The commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Sunday declined to defend U.S. President Donald Trump's unfounded claim that 99 per cent of coronavirus cases are "totally harmless" and repeatedly refused to say whether Trump's remark is true or false. "I'm not going to get into who is right and who is wrong," Dr. Stephen Hahn, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union." During his remarks Saturday at the White House Independence Day event, Trump claimed without evidence that 99 per cent of coronavirus cases "are totally harmless."

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 35 per cent of cases are asymptomatic, but even people with mild or no symptoms can spread the virus to others. While the World Health Organization has said the global fatality rate is likely less than 1 per cent, the WHO also said about 20 per cent of all people who are diagnosed with coronavirus are sick enough to need oxygen or hospital care.

"Now we have tested almost 40 million people. By so doing, we show cases — 99% of which are totally harmless — results that no other country can show because no other country has testing that we have. Not in terms of the numbers, or in terms of the quality," he said, once again also falsely claiming that rising cases are caused by increased testing.
USA is #36 when it comes to tests per million, China has tested more than 90 million people.
USA is at 7.9% positivity rate (2.9 million cases, 37 million tests)
Russia is at 3.2 % positivity rate and 1.3x more tests per million despite starting much later
Luxembourg is at 2.0% positivity rate.

Two Americans have been fined for breaking Canada's COVID-19 quarantine rules after being spotted multiple times in an Ontario town, police say. Police report that the visitors were told to drive straight to their Canadian destination and stay there for 14 days.
"Both individuals failed to comply with the … Quarantine Act and were observed making stops in the Town of Fort Frances," police said Saturday in a news release. As a result of the charge, the man and woman, who police say live in Excelsior, Minn., have each been fined $1,000.
Far too little imo.
