Donald Trump retweeted a post by game show host Chuck Woolery that baselessly claimed "everyone is lying" about the coronavirus pandemic in a possible effort to thwart Trump's re-election chances this fall by harming the economy.
The conservative Woolery, who hosted shows such as "Love Connection," wrote on Sunday evening, "The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19."
"Everyone is lying. The CDC [federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust," Woolery wrote.
"I think it's all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I'm sick of it," he added.

(10,853 posts)Another Covid-19 denier who the last time I checked was on 'cruise control' in an ICU. The term 'cruise control' apparently = ventilator use.
I keep going back to one of the best tweets I've read on the matter:
If you don't like wearing a mask, you're really not going to like wearing a ventilator.

Source: ABC News
"I think I made a mistake. I thought this was a hoax, but it's not."
Those were the final words of a 30-year-old patient who died at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, Texas, this week after attending a so-called "COVID party," according to the hospital's chief medical officer.
Dr. Jane Appleby, chief medical officer for Methodist Hospital and Methodist Childrens Hospital, said in a recorded statement that the unidentified patient told nurses about the party, which she said is hosted by someone diagnosed with coronavirus.
"The thought is people get together to see if the virus is real and if anyone gets infected," Appleby said.

Btw, I read this morning that Covid-19 deniers are claiming this story about the 30-year old is a hoax.
It never ends!

Seriously.

(1,178 posts)For as much as I've been seeing this going around, it must be the new campaign strategy talking point that's come out in the last 24 hours. That everything about the Coronavirus has been a lie in order to destroy the economy and keep it from recovering.
