Trump returns to misleadingly comparing COVID-19 to the flu: 'We have learned to live with it'

President Trump on Tuesday continued to downplay the threat of the coronavirus after his release from the hospital while still under treatment for COVID-19, asserting that the virus that has killed more than 210,000 Americans is “far less lethal” than the seasonal flu “in most populations.”

And comparative fatality figures don’t tell the whole story. There is increasing evidence that some number of coronavirus survivors have symptoms including fatigue, cough and cognitive problems that last for months, and organ damage that may be permanent. Those complications generally do not arise in people who recover from the flu.

Story continuesAs of Tuesday morning, at least 210,195 people in the U.S. have died from complications related to COVID-19, none of whom received near the same level of medical care that the president received at Walter Reed.

So, new campaign song: 'Don't Fear The Reaper'?

He's comparing it to the flu. We'll learn to live with it. In typical GOP republican fashion.

Yahoo doing its typical misleading headlines . COVID is like the flu for most !

You know where he should stick those thumbs, and it ain't in a women's Pu^!

'He sometimes uses stimulants and sedatives in excess of the recommendations of his physicians, and this has probably accentuated his mood swings. On several occasions he has been described as unable to concentrate, inattentive and fatigued.' No not 45, Brezhnev.

What we don't have to learn to live with is four more years of this shit. VOTE BidenHarrisLandslide2020

It’s obvious the President doesn’t look well but his greatest strength, is also his weakness

realDonaldTrump You had the best doctors. You had the best treatment. Everyone else DOES NOT. VoteHimOut

President Trump. He is not misleading anyone about the ChinaVirus. yahoonews is VeryFakeNews! Over 97% survival rate for a man made virus. Please stop pimping fear and doom and gloom YahooNews! COVID19 WuhanVirus KAG Trump2020 yahoo 1A

He’s right . The death rate is the same as the flu according to the CDC . The liar left want agenda 2030 and the great reset at the UN and world economic forum need a crisis to implement their plan . They want to bring communism to the world use common sense , wash your hands .

Someone mad at Yahoo, we also learned to live with hurricanes & tornadoes. POTUS doing great job.

guy is an amalgamation of every bad trait we have.

This Silly 🤡! He didn't learn nothing at Walter Reed Hospital!

What a fool. “Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!” realDonaldTrump takes the most ridiculous pictures. So childish. NarcissistInChief

Yah, I’d rather social distance and wear a mask, thanks

Impeached, Infected, and Inconsequential

What a clown 🤡

I am from Azerbaijan and 20% of my country is occupied by armenia. For almost 30 years armenia holds Karabakh. Nearly a million Azerbaijani refugees were forcibly displaced out of their homes in Karabakh! End Armenia’s occupation of Karabakh, Azerbaijan!!! DontBelieveArmenia

At this point I don't think either candidate will change anybody's mind. People have all ready decided who they will vote for.

COVID-19 has been much deadlier than the flu. The worst flu season in the last 10 years was 2017-2018, when an estimated 61,000 Americans died. In 2018-2019, there were 34,000 U.S. deaths attributed to influenza. In 2019-2020, there were 22,000.
