Trump Says COVID-19 Is Fading

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump says without evidence that the coronavirus is fading, a claim he has been making for months. Trump spoke to several hundred people at an airport in Fletcher after addressing delegates at the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. Trump says the nation would “will have the vaccines very soon, but it’s going to be fading, and it is starting to fade.” The U.S. coronavirus death toll and case count have been climbing for months. More than 176,000 Americans have now died of the coronavirus, by far more than any other country.
