‘To put this in perspective, 12,000 year people die every year of the flu,’ he noted, on a day when worldwide infections from the coronavirus passed 83,000 and a second case showed up in California. 

‘If you wash your hands, if you stay away from sick people if you protect  the most vulnerable, you’ll be just fine,’ said McCormick, who practiced medicine in the Marines, practices emergency medicine physician at Gwinnett Medical Center.

The administration is now requiring government public health officials to clear media appearances through Vice President Mike Pence’s offices, though officials disputed the notion it was muzzling experts. 

Rep. John Garamendi of California told MSNBC that Fauci, one of the government’s top experts, had to nix appearances on Sunday shows where he was to have spoken to the public.

‘I can repeat what he said, he said, ‘I was not muzzled. However, I was to go on the Sunday talk shows five of them,’ he said, the Hill reported.

‘The vice president’s office then took over the control of this situation, and told me to stand down, not to do those shows,” Garamendi said Fauci told him.

He added: ‘Now, you can draw your own conclusions whether he was muzzled or not, but clearly he was scheduled to do Sunday talk shows and he was not to proceed with that,’ the congressman added.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden told CNN: ‘You need to let the experts speak,’ criticizing the policy. 

 Trump unleashed a series of attacks on Democrats over the coronavirus at his campaign rally in North Charleston.

‘Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus.  They’re politicizing it.  We did one of the great jobs, you see,’ you see. 

‘They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa,’ he slapped.

Then the president said: ‘One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia. That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They’ve been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning. They lost. It’s all turning. Think of it. And this is their new hoax.’
