How Hard-Hit Navajo Nation Is Flattening Its Coronavirus Curve | NBC Nightly News
AMERICA, Have YOU had enough yet ?
Desperation drives trump now. Lot’s of stuff will be done behind stage while many will see what trump wants you to see. Stay safe, stay aware. The closer to November the more desperate and dangerous trump will become along with him his few supporters. Don’t fall for trump handing out candy as he manipulates his form of justice behind his back. Watch as His World comes closer to realizing the reality we all live in now. trump will not go quietly into that good night. He will throw fits, scream, and hold his breath as he doesn’t get his way. Dividing the states has been his mission since day one as he brings our America to it’s lowest point in history.
The impeached trump is incapable of learning from his mistakes and has infected others along the way. America has to be the strong parent now. America can once again be healthy in mind and spirit if we rid our country of the corruption and this pandemic that this spoiled child has played with long enough.
FYI, trump’s last two intelligence briefings was 22 July 2020 and 4 Aug 2020 Even though trump says on his HBO interview, that he receives intelligence briefings two or three times per week. (lies)
(Link for trump’s public schedule calendar… https://factba.se/calendar Look for Receives Intelligence Briefings)
Thirteen days go by between the last intelligence briefings, why? You would think the president would attend such an important briefing every other day, but no. I wonder which one trump does more, intelligence briefings or days of golf which to date is 287. So, Let’s do the math….
There are 52 weeks in a year, divide by 2 for every other week trump now receives intelligence briefings = 26 x 4 years in office = 104 intelligence briefings during trump’s time in office. So, trump plays golf over two times as many as he receives intelligence briefings. Are you shocked? This is only one of many things this spoiled child has been doing while holding the highest office in our United States of America.
This TRUMPsVIRUS needs to be ERADICATED. Please wear a mask and VOTE BLUE!
Pathetic.
Hello big like 2 thanks for this beautiful video top quality see you soon for another adventures
Censor this too.
God bless them for overcoming this
Yes god bless them
Prayers and blessings
These people are way smarter at handling the virus then anyone else!
Yeah they handled this phony virus good.
Lol! Yes very well 😂
@Joel Oreilly – I don’t agree. Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York State flattened their curves by following the same public health guidance. The spikes in Florida and Texas occurred because they didn’t bother to set up testing and contact tracing programs while their numbers were low. Not sure what California’s problem is because it’s so big.
blm is not welcome in Idaho…
Well done for being able to get hold of it. We did the same here in Scotland. Unfortunatly people still died along the way. As you folks mentioned its far from over. We had 20 clean days without death no infections growing. Then the UK goverment opened the skies. Flights holidays etc were opened for a whole 5 days wow. Then we have had to shut down another city. Due to 1 person infecting 6 bars. Here we go all over again. COVID does not just go away.
@ArtTzu – Can you institute mandatory quarantine as many countries have done as well as certain states in the USA?
@Yvonne Tomenga We Have In Aberdeen 28 miles away, but unfortunatly we are a small wee country. So they have sealed up the place. But people work mainly there too.it also has our main hospital. Also Univercity is there and allot of offshore workers on top. This does not help this situation. We will know in the next 7 days if its gotten 200 more people. An there are still some idiots who think this wont effect them. wearing no masks no social distancing. I hope for you folks it stays away an your safe. I totally Admire the indian nations your a tough bunch. Anyways i aint wrighting a book here. so all the best fey stoat.
@ArtTzu music – Thanks. You stay safe too.😊
*Trump rescued America from the economic oblivion under Obama*
April 2019 https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/441196-trump-rescued-america-from-the-economic-oblivion-under-obama
*Even in the midst of the economic boom America is enjoying under the stewardship of Donald Trump, Democratic candidates are suggesting we return to the failed policies of Barack Obama. Since President Trump took office two years ago, the national economic engine has been roaring, generating widespread prosperity across every corner of the country.*
Why do you have Cynthia McFadden reporting on this story? The woman who inherited Katherine Hepburn’s money and is the whitest lady in news??
Justice Boofer ew. Of course I have a job. You obviously adhere to white privilege.
@Joshua Fazeli – Can we assume you would not let black reporters do stories on white or Asian people? Is each reporter limited to reporting on the group they are a member of?
Yvonne Tomenga you shouldn’t assume anything. I think it’s wrong to have a rich white lady come to Navajo nation to report on COVID. It’s condescending at best.
@Joshua Fazeli – You didn’t answer my question. You only reiterated your position.
Yvonne Tomenga I did answer my question in regards to this story. I’m not talking about black people in this story. We are talking about native indigenous ppl who have rich white lady Cynthia McFadden come to “see what’s going on” with the Navajo ppl. Maybe she will pick up a few fabrics for her mud room.
At least there is some good news.
Nobody forcing them to live there. Get out and compete with the rest of us.. smh
The west is the most attractive area of the US …..Nevada , Utah , Arizona , Colorado , west Texas and southern California are so beautiful ….
@Blast 4 Me – Beauty is a matter of personal taste. There’s nothing I’ve seen on my trips to your favorite states to convince me to move. I prefer the seaside from when I lived there. Best yet is New England with its 4 distinct seasons, rivers, lakes, forests, rolling hills and mountains, etc.
@Yvonne Tomenga I’m originally from Boston and I find the northeast to be extremely boring especially outside of the major cities …..
Navajo Nation opvp communication. Check this website and see how these leaders talk to their people. The love respect and abundant prayer for its people. They believe their creator with all their heart and soul.
They wear a 😷 & survive.
1 in 5 covid deaths were in NY…
@discorperted – Old data. California and Florida now surpass New York State.
Navaho is more united than the rest of Americans.
@RFI-Crypto Lab BS
@Zuza U.
If you believe the mainstream media you’re a sheep.
It’s Navajo with a J not a H
@RFI-Crypto Lab didn’t Jesus say something about separating the sheep from the goats? As I recall, the sheep got to go with Jesus, the goats went somewhere else.
@Lucky Baldwin Your legs must hurt from jumping to that conclusion
Man, Navajo Nation, I guess there is a lesson we all need to learn there. Since we can’t compare ourselves to China and other nations. (Keyword: Mask, Lock Down, Curfew)
Prayers and blessings to you all.
Alex…I’ll take Apaches for $800
Yeah, right. Manually fulfilled prophesies. You are going to be judged by the people you hate, not the other way around.
This virus is all a sham.
@RFI-Crypto Lab – You wish! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Yvonne Tomenga
Sheep
Go to your hospital and see for yourself. Ask them how their ICU is doing. Don’t listen to a radio host or facebook post over doctors on a disease.
@The Okayed Boomer
It’s empty.
I don’t know anyone that’s been sick. Neither do my coworkers or family.
This is nothing more than the flu.
I said the same thing about this virus. I thought it was fake. We got sick & it certainly doesnt feel like a flu. You wouldn’t enjoy not tasting or smelling anything for 3weeks. I literally watched my father’s body shutdown on me & it took his life. I am a Navajo that lives in the reservation with my family. Don’t underestimate this virus. It might take ur loved ones too…
⭐️🇺🇸⭐️TRUMP2020⭐️🇺🇸⭐️
When have we been smothered in daily “Death Tolls” and “Infection” numbers Day after Day, Hour after Hour for Six (6) months? Never, until Covid-19 “The Never Ending Virus” came along!
Bravo.
Wow! They did as Germany, South Korea. An example to follow!
@ Moni Dag – And as Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York State did.
trump says US testing is the highest..Have you or your love ones been tested yet? Testing everyone many times make Covid19 Visible (not invisible). We can’t attack what we cannot see
SO wearing facial coverings or masks, social distancing, proper hygiene and testing does work to curtail the spread of COVID-19.
How about that? WHO knew, 🙄.
STOP THE HATE. STOP THE MADNESS. _…stop the stupidity._
VOTE! Anybody but republican in 2020, 2022 and 2024 elections.
You can vote for a can of Beans if you must, since trump approves of Beans in the Oval Office, but a vote for Joe Biden is the only _Right_ choice.
It’s not them , it’s you. Everyone knows that.
Trumps new five words for after the election – Pardon . . . Me . . . Ivanka . . . Screw . . . Jared!
Lockdowns work…
what’s your white religion got to do with native (Hebrew)?
I remember watching their story months ago. Great to know they did great job even with limited resources.
Segregation by choice . Come join the melting pot of the earth’s people. Frivolous reporting.
The navajos are not flattening the curve. The navajo government leaders want to make it look that way because they got 713 million dollar from trump. But in reality. Its way worst than ever. Its kind of like a cover up of the real truth. Watch you will see. The worst is only yet to come. Because they are not counting over 100,000 navajos that dont have access to the out world. Or rides. They are only counting people who live in communties. Not people that live in the deep rez. So to say only 3,000 people have the virus. Not true. Its more like 80,000 that got it. On the navajo rez
Such a simple answer , listen to the professionals, who would think it would be that easy to save lives. Obviously not the orange squatter in the WH
white man say we have bad disease…navajo say “no $#!t idiots.”
It’s called wisdom & having the common sense to implement it quickly
look after your own thats why they will out live whitie
Yup!
The original owners of this land are being marginalised and become the lodgers of their own land and suffer property and racial discrimination! Is this the American dream ?
What American dream? The US today is built on imperialism and capitalism brought here from the Eastern Hemisphere. Indigenous people got no say in how the modern-day is, this video even highlighted that how people are living in the Navajo nation is because of the systematic racism throughout history, its a third world country inside of the US.
@Spark coal idk about anybody, but after the 2008 recession my family lost everything. However they worked hard, spended their money where they needed to, and now we have a house and live comfortably. BTW, neither my parents have college education and my mother is an immigrant. I’ve seen immigrants able to buy a house too. The American dream is real, however it isn’t easy at all. I truly believe you can make it anywhere in life with hard work, and dedication.
👍🏾🙏🏾🛐💞
Why don’t you let the Navajo speak for themselves instead of these white women. I mean exclusively.
The Navajos did this because the most vulnerable, their elders, are also the most revered. It’s sad that isn’t the case in the rest of America
Why do the people that live on reservations live like they’re in a Third World country when they’re right here in America?
why don’t they have good normal running water?
Because the US government uses loopholes to strangle the Native people…they might get those things…IF they give up their culture and identity to become “white” people. This has been the way to destroy Native people since outright killing them became unpopular. The US does not teach true history when it comes to the indigenous people of North America. What you just witnessed is only a fraction of the heartache that is suffered on reservations.
@Stephnie Valdes So true. And because of limited resources, they will survive and outlive the white person. Big ups to all and take care.
Not Exactly but it’s all funding… yes we should live in city’s and places that have all of these things but us Natives like our own land our own water…. but look we flatten the curve by staying home and isolated ourselves… if we lived in city’s we would of been high with our cases… we have our own land and can build our own house… and don’t have to worry paying monthly and our life stock can enjoy living freely… it all has to do with funding… the president put us natives at the bottom with funding so we have to make life with what we have….
The Indians are doing better than certain States wow
Yeah white people in America are too busy getting wasted and rioting while defying safety precautions.
We like to be addressed as Natives not Indians… and to be more specific Navajos
100% 😷 compliance??? 🤥
Great story. Thank you for sharing this story.
Instututional rascism? They are a self governing nation.
They are responsible therefore for their own economic and social development.
They choose to live as they wish and should be proud of themselves. Don’t blame their standard of living on others.
Prayers and condolences to all the Navajo nation tribal members. I am personally so sorry for the natives who reside here. It is something the country had not experienced since 1918 before our times under poor leadership in the Whitehouse. I feel the pain you all have and my heart is with you.
😎….
Vote for #Trump2020 and save this Country from the far left
#lockhimup!
The whole Navajo Nation is not in poverty. People choose to live in out lying areas. We choose to live in an area of “town” where there is running water and electricity. We grow flowers in our front yard. We choose to live here. Therefore we chose our own outcome. The reservation is a unique place of the older sheepherding generation and the modern comforts of life. Racism is not the reason why some people live in “poverty.” I believe it’s also the system of our government. All monies that are dispersed go through the General Fund in Window Rock. For example, grants obtained by different departments go into the melting pot and the original intended receivers of the grant never get the monies. The councilman Eugene Tso in the video was standing in front of a nice mobile home. He makes a councilman salary but yet we see shed homes in the video. Where are all the millions of dollars for the past years going? The system is not easy on people who want to start businesses. We live in an area that is on County and Navajo Nation land. We pay the “junk food tax”, “Chapter tax” and the “Navajo Nation tax” and where Dollar General sits we pay an extra county tax. We have casinos, we never get per cap. The monies are not spent on bettering the water system or providing electricity to outlying areas. So stop sending money to the NN, let the NN use the monies on providing services for their own people. The Navajo has the capabilities to provide better services to their own people.
THE MERCENARY 2020 now on DVD and on amazon ………..
Some say it’s Racism, attempt to wipe out the Navajo Nation, whatever your conclusion is that virus is very much real and killed a tremendous amount of innocent NAVAJOs. Fake virus whatever you want to call it has changed the way every person once lived. That curfew is cabin fever to some and the fine is ridiculous! I could have used on other things but I learned my lesson, haha thank God the lockdown is starting Saturdays now. Good job Mr.Nez 👍
