There is a fierce backlash from the medical community over President Donald Trump's claim that doctors inflate COVID-19 deaths for money.
In a statement, the American Medical Association has strongly criticized the claim that doctors inflate the number of patients as malicious and absurd, the political media The Hill reported yesterday (31st) in local time.
Susan Bailey, president of the American Medical Association, says frontline medical professionals, including doctors and nurses, have been treating patients during the pandemic.
Earlier, President Trump said in a campaign in Michigan the day before, "If you die of Corona 19, doctors make more money."
President Trump also made a similar argument in the Wisconsin campaign last weekend, saying, "Doctors make more money" if Corona 19 is listed as the cause of death.
The American Medical Association criticized the infection could surge even when the federal government issued guidelines in August that no symptoms need to be tested for COVID-19.
Medical experts say the cause of death is Corona 19, according to CNN, if a person with an underlying disease contracts and dies.
Reuters reported that the number of new confirmed cases in the United States per day was 10,233 the day before, as a result of its own count.
