In a series of tweets, US President Donald Trump accused the media of deliberately sowing panic over the growing cases of infection with the new coronavirus, which he believes are the result of increased testing, DPA reported , cited by BTA.
“Cases (of infection) are growing because WE ARE TESTING, WE ARE TESTING, WE ARE TESTING. This is a media conspiracy with fake news,” read one tweet.
While it is true that the number of tests is growing, there is an increase in the number of hospitalized, which is a sign of an increase in the number of seriously ill patients, says DPA.
Over the weekend, more than 80,000 cases were reported a day, a record to date, and the average for a seven-day period remains at high levels not seen in several months.
“KOVID, KOVID, KOVID is being used by them (the media) in full coordination to change the numbers in early voting. This should be a violation of election law!” Trump wrote in another tweet.
In recent days, a new outbreak has broken out among White House officials, this time among Vice President Mike Pence’s team. Pence himself and his wife tested negative for Covid-19, Pence’s office said, cited by Reuters.
