Now only do we have a rampant virus, but we have an inept, incompetent, fact-denying, science-ignorant Administration:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is not difficult: The more you test, the more cases you find. We have about 330 million people in the U.S.<\/p>\n

75,000 testing kits will cover just O.02% of them.<\/p>\n

But there’s no urgency; Just lots of fantasies:<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump on Wednesday night spun a web of theories minimizing the coronavirus’ threat to Americans, accusing the World Health Organization of dispensing inaccurate facts about the outbreak and suggesting that those with the disease could be safe going to work.<\/p>\n

During expansive\u00a0remarks<\/a>\u00a0on Fox News host Sean Hannity’s program, the president continued to break with public health officials’ more dire messaging regarding the international crisis and forcefully contradicted the WHO, which earlier in the week\u00a0pegged<\/a>\u00a0the global mortality rate for the coronavirus at 3.4 percent.<\/p>\n

Because a lot people will have this and it’s very mild. They’ll get better very rapidly. They don’t even see a doctor. They don’t even call a doctor,” Trump said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
