President Trump said Sunday that the media gave credit to Dr. Anthony Fauci for the response he deserves to the coronavirus, declaring that the nation’s best infectious disease expert “works for me.”
“Something like Dr. Fauci is revered by LameStream Media as a great professional, having done, they say, such an amazing job, but it works for me and for the Trump Administration, and they don’t give me any credit for my work “, the the president wrote on Twitter.
“Wow, could this be more fake news?” said about Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus working group.

“The number of cases and deaths from China’s virus is greatly exaggerated in the United States due to @ CDCgov’s ridiculous method of determination compared to other countries, many of which report, by the way, very inaccurate and low.” no doubt, call him Covid. ”False news!” said the president.
Fauci responded to Trump’s claim.
“Deaths are real deaths. All you have to do is go out into the trenches, go to the hospitals, see what the health workers are doing, ”Fauci told ABC.
“It simply came to our notice then. That’s not fake, it’s real, ”he said.
