"While the POTUS has on several occasions downplayed the severity of the pandemic by claiming it will go away in the hot weather and even refused to wear masks, he never actually said the words "coronavirus is a hoax". According to a fact-check conducted by the Associated Press, the rumor began after Democratic nominee Joe Biden tweeted a cleverly doctored video of Trump titled "Trump in public: 'Hoax.' Trump in private: 'Killer.'"
In the video, depicting Trump from the February 28 campaign rally in South Carolina, has him say the words, "The coronavirus — and this is their new hoax."
This was not actually what he said.
The accusation and selective video editing are misleading. At the rally featured in the video, Trump actually said the phrases “the coronavirus” and “this is their new hoax” at separate points. Although his meaning is difficult to discern, the broader context of his words shows he was railing against Democrats for their denunciations of his administration’s coronavirus response."
As far as masks are concerned, there are many trains of thought regarding the use of them..very little protection, half the time not worn properly and increases one of the things we were warned about, touching your face. Cloth masks are not washed after every wearing and are a germ laden source.
Proponents of wearing a mask, Fauci, Feinstein and Pelosi all caught in public without one..Fauci in a ball park, Feinstein in an airport and Pelosi in a salon.
