After a phase of relaxation – the numbers skyrocket again. Corona infections are at a record high in the United States. But the pandemic has apparently ended for the president, so less testing should be done.
Donald Trump, U.S. President June 26, 2020
“If we didn’t test, we wouldn’t have any cases. We have cases because we are testing. The death toll is falling. We have one of the lowest mortality rates.”
The country recorded around 40,000 new infections reported on the same day – the highest daily value since the pandemic began. What was her name?
Donald Trump, U.S. President June 26, 2020
“I could name 19 or 20 names for it. Wuhan – it was pretty good. Coronavirus. Kung Flu!”
A look back at “Kung Flu” – and how the US President has mastered it so far – at least verbally:
Donald Trump, US-Präsident February 10, 2020
“Many believe the heat will make the virus go away in April. Usually it will go away in April.”
Donald Trump, U.S. President February 27, 2020
“It’s like a miracle, it will just go away at some point.”
And by the way: “Kung Flu” is Chinese evil, but actually also an invention of the Democrats in the election campaign.
Donald Trump, US-Präsident February 28, 2020
“They tried the impeachment dizziness. The virus is her new dizziness. I recently found out about a number that nobody had known before. she shocked me. 35,000 people die from the flu. ..up to 100,000 people die of it. So far, not a single person has died from the corona virus in the United States. “
Donald Trump, U.S. President February 29, 2020
“At this time, we have 22 patients in the United States with coronavirus. Unfortunately, one died in the night. “
Until March 1, there was exactly one reported infection case in New York. According to a recent study
however, 10,000 people in the city were already infected with the virus at this time. After all, the President is interested.
Donald Trump, U.S. President March 6, 2020
“I like these topics. All the doctors ask – why are they so familiar with it? maybe I’m a natural. maybe I should have done that instead of running for the presidency. “
On March 13, the self-proclaimed virologist declared a national emergency, two days after the World Health Organization classified Covid-19 as a pandemic. A few days later, Trump amazed with this statement:
Donald Trump, U.S. President March 17, 2020
“I already had the feeling that it was a pandemic before you called it a pandemic. You just had to see other countries.”
On March 23: There are 43,845 confirmed cases of infection, the number of deaths will exceed the 1000 mark on the following day.
Donald Trump, U.S. President March 23, 2020
“I am proud to be its president, I can say that. We are hopeful when we look to the future. We’re starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. “
Early April: The number of confirmed infections in the United States has exceeded the 200,000 mark. The death toll rose to almost 7,000.
Donald Trump, US-Präsident 01. April 2020
“America continues to wage a total war to defeat the virus – this terrible virus. You can see how terrible it is when you look at yesterday’s numbers.”
What really mattered to President Trump in the midst of the pandemic quickly became clear:
Donald Trump, US-Präsident 8. April 2020
“It would be nice to open with a big bang.”
On April 17, Trump announced a easing plan for the governors to decide independently. 37,621 people have died so far.
Less than six weeks later, after a long radio silence, a tweet:
-
May 2020
“We have just reached a very sad milestone in the corona pandemic death toll: 100,000 deaths.”
The President expresses his condolences to families and relatives. God be with them.
Shortly thereafter, other things take priority:
Donald Trump, U.S. President June 6, 2020
“We will have a phenomenal next year. We will have great months before the November 3 elections. A very important date, a very important election.”
An election campaign mass event is due to take place in Oklahoma – concerns: zero. Almost 28,000 new infections were reported on this day:
-
June 2020
Reporter: “The number of cases is increasing in 22 states, including Oklahoma, where they are planning a big event. Aren’t you worried that people will get infected?”
Donald Trump: “No, because if you look, the numbers are very tiny compared to what was before. It is dying out.”
On the day of the campaign event, the President pronounces something like an obituary for the pandemic:
Donald Trump, U.S. President June 20, 2929
“It was an interesting time, it was terrible, so many lives have been lost, we will never forget these incredible people. But they will not have died for nothing. Our country will go on and we will be stronger than ever”
No matter what the statistics show, the president again and again calls for a quick turn.
Donald Trump, US-Präsident 23. June 2020
“I think we will have great solutions soon. You will have a big surprise, a nice surprise – faster than you think.”
Meanwhile, the number of infections reported in the United States increases to more than 2.4 million. Experts estimate the number of unreported cases to be ten times higher.
