Trump expresses his frustration with the increasing COVID-19 totals: ‘Cases, cases, cases!’

President TrumpDonald John Trump Trump responds to calls to tear down monuments with creation of Trump Statues’ National Garden ‘: Children are taught at school to’ hate their own country ‘Trump accuses those who knock down statues of wanting to’ overthrow the American Revolution ‘ He expressed frustration on Saturday with the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, as both the United States as a whole and many individual states have reported new records in recent days.

“Cases, Cases, Cases! If we did not try so much and with so much success, we would have very few cases, “the president tweeted. “If you evaluate 40,000,000 people, you’re going to have a lot of cases that, without the test (like other countries), wouldn’t appear every night in the fake Afternoon News.”

Trump said the media has an appetite for reporting more cases and that they don’t report that “Deaths and the significant mortality rate are reduced.”

…. In a way, our tremendous test success gives fake news outlets everything they want, CASES. Meanwhile, deaths and the significant mortality rate decrease. You don’t hear about it on the fake news, and you never will. Does anyone need fans?

Over the past month, coronavirus spikes have appeared in every state, including Arizona, Texas, and California, and this week, the US reported its highest total of new cases in a single day.

Administration officials have attributed the surges to increased testing, but health advocates have noted that positive test rates are also increasing.

At an indoor campaign rally in Oklahoma last month, Trump suggested the country should try less so that the number of cases does not increase, a statement his press secretary later said was a joke. Trump insisted both that he was being sarcastic and that he was not joking about the evidence.

Experts have linked the recent drop in mortality to several causes, such as the fact that more young people are being infected now than at the start of the pandemic, while warning that waves of deaths are likely to follow the waves of new infections. .
