CNN- Trump baselessly claims 99% of coronavirus cases "are totally harmless"

US President Donald Trump claimed without evidence on Saturday that 99% of coronavirus cases "are totally harmless" during remarks on the White House South Lawn, in which he sought to downplay the recent surge of Covid-19 cases.

 

“Now we have tested, almost 40 million people. By so doing, we show cases 99% of which are totally harmless results that no other country can show because no other country has testing that we have. Not in terms of the numbers, or in terms of the quality,” he said, once again also falsely claiming that rising cases are caused by increased testing.

There have been more than 2.8 million cases of coronavirus in the United States and at least 129,000 people in the United States have died, according to Johns Hopkins University’s latest tally.

 

Some people who become ill have only mild symptoms, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 35% of cases are asymptomatic, but even people with mild or no symptoms can spread the virus to others.

 

While the World Health Organization has said the global fatality rate is like less than 1%, the WHO also said about 20% of all people who are diagnosed with Cornoavirus aresick enough to need oxygen or hospital care.

 

The White House has not returned a message seeking comment.

As US sets records in coronavirus cases, Trump says "we've made a lot of progress"

From CNN's Kevin Bohn and Daniella Mora

As many states continue to see spikes in the number of coronavirus cases, US President Donald Trump touted the progress the country has made combatting the virus.

 

“There and then we got hit by the virus that came from China. And we've made a lot of progress our strategy is moving along well. It goes out in one area, it rears back its ugly face in another area. But we've learned a lot. We've learned how to put out the flame,” Trump told a crowd of supporters gathered on the White House’s South Lawn to celebrate July 4.

He said the nation has now made “tens of thousands” of ventilators and have now started distributing them overseas.

 

On testing, pointed out the country has now almost 40 million people. However, experts have said more tests are needed to get a full picture of the virus.

 

“Results that no other country can show because no other country has testing that we have. Not in terms of the numbers or in terms of the quality," Trump said.

“We have the most and finest testing anywhere in the world, and we are producing gowns and masks and surgical equipment in our country.”

Trump has recently complained about how many tests are being conducted in the nation because he has claimed that is the reason for the larger amount of cases – a contention disputed by health experts. He recently said the country should do less testing. While administration officials contended Trump was joking, he later said he doesn’t joke.

WHO makes clarification on HCQ

 

“For each of the drugs, the interim results do not provide solid evidence of increased mortality,” WHO said, but there were “some associated safety signals" that will be reported in the peer-reviewed publication of the findings.

This decision applies only to the trial in hospitalized patients, and does not affect studies of prevention or treatments in non-hospitalized patients.

CNN reports that masks can cause permanent facial scarring, disfigurement and still highly encourages them.

CNN)If you're serious about protecting yourself — and others — from the very real dangers of Covid-19, you're wearing a mask when you go out around others.

 

For many people that is leading to an embarrassing and unpleasant side effect: blemishes, pimples, zits — or what dermatologists call acne.

"I have patients calling in despair saying 'What is going on? I've never had a breakout before and now my face looks like a teenager's!'" said board-certified dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe, clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center.

"We're seeing lots of flares of acne, especially a type called perioral dermatitis, which tends to happen typically around the mouth and in the areas around the nose," said board-certified Dr. Seemal Desai, an assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

Breakouts that occur after wearing a maskhave become so common that mask acne's been dubbed "maskne" on social media.

"We think that wearing these masks, combined with stress from the pandemic, is causing an increased moisture-rich environment for bacteria and organisms to proliferate," Desai said, "causing a breakdown of the skin and flaring of some of these conditions."

Nurses and other health care professionals on the front line of the battle against Covid-19 are hardest hit, Desai said, due to the seal needed from personal protective equipment in order to keep the virus at bay.

"I'm seeing lots more skin disease in health care workers because they're wearing PPE and N95 respirator masks that are causing ulcers, breakdown and bleeding of the skin,"said Desai, who is a spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatologists.

Compared to the bruised and bleeding faces of doctors and nurses, a few pimples may seem inconsequential. But it's an important issue that shouldn't be trivialized, said Bowe, also a spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatologists.

"Acne is significantly associated with self esteem, even if it's just one or two pimples," she explained. "Even having mild, minimal acne can have profound effects on interpersonal relationships, how we socialize, job performance, depression and anxiety."
