Hey, Chris here – what is the guidance in your state?
I definitely agree with the all the people in the protester lock down every thing seriously
protesters risking their lives? are you paid to be stupid?
How are lockdowns working now??? What a joke on ignorant people who would allow govt to lockdown for a virus with a 99.95% survival rate. Shut off businesses Americans livelihood. What a joke to make this about Trump. This is about the mental health, economic stability of families, and when we shut down the means of production, the world will suffer due to starvation. If you don’t know that then you are so blind to the affects of lockdowns. It is just a political statement for you or being in a side. Let’s be on the side of people!
The obvious politics surrounding an obvious "plandemic" will cease or we will know the reason why. All involved will be held liable. ESPECIALLY the media. They are criminals.
Remember the holocaust.

Because hé believes just as I that Corona that kills only 0.28% (less than 3x ordinary flue) does not justify strict measures.
Fake media and fake corona plandemia👍😎😎😎
May cnn burn to the ground
Look up: Gavin Newsom at an indoor birthday party wearing no mask, sitting shoulder to sholder, living life having a good old time meanwhile we have to stay home for all occasions including Thanksgiving and Christmas. Tickets are cheap now…go out and visit friends and family and celebrate, enough of this nonsense! Gavin Newsom son goes to a private school where they wear no mask and he get to socialize, meanwhile our children are locked up at home like hermits!!!!Look Covid-19 is real but the numbers of death's are not. (People are dying in hospitals because the doctor's are not giving them the proper medication, doctor's and nurses have already established that)The CDC is paying the medical facilities $39,000 with covid-19 death…why? and is it with our tax dollars? Follow the money. The reason they are paying them $39,000 is to over inflate the number to be able to do forced vaccinations for shear profiting the 8%of the population or so.
Everyone's running around Scared MASKED UP, while jogging, walking alone, taking to each other…why? When it's unnecessary. If you don't have a chronic health issue you'll be fine. Everyone's running around like a bund of scared uninformed babies… do your homework! What is wrong with you all? Come on y'all, liquor stores are open, Walmart's are open, Home Depot's are open but exercise facilities are closed, Churches are closed so why aren't you all questioning that?
The hospitals want you to get depressed and get on their antidepressant drugs so they can further control the masses as they're doing now. The masks do not protect us, everyone knows this and they still wear them without fail. Mask deprive us from oxygen…look, 2 children have died of covid-19 in California according to the news so why have they shutdown the schools? Right now 11/20/20 the number of Covid-19 cases are up BECAUSE THEY ARE TESTING PEOPLE. GOOGLE or YouTube what's a faults positive test is y'all. YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO LET THEM RUIN YOUR THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS WHILE THEY LEAD A NORMAL LIFE!!! Follow the money Gavin Newsom is just profiting of this and the vaccine like the rest of the Elite. What is it going to take for you guys to open up your eyes? This is a lie…all you have to do is boost your immune system with a good source of vitamin C, zinc and D3 for God sakes and live life. I also take Super green powders by country way, I buy it at walmart.com for $14.97 my joke is one scoop of day will keep the doctor away.
I'm trying to live a normal life but it's hard when you all won't fight for truth and normalcy with this covid-19 scam Plan-demic.
Follow Dr. Richard Bartlett MD from Texas, dr. Scott Jensen senator from Minnesota, Dr. Simone gold from the American Frontline doctors, Dr. Buttar, Dr. Shiva on the topic of covid-19 and the. In the Netherlands and all across the United States and the world there are a ton of lawsuits against the vaccine and all you guys want to do is live in fear and start fighting for rights to not get vaccinated. I seen a Netherlands panel announcing the lawsuit and a woman stating she is affiliated with over 80,000 nurses that do not want the vaccine, doesn't that make you want to say 🥺😏🤬? Well it better.
They will vaccinate first all the old people in rest homes and I believe that it is elderly abuse because they for sure are not informed as to what's in the vaccine. Next are nurses and anyone who works with the public as in police bus drivers and cab drivers 🥵🤪😲 and I'm fighting NOW so the people who are investigating in big pharma don't win by sticking us with a vaccine that has not been tested long enough and who are not liable for the harm they may cause us.
We must fight and speak out because if we don't we are going to see something in the United States in the world that is unprecedented…so do your homework PLEASE.
FOLLOW PEGGY HALL THE HEALTHY AMERICAN ON YOUTUBE ALSO. She has documents you can download to send two the the stores you frequent so you can send them all your city, country and state forms/Letters to help stop this madness. Please do you and your families a favor to live life to the fullest…Gavin Newsom IS! WHY CANT WE? and so are the other state official's, trust me.
Most leader like Bill Gates, falchi, the CDC are all a bunch of old Crocks that are too old to party and have fun so they are money hungry Mongols that stand to make a mint off of vaccinating the world.
Please wake up and STOP BEING A DUMB SHEEP.
FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE… FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO LIVE A GOOD LIFE AS THEY ARE LIVING.

But as a cab driver, cancer survivor I have been exposed to covid-19 many times by picking up people from Wuhan China at the airports and when I could not breath, I took all the about vitamins I mentioned but more vitamin C, 1000 mg 3 times a day for 3 or 4 days (you cannot take this much if you have bad kidneys) I took 5 low-dose baby aspirin 81mg the five times I was exposed to Covid-19 (at the time it was Before Trump closed the boarder's and I did not know what the covid-19 symptoms were. But I know as a 62 yr old woman the ASPIRINS are my go to when I don't feel well (like if I get little sharp pains in my heart or if I've eaten to much and I've over done it and I can't breathe right) both my partners have had strokes so I keep myself in shape. I do not trust the hospitals in terms of covid-19 because I've heard the death toll numbers and I know how to help myself and listening to these doctor's and other doctor's who are telling the truth.
Keep your churches open!!!
Everything you watch on the News is a song and dance pony show to distracted US ALL TO THE VACCINE AND THE ELITES AGENDA ON THIS VACCINE!!! WAKE UP!
Don't ruin your THANKSGIVING or Christmas plans, airplane flights Archie go visit family. Take lots of pictures and post them on social Media!!….. SMH.
Trump was the only chance of us not getting vaccinated. We all should be concerned if we aren't getting real results of our votes. We all should want to get rid of the electoral college vote, that also does not suit us. Run for office and get rid of all the old foggies, we need to start a petition to stop these lifelong positions in the White House because they're all a bunch of sellouts and they take nothing but lobbyist money and that's one of the ways they become rich. Stop the corruption!
I guess CNN prefers BLM burning cities to the ground, instead of people wanting to go to work.
Who will CNN blame for everything once Trump is gone?
Why the left is encouraging violent riots under the guise of human civil right movements. Let's talk about that one !!!
CLOWN NEWS NETWORK
THIS VIDEO IS 6 MONTHS OLD AND who….CNN…is encouraging lockdowns CONTINUE!!!! YOU, CNN. YOU PATHETIC LIBERAL GARBAGE "NEWS"
CNN always comes through with the most stunning psychologically manipulative propaganda. Congrats.
The guy making this video is an idiot.
Trump is not encouraging the coronavirus lockdown protests. It’s the democrats that are causing this. This video is just left wing propaganda
Thank you for being so truthful and unbiased CNN! Your journalism is totally unparalleled and not BS at all!
There’s a thick and very seeable line between telling real news to the people of America instead of making up stories to gravitate sleep people towards you so-called progressive goals. The world is better off without CNN, oops FNN (Fake News Network)

The Federal Judge Ruling against the PA Governor will resonate and I can see Business Owners and other American Citizens bring challenge against Government Trampling on Citizens Rights. There is no Pandemic clause that would give any State or even the Federal Government the right to trample on the Bill of rights. The US Constitution can not be dismissed even in the name of Public Safety
What a load of bullshit..Stick that tweet whistle up his ass.
As a Russian who can get offended I see that the Nazi Flag is vary vary offensive the Confederate Flag is also offensive but I am not American so I don’t know lol
