Just hours after US President Donald Trump claimed his country was "rounding the corner" on COVID-19 during the final presidential debate, new figures have emerged contradicting the US leader's rosy view of pandemic.At 76,195 cases, it's fast approaching the previous record of 77,299 casesThe number of new COVID-19 cases reported in the US on Thursday was the second highest on record, coming in just short of a midsummer peak, according to a Reuters analysis.
With 76,195 new cases on Thursday, the news agency said the United States was approaching its one-day record high of 77,299 new cases on July 16. The New York Times also reported the country had seen its second highest number of new cases in a single day on record, citing the newspaper's own database.WatchAs it has during every debate, there were big differences on the state of the pandemic.
Cases, hospitalisations and deaths are all accelerating as cooler weather descends on much of the country, according to the Reuters figures.Asked about his handling of the pandemic as part of the presidential debate earlier on Thursday, Mr Trump predicted a reversal to the crisis that has killed more than 223,000 people in the US.
What, he's told a lie? No wayyyyy
Increased testing to 1m a day. Prevalence way, way down, as are deaths/hosp'ns. PCR tests detect trace virus in recovered ppl & fragments that aren't clinical infections. Studies say it's effectively a false +ve rate of 90% bc of this. Don't like trump but he's correct on this.
nick_pope 🙄
The virus is attenuating, but it was never a serious threat to the great majority of people. On the other hand, he response of the politicians has been disastrous.
If only Donald Trump was going away 💩
ABC come 3rd NOVEMBER than say something .. lefties running our ABC and Education that's why we are screwed
When in doubt just lie, lie, lie and Trumparrots will believe it.

Trump's brain when faced with facts & truth.
'Covid-19 says Trump is going away'
Pfft of course Covid is mutating into irrelevance and disappearing, as these things always do. Where is your coverage of the Biden recordings and emails? It's impossible to deny their authenticity, now.
stuff the numbers believed what he say after all he knows better then YOU
I'd be happy for you fuckers to be in a permanent lockdown and forced to wear masks all your life.
think realdonladtrmup twisted logic is when enough American people are dead from COVID-19 there won't be many people to get and die from it so the virus will be going away... by 2050 🤣
Seriously this guy is delusional
The study ........................ finds that mortality has dropped among hospitalized patients by 18 percentage points since the pandemic began. Patients in the study had a 25.6% chance of dying at the start of the pandemic; they now have a 7.6% chance.
Telling lies.Covid hit whole over world.

It has to be replaced by renewable energy over time,” the Democratic presidential nominee said.\n\nMr Murray Mr Biden's statement was “one hell of a TKO” and in states like Pennsylvania it will be the “tipping point” that will usher in a narrow Trump victory on November 3rd.\n\n“America takes great pride in not being dependent on foreign oil,” Mr Murray said.\n\n“Energy independence is something that Bush ran on a promise and Trump delivered in reality.”\n JoeBiden More jobs for America if the close-down fossil fuel industry than if they don't.
