A dangerous new coronavirus discovered in China could spark
the next pandemic, scientists warn.
All lies. How can there be a 'new COVID' when our President said it was a
big hoax?

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. � President Donald Trump accused Democrats of �politicizing� the deadly coronavirus during a campaign rally here on Friday, claiming that the outbreak is �their new hoax� as he continued to downplay
the risk in the U.S.
�Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus,� Trump said. �They have
no clue, they can't even count their votes in Iowa.�
ADVERTISING
�This is their new hoax,� Trump continued, adding that attacking the White House�s response to the coronavirus had become the Democratic Party�s �single talking point.�
Trump has weaponized the word �hoax� throughout his presidency, using it to belittle and discredit former special counsel Robert Mueller�s probe into Russian election interference as well as his impeachment trial. He also has a long history of distrusting experts, most notably his own intelligence community and government scientists.
�Democrats will always say horrible things," Trump said. "Democrats want us
to fail so badly.�
Trump � who has been criticized for painting an overly rosy picture of the outbreak, often contradicting his own health officials � insisted on Friday that his administration was �magnificently organized� and �totally prepared"
to address the virus.
"My administration has taken the most aggressive acts in history to prevent
the spread in the United States," Trump said, touting his decision to ban foreign nationals recently in China from entering the U.S.
Trump again drew a misleading comparison between the coronavirus and the seasonal flu, telling his supporters that "35,000 on average each year die
from the flu, that's a lot of people."
�So far we have lost nobody to coronavirus," Trump said, suggesting the
growing global panic was due to the press being in a "hysteria mode." Recommended

Experts say that the coronavirus is significantly more contagious than the
flu and a vaccine is at least a year to 18 months away.
Trump faced bipartisan pressure after he requested $2.5 billion in
coronavirus response funding, which lawmakers from both parties said wasn't enough. He later said that if Congress wants to grant additional funds, "I'll take it."
More than 83,000 people have been sickened by the coronavirus and at least 2,857 have died since the start of January when the virus was first
discovered in China. As the virus spread rapidly across Europe and the Middle East this past week, Wall Street suffered its worst week since the financial crisis.
