Not that you needed more proof of the malicious ignorance of Trump’s “99% harmless” assessment, but here’s more proof https://t.co/nnzujDPfs2

Trump lied in his July 4th address with the intention of misleading people about the coronavirus saying it's "harmless" in "99 percent of the cases." Reality: US has 2,811,447 cases of virus and 129,403 deaths, about 4.6 percent mortality.

Dr. Hahn threw away all credibility today. He had the opportunity to guide Americans & instead ignored science in order to not contradict a reckless claim made by the President. Americans will die because of behavior like this. @SteveFDA https://t.co/F7yKUUcl4P

Trump claimed 99% of Covid cases are "totally harmless." McEnany says he meant 99% of Americans who get the virus won't *die.*

Ridiculous, even if you grant the spin. We know that lots of survivors have severe immediate problems and sometimes prolonged problems.
Asked about Trump downplaying coronavirus after saying “99 percent” of covid cases are “totally harmless,” McEnany said: “The president isn’t downplaying the severity of the virus.”

McEnany confirms that Trump's claim that 99% of coronavirus infections are "totally harmless" is only about deaths — which does him far less good as an argument than he seems to think. https://t.co/MDg1l0mkvV

For the record: @PressSec is now saying when President Trump says 99 percent of COVID cases are "totally harmless" he means that in most cases you don't die.
