Donald Trump has claimed 99% of coronavirus cases are"totally harmless" after a surge of infections in the US.
In a speech at the White House on America's Independence Day, the US president insisted his strategy to tackleHe had earlier branded the a"terrible plague from China" and warned Beijing"must be held accountable" for its spread around the world.said the US has now tested almost 40 million people for coronavirus, and added:"By so doing, we show cases - 99% of which are totally harmless.
"Results that no other country can show because no country has testing that we have, not in terms of the numbers or in terms of the quality."Mr Trump said the US is producing gowns, masks and surgical equipment which used to be"almost exclusively made in foreign lands, in particular China where ironically this virus and others came from".
"China's secrecy, deceptions and cover-up allowed it to spread all over the world - 189 countries," he added.
Nothing about Russia. Telling!!
Does he know what 99% actually means?
1. Blames China for a pandemic 2. Says it's only 1% harmful Erm...
Is he not wrong? Facts are facts.
Idiot!
The list is endless for what he should be held accountable for, bloody orange hypocrite
He can't have it both ways. If it is so harmless why does he wan to hold China to account ? 🙄
That’s wrong if you calculate the death rate is 4.6%, much higher than a few months ago when it teetered between 1-2%. god help us. Biden2020
KassandraKitson Hoping this means we are moving out of this mess.
So the deaths of 132,000 Americans make it harmless, right so.
If it’s harmless then what have China done wrong? Not that it is harmless and not that it is their fault. But you can’t blame someone for causing a problem then say there is no problem. That’s contradictory horse shit.
What does he actually intend to do, if ( and it’s a big IF) he follows through on his words ( not that he has form here)?
Reading the teleprompter for trump is as easy for him as it is to be tell the truth.
Coming from the guy who spends more time playing golf than doing his job.
So by his thinking if you have the virus you could do as u please ?
I wonder what he will say if China win the race to produce a vaccine? Trump is a narcissistic idiot who should be sectioned immediately, his failings have put American lives at risk...
Wow that's a bold statement, anything in it? devisridhar
He is probably right, but its the 1% that's causing all the problems that lock down is trying to avoid. You've lost respect of the world trump and now you're losing your country.
Thank God for Dr Trump PhD.
He’s right ! The virus is just used as a smokescreen to usher in the NWO .... Distract- Divide - Destroy !! Here is a video that shows The Deep State almost took over the USA before ! Futureprovespast
He is right
It's a pretty sad state of affairs that this guy is still in power and not in jail. It's like real life house of cards, and even then Frank Underwood would be a much better choice.
You just can’t fix stupid!
99% or 98% depending how old you are, but basically yeah
Couldn't care less what he claims. What I do care about is you finding out if his claims are fact or fiction before running the story
Why are you even reporting anything he says. The man is a lunatic.
I agree with the Great American President.He deserves a second term realDonaldTrump
FACT CHECK =TRUE
He's right.
What does this even mean? He must be held accountable. In his position, you just cannot spew nonsense and not be accountable.
🙄😳😳
As a paramedic I can assure that 1% is running us to death and clogging the hospitals.

How many times did you put out negative news about Obama and how much against Trump? It will show your bias!
and you know what? He's right!
BovarysComplnt Dude can't understand that is not the 1% club we want to be a member of.
The number is even higher than that.
🤯 wtf his he saying ?
By talking like that, this idiot is killing Americans by saying there is nothing to worry about.. very obvious the over 120,000 dead and millions with the disease dousn't enter his mind.
Idiot.
Not really a great brag taking into consideration of death toll. If that is just 1% TrumpFlu is even worse than registered data.
Dick
If your not elderly or have underlying health problem, the chances of dying of Covid 19 are pretty slim.
Really Trump. Taking pills in secret
Yo...
Yeah. 99.96% SURVIVAL RATE!!
TeresaTeredo Well Donnie boy it’s time to lead by example. Give the virus to yourself. Then we’ll see how harmless it is. I think there are 130 thousand families that think you’re full of crap.
In terms of those with fatal or severe cases it's probably 99.9% given the size of the US and smalll number of deaths.
US population is approx 330 million, so that's 3 million people with harmful cases. Even if this 99% figure was true, that's still around the entire population of Bosnia suffering.
He's right, you know. Death rates are falling.
where does he get his information from..he doesn´t read his briefings...!!!
132,961 are dead. 132,961 X 100 = 13,296,100 Cases Math isn’t a strength of his. History isn’t a strength of his. Science isn’t a strength of his. What are his strengths?
Well that’s a relief. Back to normal everyone
100 percent right...Dem Governor’s (NY-NJ-CT-PA) made the fatal mistake of denying elderly patients hospital and placing them back into their nursing home to infect other elderly residents...that is 45 percent of the fatalities...young people are getting it now and are fine..
To think, the person on the right has, at some stage, put the person on the left in her mouth. Just let that sink in for a second.
The man needs help. So does Boris Johnson.
So why blame China?
He would be correct...
He has a point. We are counting everyone who has tested positive for coronavirus and dies as a Covid19 related death but whilst they all tested positive for the virus, they haven’t all been killed by it, not by a long way.
