US Surgeon General Refutes Trump’s Claim of ‘Exaggerated' COVID-19 Death Toll

US Surgeon General Refutes Trump’s Claim
of ‘Exaggerated' COVID-19 Death Toll.
On Sunday, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams
spoke out in contradiction of President Donald Trump. .
Trump recently took to Twitter to claim
that the CDC had “exaggerated” the number
of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S.
The number of cases and deaths of
the China Virus is far exaggerated in
the United States because of @CDCgov’s
ridiculous method of determination
compared to other countries ... ‘When in
doubt, call it Covid.’ Fake News!,
Donald Trump, via Twitter.
Dr. Adams said that “from a
public health perspective” he
had “no reason to doubt” the
CDC’s COVID-19 death toll. .
He went on to stress the “impact” COVID-19 is having on the country,
saying although the “finish line” is in sight, the fight isn’t over. .
It’s not just about the deaths … It's about the
hospitalizations, the capacity. These cases are
having an impact in an array of ways and people
need to understand there's a finish line in sight,
but we've got to keep running toward it, Dr. Jerome Adams, via CNN.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious
disease specialist, also pushed back against Trump’s claims,
saying “the deaths are real deaths.” .
Go into the trenches, go into
the hospitals, go into the intensive
care units and see what is happening.
Those are real numbers,
real people and real deaths,
Dr. Anthony Fauci, via ‘The Hill’
