Jeffrey needs to point out these countries by name and deed and explain the application of their techniques to America! Remember that many countries are smaller than many of our states!

Moron

DO WE CALL SOMEONE A 'LEADER' WHO WANTS YOU TO EAT MEAT FORCED TO BE PACKED BY PEOPLE SICK WITH COVID19 BECAUSE OF A GOP BACKED ORDER TO STAY OPEN AND MAKE THE GOP OWNER MONEY?

Correction we(excluding me) are dumb enough apparently

It helps if the current Administration wasn't about self interest.😠

Now that...is a lying dog faced pony soldier.

MSNBC false propaganda

Because news keeps messing up

Didn’t we learn anything about totally biased expert Professors from the clown Law Professors that the Democrats brought forward at Trump impeachment hearings. What a bunch of phony left winged biased hacks. Who knows what criteria the Democrats use for expertise. Walkaway

Wrong. We are pretty stupid.

I bet more people die from these street gangs using there prostitutes to push drug addiction, extortion and, entrapment. They murder more people mentally and physically more then any pandemic and that is purposely caused to take over business and politics.

BLAME DONALD TRUMP....

Some geniuses Anericans refuse to wear masks. How can we make them see the demage they do? How? Laws? Congress don't do shit with McConnell in charge. Goodluck America

Blow it out your butthole!

Sadly, we are that stupid.

I think he’s wrong, we are that stupid. Just watch the news.

interesting video

MAGAts:

Yup. American hubris makes it impossible to contemplate learning from anyone else. Same as Brits Why both are on a doom curve in a future world.

CDC lowered numbers of deaths by covid 19 to half of what's being reported. From May 1st.

Dude, have you ever watched a Trump rally?

America is the stupidest country on earth

Yes..Americans ARE stupid.. that’s why they vote for a clown . They deserve that and much more.

The lockdown is telling us to stop living to avoid dying. That’s the same as saying I’m not flying because I’m afraid of crashing

Define expert!

No, We the People aren’t stupid we’re just governed by a group of stupid, what’s in it for me’ people.

Americans aren't stupid. It has more to do with greed, racism and arrogance.

Well, our leader cannot learn and he is running the show

Breaking News your campaign to spread fear and mayhem in this serious time is having the opposite effect than you planned. Godspeed President Trump.

AMERICANS ARE DYING BY THE TENS OF THOUSANDS!!!! What a hysterical moron

Um...we have Donald Trump as president. I’d say that’s pretty stupid.

Trumpers do not believe in government and certainly do not believe in international cooperation. That is why they will never see how Trump's failure to govern, lead and work with other nations is making this crisis so much worse that it ever had to be.

The only thing she is sn expert on is rising from the grave. Damn, how did she get past the crypt keeper?

Here's the problem

Wear. A. Damn. Mask.

More academia nutjobs

Sounds like China CCP propaganda.

Americans are dying to no longer hear from imbeciles like this.

We were not so stupid until Trump became president.

Another 'expert' that's missing M.D. from the end of his name.

62 million are that GD stupid MagatsAreCovid19Brats

SACHS: “We’re not so stupid in America...” AMERICA: “Hold our beers!”

This dude is too emotional to be trusted.

Uh, Americans are lazy, and stupid.

Well Give us freedom or give us death.......well here you go to the death side....

Jeffery, why don't you create a cure and have it distributed across the entire US in 48 hours?

ALL THE LEADERS NEED TO STEP UP- GET WORKING - (NOT MY JOB) DON'T CUT IT ! THE MEDIA NEEDS TO STOP BEING CHILDISH

There are no real success stories in other countries, except isolated island nations. The places worst infected had the most flights from China at the time the pandemic started. It is moronic to blame our approach to the problem.

Sachs is out right lying about the virus, The president was the first to do some thing and the media and democrats called him names and put him down, The other countries where worse then we where, The other countries learn from us and used the malaria drugs that works

This was really informative.

Well over 80% of deaths are in blue states.

Trump tweets support for Michigan protestors, suggests Governors to ease Lockdownextention Latest updates | cases per million population👇 Covid_19 coronavirus

No, just arrogant and with an attitude.

Trump punishes China !!! No Clorox anymore for them ! 👍 All need for injection of Americans and if China develops a vaccine, the USA will not accept it ! 😁🌟

Tell that to Trump directly

Looks like he is on last legs!

Narrator: “Actually.....”

UK has become one of the countries with highest death count in Europe Latest updates | cases per million population👇 COVID19 COVIDー19

Not doing the 'basics' the public has Nothing to do with Pres. Trump- Jeffrey Sachs!!

Yeah we're not stupid but enough of them where in 2016

Would seem believable if not employed by a hate network. Americans are dying due to germ warfare being released in 184 nations. DELIBERATELY RELEASED

People on Twitter who think they are smarter than Sachs are proving his point.

There ARE a lot of stupid Americans that aren't even doing the basics like washing their hands and wearing masks because they are in denial of the virus and still think it's a hoax. Reopening everything is going to be a disaster.

Lol, a chinese virus comes here because of globalism. Import their tyranny and communism too? Free trade?

Columbia University Liberal Stooge.

America’s problem isn’t just stupidity. It’s two other “s” words: stubbornness and superiority.

Do you mean Sweden who has 40% more deaths per capita than the US, or China who is lying about all the bodies they are incinerating? No thanks. America and Trump have done about the best possible under a diffucult threat not of our making.

Columbia University expert: Americans are dying because we haven’t done the basics.!! Jeffrey Sachs: “We have a leader who is the worst in our history and such an idiot…YA THINK. Americans are dying by the tens and thousands because we’re not doing the basics.”

USA must create a universal health system free for all.There is no excuse for the murdering of citizens due to criminal negligence.

I think you are wrong.

You get who our president is, right. realDonaldTrump has shown time and time again, he isn't capable of learning.

Americans are too arrogant to learn from others, in general. We think we know it all & the universe revolves around us. A smart country SHOULD avoid mistakes of others given we've had weeks of notice. Nope, we'd rather 'protest' the pandemic disallowing us our beach & cafe time.

No. WE aren't. But trump IS. The clinical term is 'cognitive bias'

'...not so stupid in America that we can't learn from others' ...

America did great in the pandemic! Trump is the best! The virus is just a hoax!

Stay on top of tho ha. This virus is past news. Focus on reopening the economy.

trump IS !!!

But obviously the Americans are stupid enough to keep Trump on top ...

We have already proved just how stupid we are. And Oh we're not done yet. Stop the punditry and start the rage. If you can't see the trouble we're in you have proved my point. empiresend

wrong, americans are the dumbest people on the planet. They would rather die with a semiautomatic in their left hand and a hamburger in the right knowing they won a tiny meaningless petty victory over their own neighbours aka sworn enemies.

This hysterical hyperbole is a load of twaddle. Thousands of people are killed by drunk drivers every year, where’s all your outrage? That’s totally preventable.

How do you report this BS w/o disputing it?

Italy: they have restricted flights in and out except for cargo deliveries and less then 10 commercial flights daiky. Rail & auto movement is restricted. They want to suffocate the virus, and yes, it is difficult for a nation of 60M to endure, but they will LIVE! U.S. will DIE!☠️

Basic math says your wrong!

Courageous admission and most generous appeal!

Because 40% Americans misconstrue arrogance as self confidence, anti-intellectualism as patriotism and willful ingnorace as virtue.

I‘m afraid you are that stupid

No, no, no, no, no...we’re that stupid. We’re beyond that stupid. ThisIsAmerica

We ARE so stupid we can’t learn from others. Re: health care, parental leave, workers rights, filing taxes

The highest death count (over 12,000 so far) is in New York state. Mayor of New York City is De Blasio, a Democrat. Governor of the state is Cuoma, also a Democrat. Both of them have more control over virus response in the state than anyone in the federal government.

sulanstudios America is doing fine with COVID -- except for New York. New York's response to COVID has been a chain of horrible decisions with deadly consequences.

Nah Americans in general are mad dumb

Americans are dying because of trump.

Awww, Bill gates & Redfords kid.

Sorry but this is all hysterical crap As the number of cases goes up the deaths remains static which is exactly the kind of facts these loonies don’t want to accept This virus is just a milder version of seasonal flu. Come out from under your beds folks

Well, stupid is a bit harsh. Not entirely disagreeing with that sentiment, but, we're mostly selfish and impatient.

World Health Organization just praises the Swedish model. April 29 2020. Why is that not being reported but instead this. Sweden’s herd immunity has paid off.

Look at who’s presiding over things. TrumpBurialPits

Lets be honest, people are dying here because of a WORLD WIDE PANDEMIC that originated in China. You need look no further for fault.

Yes. We see a lot of disinfectant being sprayed outdoors in public. Why isn’t that happening in the US?

try Sweden. End the lockdown.

But our leader is.

Yes Sweden Time to open

Do you need extra MONEY I can help you EARN $10,000 PER WEEKS....with my trading techniques and system if only I can get your trust, attention, and cooperation to make things right like I did with other me how

You sure?

you sure about that, Jeffrey?

Yes, let's look at how Sweeden is doing it. Great numbers without economic ruin. Let's try that.

People are dying in other countries too genius

By the end of this disaster, we’ll have over 100k Americans dead and a booming economy you inherited in a depression. Resign realDonaldTrump!

Yes, we are. Welcome to the Trump generation.

We are

How many have died under 24?

Not too stupid to learn from other countries ... but from what I’ve observed, too many Americans are too xenophobic to learn.

Americans are dying because for decades we've worshipped at the altar of Globalism.

Actually we are that stupid since trump got elected

No credibility with this guy.

By tens of thousands oh please lead me MSNBC please professor share your all knowing opinion and save my life. I'm scared.

Wow another leftist professor hating on the county what a surprise

yeah 'expert' whatever

Oh but we are

He’s full of shit. Our per capital death rate is the lowest among the large countries with a great number of cases. Why do you always interview these liberal kook docs to obtain biased and skewed opinions outside of the scientific mainstream?

Expert in what? Stupidity!

It's 2020 and we have to tell people how to wash their hands.

The American President is stupid. That's reason why.

I have posted this before but let's look again with today's figures NY pop 8mil Corona deaths just on 13,000 Australia's 2 biggest cities Sydney & Melbourne combined pop 10mil; deaths 58. Deaths per mil of pop USA 193, Australia 4 Know where I would rather be!!!

From the things that I have seen going on lately, I think we have become that stupid. Unfortunately.

TheBuckStopsWithTrump

To bad his opinion and your reporting is not based on facts.FakeNews

The only thing left at this point, is the so-called “herd immunity” and that is not going well either.

If you think Trump is to blame then you really are too stupid to live.

Unfortunately, the mouth breathing, knuckle dragging ignorant trump supporters don’t understand such a concept!

We are not other countries, move to the ones you like while you can.

.018% percent of the population has died from Coronavirus. Thank goodness we destroyed our economy, trampled our constitutional freedoms, and put 30 million people out of work over this.

China virus realDonaldTrump so why if BP can have a accidental oil spillage that floods the gulf? Obama had them pay who not me not the people billions!how fast we forget ,we didn’t know how to cap it!

states are responsible for their own response/ supplies since the beginning. After ChinaTravelBan CDCgov gave each state daily list of travelers. on Feb 26, NY monitoring only 700+ ppl when CA on Feb 27 had 8400+? CA had 12x monitored then but now NY has 12x dead vs CA?

Who the hell gets their health advice from the president? That's like going to the dentist for an oil change.

Whats different is sadly Hospitals and Doctors are entering Covid-19 on the Death Certificates even if the person does not test positive Maybe to get more Federal Funding maybe other reasons ?

Yes let's look at other countries like India that used Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment and prophylactic

Jeffrey go eat a PB Jelly Sandwich... you appear Emaciated...it’s called Poverty!

That’s right. Trump is killing us, and chrislhayes is helping him. Have to assume Hayes didn’t contact Lynn Hummer at mare_rescue or the author of piece below. In which case, he should be fired. FireChrisHayes FireChrisHayes FireChrisHayes

The media fear-mongers ventilators. Immediate fear monger testing. And now the media is fear-mongering opening the country.
