'But if I don’t do a show like this, we’re not going to get the word out, because the press is really corrupt and dishonest,' Trump said during a Fox News townhall with host Sean Hannity.
President Trump on Thursday expressed frustration that many mainstream media reports ignore or downplay the fact that even though new coronavirus infections are rising in America and around the world, new coronavirus deaths are largely flat.
Data from Oxford University show that even though the confirmed daily reported COVID-19 cases have been ticking up in the United States in recent days, daily confirmed deaths have not risen.
Similar trends are seen worldwide, according to Oxford: Daily confirmed cases have been rising, but daily confirmed deaths have not.
"But if I don’t do a show like this, we’re not going to get the word out, because the press is really corrupt and dishonest," Trump said during a Fox News townhall with host Sean Hannity. "I can’t believe it. I used to say you know, ‘fake news, fake news.' It’s much worse than fake news. And it’s not only what they say, it’s what they don’t say."
Experts say the fact that new coronavirus deaths appear to remain flat is driven by more younger patients getting infected and recovering amid re-openings as the worst of the pandemic passes.
"Germany’s going to show fewer cases because they’re testing far fewer people, different size countries and all, but they’re testing far fewer people," Trump said. "But many countries don’t do testing like that. By doing that, in all fairness, it shows a very very low mortality rate, just about the lowest. So we’re right at the bottom, in a positive way. And I think that people are starting to see it."
Trump expressed frustration with the national media, saying it was biased against Republicans, who he urged to also push back against the national media.
"If I didn't take on the media, I guarantee I wouldn't be here tonight," "You couldn't win. The New York Times is so dishonest. The Washington Post is so dishonest ... I think they're the most dishonest people I've ever dealt with."
p
Watching CNBC “World” They are all atwitter over the “deay spike” in US cases.
The fact that cases are increasing faster than deaths indicates that COVID-19 has already taken care of most of the low-hanging fruit - at least to me it does.
I totally agree with you but can you imagine Trump using the phrase “low hanging fruit”? Especially when that “low hanging fruit” was picked off by the governors of NY., Pa. and NJ?
The number of deaths is going down. It's not "flat".
Just so I don’t sound too crass, I would qualify as “low hanging fruit”.
President Trump is of course correct.
Locally college athletes are resuming practice...all are being tested...and several are turning up positive. They have no symptoms and would not other have been tested.
Okay, maybe that was a poor choice of words. But I don’t think that the increase in cases we are seeing lately will bring a corresponding increase in deaths.
This is just my opinion, of course. Depending on whom you ask, I fall into a high-risk category. But I have a hunch I’ve probably already been exposed, and if I was, I didn’t develop anything in the way of symptoms. That said, I don’t get sick often - usually one bad cold during the winter (btw, the common cold is also caused by a coronavirus) - but I did not get sick at all this past winter.
That’s nothing.
Pedo Joe says a third of us are dead.

Desperation
They interviewed a month old case tonight
Notice how the number of tests performed are never stated.
Tell that Gov Abbott of Texas!
They, of course, also ignore the 1,000,000+ U.S. recoveries from the virus.
That means 120,000,000 new Democrat voters to be registered.
And CDC says there may be 10 times the reported cases - w/o mentioning that would mean 1/10 the problem/mortality rate...
