(CNN)White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Monday reiterated President Donald Trump's baseless claim that 99% of coronavirus cases are "totally harmless."

The commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration on Sunday declined to defend the President's unfounded claim that 99% of coronavirus cases are "totally harmless" and repeatedly refused to say whether Trump's remark is true or false.

"I'm not going to get into who is right and who is wrong," Dr. Stephen Hahn, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union."

During his remarks Saturday at the White House Independence Day event, Trump claimed without evidence that 99% of coronavirus cases "are totally harmless."

So since we have 132,007 fatalities so far that means 13,007,000 people have the virus in this country. When you consider the damage it does to your lungs even if you survive it that's not a good thing.

The Trump administration is full of idiots.

3. Duplicates are not that easy to find since DU uses google search which returns a bunch of results

that are not really targets.

Plus the google search changes the page URL rather than putting it in a frame which would be much more convenient.
(Enough kvetching - I love DU.)

4. This one so easy, as most duplicates are: Scan the LBN column visually on the Home page. Easy

Don't bother with search for a task like this. Scan. Read.

5. I go further than Bernardo describes- if I don't see it in the LBN column of the Home page, then the

next thing I do is go to the LBN page and sort it by the time posted (as opposed to the time last replied, but that's a preference, both ways work fine) http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1014&sort=time

If it's not on the first such LBN page, which has the 80 latest entries, than I feel go ahead and post.

It's just something I do for my fellow progressives so as to not waste their time alerting and waste the Hosts' time to lock it. I wish everyone felt that way about their fellow progressives, but apparently not.
