If I didn’t know any better I would think that was a parody. Trump is such a disaster sometimes

And why can’t we judge the pAndEMiC based on deaths by reported cases? Doesn’t that give an accurate descriptor for mortality rate?

Our cases are highest bc we are doing the most testing. Pretty simple to understand.

I hate to say it but that interview was a disaster. No way he should have been on Axios. They were never going to be fair to him or unbiased.

No let's have Biden do an interview that isn't scripted.

Did Kushner advise him to do that interview? There’s no reason to do anything with reporters that you aren’t positive will be friendly especially with Biden hiding out.

I mean Trump was right. Deaths were much higher, we had an increase and now "deaths" are getting ready to bend down (i.e., get better).

As of today.

So no different than any other "news" outlet?

Trump provided an embarrassing bad response on Covid-19 numbers. The US is top 10 in most deaths/1M pop. Trump’s weak response is the root cause for those deaths.

So, just playing the game here, what would have been a strong response?

Yes. Rush was going on about this on his program today. Death rate as a percentage of population is dumb. The focus should be the death rate as a percentage of the cases. That's a more accurate reflection, but doesn't fit the media narrative/fear porn.

ETA: Never paid much attention to Jonathan Swan. That's one smug motherfricker.

If country A has 1,000 cases with a 6% mortality rate, then they have 60 dead. If country B has 1M cases with a 4% mortality rate, then they have 40,000 dead. Who did a better job?

Country B because Country B counts dying WITH Covid as dying FROM Covid and Country A doesn't count dying WITH cases.
