White House chief of staff Mark Meadows defends Trump's false claim that '99%' of coronavirus cases are 'harmless'

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Monday backed President Donald Trump's false claim that "99%" of coronavirus cases are "totally harmless."

Public health experts and local officials have rejected Trump's claim, citing evidence that much more than 1% of those infected with the virus require hospitalization and suffer serious consequences. White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Monday backed President Donald Trump's false claim that "99%" of coronavirus cases are "totally harmless" and insisted that that "the risks [of Covid-19] are extremely low" for most people.

Meadows went on, "When you look at the deaths that we have, if you're over 80 years of age or if you have three what they call co-morbidities — diabetes, hypertension, heart issues — then you need to be very, very careful. Outside of that, the risks are extremely low and the president's right with that and the facts and the statistics back this up there.

"I understand he has a tough job, but it is dangerous not to be sending a clear message to Americans, to folks in my town," he said.

It’s a real math claim based on real math. Divide population by death toll sum equals 1%

Good job Mark.

It’s true. Death rates are way down.

He does wants to loose his job he needs to tell the truth here we go

WOW

99% of people with COVID-19 may live, but the virus is far from 'harmless' to those that suffer the symptoms.
