Dr Trump to the rescue

Tell that to those who died

Let him try both and see

I have flu 🤕

thats true

Great Great Great Stupidity !

Thus spake Zaratrumpa - expert on climatology, epidemiology and, in fact, anything really.

Trump is more lethal than both put together

Is he comparing the numbers from the past three months? 😑

Well, technically it is.

Trump you never walked the corridors of medical school

The WH admitted from the beginning that they use alternative facts. All lies all the time.

Spot on

Ah! The voice of reason!

He also said Mexico was going to pay for a wall 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

va usato come cavia

Sound.. That's it all sorted then.

We have had over 62 Americans test positive and so far 0 have died.

The good Dr speaks 😱

And you repeat this lie?

Get with it. You're amplifying a dangerous falsehood.

You know you fatheads don't have to print everything king fathead says as if it was true

C'mon man don't normalize the bullshit

Do you do research before posting things?

Except if you catch it

It is?

1 in 1000 die of flu, 1 in 33 die of covid19 Ask him again in 6 months when 60% of global population has it and millions are dead.

The stable genius speaks his medical wisdom on the coronavirus, is there no end to this mans wisdom?

This headline is useless. As in Trump’s stenographer useless. It spreads his misinformation uncritically. Don’t do this

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Because it is

He means China over reacted by locking down tens of millions of people in Hubei Province?

Please also include the statement, “He’s wrong,” when you make headlines like this. Otherwise, it appears that his statement is fact.

Well duh, of course the flu is more deadly. Just read the numbers.

So far he's right.

He reacted very quickly with border strengthening measures at the start of the outbreak. Now he has to further strengthen virus impermeability while at the same time prevent unnecessary panic. The smart long term move is an early lockdown until borders germ proof, then relaxation

Shhh. COVID2019 is a Commie plot, like soccer.

And he knows more about medicine than any doctor

SWEET JESUS MAKE THIS THING “GO AWAY PERMANENTLY “ 😡😈🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

38% of Americans stop buying fluff.

Why do we care what an idiot says?

🤦‍♀️

Stop making this headlines from thus stupid man's pontifications! Who cares what he says? He gets things wrong all the time and he lies. Why not quote an expert?

Trump also says Covfefe, I wouldn't pay too much attention to him.

Include the 'it's not' correction next time you tweet some shit like this.

So, why not have your title reflect what the article actually says? Oh, it doesn’t fit your narrative, that’s right. Not once in your article did he say the flu is more lethal. He stated a fact, more people die each year, and America hasn’t lost anyone yet.

Why would you post such an irresponsible headline? If it's not true, then it should indicate that: 'Trump incorrectly says...' If Trump is correct, then how about leaving him out if it: 'Flu more lethal...' Do some work. Don't just regurgitate what politicians say.

Stop tweeting Trump’s bullshit without context or correction! Would it *kill* you to put “falsely” or “wrongly” in there?!

Why would you report like this? It’s clearly not true...

Thick shit.

It's a false flag pandemic, a psyop.

In the last 2 months in America: Flu deaths, over 7000 Corona, ZERO

This is a lie. Why would you elevate this? Complicit

Like anyone believes a thing he says. He’s an opportunistic liar.

This is stupid and a lie. Why not report that?

CoronavirusOutbreak is still an unknown commodity. Many cured cases have returned with a recurrence in China. Trump needs to be cautious. It is human lives at stake.

also not as lethal as windmill cancer

Trump lies. This is another one of his 16000 lies. Why are you printing his lies? Stop printing his lies.

Please do not post anything the president of the United States says on the coronavirus. Stick with experts please. People will die if you just post stuff uncritically like this! FFS get a grip

Flu kills more than 600,000 a year worldwide & until we have had a year of the Chinese flu you cant accurately say one way or another Also the size of the outbreak matters as much as the lethality in terms of how deadly a disease is & we don't yet know the extent

Stop repeating his lies. That is absolutely not true.

'Trump incorrectly says flu more lethal than coronavirus' fixedit

'...FALSELY says...' IS THAT SO HARD? God.

Jesus wept. 'Trump *incorrectly* states that flu more lethal...' Please stop putting out headlines that are so fucking incorrect

So you spread lying scientific outcomes now? How are you allowed to spread lies and misinformation?

Trump lies...a lot.

Absolute gobshite

“Everything Trump says is BS” - fixed your headline for you. You’re welcome! 😂

coronavirus kills 10 to 15 times more than a flu according to an eminent french virologist.

His White House advisers must go visit those infected with coronavirususa & then advise him the truth.

Fakenews TrumpDerangementSyndrome has become a wonderful spectator sport! 🤣 - ...and a fantastic business tool for MSM to generate Clickbait. - They cast out their nets and we laugh at what they catch!

The seasonal flu kills far more people so, I'd rate that as mostly true.

The numbers so far. But on averages of cases to deaths. No.

Expert speaking...

Both are called influenza but different types

He has no clue what he's talking about.

Stop with the stupid...everyone knows this is not true , stop continuing the lies!!!

It is irresponsible of you to repeat this crap without a disclaimer that Trump is lying in the headline and that the information is misleading and dangerous.

You can't just repeat lies verbatim without saying so in a headline. That's poor journalism

“Trump says moon is made of cheese. “ Try a little harder.

What merit does this imbecile have that allows him to be rich? Truly capitalism is a broken system by which buffoons and monsters are elevated to leadership roles.

You’ve got so many more characters available in your tweet... why not mention that he’s completely wrong (by a factor of 2000%) somewhere in there, instead of just amplifying his lies?

trump also says he's a stable genius. Neither is true.

The 2% mortality rate is primarily based on the Wuhan population. That doesn’t actually have many citizens over 50 years old. I worry what the rate will be when it hits the UK with our ageing population.

Must be true then.

For a change he's not wrong.

Ignorance is more lethal than any virus. 😷🤯

Well let's hope he catches it so he can test that theory.

Why is that lie your headline? This is absurd

The USA would like to extend its deepest sympathies to the world in regards to the dumbest idiot that is currently our president*. This problem will be dealt with come November please stand by (or maybe the Coronavirus will get him first)

That's true but we have vaccines ready for the flu. We have a system in place to stop people from dying because we have knowledge about the virus. The new virus Covid-19 doesn't have any system in place to control it.

‘Flu more dangerous than Coronavirus’ says man looking seriously jaundiced

Why would you just put this out there when scientists have stated categorically that it is much more lethal?

Braaaaaaaaaains

and he’d be correct

Why is this news

The only lethal is you Sir 😁

Give him a break...he doesn’t understand actual vs. percentages. That’s all. U act like a President needs a 5th grade education.

So he’s a President and a medical expert. Amazing!

Well if Trump says it, it *must* be true 🙄

When will we get Congress to pass a law imprisoning the President when he or she lies? The lies of a President can now kill people. We need a life sentence for any President who lies in his or her official capacity.

Trump not knowing what he's talking about? Surely not?!

Muppet

According to new reports, the coronavirus has a 2% mortality rate versus the flu, which is at something like 0.01% Trump never was very good at math.

Trump is probably more lethal than Coronavirus

Is he still living in 1920’s?

I don't think that's true at all.
