* - Numbers are a lower bound. True numbers are being suppressed by the Trump administration
Trump is Lucy, and his supporters are Charlie Brown. The day after Bob Woodward released tapes proving that Trump has been lying about the severity of #COVID19 for months, Trump claimed that the U.S. has "rounded the final turn" in the fight against the pandemic. And surely, Trump is telling the truth THIS time, right?
Not according to someone with actual credibility:
Leading infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci on Friday disagreed with President Donald Trump’s claim at a news conference just a day before that the country is victoriously winding down in its battle with coronavirus.“We have rounded the final turn,” Trump told reporters on Thursday as he fended off questions about revelations that he had intentionally misled the American public about the deadliness of the coronavirus in Bob Woodward’s forthcoming book, “Rage.”President Trump made the remarks hours after Fauci urged Americans to “hunker down and get through this fall and winter, because it’s not going to be easy.”Fauci pushed back on Friday afternoon telling MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell in an interview that contrary to Trump’s insistence that outbreaks are subsiding, the real-time statistics are “disturbing.”“We’re plateauing at around 40,000 cases a day,” Fauci said bluntly, adding that he had hopes that a surge in cases wouldn’t trail the Labor Day weekend as it did following July 4th.
So. Tired. Of. This. Clown.
