Trump Falsely Claims Children Do Not Transmit COVID-19

HeadlineJul 23, 2020

President Trump held another televised coronavirus briefing Wednesday, where he falsely claimed that children do not transmit the virus. Trump conducted the briefing alone. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was not invited to the briefing — but he will make a public appearance later today. Fauci will throw out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals opening game. Major League Baseball is beginning a shortened season today. Games will be played in empty ballparks.
