All right, thank you, Anderson. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to prime time.

99% of cases of COVID-19 are harmless, says Trump. Remember, the White House numbers puts our death rate at around 4.4 plus percent.

So is that harmless? To the 130,000 plus dead, to their families, to the tens of thousands who've suffered terribly,

to all those suffering now, harmless?

Maybe if he gave a damn.

Maybe if the President of the United States were not ignoring and coming up with new ways to reportedly get you to live with a pandemic, maybe then he would know just how stupid that statement is.

I will say this.

Trump's strategy of lie, deny, and defy all facts and decency is just as toxic to our society as 99% of COVID cases.

But he is being honest about one thing, and it matters, especially now, especially to you, the President's supporters, because you also

own what he is saying right now.

His blatant pitch to bigots, he has no position on whether the Confederate flag should be flying

in America in the year 2020.

This man will not bring anyone together.

His plan is the opposite.

That's why, if you want to beat this pandemic,

if you want America to be better for the worthy,

the key is the we, you and me, together as ever as one. What do you say? Let's get after it.

We have a special guest tonight. Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. She'll be on in just moments here on primetime just after learning tonight that she and her husband are COVID positive. Life is going to change for them. They've got kids. They have people to take care of. They have a community to take care of. We'll talk about that. Now, the mayor is more proof of this

virus ravaging our country. It can reach anyone anywhere. And the president says, no big deal.

Now we have tested almost 40 million people. By so doing, we showcases, 99% of which are totally harmless.

And by the way, he was reading. Somebody wrote that. Somebody wrote that crap. 99% harmless is 100% wrong, and he should know it.

His son's girlfriend has it now, Kimberly Gilfoyle, and I wish her well.
