Trump in total fantasyland- Long Verbatim Quote from Fox/Hannity spiel - SteveG - 03-05-2020
It's just his hunch, but people are saying maybe those so-called Doctor Experts are wrong. A dangerous failed presidency.
I think the 3.4 percent [number] is really a false number. Now, this is just my hunch, but based on and lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this, because a lot of people will have this and it is very mild. They will get better very rapidly, they don’t even see a doctor or call doctor, you never hear about those people so you can’t put them down in the category, in overall population in terms of this corona flu, or virus. So you just can’t do that.
So if, you know, we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better and then, when you do have a death like you had in the state of Washington, like you had one in California, I believe you had one in New York, you know, all of a sudden it seems like 3 or 4 percent, which is a very high number, as opposed to a fraction of 1 percent.
But again, they don’t know about the easy cases because the easy cases don’t go to the hospital, they don’t report to doctors or the hospital in many cases so I think that
Now, with the regular flu, we average from 27,000 to 77,000 deaths a year. Who would think that? I never knew that until six or eight weeks ago, I asked that question, I said, ‘How many people die of the flu?’ You know, you keep hearing about ‘flu shot, flu shot, take your flu shot,’ but how many people die of the flu? And they said, ‘sir, we lose between 27,000 and, you know, somewhere in the 70s’ — I think we went as high as 100,000 people died in 1990, if you can believe that, but a lot much people regardless. I think it averages about 36,000 people a year. So I said, ‘Wow, that is a percentage that is under 1 percent, very substantially.’ So it’d be interesting to see what difference is but again, a lot of people don’t report.

that's the corona flu for those who missed it.

He needs to stop talking about this. However he's echoing what experts are saying about the fatality rate of coronavirus, it is most likely inflated due to lack of testing.
He really should know that there have been many more than 1 death in WA. JEEZ.

Have you noticed he never verifies with names..lots of people tell or express to him but never a name connected who those people are. Does he make up stories and tell them to Melania. Etc? Do they see thru his lies?

A lot of people are saying it. Is it true? I don't know. I think it might be. That's what a lot of people are saying, at least.

I don’t think he understands the concept of oath.

I wish, just once, a reporter would respond to his “people are saying”, with “Name three!”
