People are wasting masks by not covering their nose, it's frustrating to watch.

That's a twisted value system. Healthcare providers struggling to get protective equipment. Military well stocked and raring to go.

This is what happens when you don't take things seriously. Wouldn't you rather live to hate on my comment, then have some loved one read my comment extending my condolences? ... My heart goes out to everyone effected, please stay strong and pray.

Meanwhile, they are partying it up on Florida beaches.

US citizens have to advise the government what to do 🤔, This is terrifying 😣

Now america should realize that instead of spending money on war do.spend money in medics ans science

Canada needs to double down on efforts to enforce physical distancing. And start contracting companies to build ventilators.

If we could put everything on pause for 20 days, that'd be perfect.

If we just did this really early, there'd be no virus.

I thought this is a first world country

All states in USA should be treated as individuals and should be able to ban travels states to states. That way a state should not have to care for others states covid-19 patients unless necessary. Stop the spread by stopping domestic travels.

800, 000 send a letter to the president about social distancing? Seriously?

The president is the one that SHOULD be doing that.

Almost all the President/leaders ( if not all ) around the world = Lockdown ( why? )
People's safety first ( Top Priority )

Trump = Reopen, the american people needs to go to work
We need to do something because our economy collapsed

Seriously? What if people collapse?

Only good thing is that u can drive throught the City in less than 15 min now.

This was always going to Happen. US had full 2 months head start US should have put full home quarantine for all residents. If everything was shut for a month death rate would not rise.

[rohitgangadhare]

Anyone from India, look at how bad the situation of this country has been, so stay home quarantine🙏🙏

[JohnSmith-tvkb]

We got called lunatics and alarmists back in February. Now, those same people that called us by those names are shocked and outraged at the fact they didn’t see this coming.

[pallafox]

The hotels in NYC really need to vacate spaces for the growing number of patients. get some works to sanitize it for 2 days and increase bedding, this is insane.

[Farhan]

U.S should thank their commander in chief for lying to them 👏

What really hit me was when I saw the coffins in the church 😢😢 so sad, just, so sad
