    Just 28% of Americans say they’re regularly getting information from Trump about the coronavirus and only 23% say they have high levels of trust in what the president is telling the public.

    At the time of writing, 52,180 Americans have died of coronavirus.

    At the very moment the least credible president occupies the WH.

    Sounds about right.

    Even Trump's Hard-Core supporters are abandoning him on this issue.

    Trusting Trump on the Virus Information is like trusting David Duke on Torah Information.

    So that leaves 72% not getting any reliable information or no information. The couple times I have been out I see people all over walking around in close quarters, not wearing masks and not sanitizing their hands. Just keep spreading the word that the government doesn't know what they are talking about or be one of the deviant ones and watch the death toll climb. Even in my own family, all the kids, have me and my wife quarantined but I have to keep them all at a distance because they come over to check wearing no masks or gloves.

    That's a difficult one.

    -The virus will disapear with the warm weather.
    - We have 15 cases and soon it will be close to zero.
    -The situation is perfecly under control.
    -Anyone who wants to be tested will be able to do so.
    -The US has done far more testing then any other nation, by far.
    -I think the 3.4% mortality is really a false number... Personally, I think the number is way under 1%
    -Very soon, we're going to come up [with a vaccine].
    -We've taken the most aggressive actions to confront the coronavirus. They are the most aggressive taken by any country.

    No, that leaves 72% finding a reliable source for information elsewhere.... it ain't that hard....

    Just know to avoid the "daily White House briefings" and your chances for survival increase exponentially...

    He was somewhat correct in the 3.4% mortality is not the right number... it's not actually a "false" number, but he's too dumb to use the correct word there...

    Currently 5.7% mortality rate, although I suspect that number will be heading downwards soon enough....

    Could actually come down to 3.4% in the very end... wouldn't that be ironic, not that tubby would notice...

    They are also known as the Flat Earth Society.

    Twice as many people believe in ghosts.

    Warm weather kills virus, that was true when he said it, it was at the time when the medical experts did not realize the high contagiousness of coronavirus, that's what he was told, it has, it is far under 3.4% - the latest data shows ~ 0.1%, vaccines take ~ 18 months - any less than that is sooner, that's true as well.

    Next.

    It's currently ~ 0.1%. And an incorrect number is a false number.

    If that were true, all the hospitals would have to do is turn up the heat to protect all the employees.

    For the rest, feel free to believe everything Trump says in his surrealist press briefings, but your life expectancy may suffer.

    I'm really through having mortality rate arguments with people who don't have the first clue what that is...

    Seems to include you

    Mortality rate is deaths divided by infections.
