After recovering from Covid 19, Donald Trump (74) continues where he left off: the president of the United States, Donald Trump, doubts the meaning of the masks in the fight against the spread of the coronavirus, with false statements. “Eighty-five percent of people who wear a mask get it,” Trump said Thursday at a campaign appearance in Greenville, North Carolina. He incorrectly referred to the data from the CDC health authority.
In fact, according to CDC research, 85 percent of a group of people infected with coronavirus said in July that they had worn a mask often or always in the previous 14 days. But: According to experts, cloth masks protect other people from infected oral and nasal protection users, not the user himself.
During Thursday’s election campaign, Trump and the vast majority of his supporters did not wear mouth and nose protection. “Masks, not masks, you can do whatever you want, but you still need the help of the boss,” said the president, pointing to the sky and obviously referring to God.
“Fauci is a Democrat, everyone knows it”
Trump referred to statements by prominent American health expert Anthony Fauci (79), who did not recommend wearing masks at the beginning of the pandemic. When Trump mentioned Fauci’s name, there were isolated boos. “But he’s a good guy, so I’ll keep him close,” Trump said. The Republican hinted to Fauci: “He’s a Democrat, everyone knows it.”
Fauci recently protested against being quoted in a Trump election video without his consent. The renowned immunologist has worked with both Democratic and Republican presidents.
The pandemic in the United States is reaching a critical point again
Meanwhile, the number of new coronavirus infections in the US rose to nearly 60,000 in one day, the highest level since early August. About 59,500 people tested positive Wednesday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. The number of deaths was relatively stable at 985.
According to the university, a total of 7.9 million infections have been recorded in the US since the start of the pandemic and about 217,000 people have died. Experts also assume a large number of unreported corona infections. About 330 million people live in the United States. (nim / SDA)
