When the President's own medical advisers refuse to correct his misleading claim, the coronavirus trust gap grows

Updated July 5, 2020

On Saturday night, President Donald Trump made the dangerously inaccurate claim that 99% of coronavirus cases are "totally harmless." On Sunday morning, one of his top health experts failed to correct the assertion, a stunning breakdown of the government's core duty to keep Americans safe and protect the public health.

上周六晚，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）发表了危险的不准确的声明，称99%的冠状病毒病例“完全无害”。周日上午，特朗普政府一位高级别健康专家未能纠正这一说法，这是政府对其保障美国人安全和保护公众健康的核心职责的惊人破坏。

CNN's Dana Bash pressed US Food and Drug Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn repeatedly Sunday morning to explain the President's false statement in his Fourth of July speech from the South Lawn of the White House, one that minimized the devastating effects of the virus and seemed to encourage Americans to ignore the deadly risks of a pandemic that has so far claimed more than 129,000 American lives.

CNN记者达纳·巴什（Dana Bash）周日上午反复向美国食品和药物管理局局长斯蒂芬·哈恩（Stephen Hahn）博士施压，要求他解释总统7月4日在白宫南草坪发表的虚假声明，这一讲话最大限度地弱化了病毒的破坏性影响，似乎鼓励美国人忽新冠肺炎大流行疾病的致命风险，到目前为止，已有12.9万美国人在疫情中丧生。

While Hahn urged Americans to follow the guidance from the CDC and public health experts -- noting that if they do not follow the guidelines from the CDC they are putting themselves and "your loved ones at risk" -- he did not delve into the statistics that better explain why the President's 99% claim is so misleading.

尽管哈恩（Hahn）敦促美国民众遵循疾病预防控制中心和公共卫生专家的指导方针，他指出，如果民众不遵循疾病预防控制中心的指导方针，他们将把自己和“所爱的人置于危险之中”，但他没有深入研究能更好解释总统关于99%的言论具有误导性的统计数据。
