Doctor calls for “leadership” amid coronavirus crisis
California health officials are rushing coronavirus testing kits to a cruise ship docked off-shore. A passenger who had disembarked within two weeks prior died on Wednesday, becoming the state’s first coronavirus-linked fatality. Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency to try and rush federal and state efforts to contain the virus. Dr. David Agus joins “CBS This Morning” to respond to the latest updates on the potential outbreak.

WHO: It’s not a pandemic
Government: 100% believes in WHO
Me: Bulls!@# it’s already a pandemic weeks ago
Moral of the story: You’re on your own.
@TheAes86 Yes there is, it’s called “don’t worry, be happy”
Y’all believe me now?
Since there is no scientific consensus for a pandemic, the definition varies depending on the organization. The coronavirus does not meet the criteria under the world health organization’s denotation; however, it has been declared an public health emergency, which has a universal definition and therefore is better for action. Now, the national institute of Heath can advise the United Nations and other countries and receive more Federal funding for research. Although calling the coronavirus may make people more cautious, ultimately it is better that it is deemed a public health emergency because more people will be helped.
Finally, being anti-social will pay off.

@COVID-19 Seattle got enough money to survive as a hermit?
Knock Knock! …Go Away!!!!!
Earth Life exactly that happens even without a virus 🦠 😂
Turkey decided to hide its Corona cases! Seriously! not even one case is reported. They failed again Syria and so now they quietly spread the virus to Europe!
its too late im sure a bunch of people who been running around large groups have already been in contact with u and contaminated something in your home which will last on surface for 28 days.
Common sense in the US died a long time ago, along with leadership and government caring about human lives.
@Nick Webb no, you don’t. People that die are the old and immunocompromised. Literally, most adults and children that catch it don’t even have symptoms. Everyone needs to chill out. The news is tricking you into panicking. N95 masks and masks in general don’t even stop you from getting the virus. It’s so small it will go through the mask.
Panther God you can still get it if you’re healthy, just because your healthy doesn’t make you immune to everything.
@Nick Webb you can get it just like the flu. You literally catch anything, but most of the time, when a healthy person catches the coronavirus, they don’t even have symptoms, and just because you have caught the coronavirus doesn’t mean you’ll die from it. Look at the flu, it’s way worse than coronavirus. It’s killed 10 million people yearly, but you don’t hear about that because, to the news, it’s not the new hot thing that will get views.
@Pam Schobelock ha ha ha…sure, Pam, keep watching FOX and eating those alternative facts.
South Korea has it right with the drive thru testing. Captain Trips is a sneaky one.
I actually hadn’t heard of this until now and it’s absolutely amazing……I’ve been thinking this whole time about how terrible it is to go to a hospital to be tested only to find out it’s negative when you’ve been sitting in a breeding ground for the virus with possible spreading from people who don’t know they’re infected who are also there to get tested, coughing and sneezing all over the waiting room. And my emergency room takes like 6+ hours in and out it’s ridiculous, been there multiple times for a broken ankle and they just make you wait in the waiting room for like 2 hours and then stick you in a room once you go back to see the doctor for 4 more hours and it takes them like 15 minutes to actually do what you went for and you’re still there for hours and hours. I had been brought back and was sitting in a room last year sometime and they were legit ordering lunch while I was in agony. Like I get you can’t decide if you want Asian or Mexican but I’m dying here and the place is a literal ghost town with like one other patient and you’re still just letting me sit here. I have to actually be dying or close to dying to ever go there now…….we only have one urgent care and it’s decent I guess but you can wait there for hours too. My primary doctor has an appointment only schedule so you’d be dead before getting tested there lol ugh it’s all so frustrating I hate most doctors in America, they’re so lazy.
Seems to me if we had this in the USA for six weeks as some doctors are saying and yet no doctors have not seen a rise in flu-like deaths, we are doing very well. EVEN without tests.
@Janet M o o n that spells virus
Then why is the military evacuated to the Philippines….now…as in now!.
Someone is playing Plague Inc on hard mode.. “the cure is 10% complete”
ikr and greendland still virus free
More like casual mode. COVID-19 has been noticed, but too few are talking it seriously, the cure is still too far out to be helpful, and millions are infected and growing fast! At least there’s no kissing festival, and they’re discussing whether to cancel the Olympics.
@Robert Hunter That’s true! Many people tested positive for covid-19 and who knows how many others are infected. We all know what happens in plague inc. Infect everyone then activate the deadly symptoms o.o
hope they lose
I think the whole world needs to stay put and stop traveling for at least 2 weeks
And we will have the greatest economical crisis ever and probably more people will die as a result. Think wisely.
Victoria Smith people were wanting to leave there but when they came here it spreads
try two months u idiots are gonna die soon anways u treated this like it was a joke because the media luled u to sleep. remember these guys got bunkers in mountains to run off to when the civil unrest with firearms begins.

@Raxx Moving to the US mainland. Puerto Rico is a part of the United States so, not a migration.

@Reece Rauðr “We’re also offering thoughts and prayers half off”
So, what does the death toll have to be in order for officials to call for the shut down of airline travel?
It’s already to late for that. The only time it would have worked was when it was just in China
Because the rich and investors don’t want to lose any money. They are playing with our lives for profit.
It’s too late
It seems like it’s never too late to do the right thing like shutting down air travel especially given that there are two strains now, it can mutate, and people can be re-infected. I’m guessing about a million people have to die before they shut down the airports. Of course elites have private planes…
That’s a lot of planes to shut down. Not sure that’s even viable. People have places to be. It would destroy the economy, and you’d probably get more people killed just by flight cancelations. The entire world depends on air travel. No way thousands of flights are going to be canceled for an upgraded flu virus.
Gamers will survive, they never go outside.
What about school -.-
Jon Jon @VIEWSBRANDS
Don’t encourage them!
They’ll die from heart attack or blood clot
@sappo wappo Oh no 😳
“Don’t touch the little prayer thing on the doorway”
We can make fun of him or we can educate people. So what’s it called.
@TheMurrmursonbottle That’s holy water, it can’t be tainted. Drinking it will cure AIDS, only few know.
@beispielsweise weise it is called a mezuzah. Not sure if that is the typical spelling
I respect him for saying he doesn’t know much about the virus.
beispielsweise weise propaganda!
LOADING… hi 😀
honestly tho he was so honest genuine and transparent. its exactly what we need rn
LOADING… @VIEWSBRANDS
Nobody knows all about it really.
“Low risk” Famous final words before the outbreak.
I swear we are living in the movie “Idiocracy”
We are. President Camacho has already almost finished his first and last term.
@Brian I hope you are right.

See what I mean…
Keep laughing buddy. Keep laughing.
Welcome to costco, I love you.

“It’s not necessarily for ourselves, maybe it’s for our elderly parents. Maybe it’s for our neighbor who’s 85 years old, or the neighbor two houses down who has breast cancer and is getting treatment. We all have to look out for each other.”
THANK YOU. The amount of times I’ve heard “it’s no big deal if you don’t have underlying health conditions.” Or “We’re all going to get it, let’s catch it now and get it out of the way before summer.” Go the extra step to try and prevent it, for others. I’m so happy to hear there’s still compassion for people who are struggling. And I wish we would implement drive thru tests like South Korea, it’s a great idea.
Right! When they say, “don’t worry it’s only an issue for those who have underlying conditions” I’m over here being like, and what about those with underlying conditions?!
What about those who may not even know they have underlying conditions!!
Yes it must be stopped for the elderly and infirm.
“Leadership.” That’s SO asking for a lot these days!
No doubt. Democrat heads ruined California and also that leadership wants to ruin the rest of the country.
“We need leadership.”
