US Has High COVID-19 Cases Because We Test More – Trump by LORDofODDS(op): 11:27pm On Apr 30, 2020
Trump, says the country has a high record of coronavirus infections because it has an equally high testing rate.

Trump stated this on Wednesday via Twitter, noting that other countries have fewer cases because their testing capacities were minimal.




“The only reason the US has reported one million cases of coronavirus is that our testing is so much better than any other country in the World. Other countries are way behind us in testing and therefore show far fewer cases.

“Yet the media does nothing but complain. No matter how good a job is done, the same as with the ventilators, they will never say we are doing a great job, they will only viciously gripe,” he tweeted.

The World Health Organisation said the US has so far recorded about a million confirmed cases of COVID-19 with over 50,000 deaths.

Meanwhile, Trump called his counterpart in Nigeria recently promising to send ventilators to support the country in its fight against the pandemic.

Nigeria has tested a little above 10,000 suspected cases of the virus wherein over 1,500 turned positive.

The nation’s Centre for Disease Control said it was working on expanding testing capacity to more than 1,000 per day across its about 15 laboratories.

Trump is like Buhari; if he had taken urgent steps to protect Americans when this pandemic was wreaking havoc in China, his country wouldn't have been harvesting dead bodies like grains of rice today

Absolutely true.

Do you think the confirm cases reported by NCDC is the true number? Of course not.

Our testing capacity is low.

The Chinese are to blame... why hide such an epidemic from the world when it was announced by the late doctors?...

More so, this virus can live on surface for hours, which makes exported foods from china dangerous..

Obviously when you test more people you get greater numbers.

Basically, according to trump, US does not have a high record of coronavirus infections because the tests show many people are infected, US has high record of coronavirus infections because US has an equally high testing rate.

The test must be infecting people in US.

Comparing buhari to Trumph is like comparing darkness to light or failure to success. Trumph is God sent while bubu is cow sent.
