So many things in this 2011 show are close to the reality we’re living in 2020. Most Americans are not in healthcare and are not currently locked down, as we are here in Northern California (“shelter-in-place”). But, it’s eerie how close to reality this movie gets.

Nothing wrong in trying . It does not harm anyone . Peter is just creating problems . It appears he wants some more friends in society to die before Agreeing

In india they have used it for many patients eho have successfully recovered. It isnt an absolute guarantee but so far it has helped. It was used by doctors here far before Trump even mentioned it.

He keeps pushing the drug WHY? because he has a financial stake in a drug company that makes it that’s why

Navarro is one smart guy. He advised Trump on Jan 29 about the virus danger, 2 days later Trump stopped all flights from China. Fauci was still saying no real danger for 2 weeks after that, but Fauci never took any steps for H1n1 under Obama in 2009

Are they going to Eugenics as their latest platform?

Meanwhile, highly-skilled Indians under H-1B are like slaves waiting for a Green Card for over a decade in USA (while paying taxes). Current wait time: 50 years. During this time, they are unable to switch to jobs they desire. Just awful.

Worst President in history... Trump's delays wasting time /Responsible 4 US deaths due 2 his Obsession w/ erasing Obama & everything with his name attached & crying fake news w/ any news agency who don't blow smoke up his butt and give him unending praise to stroke his giant ego

The death of expertise is one of the hallmarks of this administration. 😡

Going with Dr Fauci on this one

Navarro's background by definition is 'an expert in or student of human society and social relationships, or any subject within this field, such as economics or politics.' HE IS NOT QUALIFIED TO DISAGREE WITH A MEDICAL DOCTOR OR NURSE!

Navarro must think he is in Twitter space--where we are all experts on everything. I don't believe I see Dr. before Navarro.

Terms like sociopaths, morons, lunatics and so have been used for realDonaldTrump admin. They were not picked on their qualifications but on their ability to satisfy MAGA base with a similar profile. Parrots repeating sound bytes and switching off the limited brain they’ve left.

Dr Doom Fauci is a advocate for Bill Gates magic elixir to be the cure for this virus!!

I hate how many 'acting' gov't officials are in the white house. Totally circumventing the legislative branches authority to vet candidates for non-partisan positions.

The apprentice ... Trump pitting people against each other like in his stupid GAME but this isn’t a GAME. Folks are dying every single minute. Navaro knew in January about the consequences of the pandemic but was unable to convince Trump to act sooner. Fauci is the 1 to trust.

Follow the money. And stocks

Hey Pete ..Got a question ..when folks start dying from this medication or symptoms get worse from taking this medication..who do we blame? Can we have your address please. Since your backing this 'Merlins Miracle Medicine'

So, ABC News are the science deniers? The evidence grows daily. Where this drug works best is when people get to the point of not being able to breath. After taking this drug, with zinc, within a half hour their breathing dramatically improves. The use of this combo works!

I'm sorry did you go to medical school for infectious diseases? Why don't you shut up and let Dr. Fauci do the talking. You are NOT an expert. Politicians need to step aside & let the medical experts do their jobs! It's because of politics we are dealing w such a mess! COVID19

He going to argue the use of magic & sparkles & warm happy feelings to treat the virus too?

I never regretted trading with you Mr ROCK LUCKKET in handling my investment. At first I was afraid but now I realize that this is the best decision I have made . Trade with him Earn_with_luckketss, or or reach him on the Whatsaap +15012371485

Hydroxychloroquine can be the only medicine so far to cure the Covid-19. So what Fauci said maybe right.

brooklynmarie Seems legit.

Just like 'psychics' I'll throw out a thousand guesses and get lucky on a couple . . . Then declare myself as seer. TrumpPressBriefing

Fauci was all about the malaria drug back when the MERS was running wild, because it WORKED. Now he's against it...because it threatens his pecuniary interest in globalized mandatory vaccines. He's a charlatan with a Napoleon complex who wants globalized mandatory vaccines.

What ABC is not saying or reporting is that Trump and Navarro are heavily invested in the corporation that makes the drug.

Questions real reporters ask.... Why don't you step the hell out of a discussion that should only be between Dr and patient!!

Is Trump leading a 'war' against the coronavirus?'Thinking of a pathogen as an adversary that has to be killed in battle is a natural human impulse but arguably unhelpful in this situation.
