Another attempt by Trump to lie his way out of being unable to actually act Presidential and help the country heal. How stupid is he?

He is consistent with his lies on the virus and Pence is just lost. As Meadows said they have given up.

"President Donald Trump claimed Monday that the worsening coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. is a “Fake News Media Conspiracy.”

Think about.....we have gone from a mortality rate of over 2% to around 0.4% or the same as the ordinary flu.  We know that the elderly and those with co-morbidities are most susceptible to the virus.  We now have effective treatment options that actually work.  We seem to be very close to having a vaccine or vaccines that will protect against the virus.  Fixating on the new cases now that we have entered a new cold and flu season is the work of the scientifically illiterate.  You are in good company.  Recall in 2008-2009 with the H1N1 we had 60 million cases.......today you are freaking out over 13% of that number.  And there have been over 133M tests done so far with a 7% positive rate.  

But what I don't get is that masks usage is more common today than ever before and yet we are still seeing a spike.  Same thing is happening in other countries with even more stringent mask requirements.....and their spikes are even worse than here in the U.S.  C'mon man!  By the way, there is a Danish study of over 6,000 people that is in peer review that found no correlation between mask usage and reduced infection rates.

Covid deaths has dropped from 3% to 1.4%, not from 2% to .4%.  The typical death rate for the annual flu is in the range of .03%  to .05%, not .4%. meaning the Covid rate is still 10 times the flu.  The H1N1 had a much higher (so far) infection rate than Covid but of the 60,000,000 who caught it less than 13,000 died, of the 9,000,000 with Covid so far 225,000 are dead.  Why do Trumpistas have so much difficulty in telling the truth?
