“Thanks to our relentless efforts, 97% of all current emergency rooms visits are for something other than" the coronavirus.”
FactCheck.org says: Trump could have boasted of similar percentages -- 93% to 96% -- during the worst periods of the pandemic.
“The number of coronavirus deaths is “almost nothing.”
“More suicide deaths than coronavirus death past two months.”
PolitiFact says: Current data on suicides is lacking, but based on past years, the coronavirus kills about four times as many people monthly as suicide.
“We are rounding the turn (on coronavirus). We are rounding the corner.”
PolitiFact says: “Rounding the corner” would imply significant, sustained reductions in the spread of the virus. In reality, sases have been rising steadily since mid-September, and hospitalizations and test positivity rates are up too.
“The novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is “a normal flu virus.”
FactCheck.org says: COVID-19 is deadlier than the seasonal flu, according to the World Health Organization, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other experts.
“Speaking of the federal debt before the coronavirus pandemic, “we were starting to get that number down.”

“But just the other day they came out with a statement that 85% of the people that wear masks catch" the coronavirus.”
FactCheck.org says: The CDC released a tweet directly contradicting the president’s claim, saying, “the interpretation that more mask-wearers are getting infected compared to non-mask wearers is incorrect.”
“According to a recent CDC report, "almost everyone — 85% — who got the coronavirus in July was wearing a mask, and they were infected anyway. So clearly (wearing a mask) doesn’t work the way they tell us it works.”
“The doctors said they've never seen a body kill the Coronavirus like my body. They tested my DNA and it wasn't DNA. It was USA”
“I know they call them therapeutic, but to me it wasn’t therapeutic, it just made me better. OK, I call that a cure," referring to an antibody cocktail made by Regeneron to treat COVID-19.”
FactCheck.org says: The products are still in clinical trials and have not been proven to be effective for COVID-19 patients, much less cure the disease.
