In response to US President Donald Trump's re-proliferation of Corona19, "99% are harmless," the US health authorities did not defend the president and avoided a clear statement.

According to the U.S. media, Stephen Han, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) responded when CNN's State of the Union interviewed the host's comments about the Corona 19 remarks made by President Trump in a speech to celebrate Independence Day the day before.

In his speech, President Trump reiterated that "we have made a lot of progress and our strategy is rolling well."

He also claimed that about 40 million people were tested, and that 99% of them were completely harmless.

However, it was pointed out that the statement was unclear.

"We know that cases of outbreaks are soaring in the country," Han said. "We won't guess what causality is there because it's too far."

He said, "I will not tell who is right or who is wrong," as the host repeatedly asked if the President's comments were wrong, while presenting an estimate by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in which about one-third of corona19 patients were asymptomatic.

He said, "What I'm trying to say is that we have data on the White House Task Force." They show us that this is a serious problem.

At the end of May, the CDC presented a scenario based on the difference in the severity and spread of corona 19, and made an estimate that 35% of the infected would have no symptoms.
