DrJAshton This is nonsense Already with this garbage people you need to wake up Already.

How many in total have died?

The lizards keep killing more and more

Are u aware that inmates are being censored on info on covid 19 and mail is being withheld ?

DrJAshton FountanOfYouthMazatlan works during high tide only. Spread the word or spread the germ? FILL TUBS WITH THIS WATER AND DISTRIBUTE TO EVERY HOSPITAL ASAP

It’s idiots like this and those packing the beaches, throwing corona party’s, etc why the virus is spreading at an alarming rate. Americans are ignorant and arrogant. But yeah, it’s easier to blame Trump. We the citizens are the reason for this spreading so fast.

DrJAshton Are you sure this is not also airborne because so many are dying?

💬

This is misleading. You make it seem like the drug did it. Lmao you guys are going to burn

“You peasants are ungrateful”

Begging the question why we need public workers if they’re shutting things down

DrJAshton My social distancing quarantine time is up. I am still going to stay home. I do not have a mask the stores said they did not have any. I am not walking around & I cover with my scarf if I have to go anywhere. If you see someone looking homeless you know who it is. God loves you.

si·ren /ˈsīrən/ noun 1. a device that makes a loud prolonged sound as a signal or warning. I don't hear anything

It’s why they get ...

Good. Stay home!

DrJAshton The farther apart we are... The safer we are... 🤩❤️

DrJAshton I keep my distance from the News Media.

Good idea: traumatize New Yorkers even more with this nightmarish vision

They did that here in Nevada too. Made me sad

The revolving light is called a 'rotating beacon.' The siren is what makes the noise. Try to get the simple stuff right once in a while.

They are doing the same thing in Fort Worth, Tx.

Chances those hoops will ever be put up again? Zero. It’s just the way cities work in this country

feel like a “tribute” shouldn’t be apocalyptic & terrifying

Lol see teach you the hard way

Fucking weak

This is also what the top of the building will look like while it's being invaded by demons, or Gozer.

Pathetic

Wow can’t believe y’all did that 🤣!

'Land of the free'

I am a Chinese and the Chinese government's behavior is shameful. Now there are many people who have lost their loved ones because of this virus. I am very sorry for this. I have a lot of masks and other medical supplies here. If you need them, please contact me.

This also happened in Los Fresnos, TX

State of 🚨 becuz realdonaldtrump didn’t take the Coronavirus 🦠 seriously, 6 wks lost while potus & FoxNews spewed Hoax propaganda! Over 3100 dead in the US from the virus. More than died on 9/11. Only 158 in South Korea, though we both got our first positive case same day.

Gotta take this serious folks.

D 💼

Wow

no wonder the pitt program sucks anymore.... weare pennstate

Break my heart 💔 miss you NY 😢

The dude with thirty extra in his garage

Not triggering at all for an entire city with PTSD

❤🙏

Looks more like a mayday signal to me.

💔

victoriaarbiter I cannot begin to imagine. God be with them.

Wonderful indeed 🇺🇸☺️👏

EddieMunst_r Yeah, ok good. Now do a rent freeze.

Great idea by Dr. Mark Frank, Görlitz Municipal Clinic, Germany, for additional protection against COVID19, which can easily be produced by yourself! It would be great if it was spread (BY YOU). Video with simultaneous text in English: via YouTube

Awesome!!!!

oscura56 this breaks my heart

NYC loves to do these empty gestures

Love this tribute ... but if I were in the area and saw the Empire State Building blaring a red and white emergency signal, I would've freaked out.

How much money is spent on this? We have people sleeping on the streets, starving.

WillieDegel Seems calming !!

So great to see. They are the Soldiers on the front line.

What an aggressively terrible idea.

Vila-real, Spain

WTF no need for this! Who’s stupid idea was this...

Amazing visual

That'll help morale.

TonyKrvaric Why don’t you report the Truth about the Virus - right here va_shiva A Real Scientist!!!

We love it, thank you.❤️❤️

How comforting?

LisaMarieBoothe No one suggested red white and blue?

I’d love to see a story on who makes the lighting decisions for the building. They always do such great work.

Cool

ABC News is so pissed that America is coming together and taking on the challenges at hand.

LisaMarieBoothe They should ashame what the mayor did nothing for 8 years

That, and also doubling as the bat signal.

SALUTE ITS ABOUT TIME

biermanchris

LisaMarieBoothe To Resemble a noise? Damn journalism is at rocky bottom.

sounds like me on saturday night. i was lit up like a christmas tree and ran howling like an ambulance through downtown

Why don't you guys report on this? Oh yeah, Mockingbird!

Why don't you guys report on this? Oh yeah, Mockingbird!

❤️

TOO STRESSFUL FOR THOSE IN YHE AREA!!!!

Doctors will die without proper PPEs and you could have prevented this. You have failed everyone. The thing is that the children & young adults will die too because of the lack of culture of wearing masks in American culture. COVID19 USA

Thanks for showing something positive for a change.

But his boss accused them of stealing masks yesterday.

So get them PPE!

Doctors Against Trump-Pence

This is so amazing. What a nice gesture

Mike Pence has caused millions of Americans to lose their health insurance. It means nothing to praise doctors whilst denying millions of Americans the right to see them.

VIVA MEXICO! 🇲🇽

They been doing that out here in Nevada...

Very intelligent. Shows a caring for other people.

Genius

In Canada, almost all major grocery stores and pharmacies have installed glass shields for Cashiers

This hasn't went through 6 months of government testing.. and 14 certified inspections

This is honestly stupid. Unless you are wearing N95+ or a full CBRN suit, you are not stopping the spread of this virus. Just clean the surfaces.

They’re smarter in Mexico.

Smart!

Brilliant!

Good safety good work

PrestonTVNews Kinda like Dexter ...
