WASHINGTON — After months of mass death and sickness, what could possibly count as a success story against the pandemic?
The White House and federal public health authorities have often pointed to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington as a source for their pandemic projections. The institute now forecasts more than 378,000 U.S. deaths from COVID-19 by Jan. 1. Now he's trying to move the goal posts and have the public consider anything under 240,000 deaths a success.TRUMP: “We’ll have manufactured at least 100 million vaccine doses before the end of the year.” — news conference Friday.THE FACTS: Don’t count on this.
Trump is pushing hard to have a vaccine announced before the election or at least to convince people that such an outcome is possible. But federal health officials and scientists have signaled or outright stated that that is unlikely.BIDEN VIDEO: “Trump in public: ‘Hoax.’ Trump in private: ‘Killer.’” — video tweeted by Biden on Tuesday.
“Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus,” he said. “You know that, right? Coronavirus. They’re politicizing it.” He meandered briefly to the subject of the messy Democratic primary in Iowa, then the Russia investigation before returning to the pandemic. “They tried the impeachment hoax. ... And this is their new hoax.”
The video’s reference to “Trump in private” calling the virus a “killer” comes from the president’s interview in April with author and journalist Bob Woodward, whose new book “Rage” contains Trump’s acknowledgment that he was playing down the virus threat in public, so as to avoid panic. THE FACTS: Trump is overstating the potential for “mayhem” and fraud in “big unsolicited ballot states.”
THE FACTS: It’s highly unlikely that any chaos in states with universal mail-in voting will cause the election result to “never be accurately determined.” Far easier and cheaper would be a social media campaign seeking to discourage certain groups of people from voting, which is something the FBI has warned about. Or a cyberattack on voter registration data that would eliminate certain voters from the rolls. That could cause havoc at polling places or election offices as officials attempt to count ballots from people who are “missing” from their voter databases.
Yahoo Stop the lies
Hahaha. Yep, it's campaign time.
He “expected “ COVID 19 to be gone by Easter.
You’re right, he didn’t specify enough. Every US American is what he meant.
Is Yahoo and Left Wing Outlets saying that because its not approved by not the doctor Bill Gates?
But you will be in jail
You have totally confused the American public now the death toll stands at more than 200,000 and you are the world leader. One wonders what would be the death toll by April 2021! Anyway by then you won't be in the White House, for sure.
If Trump is still in office I'm not taking it.
Think Trump means April 2022. Maybe but no guarantee.
if you do Biden math, 120 million lost to the virus and 150 million lost to gun violence, people who had never died before... Then our president's calculations seem credible. Joebiden realDonaldTrump VoteGold JoJorgensen2020 therapist NOT TheRapist
He means April 2022
Any thinking person would not count on anything trump says. It is either stupidity or lies.
This kind of wishful thinking is going to be a problem for the President and he could elected out of office and face numerous of criminal charges and its enough to plug up the Potomac.
Haha. Yahoo news working overtime to help Biden. So pathetic 🤦🏽
Once again Yahoo acting as an arm of the DNC putting out propaganda instead of just the facts only the facts and reporting unbiased
I expect s*** to keep hitting the fan for the interim.
