Trump Rips 'Fake News' For Focusing On COVID-19 'CASES, CASES, CASES' As Nation Breaks RecordThe president disputes facts about an alarming COVID-19 surge as a plot to sow fear ahead of the election. Americans are dying in larger numbers and trump is in denial about the truth. He has to go. Mainstream media wants to avoid looking at the broader picture. To only talk about cases when there is over 99% survival rate induces fear and panic. Put cases in context: of tests, of those with no symptoms or very mild case, heavy skew of elderly & co-morbid conditions.

It means both case numbers and deaths are huge lie. befreenow Trump is to blame!
