from The Washington Post,
7/8/20:

“We have tested over 40 million people. By so doing, we show cases, 99 percent of which are totally harmless. Results that no other country will show, because no other country has testing that we have — not in terms of the numbers or in terms of the quality.”

This is one of those presidential statements that even Trump’s aides have trouble explaining.
