President Donald Trump is under fire for suggesting that people with coronavirus can go to work, so now he is denying that he ever said such a thing — even though there is audio.

During a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, Trump minimized the risk the outbreak poses to the public even though it is highly contagious and currently has a fatality rate of over 6 percent in the United States after 11 people have died out of 158 total cases so far.

In fact, based on alleged conversations with people he did not identify, Trump appeared to suggest that people who have contracted the virus can go to work even though health experts and organizations strongly advise people to stay home and self-quarantine.

“Now, this is just my hunch, and, but based on a lot of conversation with a lot of people who do this, because a lot of people will have this and it’s very mild,” Trump said. “They’ll get better very rapidly. They don’t even see a doctor. They don’t even call a doctor. You never hear about those people, so you can’t put them down in the category of the overall population in terms of this corona flu, and, or virus, so you just can’t do that. So we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that just get better, by, you know, sitting around and even going to work – some of ’em go to work – but they get better.”

That’s an incredibly reckless statement to make because it risks spreading the virus even further and putting lives in jeopardy.

On Thursday morning, however, Trump cried “fake news” and lied about ever saying what he said.

Again, there is audio of Trump’s words, which you can hear for yourself below.

Trump literally suggested that coronavirus is “mild” and that people can continue going to work because they’ll “get better.”

This is why only health professionals should be allowed to speak about viruses and outbreaks, and why Americans should only listen to them, especially since all Trump is doing is lying and making the outbreak worse.
