  1. Bars and restaurants struggling to survive but the funeral business is booming. Truck repair business booming, hospitals booming, for some business covid 19 is good ( firearms and ammo again booming) folks that blame president trump and governors, mayors are plain ignorant. but the biggest joke is people REALLY believe face masks protect them specially those idiots wearing full facial plastic shields unless you wear a military style gas mask with eye protection you are just drinking the (k) cool aid

  2. If they would stop going to the bridges and dragging in desperately ill people who are not Americans things would be a lot better everywhere in this country!

  3. This virus is like lottery , all can play but only some will win
    I don't get it 1200 get sick and only 3 to 4 die , we have to close the hole town

  4. We know now that El Paso ambulances are picking up COVID patients from Mexico – sometimes 14xs a days. Fire Department whistleblower has come forward due to concern of depleted resources. Some Mexican nationals have reported they want to go to El Paso because they have pay at Mexican hospitals. Life is life – but clearly this has put El Paso at risk. It’s time to be transparent and let El Paso communities communicate to El Paso officials what they want their community to do.

  5. “In El Paso, Texas, hospitals and ICUs are at 100% capacity and a convention center is being turned into a field hospital.”

    Images of hospitals full to capacity are powerful — no words needed.

    Indeed, a runaway pandemic can bring a Democratic wave, with Trump helpless to do anything about it. He firmly boxed himself in by dismissing the virus.

  6. BULLSHYT! Liars! Convid 19 is a MILD FLU YOU IDIOTS! READ! 99.8% SURVIVAL RATE, ONLY 9K HAVE DIED FROM THE ALLEGED VIRUS ALONE! THE OTHER 94% HAD ON AVERAGE 2.6 CO MORBIDITIES! BUT PLEASE HELP THE GOVERNMENT BRING IN PERMANENT MARTIAL LAW AND A GREAT FAMINE AND GREAT DEPRESSION THE LIKES OF WHICH HAVE NEVER BEEN SEEN!

  7. This is BS I live in El Paso , and nurses say yes there are people with coronavirus but they are dying of complications along with coronavirus, but hospitals say put cause of death as coronavirus . Meaning you have the flu and get coronavirus and you pass away, they automatically say coronavirus bc you had coronavirus: very few people have just coronavirus most have other medical conditions along with coronavirus. The media need to tell the truth , the hospital’s need to tell the truth

  8. Always blaming the Millennials. First of all the youngest Millennial is about 25, why are we always groupedwith Gen zs? And second the main people I hear that they're tired of the virus are people in his age group…whining about "freedom to choose", that the virus is a "hoax" and all that crap. All my Millennial friends/family wear masks, are constantly hand washing and rarely go but go off Boomer.

  9. Dee Margo really acting like he wasn’t caught in photos relaxing with friends WITHOUT a mask and then proceeds to do the interview without one 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ bad mouthing the community doesn’t help mister MAYOR 🙄🙄🙄

  10. My husband and I are here because of the military.. El paso doesn't enforce wearing a mask..especially at crowed places. We went to target and marshalls the other day and people are just walking around free.. with not a care in a world.

  11. Lies just exaggeration
    I'm from el paso
    We have people sick but not like that , juarez is worse and are not exaggeration
    Media is fake

  12. This is the Most Important post you will ever read;

    Every one of us has broken God’s moral law, the Ten Commandments. We’ve all lied and we’ve all stolen, which makes us liars & thieves; And James 2 : 10 states that breaking even just one of these commandments makes us guilty of breaking them all.

    The problem is, we can never ‘outweigh’ our sin with good works because The Creator is perfect in holiness, meaning his standard is beyond our reach. He is also perfect in justice, meaning not a single sin will go unpunished; and our penalty for sin is death & hell, which the Bible describes as Eternal fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth .

    Fortunately God is also perfect in love, so 2000 years ago Jesus Christ left his throne in heaven and came to this earth. Here, he lived a perfect & sinless life, only to take the punishment that we deserved; Our sinless creator became our sin, & endured a painful death on a cross for our sake. Right before he died, he said ‘it is finished’.. meaning, the debt for our sins has been paid in full. On the third day, he conquered death & rose from the grave. So now, we can go free from the wrath of Gods judgement not by earning it, but rather, as a free gift of grace;

    Except a gift can either be accepted or rejected..So this is what you must do in response;

    Humbly admit to God that you have sinned against him, & through gratitude in the sacrifice of his son, repent (turn away) from your old ways. Then, confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, your savior, & the ruler of your life from this moment forward (Romans 10:9), and you will be saved .

    The moment you do this, God will grant you a new heart which no longer finds pleasure in sin, & also, he will grant you eternal life in his presence; Nothing on this earth even close to compares to what awaits believers in the afterlife.

    You’ve been informed; now the choice is yours. What you do with this information will determine where you spend ETERNITY.. meaning, this is the single most critical decision you will EVER make. And all of us here, whether believer or atheist, know deep down that every last word here is true.

    Jesus Christ is awaiting YOU right this very moment; don’t even think about sleeping tonight until you have surrendered to him, because your tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.. and as it is written (Hebrews 9 : 27);
    ‘It is appointed unto man ONCE to die, but after this, THE JUDGMENT’.

    All glory, honor and praise to Lord Jesus Christ .

  13. People in my hometown are stubborn, can't live without each other, and too used to El Paso's pleasures….. Really, I am walking the dogs and pass by the neighborhood bar and guess what? There's the vehicles outside. People have rationalized here and make up their feel good rules…….. Y'all cannot believe the lines to get tested. Imagine, over 1100 positive today……. Very nice easy going man. Always pleasant to talk too. Humble man, why? Apparently the man had a basketball history. I believe he played on a Junior College team that won a National Championship. Kind humble spirit right there. RIP Pastor Johnson, so sorry family, please find peace in Jesus

  14. This is so heartbreaking, but people won’t listen. They don’t care. They think it’s all a hoax. It’s not all millennials that are to blame. I’ve seen a lot of older people not wearing their mask. Seriously? They’re not going to take it serious until it’s a family member that’s infected. My aunt passed away from Covid 19 complications in July and now my uncle is fighting for his life as well.

  15. We wish you well El Paso, Texas. We send the people of Texas our love and sincerest sympathies for all of you who have passed and are unwell.

  16. The following (WebMD, Worldometer, CDC, WHO, and Wikipedia) information has put my mind at ease regarding covid-19. Although, MY HEART GOES OUT to those who have died and suffer from covid-19 and their families, it reassures me that the threat is not NEARLY as grievous as we see everyday on television and in the newspaper.

    "CORONAVIRUS RECOVERY RATES
    Scientists and researchers are constantly tracking infections and recoveries. But they have data only on confirmed cases, so they can’t count people who don’t get COVID-19 tests. Experts also don’t have information about the outcome of every infection. However, early estimates predict that the overall COVID-19 recovery rate is between 97% and 99.75%."

    Today's numbers (10/16/20)…
    213,000 deaths ÷ 8 million cases x 100 = 2.6% death rate or 97.4% SURVIVAL RATE!!!!! ( probably higher because we haven't tested everyone. )

    (10/21/20)
    222,000 deaths ÷ 8.35 million cases x 100 = 2.6% death rate or 97.4% SURVIVAL RATE!!!!
    SAME AS 5 DAYS AGO!!!!!

    I will take those chances any day! That means there is almost zero risk of dying if I contract Coronavirus!!!!!

    We live with similar risks everyday. One example is Car crashes.

    33,000 deaths ÷ 6 million crashes x 100 = .5% chance of dying or 99.5% survival rate.

  18. It really sucks when a generation that is not affected by a global issue won't take it seriously or act responsibly for the health of everyone….right boomers? Maybe this is just your comeuppance for your inaction on climate change?
