1. omg, that's like a skit by the ONION

[Wounded Bear]

10. I was thinking maybe an SNL cold open...

but yeah.

2. And he is holding his child while coughing his head off :(

[Dennis Donovan]

3. "I gasped out loud when he gave her the water bottle" says Dr

31. Seriously. Coughing into his hands then grabbing the bottle from her...

sharing the same water bottle... coughing with her sitting on his lap... SO many issues. And, at a damn minimum, why is he coughing into his damn hands and not into a bent arm/sleeve?

4. I only cough when I'm nervous

Oh boy, we got a live one.

[magicarpet]

5. Dr. Pence who has three medical degrees approves this message.

[Thomas Hurt]

6. Its propaganda theater.

[Roland99]

7. And drinks his daughter's water and hands it back

Says the cough is from being nervous?

And Faux news idiots laugh it off, nervously

[uponit7771]

8. Was this guy quarantine because of the coronavirus?

[cbdo2007]

9. Coughing does not mean someone has coronavirus

[Crunchy Frog]

26. I think it probably does mean that you shouldn't be

Drinking out of someone else's water bottle and then giving it back to them.

[cbdo2007]

28. When you got kids, all bets are off...unless you got coronavirus...

and he doesn't so sharing is NBD.

[Crunchy Frog]

29. I've got kids and I've never done anything like that.

And those tests aren't always accurate, so he could have coronavirus.

[SWBTATTReg]

11. So maybe Faux News might go off the air being that all of its people are out sick w/ the CV?

If I had 3 wishes, this would be one of them!

[nolabear]

12. He says he's repeatedly tested clear. Don't ramp things up.

I get real concern but this is just OMGism and dies far more harm than good. He even chuckles over it himself in the video.

[Dennis Donovan]

13. No one is ramping things up.

[nolabear]

16. He was quarantined. Repeatedly found clear. This whole thread thinks otherwise.

If we’re going to disbelieve every medical result now automatically then we’re going to go batshit crazy. What should he do? Be quarantined for months? Go back into it every time he coughs? Have his interactions with his child policed? Just in case?

[Dennis Donovan]

17. It showed poor judgment on his part to do that on TV

"Hey! Look at me coughing and slobbering all over my child."

No matter how many times he was checked, he probably should've avoided being on TV.

[nolabear]

19. Okay. I don't get it but okay.

[2naSalit]

14. I wonder how this guy rates getting "repeatedlt tested"

When CDC isn't letting people get tested once? I smell buillshit just looking at the screen on this one.

[nolabear]

15. He was quarantined for it. They tested those quarantined.

C’mon...

[2naSalit]

18. Sorry...

I don't trust nor would I put anything past them at this point. They lie about everything, and this is on fuxnooz. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy was never quarantined in the first place. I don't trust anything oozing from that stink heap.

[nolabear]

20. K.

[2naSalit]

22. They do bring out the

worst in me in times like these.

[mshasta]

30. He's father-in-law died as result of the virus

He’s wife still back in China under quarantine ......
And still doesn’t learn how not to spread diseases ....yes is Ohmg moment...

[Recursion]

21. WHY IS HE SHARING A WATER BOTTLE WITH HIS KID

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!?!?!

[2naSalit]

23. And he's probably considered

someone with "smarts".

[Doreen]

24. Everytime he coughed he put the hand he coughed into in front of that child's face.

Then he drinks from the same water bottle.

You just don't do that despite what you may or may not have.

[Crunchy Frog]

25. OMFG! Drinking from his daughter's water bottle with that cough.

I feel very reassured.

27. When we were in Hong Kong during

SARS, that was one of the big no-no’s even if you didn’t have the virus. We were told that family/household members should not share towels, toothbrushes, drinks, anything like that.
