I believe Trump said the death rate was lower than what W.H.O. was saying...and there is this
"Trump is not quite the person I would call upon for insight into matters relating to virology. He does, of course, have a reputation for shooting from the hip, yet his reasoning on this is more sound than many of his critics would admit. Indeed, the WHO itself was at pains to stress that it’s 3.4 percent figure was not really an accurate mortality rate — it is simply the number of deaths divided by the number of confirmed cases. The problem is that while deaths from coronavirus are almost certain to be recorded, many mild cases of the disease will not have found their way into official figures. Some people, who suffer no more than the effects of a cold, may not even suspect they have the disease. Others may wonder whether they have it, but will self-isolate and not report their condition to a doctor."
"Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College was on the radio in Britain on Thursday making exactly this point. Referring to the outbreak in Italy he said: ‘for every person who dies we think there might be 100 or over 200 people infected.’ If he is right, that would give a death rate of one percent or less — exactly as Trump has claimed. Another guide is a Chinese report last week which claimed that the death rate from Covid-19 in Hubei province has been 2.9 percent, but outside Hubei province the death rate was only 0.4 percent. Again, you wonder how many of the early sufferers of the disease – who contracted it before it was identified as a novel virus — were aware of what they had contracted, which might explain why the measured death rate in Hubei Province, where the disease began, is so much higher."
once again, we see liberals appear to just be over reacting to Trump and the way he speaks, but you don't really examine what he is saying and if there are professionals who are saying similar things.
