White House Defends Trump’s Claim That 99% Of Cases Are ‘Totally Harmless’

“We don’t fully appreciate the long-term consequences of having Covid, even mild and moderate forms of Covid that were never admitted to the hospital,” Dr. Thomas McGinn, the deputy physician in chief at Northwell Health and director of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research,.

There isn’t much research yet on the long-term effects on the immune system, but there are indications of impaired lung function, neurological problems and cognitive deficits."When you start to look at the stats and look at all the numbers we have, the amount of testing that we have, the vast majority of people are safe from this,” said Meadows, adding that most of the people who have died were high-risk because of age and other factors.

unfortunately when the iq of his supporters are not so... well... you know they'll believe him all the way to 6 feet under.

It’s the Trump Virus now, because of Trumps negligence thousands of Americans have died !!

JoshMalina Given that of the almost 3 million confirmed cases in the US about 4.5% of them have died, I guess some of the dead ones haven't been harmed at all.

Let’s all remember this man associated with Jeffrey Epstein

JoshMalina Note to Trumpettes: Not dying is not the same as totally harmless.

JoshMalina Where did trump go to medical school? Asking for a friend

So it’s ok if 1% are infected and die (3.25m)?

Defended the *correct” claim...

don-the-con trump is NOT: honorable, lawyer, religious, Republican, Patriot, brave, compassionate, minister, MD, x-military, CFA, historian, patriot, literate, CPA, diplomat, honest, TAX PAYER, chemist, trustworthy, farmer, FAITHFUL husband, law&order president, psychologist.

Its not far off, but when you are talking about multiple millions of cases 1% is HUGE number.

Idiots! idiotinthewhitehouse

Dr Trumpet overnight?

Well... 5% is dying soooo

POTUS again falsely claims 99% of virus is harmless. He shamefully endangering all Americans including children and young adults IvankaTrump is princess of death.

What an utter failure

The chances of dying are now officially at 0.4% however with the elderly being more susceptible, in other words, SURVIVING from this is 99.6%

Yep, Now when realDonaldTrump followers are drinking Clorox they will believe anything now

careless !

if survival rate is 98% and some change, then yes, the President is right. Fear mongering supermarket tabloid.

2.8 million confirmed cases and that number is rising daily.. 130 thousand innocent deaths as a result of COVID 19... All this current WH does is to defend a claim by the Donald? Huh

Coronavirus now has the same mortality rate as the flu (.0.4%)

The whole world knows the White House is the house of LIES. That's why they don't have any credibility.

Trump go ahead and say that to the 130,000 families affected by their losses of someone they loved.... TrumpKillsUS

realDonaldTrump You are cruel my president I don't wanna lie and I will never be free as long as you in power you've assured me of that.

40,000,0000 - 40 Million tested

Melania will definitely celebrate Ivana Kupala in that dress! 🙂

if harmless means not deadly , yes of course they are right as the rate is under 1%. this is the statistic the media don't like as it compare the cases (high as america test like no any other big country) and the death who are high in numbers but much less than France or Italy.

My IDEA: Let’s try it out on TRUMP!!!! and see how it goes with HIM!!!

Chloroquine ,Azithromycin and Dexamethasone is the only cheap answer to save the Lives from Corona. People you can save life with this only or Die of Corona Virus. All other is Politics Please don't get fooled by anyone. I know many people will disagree

this man just can NOT figure out math

So then Trump should have no problem signing an executive order that COVID-19 cannot be considered a pre-existing condition by insurance companies

Not a mask in sight😷

I held a girl's hand once and her face looked like that. She ghosted me the next day.

So does worldometer

THE WHITE HOUSE = TRUMP 🤦🏽‍♀️

He's a physician now?

Of course they did! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤮🤮

no kidding thats the truth

True....

Coronavirus Assumed White House Would Be Bigger In PersonWASHINGTON—Underwhelmed by the cramped bathrooms and overly crowded seating areas, sources close to the coronavirus confirmed Tuesday that it had always assumed the White House would be bigger in person. “When you think White House, you think of this grand place where the most powerful person in the world lives, but it’s actually kind of small and rinky dink,” said Auto Terra Filinia XFC, a strain of Covid-19, who revealed that touring the entire residential area of the White House and the West Wing took it less than an hour. “It’s just kind of underwhelming, I guess. I expected to feel all this majesty at the power of the American government, but it’s mostly just old. Even the security is lax, I was able to sneak into the East Room and even the Lincoln bedroom no problem.” The coronavirus did add that despite its disappointment with the building, the staff’s warmth and lack of social distancing had made it feel right at home. W Corona needs to reexamine its absolutely RIDICULOUS standards.
