US President Donald Trump is maintaining an optimistic tone on coronavirus despite another record number of cases, while Democratic rival Joe Biden has warned of tough times to come, just days out from the US election.

Supporters, socially distanced in their cars at the state fairground, honked their horns in agreement.

He has said he would introduce a mask mandate on federal property, committed to put pressure on governors to apply it in their states, and pledged to follow the advice of public health professionals on potentially strict safety rules.'Taking their life into their hands': America braces for armed protesters on election night

The record surge of cases is pushing hospitals to the brink of capacity, with the country recording its 9 millionth case on Friday, nearly 3 per cent of the population.

Doctors profit off sick people every day in the US.

It’s the most sickening lies. Disgraceful

Not doctors, those who administer health are the ones who are profiteering. Health is business. And when you can get more to claim a covid case or death then sure they will do it.

I blame Covid for profiteering off of human immune systems.

Its true, they get $2000 more if the patient has covid. Crazy and greedy.

Biden still in basement

Don't trust the experts I hired!🤣😂🤣

And the con goes on! Who you gonna believe, me or the facts? 🤣

Says the man who faked contracting Covid-19

The drs profit to much from ever sickness so yes he is right. They are overpaid on a normal day. Anyone can work 3 days a week and still make 6 figures is overpaid

America has the biggest Covid, the best Covid. Nobody else has Covid like America...

I think Trump and his cronies have profited. Medical staff have put their lives on the line and in some cases lost their lives because he was too useless to do anything!

I think you meant your friends in the Big Pharma.. hands off the frontline healthcare hero’s

Isn't that the point of not having 'socialised medicine'?

What a d&ck!!

WTH 'Trump attacked the US medical system, falsely saying: 'Our doctors get more money if someone dies from COVID' bias policy shows here? You report what he said and claim it is false. But CARES act ensures the payment he refers to. FakeNews Give my tax back

'Trump lies..' In other news, 'water is wet'

Death rates are flat. The harm the virus is causing is currently flat

He is a liar, a disgraceful and shameless liar.

Yeh Trump got it, and probably got the clap too ! Most despicable thieving cheating whoring low life and he is the president ! What a joke !

But you think that slippery former shop-steward normanswan now ABC expert 'Dr' isn't cleaning up right now?

What about you & your family,You are profiting! You set up the Presidency for yourself as a business venture!

BUt wHaT aBOuT hUnTEr BiDEns LaPtOp!

It's a fact, I heard that story months ago, hospitals get extra funding for ChinaVirus cases, but remember only about 9% of the death are attributed solely to ChinaVirus, do some research and enlighten you self LeftistABCStaff

Trump desired health care system is purely profit based. He supports the vested interests of health care profiteers. Universal health care is what evil socialists do, like the socialist republics of Australia and England. 😆

This dude has quite a few screws loose

CONGRADULATIONS realDonaldTrump .... You did it.... You have the best Covid... No one has more Covid then you. They said you were a Loser but look at you now. Winning, Winning and Winning again!

If there was ever a perpetrator of fake news and the spreading of to lies that lack any substantive evidence, Trump is the epitome of it. He’ll do anything to make himself look good.

Now isn’t that a ridiculous claim!

Once again, orange man is the only person high up in government who has the stones to say what we all know to be true.

Hmmm, I wonder if his children are profiting from him being in office?

Quite clearly, Trump is a moron.

No, not 'cases' but positive results.. to completely dodgy test kits. The US is doing the most testing, so they have the most positive results. Certain medical companies must be making an absolute killing$, eh?

Does he realise that if he wins he has to deal with this for another 4 years?

TRUMP THE IMBECILE IS QUITE DERANGED!

US health system is sick, pay or suffer or die?

A total nut job

How do doctors profit from the dead? I thought there was more money to be made from the living? Moron alert realDonaldTrump

The loonies are up and about

He’s getting more unhinged by the second End the chaos

Meanwhile, Joe Biden wants to cure the Chinese Virus with 'trunalimunumaprzure'

Cela early a case of projection.

That’s what Trump would do - anything for a buck - no ethics 😩.

blame the mayors the governors and the doctors He never mentioned his debacle in the covid response He told Woodward it was a deadly virus but he did nothing Always in denial

Trump is my hero :3

'Falsely accuses' is accurate, a statement of news fact that would've resulted from a basic check before publication, instead of just pumping it out like mindless automata. News Media can reform and not be PR for lying politicians any time they want. The public is waiting.

Is trump cosplaying as Hitman's Agent 47 there? I guess trump has an impressive body count now....

The only thing that should have happened was that he that he became one of the stats! Callous, heartless and a disgrace as a “President”

This statement is appalling. Worst POTUS ever.

'Maintaining an optimistic tone'. You're confusing optimism with complete denial of reality. He's telling his followers that they have nothing to fear from covid and that they are bringing it under control. Meanwhile 1000 deaths daily, 90000+ test positive daily. He's delusional.

All of my colleagues would give anything to STOP people from dying of COVID-19. And we do NOT get paid for writing death certificates. And even if we did, the money would NOT depend on the cause of death on the certificate.

And undertakers.

Ohhh good to see you’re reporting on what can happen when a pandemic is politicised, and public health becomes a partisan issue. Can we please stop doing it here?

So how much did the Team's CHARGE the Donald must be up there with a VET bill did he pay or will HE FORCE CHAINER to foot his covid bill

The guy is insane.

You profit from the Ants that walk over ya Pet Dogs deposits on ya lawn Trumpy

NewTechTwin baccio America

So what? Look at the new deaths... fk all.
