Here’s Why Trump’s COVID Diagnosis Was A Disaster

President Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19. Even though it’s been several days now, and we’ve known this was possible for months, it’s still so bizarre to read. Unfortunately, the tragedy of COVID-19 does not just stop at the infection of people like Donald Trump, but rather extends to the megaphones of our most mainstream media outlets. I’ve been in more Twitter feuds over the last week than I have been in my entire life on the platform, arguing with contributors to outlets like CNN, The Washington Post, and Fox News, among others. It seems to me that this virus and our political vitriol towards each other has caused us to lose all sense of logic and decency. From criticizing DO’s (Doctor’s of Osteopathic Medicine) for being inferior to asking doctors on TV to participate in “tabloid medicine”, I’m almost beginning to lose my cool. Today I walk you through what’s brought me to my breaking point.

This is *exactly* what it feels like to be yelled at by the really chill teacher..

[ThisIsTechToday]

Whoa, I've never seen Doctor Mike so upset, but I'm so glad he's taking a stand against misunderstanding and hypocrisy.

[Maria-secret]

Oh man he's pissed off, i like when he gets angry because of media giving misinformation or misleading people, i just love this man, he's so honest, you have my Respect dr.Mike

[Mrzoux]

I applaud the fact that you’re apolitical in your videos. You never degrade either side, which speaks volume to your character. It’s not about left or right, it’s about facts and health.

I'm going to be honest. I have trusted Dr Mike THE MOST when it comes to dealing with the Pandemic. His advice is always logical and is usually backed up by CDC and WHO recommendations. Plus, his "alert, not anxious" advice has really kept my sanity intact. Thanks, Dr Mike!

[Arthur_TV]

I love angry Doctor Mike, passionately dismantling misinformation with facts is always an entertaining watch.

"Osteopathic Physicians died while you were writing articles at home."

I ACTUALLY GASPED. Dr. Mike is calling everybody out on their bullshit, and I'm SO here for it.

I like how he doesn’t put out his political opinion he just says be smart be safe and don’t attack doctors

[MedlifeCrisis]

Eyyoo thanks so much for the shout out buddy. Enjoyed our conversation with Chrissy, she’s one of the best medical journalists out there and yet still has an inaccurate view of YouTube and the information contained therein, but unfortunately the ‘old media’ do tend to have a blind spot when it comes to evaluating their own accuracy. Excellent video - so glad you’ve been able to put it out so fast. Respect brother!

[al.s.]

I just love you, look at him people.
He is one of those honorable doctors who *actually* care for people’s health and not just to take their money and some publicity.
I admire you Dr. Mike, you are an amazing doctor. Thanks for being honorable and very factual, investigating, etc.
I’m a med student and I really admire you!

[trevorlovesny]

Hits the nail right on the head. Laid out well. Should be mandatory viewing.

[Catnis]

dr mikes eyes got moist when he said "Osteopathic Physicians died while you were writing articles at home", he was really truly angry and upset over this

[zahrak]

You can see how passionate Dr. Mike is about this and how much respect he has for everyone in the medical community. And he has empathy for every patient. A true doctor. Props to you Dr. Mike for keeping us in check

[ramita]

Honestly I feel so lucky to have Dr. Mike here to educate and help us. He’s clearly so pissed off but still handled this whole situation with so much class and accuracy. Thank you so much Dr. Mike. You certainly have our respect and support!

[worknprogress]

You aren’t going to make many friends on Twitter or the media, but your ethics and desire to seek the truth, means you are a priceless intellectual asset. God bless you my friend

[AMinnie]

I love the standard Dr Mike holds himself to. He may not always be able to achieve it of course, because he’s human. But he’s absolutely always trying to hold himself to a high moral standard and that matters and I’m very proud of him for that. Good on him.

[Conceptcreator]

agreed about journalist so much!!! All about the headline instead of having any integrity!

[yyclivingdiaries]

To be this upset and still be gentle, considerate, and unbiased, seems like an outstanding doctor to me.

[seahawkdragon]

My primary care doctor is a D.O. I chose him specifically for that. He is an excellent doctor and I trust him completely!

[khyathi]

I’m proud of the person and the doctor he is. This world needs more people like him.
