And Vice President Mike Pence told the Americans everything was fine.
It was a picture that contradicted the truth.
Leaving critical information, Pence gave the optimist, a brighter version of dishonesty, all the way to distinguish President Donald Trump’s previous briefings, who did not attend the Friday session.
“We are in the midst of public health disaster, despite what you heard,” CNN chief medical reporter Dr. Sanjay Gupta said after the briefing. Said.
Pence described the Sun Belt status as specific “outbreaks” occurring in “specific districts” and “certain communities” – expert Dr. As Peter Hotez stated in the CNN after the briefing, some of the most populated districts in the country are places that have experienced a “big resurrection”.
“This is not a tragedy, and moreover it is not presented as a tragedy -” We do a pretty good job and now there are a few hot spots. “These are not ‘hot spots’ – these are the largest metropolitan areas in the United States,” he said. Dean of Baylor School of Medicine, National Tropical School of Medicine, Texas.
Perhaps Pence’s most ambitious claim regarding the briefing was his proposal that the country ended with the painful part of the pandemic.
“Since we saw new cases rise and watched them very carefully, there may be a tendency among the American people to think that we have returned to where we were two months ago. There are huge losses and great troubles in the American people. The truth is a much better we are on the ground. “
Pence is still killing more than 500 Americans a day, although the current daily death rate is significantly lower than its peak. Unemployment rate in May was 13.3%.
In other words, loss and distress continue.
