I thank Hod for my blessings ✝️. I pray we will have an end to the pandemic.

Watch what the 'Covid frontline heroes: Kathryn, a 28-year-old ICU nurse whose take on the 'How It Started ... How It's Going' meme went viral, talks to CNN's Brooke Baldwin about the toll the coronavirus pandemic has taken on health care workers.

Didn’t have to be this way 😡

Call BS.

How many are sick.

🙏🏻

NO ONE BELIEVES WHAT YOU ARE 'REPORTING'.

Why is the 2018 death toll higher than the projected 2020 toll with covid? Asking for a friend

The president doesn't care ! That how he rolls ! Votes are all he cares about ! Winning ! People are dying and he wants to win !

One thing no one is discussing: few retail stores have their doors propped open. Thought ventilation was critical to reduce spread of aerosolized virus. 100 ppl in Zara w the doors closed... Seems propping open doors would be easy & obvious way to reduce spread

How many have recovered?

While GovRonDeSantis ties the hands of local governments to protect our communities

How many of those were false positives?

coronavirus transmits via Nose, Mouth and Eyes.Only Stopping close contact can truly stop the spread. Use BostApp instead to safely communicate with people at the same place, download for free at Apple & Google

So do the 3 positive PCR tests I took in 3 different cities days apart count as three different people?🤔

Yawn...

Jane Fonda called the COVID-19 pandemic 'God's gift to the Left.' that tells the opportunism of the Democratic Party. Do they care about the 200K+ Americans, or do they consider these unfortunate victims to be props to use in the anti-Trump drama they subject us to day after day?

What is % of false positives

Pretty low mortality rate

what are you going to do about it? let china get away with it?

Trump instructed his people to stop the testing. I'm guessing he has fired 'his people' or forgot.

You still remember Hopkins message when coronavirus appeared in China? Dr.W.Ian Lipkin message to those afraid of coronavirus. master virus hunter' who helped fight the SARS outbreak,

good

Vermont is one of the few states that has been on the low side for the most part. The fact that a lot of Americans say it is a right to be SELFISH is sad! If you won't look out for yourself why would you be expected to look out for others. Our country is a disgrace! maskup

Urging? They’re asking returning school children if they had Thanksgiving with anyone other than their family.

You gonna pay me to stay home mf?

The Biden win! (Until the Gettysburg hearing)

Duh

Psalm 2;4-6 The One enthroned in heaven (🇺🇸) laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, “I have installed my king ( Jesus Christ-Daniel Johnson Llanos) on Zion (🇵🇷), my holy mountain.”(Zech.14;4)

Oh what a surprise!

That’s going to happen

They are too busy packing in malls for Black Friday shopping!

Lawwwwwd.....😐😐

At our news conference next week, we hope to awaken the world to the scientific FACT that the I-Mask+ Prophylaxis and Early At-Home Treatment Protocol is the potential solution to the global pandemic earlytreatment

Quarantine after Thanksgiving dinner! But black Friday shopping? Protesting in the streets? Celebrating Joe Biden’s victory? Looting and burning? No those are safe activities.

You know they won't do it. So far it seems Americans don't grasp the severity of the situation. They seem to think it's all a hoax.

Purification is at the Centre of Preparation for the Coming Of The MESSIAH. MegaWordVigil

In the future we will not only arrest people who commit crimes but arrest anyone who might commit a crime

And we all know exactly how this is going to go.

Case studies are going to be made over how many Republicans to Democrats were ignorant of the facts! What that caused and why? History is not going to look good for the Trump Administration and POTUS

If they gave a shit, they wouldn't have had the gathering

🥴no

Yes! Two week vacation in my house!

Yeah, and all it took was a DOUBLE LUNG TRANSPLANT.

... it's not a 'miraculous recovery'. They did a lung transplant. It's science and it's how you fix organs that don't function

'miraculous recovery after undergoing a double lung transplant' Well it's not very miraculous then is it

you're telling me no one was on the transplant list ahead of this person? kids with cancer? nobody?

Double lung transplant means he'll be on immune-reducing drugs plus a large volume of other drugs for the rest of his shortened life. That's a hell of a miraculous recovery. Quit trying to soften the life-changing impact the virus can inflict.

REPORT: Biden’s Thanksgiving Day Address gets just 1000 views online, a record low. Observers say a candidate with “80,000,000” votes would get many more online viewers. Numbers don’t lie, or add up!

Most welcome precious people

Today’s US death total 269,644 The president is a public servant who is responsible for the safety, security & welfare of the American people. Yet our President by his own admission chose NOT TO DO ANYTHING TO SLOW THE SPREAD across the nation & still continues to do nothing.

Your headline is ridiculous. A double-lung transplant is not a miraculous recovery.

Prayers for all those suffering around the world with COVID19

Makes sense if you have new Lungs 😂🤷‍♂️

Wow! A double Lung transplant. Post-Covid. Ah! Time to enter a bubble for the next 9 months let's watch and see... Wow! 🙏🏾

Miraculously recovery? He had to a ...DOUBLE LUNG TRANSPLANT!!!!

A double lung transplant isn’t a miraculous recovery.

is it a miracle though? no, it's science.
