Donald Trump Compares COVID-19 To The Seasonal Flu, Says It’s ‘Far Less Lethal’ In ‘Most Populations’ – By Aaron Homer (Inquisitr) / Oct 6 2020
Twitter attached a warning label to the tweet about spreading false information.
President Donald Trump compared the coronavirus pandemic to the seasonal flu on Tuesday morning, making the claim that COVID-19 is “far less lethal” in most populations.
Trump was released from Walter Reed Hospital on Monday, after having spent the previous days there receiving treatment for the respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus — the severity of which he has repeatedly and consistently attempted to downplay.
In a Tuesday morning tweet, Trump attempted to reassure Americans by comparing the seasonal flu to COVID-19.
“Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu. Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!,” he tweeted.
