

    After describing his time learning about his diagnosis, Parsons said that he and his partner grieved not being able to taste any of the food at home, as eating more became a favorite activity during the pandemic. The conversation then moved on to the two television stars discussing what kept them busy during quarantine.

    It looked like they came back. COVID-19 can be tackled as we may all know.

    Yes, there is absolutely no reason for fear mongering.

    President Trump and his wife, Melania, have contracted the novel coronavirus, he announced early Friday, after months in which he has often played down a pandemic that has killed more than 205,000 Americans and sickened millions more.
    Trump, 74, was diagnosed hours after it became publicly known that Hope Hicks, a top Trump aide who traveled with him on Air Force One and Marine One this week, tested positive Thursday morning.
    "Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19," the president tweeted just before 1 a.m. "We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!"
    The president’s physician, Sean P. Conley, wrote minutes later that Trump and his wife "are both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence."
    The president is expected to conduct official and political events from the residence — including a call on Friday with senior citizens about the coronavirus.
    The diagnosis is a jolt for the country’s leadership and had some advisers early Friday discussing the continuity of government should the president’s condition grow worse. Vice President Pence tested negative for the virus Friday morning, a spokesman said.

    Many of us thought Trump was invincible of COVID-19, Well he's not and neither is the first lady. We knew he wasn't immune like everyone else. Trump got what he deserved.

    We find out that Trump tested positive for the Coronavirus. He didn't listen. He thought he was immune and he wasn't so he has to pay the fiddler. Like I said if you don't do the things you're supposed to do to avoid the coronavirus, You'd be OK but Trump was stupid and got it. I hope Biden doesn't have it. That's all I'll say for now, I'll come back later.

    Trump headed for Walter Reed Hospital after testing positive while Joe Biden and wife tested negative. Trump mocked Biden for mask wearing all this time. I say it paid off for Biden, and Trump suffers the consequences. Simple as that.

    Masks don’t protect you from the virus. Masks help to protect other people from the virus in case you have it. 2nd grade kids know this fact. Why don’t you?

    Because we graduated from second grade.
    Do you wear "one way" masks?

    Oh I’m sorry, forget I said that. Masks protect you from the coronavirus. There is also a tooth fairy and an Easter Bunny.
