The United States has the greatest COVID-19 testing program on the planet, better than huge nations like Russia, China, India, and Brazil, President Donald Trump said on Monday, affirming that America has "pretty much the most reduced death rate" because of the infection on the planet.
"We have one of the most reduced death rates anyplace," Trump said at a White House roundtable. In excess of 34 lakh Americans have tried positive for COVID-19 up until now and more than 1,37,000 have kicked the bucket because of the illness, the two of which are the biggest numbers among all the nations.
The gigantic number of positive cases, the president stated, is because of the monstrous testing endeavors embraced by his organization, broader than some other nation.
"We test more than anyone by a long shot. Furthermore, when you test, you make cases. So we have made cases. I can disclose to you that a few nations, the test when someone strolls into a clinic wiped out or strolls into possibly a specialist's office, yet generally a medical clinic. That is the trying they do, so they don't have cases, while we have every one of these cases. Thus, it is a twofold edged blade," he said.
Simultaneously, the United States has the most reduced death rate or pretty much the least death rate because of the illness on the planet, Trump included. "We are working admirably. We are doing very well with immunizations and we are doing incredibly, well with therapeutics. I think we will have some excellent data coming out soon," he said in light of an inquiry.
"In any case, we have the best and absolutely, by a long shot, the greatest testing program anyplace on the planet. On the off chance that you tried China or Russia or any of the bigger nations, in the event that you simply tried India, for instance, the manner in which we test, you would see numbers that would be astounding. Brazil as well. You know, Brazil is experiencing a major issue, however, they don't do testing as we do," Trump said.
So we do the testing and by doing the testing, we have enormous quantities of cases. For instance, we have done 45 million tests. In the event that we did a large portion of that number, you would have a large portion of the cases presumably - around that number. In the event that we did another portion of that, you would have a large portion of the numbers. Everybody would state, ''Oh, we are excelling in cases," he included."
Reacting to an inquiry, Trump said what China did to the world ought not to be overlooked.
"I think what China has done to the world with what occurred - the China plague - you can consider it the China infection, you can consider it anything you desire to call it. It has around 20 distinct names. What they did to the world ought not to be overlooked," he said.
The economic accord with China that was marked early this year stays unblemished, the president said. "It is flawless, they (China) are purchasing. Regardless of whether they purchase or not, that is up to them. They are purchasing," he said.
