I think all skeptics should see this. Maybe it might sink in that this shit is serious.

Starrynite2167 Maybe you should have stopped the BLM protests. And if you even for a moment suggest that isn’t the cause your claim to medical intellectual superiority is a sham.

Where are all the patients? All I see is people in PPE running around? Even CBS used the Italian hospital footage.

This video is staged! Too many cuts and everyone has gear, just this 1 nurse is in blue scubs? Oh, and the doctor removes his mask with contaminated hand so he can breathe PEOPLE WAKE UP!!!

Hoax

Is it Covid or the medical malpractice that is being underreported that's killing? Need an accurate portrayal of this thing, can't be adding excess deaths like with Covid in which Covid didn't caused their deaths.

So why is everybody including doctors encouraging people to protest then even with a mask on since it's not bulletproof?! Anguilla is looking tempting to wait out this storm btw.

It’s American people who trust Trump and his continuous lies and misinformation about COVID-19, who are at risk because of their ignorance. They should volunteer at a hospital to see first hand how bad patients with COVID-19 are suffering. It’s a slow painful suffocating death!

Who directed this commercial? It's awful with all the inconsistencies. Really makes it hard to immerse yourself into the story.

Thanks to the Doc and the others fighting this tirelessly. Does anyone know that particular hospital’s daily fatality rate for COVID-19? Obviously there was at least one that day; surely there must have been more than that if he’s offering for folks to come work the day with him.

lindsayromantic Treat this COVID as a Joke, the joke is on You!!!! And you infect us who have been careful. Shame on You

its the biggestr hoax ever 99.6 recovery rate

So says the fucking numbers. There arent THAT many cases THAT bad and THAT would be the same with anyone with the same preexisting conditions and the masks are making it worse ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S A RESPIRATORY DISEASES SUPPOSEDLY

it's not a hoax, it's a joke.

So many discoveries were made in the last month+. Are they being used to prevent the cytokine storm that is often what kills people so fast? If you can prevent that, you could prevent a LOT of deaths. Are people doing this?

Scam

ABC, you've been known for posting fake videos as news for years. Just stop.

Part of the problem is the previous way of dealing with Covid19 was not entirely adequate. What about Cytokine Storm, using anti-inflammatory & immune suppressing drugs to calm the system? What about using steroid inhalers BEFORE it gets severe so it doesn’t require respirators?

Tell that to Trump, Sean Hannity, Florida Governor DeSantis...probably a lot of names I couldn’t add - but THEY really to see that COVID-19 is VERY REAL AND SERIOUS. Follow the guidelines that CDC has established and you won’t end up like the lady!

trump should spend a day there and anti maskers

blueIndycat Trump has so many people believing this is just a flu. He’s playing a huge part in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. It’s heartbreaking & should be criminal!

Maybe a rally was deadly...

POTUS realDonaldTrump here’s your personal invitation. Like the ones you sent out to give illegal immigrants stimulus payments. Who’s paying for that wall?

With so many examples what are ppl thinkingg in these states; Are they immune to covid... Social distance, wear masks, avoid gatherings how tough is it?

ShawnSaintRants Showing this without disclosing any comorbidities or details about the patient's affected is misinformation They just have covid? Doubtful

Trump appeals to poorly educated people.

does anyone even know what's happening in this video? ABC news is now an actual terrorist organization, using fake videos to spread real fear and shut down lives. Why aren't we investigating? I'd like to know how many real patients are getting water in between ventilator sessions

We need to hog tie Trump and Pence and drag them to this hospital!

They just don`t give a damn. When people r not afraid of death, u got nothing to threat them.

This hospital is a joke. I fell for the patients there. Worked a few ER shifts there in 2012.

People who think this is a hoax are the same people that think vaccines cause autism

Now are they Real COVID19 Deaths or Regular Death but they just Happened to be positive for Coronavirus? Like what happened in NY?

The world doesn't die of Covid-19, in this style there are doctors who kill patients👏👏👏👏👏🔫🔫

Keep social distancing and wear a mask. COVID-19 is not a hoax!

Trump: fake news! Next

The guy giving the interview isn't wearing a mask in the ER at the top of the video

Anybody that thinks this is a hoax, they should come spend the day with him, and not wear a mask. Cause you know, Coronavirus is just a 'hoax.'

I’m dying at home before I go near a US hospital.
