United States (US) President Donald Trump says he had asked US officials to slow down testing for COVID-19, as more testing leads to a higher number of cases.
According to reports, the US President, while trying to fool his nation once again, said that the growing number of coronavirus cases could be stopped by reducing the number of tests.
The comments drew a chorus of criticism from congressional Democrats, who said it validated fears that the president was more focused on saving face amid the pandemic than on protecting public health.

A White House official said Donald Trump was joking about his call for a slowdown in testing, according to the reports by Reuters. Daily counts of new virus cases in the U.S. are the highest they’ve been in more than a month, but public health experts say “second wave” is probably the wrong term to describe what’s happening.
“When you have 20,000-plus infections per day, how can you talk about a second wave? We’re in the first wave.” said Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
