发帖数: 1 | 1 President Trump was speaking at a rally in Ohio on Monday evening when he
said the coronavirus "affects virtually nobody." On Tuesday, the U.S.
reached the grim milestone of 200,000 COVID-19 deaths. The United States has
for many months had the highest number of infections and deaths in the
world, with more than 6.8 million confirmed cases as of Tuesday, according
to Johns Hopkins University data.
When he made the false claim about coronavirus, Mr. Trump was addressing a
crowd at Toledo Express Airport in Swanton, Ohio — one of two campaign
stops that day in the battleground state. The president criticized how he
thinks Joe Biden would handle the pandemic and impending vaccine if he were
to be elected president, claiming Biden would "shut down the country" again.
At the beginning of the pandemic, many states and cities did go into
lockdowns to help slow the spread of the virus. Some like New York were able
to "flatten the curve," but others resisted imposing safety measures like
mask-wearing and quickly reopened even as cases kept spreading. |
