From "it's just a Democrat hoax" to 350k dead are "fake news", we have now come full circle. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-said-cdc-covid-tracker-fake-news-and-exaggerates-cases-2021-1 President Donald Trump on Sunday said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — led by people he appointed himself — tracks coronavirus case and death rates inaccurately. The number of US cases and deaths "is far exaggerated," he said in a tweet Sunday, a claim that Dr. Anthony Fauci and other experts have disputed. It's far likelier that the CDC underexaggerates cases. Experts for months have said case and death toll rates are actually much higher than known.
Fauci to Trump after he tweeted the CDC exaggerates the number of COVID-19 cases: 'The deaths are real' https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-said-cdc-covid-tracker-fake-news-and-exaggerates-cases-2021-1 President Donald Trump on Sunday said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — led by people he appointed himself — tracks coronavirus case and death rates inaccurately. The number of US cases and deaths "is far exaggerated," he said in a tweet Sunday, a claim that Dr. Anthony Fauci and other experts have disputed. It's far likelier that the CDC underexaggerates cases. Experts for months have said case and death toll rates are actually much higher than known. Trump's remarks come just as the number of COVID-19 deaths in the United States surpassed 350,000, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. President Donald Trump on Sunday railed against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, saying the agency exaggerates the number of confirmed coronavirus cases and deaths. The CDC is run by people he appointed himself. The agency has been updating new cases and death counts daily for months. "The number of cases and deaths of the China Virus is far exaggerated in the United States because of @CDCgov's ridiculous method of determination compared to other countries, many of whom report, purposely, very inaccurately and low," Trump tweeted. "'When in doubt, call it Covid.' Fake News!" Importantly, the CDC and other COVID-19 trackers are only able to identify the number of known coronavirus cases and deaths. Experts for months have suggested that the case and death toll rates are actually much higher than known, since some cases might not be reported. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's leading infectious diseases specialist and a core member of the White House coronavirus task force, disputed Trump's remarks on Sunday. Speaking on ABC News' "This Week," Fauci said the deaths "are real" and objected to Trump's tweet. "All you need to do is go out into the trenches," he said. "Go to the hospitals and see what the healthcare workers are dealing with. They are under very stressful situations in many areas of the country. The hospital beds are stretched, people are running out of beds, running out of trained personnel who are exhausted." "That's real," Fauci continued. "That's not fake. That's real."
Only about 6% of are these deaths can be attributed to only the Covid-19 virus. So maybe about 21K? are actually from Covid. This amount is normal for a new virus on the scene. So quit being so paranoid about it. You snowflakes are amazing.
Like they actually care. They don't care about dead people. Everyone knows these people only care about themselves. Noone is buying their BS.
Trump's a moron. There is no basis for making such a statement. Canada is very accurate on their reporting all we care about is controlling the virus. Covid has no political aspect at all here. The level of delusion Trump operates on is if the charts.
Like everything else surrounding this virus it's likely the numbers are inaccurate, as is all the news and info, good or bad. The government has zero credibility. They didn't have much to begin with and have blown what they did have when they decided what "truths" we the people could deal with on a timeline that they decide to divulge more details via their media minions.
Trump is correct. WuFlu cases and deaths are grossly exaggerated especially now that we are in winter annual flu season. 92 percent of flu cases and flu deaths are being reported as Kung Flu. We've been in herd immunity on this strain of Kung Flu for a couple of weeks now.
