How Trump accused media of false COVID-19 updates
United State President, Donald Trump posted a slew of tweets on Monday accusing the media of intentionally whipping up a frenzy over the rising Coronavirus caseload, while he blamed the high numbers on increased testing.
“Cases up because we TEST, TEST, TEST. A Fake News Media Conspiracy,” Trump said in one tweet.
While testing numbers are rising, so are hospitalizations, a sign that people are getting seriously ill in greater numbers.
More than 80,000 cases were reported in one day over the weekend, a record high, and the seven-day rolling average remains elevated at levels not seen in several months.
“COVID, COVID, COVID is being used by them [the media], in total coordination, in order to change our great early election numbers. Should be an election law violation!” Trump wrote in another tweet.
