https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/04/politics/fauci-trump-unsure-rounding-the-corner-covid/index.html(CNN)Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday that he's not sure what President Donald Trump meant when he said earlier that evening that the country is "rounding the corner" on the coronavirus pandemic.
"I'm not sure what he means," Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN's Jim Acosta on "The Situation Room."
"There are certain states that are actually doing well in the sense of that the case numbers are coming down." However, Fauci continued, experts remain concerned by a number of states, including Montana, Michigan, Minnesota and the Dakotas, that are starting to see an uptick in the percentage of coronavirus tests coming back positive -- an indication of spread of the virus.
The exchange marked another example of a top scientist and a member of the White House coronavirus task force publicly disputing the President's claims about the virus, a dynamic that has played out nearly since the start of the pandemic.

If you believe it, you can achieve it!
That is if there are enough people willing to believe your story and consider it to be real.
Sadly, this is actually perpetuating the spread of the virus. The longer this kind of message is spun, the longer it will be with us, bouncing around the country with plenty more people to infect and kill when you look at the numbers.
