NYT/CNN/Author CONFIDENCE MAN: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America
Joined November 2009
Some 3,000 people died on 9/11. Don’t recall this logic being used.
“Approximately 7500 people die every day in the United States. That’s approximately 645,000 people so far this year. Coronavirus has killed about 1,000 Americans this year. Just a little perspective.” @RealCandaceO.

This isn’t true; and there are few things more dangerous than a president or top official saying something like this to a scared public. Most people still can’t get tests.
Just reported that the United States has done far more “testing” than any other nation, by far! In fact, over an eight day span, the United States now does more testing than what South Korea (which has been a very successful tester) does over an eight week span. Great job!.
