  1. Notice this great Dr. Choo is Asian? My daughter is a med student, she will be a great Asian doctor one day to save Americans’ lives. I pray no one will attack her for her ethnicity and hope I am excused for my worries.

  2. If the hospitals are overflowing with the dying and the dead, why are there all those videos of empty halls and joyous dancing nurses coming out?
    Keep up the high spirits and thanks for the help.

  3. O God!
    Bless all with Health and Wealth,
    Bless all with Money and Harmony,
    O God! Bless all with Peace and Bliss,
    Bless all with Wisdom and your Devotion.’

  4. Government is GOD. Do not question authority. OBEY, CONFORM, CONSUME, and FEAR!! No critical thinking allowed. They would NEVER LIE to you. Just TRUST the “experts”. Otherwise expect a visit from the thought police.
    Research AGENDA 21/2030 and see how much this “fits the bill” (Club of Rome).
    One world government goals-
    Mandatory vaccinations
    Government digital currency
    Social crediting
    Universal Basic Income (welfare)
    Smart cities
    Internet of things, work at home, everything in the digital realm
    Track, trace, surveillance 7/24- everywhere all the time including inside your home
    APPS to monitor your status and conformity
    5G
    Government to seize all property, water, resources, food production, healthcare, vehicles, etc. and redistribute as government sees fit, to “save the planet” and to “keep you safe”.
    THE U.S.A. INC. is becoming COMMUNIST CHINA real fast!!
    “Those who would give up freedom for security, deserve neither.” Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin

  5. After all this the health care workers will suffer from ptsd ,, especially here in New York who is going to look out for them …we will need a health and compensation fund for these selfless people…

    • Have you bothered to personally go out and see what it is like at the NYC hospitals??? Many citizen journalists have filmed ZERO activity at many hospitals in the city.
