White House Claims Trump Ended COVID-19 Pandemic

[puranapool]

The White House included "ending the COVID-19 pandemic" in a new list of President Donald Trump's accomplishments.

The pandemic has not ended, least of all in the US, where the number of new cases reported daily reached record levels over the weekend.

The claim was made in a press release from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy released Tuesday. The release accompanied a 62-page report of scientific highlights from Trump's presidency.

 

The US recorded more than 73,000 new coronavirus cases on the day the press release was sent, according to Johns Hopkins University, as well as 985 deaths. Saturday marks the all-time high in daily reported US coronavirus cases — topping a record set Friday.

Business Insider contacted the White House to ask what its pandemic claim was based on, and was referred to comments by its communications director, Alyssa Farah, who told Fox News that the document was "poorly worded."
