Trump COVID-19 updates: Top Trump aide Stephen Miller tests positive

Facebook on Tuesday removed a post by the president, and Twitter tagged the post as misleading, after Trump incorrectly cited flu death numbers in a comparison to COVID-19.

Trump, the morning after returning from the hospital to be treated for COVID-19, tweeted, "Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu. Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!" he wrote.

A Facebook spokesperson said in a statement, "We remove incorrect information about the severity of COVID-19, and have now removed this post."

Twitter left the message up but covered it up with a message that said it violated the platform’s rules “about spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19."

According to CDC estimates, the annual flu death toll has ranged between 12,000 and 61,000 since 2010.

Trump also told Bob Woodward earlier this year that coronavirus is "more deadly than even your strenuous flu."

Trump used a similar comparison early on in the pandemic, before death totals began to rapidly rise.

On March 9, Trump tweeted, "So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!"

As of Tuesday, over 210,000 Americans have died from COVID-19.

The morning after leaving the hospital, Trump tweeted that he plans to attend next week's presidential debate in Miami.

The debate is set for Oct. 15 -- two weeks after the president tested positive for the coronavirus on Oct. 1.

When asked about the president campaigning, Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said Monday, "As far as travel goes, we will see.”

Trump's campaign told ABC News on Monday that "it is the president’s intention to debate."

The Trump campaign is already fundraising off of President Trump's exit from Walter Reed Medical Center Monday night, urging supporters not to be, "afraid of Covid," which has killed over 200,000 Americans.

The subject of a fundraising email sent Monday night said: "I'M BACK" -- even though his doctors said earlier in the day that he's not out of the woods yet.

The email goes on to argue "under the Trump Administration, we have developed some really great drugs and knowledge," but since testing positive the president has received some of the best treatment in the world -- which most Americans don't have access to.

"This is it...I need you to step up to the front lines during this critical time," the email urges supporters.
