AP FACT CHECK: Trump's alternate reality on COVID-19 threat

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump appears to be living in an alternate reality when it comes to the COVID-19 threat.

Over the weekend, he clung to the misguided notion that the virus will just “disappear” even as his top science experts and GOP allies bluntly say otherwise.

Trump also continued to wrongly insist that anyone who wants a coronavirus test is getting one, made the head-scratching suggestion that the virus is under control when infections are surging to fresh daily highs and lodged false accusations against the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci.

The statements came in a week of distorted truth. Trump referred repeatedly to his “ban” on travel from China that wasn't so and issued a scattered indictment of Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden.

I wanted to scream..."No shit Sherlock! We'll all either be dead from the virus, dying from the virus, or we'll be getting vaccines against the virus at that point."
