Over the last seven days, one person died every 80 seconds from the coronavirus in America.

The Chicago Public School system became the latest to ditch plans to reopen classrooms to in-person education come September. Instead, the nation’s third-largest school system will do what many other school districts are doing and reopen remotely on Sept. 8 and revisit that strategy on Nov. 9.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the decision was “rooted in public health data.”who was caught on videotape knocking an ailing woman — who had just told her to wear her face mask properly — to the ground. Terri Thomas, 25, was charged with second-degree aggravated assault and given an Aug. 24 court date.

THAT IS A LIE! NOT HAPPY, with

Yet another US disgrace.

MSM is part of the problem

Yep I am sure true if actually does their due diligence on that statistic. And every 90 seconds someone in America dies from cancer. It’s all how we look at things. You can look that statistic up to and report on it. Wait....that doesn’t have the scare factor does it?

Tom_Winter “The Chicago Public School system...will do what many other school districts are doing and reopen remotely on Sept. 8 and revisit that strategy on Nov. 9.”

THIS needs to be watched & shared. Every single one of these people should be shamed. They were all wrong & Americans died! Over 160,000 lives were lost in just 4 months & that number is still climbing! COVID19 FoxNews

Tom_Winter Unacceptable. SenWarren RepLoriTrahan SpeakerPelosi

'It is what it is.' - Donald TreasonTrump TrumpVirus TrumpVirusDeathToll160K

Trump’s America 🤬

Bullshit..

Shameful and preventable. TrumpVirus FailedLeadership

Still dying... I dont know why past tense is being used here...

Tom_Winter What a neat new way to scare people since the deaths aren't climbing high enough for your liking yet

First thing I saw here was a bald woman in a ball gown.

genesimmons Sounds like ( dare I say it ) a pandemic..(chuckle)

Hey if any can help my sis & I even just with a $1 I’m out of work due to the virus & Im struggling to keep my place let alone put food on my table if anyone would be okay with helping me out I would very much appreciate it stay safe & god bless Venmo & Cashapp MattMartins147

in normal time-2017,2018- 1 death every 11 sec in the US. 7,778 per day. 1 heart disease death every 48 sec. 647,457 per year; 1,774 per day. You are attempting to sensationalize by exploiting people’s lack of mathematical common sense.

Still dearhs are down from April May

BUT ONLY 6% have Cov ID-19 listed as sole cause of death.

Same as the flu, then?

That's horrible.

genesimmons Cool. Now do cancer, heart attacks, and drugs.

“It is what it is.”

Trump likes people who don’t catch his virus.

genesimmons GOP paradise! Now let's talk about privatization of Your Social Security, said some old white dude, who doesn't even need it, during the midst of the plague.

Lies!

fakenews

KennethHowardC3 This an idiotic stat

I work at a hospital, PCP and know that anyone who dies and test positive even though their other conditions could have killed them are logged as a covid death. The more covid deaths the more federal money comes your way, FACTS

Who cares. I haven't heard about the zombie cicadas lately. Are they still going to make me have to mail in my vote for not Biden?

'It is what it is.' Donald Trump 45th President of the United States

Bullshit.

Some dies of cancer every 15 seconds, dies of heart decease every 20 seconds

dataandpolitics

JUZT DUN’T TYLL DA PREZYDUNT UBOUWT ITT, EE CLAYM’Z, ITT EVENSHUALLY VWYL JUZT GOW AH VWAY! 😎👽🇺🇸💪🏿💀

This could have been prevented!

And all Trump can say is “ it is what it is “

Here at NBC, one of the guys has a calculator. Built right into his phone! We could make a headline outta that...

In the last 24 hours: * 1,300 deaths from COVID__19 — lonely, tragic deaths * 53,000 positive cases Until there is a proven, accessible & safe vaccine, Americans should take every precaution. Facts Science

How many died of the flu?

NothinButCrap

If you look at the total number of deaths in the US year over year for a multi year period even with the Rona we are about static. This means that it is NOT INCREASING THE DEATH RATE IN ANY STATICALLY MEANINGFUL WAY. This means people who would normally die are dying, so what 🙄

This isn't remotely true

The experts we are forced to obey claimed 10 or more people every 80 seconds dead from coronavirus. Millions of Americans would die was their claim. Sweden didn't lock down and are in much better shape than the US. The reason for all the censorship by the left. It's political.

Is our flag at half staff? Maybe it needs to be hung in distress. A covid death here every 80 seconds. The buck stops in the Oval Office. The 5000 disappeared kids are another tragedy. Not to mention victims of police brutality.

realDonaldTrump does it sound like it’s going away?

Wrap you head around that realDonaldTrump GOP

Older and sick

Not a success

realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse vp GOP this is on you bastards.

maddow Raychl, I often love your reporting but this is absurd. Has MSNBC become a mouthpiece for the WHO & big pharma? What about 800K children missing each year in US, suicide, domestic violence, TB - all enhanced by masks & lockdowns - all dwarf C19. You can do better.

Shut down twitter CNN NBC NYT WAPO and every phony news source. Shut it down firmly boldly and defiantly. Not quietly or politely or be trampled by the march for free speech and justice

Breaking news the lamestream medias daily fear and grim report

I still don't know one directly, but ok

All lies all the time.

Yeah ok

bullshit. 92 with stage 4 cancer and other underlying ailments? oh yeah, definitely covid. many such cases. haha 😂

So? How many of cancer, heart attacks or car accidents? How many recover per 80 seconds? Stop spreading fear.

Protests are to blame.

8 months in now and just today a trump loving coworker said 'the flu kills people too'.... bless his pointy head

...and yet THIS is FoxNews focus-

Reelection is the priority,..i could do a lot more but chaos is whats needed for my plan to cheat back in again,.sorry

LIES AGAIN

So 1,080 die a day? That’s strangely specific for a virus with no mind.

Good job using a picture from the worst run place in the world - New York City - from back in April.

realDonaldTrump You. Own. This. These people died because you can’t fucking check your ego.

MoorePublicSch

Wow well... just wow

GOP SenateGOP

And all Trump can say is it's going away 🙄 This is truly one of the lowest points in the history of the country. It's not just the fact people are dying but the government is so callous to the loss of life in this country atm.

plantz3610 The FakePresident wanted America first & here we are. First in COVID__19 cases & deaths. He & his TrumpCrimeFamily must be sooo proud of the job they’re doing. He claims no responsibility & says he deserves a “10” for the job he’s doing. TrumpIsASnake

Fake News

Not true.....more fake news from this rag.

My god, this is so tragic.

maddow Vote your brains out. If you live long enough. MASK UP!

The good news is zero died from anything else.

😥☹

maddow Someone dies every 37 seconds from cardiovascular disease.

maddow But the POTUS says 'It is what it is!' SMDH. So detached from reality its shameful.

PANIC!! FEAR!!

They didn’t all have Coronavirus. The testing has thousands of false positives. You are tweeting false news!

drixthus Great... Now do H1N1

SuzeQKnits It is what it is! /s ['It is what it is' is my most hated response to anything. It forecloses ANY critical thought or reflection. It's the response of the clueless & the lazy]

Neat stat here. Thank you for sharing

Maybe they should’ve took zinc and hydroxycoumarin Yeah I know the spelling is wrong

KenneyBaden dear God

So damn sad. 💔

It is what it is!

Lmao sure

people die every day, even without Covid pandemics.

S247Ro Trump is murdering Americans TWENTY TIMES FASTER than Vietnam.

Elections matter.

Fake phoney and false.

We’re getting our asses kicked

Better start getting used to it. It’s not going away. And everyone no matter how hard you try to avoid it, is eventually going to catch it. Hopefully they get a vaccine, but as of now they don’t have one.

Count that up for almost any reason and the number will seem high.

I wonder? In 2019, we averaged a death every 11 4 seconds! We lost almost 3 million Americans! May they rest in peace. So on top of heart disease, cancer, lung disease, we lose one to corona every 80 seconds? At that % it's 244,000 deaths. We are on pace to make that! Sadly!

natasharothwell 'Very proud, really tremendous numbers.' - djt. 'It is what it is.' - djt. Sad.

maddow

Now how many died from everything else in the last 7 days?

maddow BS

maddow Yes and the virus deaths are ALL due to the trump mishandling of the whole covid19 pandemic. trump has blood on his hands for the 157, 556 American deaths due to the virus.

the information is misleading Nigeria discharge 11k+ within 24hrs I'm sure they will discharge more than that tomorrow maybe magic is around corner....

Somebody dies every 12 seconds in the USA. Got anymore fake news?

maddow Trump being POTUS has been the kiss of death for almost 160,000 people. We may not survive four more years of him Making America Dead.

How many deaths are actually covid related and not death by another way , hospitals are Given x amount of $ for covid patients explain to we the viewers why should we believe you

DanniLouJew These are provisional death counts...they haven’t been verified and coded correctly. Per Cdc the number will change once death cert are filed, which still claims more deaths are corona than that really are. Not good that people are dying but we have to stop the spreading fear

maddow

Now do cancer, tuberculosis, heart disease, and abortion.

Current US death toll is the equivalent of 40 planes crashing every week. I wonder what the response would be if 40 planes started falling out of the sky every week.....

IT IS WHAT IT IS

COVID19 SuperSpreader is NO CIC!

maddow The $1 a dose BCG TB Vaccine dispensed outside USA by the Billions and found to be very safe on infants, children and adults also revs up those vaccinated immunity systems and likely would drop the Covid_19 mortality a great deal as well as those being reinfected. GiveBCG

IT IS WHAT IT IS

Communist China

Bullshit.

maddow Still less the number of people shot in Chicago

maddow Current US death toll is the equivalent of 40 planes crashing every week. I wonder what the response would be if 30 planes started falling out of the sky every week.....

FrankCote11

The Trump virus is causing havoc and he doesnt give a damn

😓...

Anita_Wahine 💔What bothers me the most is that the🦠could’ve been contained if UNFIT hadn’t been so incompetent or made it political. If only he allowed the medical experts to LEAD the entire nation to stay home (for awhile) wear😷, social distance & wash hands. 🇨🇦did it, so could’ve 🇺🇸. 😢

Keep people scared NBC. No different way to support democrats

Now NBC News is concerned. Back in April when senior citizens were left to die NBC News didn't care.

LeonelCarlosPG Now you know what we mean when we say “either wear a damn mask or stay the hell home”...

LeonelCarlosPG It makes U wonder how many of these pple were protesting a month ago...🤔would this B self-inflicted stupidity...?

DrJenCaudle Trump don’t care

they need hcq, oh wait it is banned by the oms

How long does it take trump to play an 18-hole round?

acastaneda3705 It's chilling.

maddow Don’t worry, Trump says everything is under control. We’re doing great. Open everything up.

One death every 80 seconds! BODY COUNT DOESN’T MATTER. “It is what it is!” VOTE! JoeNBC maddow NicolleDWallace Sutton_ImpactU

1 person every 80secs? How many persons are remaining?

It is what it is

maddow Yet potus tells all that his administration is handling it very very well 🤔🤔🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐 so either you are lying or he is lying. Since TrumpLiesEverytimeHeSpeaks it is certain he is lying 🤥 🤥🤥🤥🤥 QED

But my conservative friends tell me these people are just being counted as corona deaths when they secretly died of other causes so 🤷‍♀️

maddow Is Cuomo still sending them back to the nursing homes?

mel33 Yep and one person responsible for that, tRump💀

😥😥

That person must be tiring from dying every 80 seconds.

That's what WE are working towards -- things to go away in November.

Lie Such propaganda Is anyone really buying what you are selling?

kat_coulston 😥😳😥😳😥

Not FROM Covid, rather WITH Covid.

maddow Now do how many survived.

Bull

Some people are plain selfish and ignorant. Comparing CoVid to other diseases. Maybe if their own family member or close one suffers, maybe thats the only time they'll think about it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

kepaulson1958

Impossible! How can one person die that many times? 🤣😜🤪😅😆😂

maddow And yet the “President” says “it is what it is” won’t show any remorse on how he failed the American ppl... what a disgusting display of leadership!!!! We are in desperate need of a leader

LeonelCarlosPG It is what it is says President Yo Semite. YoSemites

katspaks It is what it is.

What would happen if “Death Took A Holiday?” Overcrowding , hunger, no medical help. Death is sad. My sister just died from Necrotizing Fascitous. Terrible. Save who you can. Let the rest go peacefully.

My office: come on back on August 24th. We don’t have a real safety plan!

Trump said 'It is what it is' Biden2020Landslide

maddow Send this pic to the Biden campaign..this is cold, stark, and makes you sick to your stomach.

More fake news from the LEFT trying to push there bull crap.. That not new for NBC All about money to them nothing more....

Everyday in the United States 3000 babies are aborted (terminated) and nobody cares. If the media would post those numbers maybe the people would wake up to this bigger crisis and it's all by choice. GOD HELP US.

Lies lies lies. Not from coronavirus they didn’t. NBCNews is worthless. I remember when people respected you. smh

maddow If we had lost this many Americans in Iraq or Afghanistan, What would you say? It is what it is?

maddow The rate is comparable to the rate of death among American soldiers in WWII.

maddow Remember what the 'leader' of the RUNAWAY RED ELEPHANT CORONAVIRUS PARTY said: 'It is what it is.'

maddow “It is what it is”, until it gets worse.

Oh My God !

DejahThorisQ

maddow This is appalling....though Trump's anti-maskers might call it the price of freedom or some such turgid American-exceptionalism-ism

maddow Where is outrage, the indignation

and not one funeral....

maddow Still think you should send your kids back to school?

maddow TrumpFailedAmerica

maddow It is past time to let people know that for every death there are 80 to 100 people that can be infected. I watch a 60 minutes show from Australia about it back in March. Look it up.

And trump and his cult couldn’t care less.

moved2italy .WhiteHouse

maddow .realDonaldTrump - CoronavirusPandemic IS JUST NOT GOING AWAY you incompetent idiot! You are not a Scientist - we don’t trust your ego driven advice & don’t respect how you ignore the facts. WorstPresidentInHistory Biden2020Landslide

Despicable.

maddow 😔🙏😡

Not from, fake news, with. Big difference.

So, obviously, masks don’t work.

maddow So much for the lies Trump continues to spew, it is NOT going away, our children are getting sick

maddow 7,560 seems about accurate

maddow GOP must pay for this!

Ask trumpery and he will tell you, it is what it is. What a heartless sob

A lot of nonsensical silly comparisons going on here. It’s like being in jr high and having a wise guy student having fun egging on a teacher with equally silly comparisons on a point he’s trying to make by bringing up countless “what about” examples.

iam_sysop

Just ...

Heart attack = coronavirus Stroke = Coronavirus Cancer = coronavirus Motorcycle accident = coronavirus 115 died in sleep = coronavirus Suicide = coronavirus Strange how all these other deaths are being reported as coronavirus though, huh?

maddow May God bless our doctors and scientist

Fucking mask 😷 on

I would hate to be the person who dies every 80 seconds.

MorganStanley you're responsible

maddow But, but, I thought it was all a Democrat hoax! I weep for our country.

The president of the divided states of America is still in denial........ it is what it is

So what's your point? Babies and killed every second. I don't see the media caring about those deaths. That's the REAL pandemic!!!

And miraculously, not one fatality from heart disease, stroke, hypertension, cancer or Alzheimer's disease since early March.

Please post the stats on the flu.

Ok. A person dies every 4 seconds from heart disease and obesity.

maddow To cheer up I watch your face as election results came in , you totally played yourself , bias Hillary lover . LOL wake up call , round ll of Trump ! Why ? Because the democratic party is a joke !!!!! Give us a choice , not a no brainer , Trump again !

PEOPLE DIE! THIS IS NOT NEWS!

Very sad.

It is what it is.

maddow 😢

Winning. He’s right, I’m sick of winning!

That's all just a myth in Washington DC.

maddow This really puts the 'it is what it is' comment from Trump in a harsh light. Good God. Remember when Jimmy Carter was fatally out of touch because he wore a sweater and asked Americans to turn their thermostats down?! This guy is super casual about 160k Americans dying.

We lose 22 veterans a day to suicide and nobody talks about it. So what about that? Anything to say NBC?

It is what it is.

It is what it is

LeslieMarshall No heart attacks, cancers?

maddow Please also note that over 12,000 people die per week of heart disease in the United States

maddow Covid is now the third most common cause of death this year.

And some of the Covid patients die from motorcycle accidents. Right? How does anyone keep up with all the numbers!? Who believes any of these stats anymore?

Vaccines not ready yet losses beloved

maddow 😥😥😥💔

maddow The only numbers Trump cares about are those he gets on the back nine ⛳️.

DA PREZYDUNT AZ ZSAYD DAT: “VWELL, ITT IZ VWATT ITT IZ” EW EVR VOWT’D 4 DRUMP, NEAD’Z 2 NOO JUZT EW THAYR GUNNA VOWTE 4! VWATT DU U ZSEE N DRUMP, 2 EEVYN VOWTE 4 EM? OW NYEVE R THOWZ VOWTER’Z?😎👽💪🏿😷🇺🇸

Wrong. They might have tested positive with it, but they didn't all die from it, not even close. Stop spreading lies and fear.

maddow trump; 'It is what it is. I take no responsibility.'

maddow Evil

Trump is unconcerned!

POTUS and GOP negligent homicide

It is what it is...

maddow IIWII (It is what it is)

Damn😢

and trump tweeted insults every 80 seconds but did nothing for people suffering through covid or unemployment

669 new victims so far today.

BobBecken why don't you just say 126

maddow Trump: Tremendous numbers like no one have ever seen before.

A person dies every 12 seconds in the US

Now do cancer, heart disease, diabetes, pneumonia

maddow This is horrifying and we are all getting USED to hearing it! When is this gonna stop? Considering our “leadership’s” inability to formulate a plan, there is no telling when we will rebound.

In NY & NJ it was twice as much.

Let our doctors give us early treatment and this won't happen. Oh that's right, you can't talk about that, can you!!!!! HydroxycholoroquineWorks

maddow realDonaldTrump this doesn’t sound like “it’s under control”.

There is also good news like better treatments and a coming vaccine. Americans are strong people and we can get through this together.

Every one of those deaths is a victim of deadbeat donald. He killed them all by ignoring every single warning until it was too late.

maddow Lie. Wake up people. You are being deceived.

maddow The fact that they're spread out so evenly is highly suspicious!

maddow MAGA2020 means making it every 60 seconds. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

maddow Trump, The 80 Second Man. Put that on your posters.

maddow Fear mongering is all media does for the past 4 years.

Well, hey... ...as THE TERRIBLE TROLL TRUMP says: “IT IS WHAT IT IS.”

Total coronavirus deaths in New Zealand: 22

Though some may say 'it is what it is,' it did not have to be

And GOPers killed HRC over 3 dead diplomatic personnel. For fuck sake.

Trump remains laser focused on his golf game.

BS

Man what was it when NY and NJ were piling up bodies?
