WASHINGTON: Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has said that US President Donald Trump continues to "lie about the circumstances" of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country. "The other night, Trump said in one of his rallies, 'we've turned the corner'," The Hill news website reported on Sunday citing Biden as saying at a rally in North Carolina.
"Turn the corner? Things are getting worse. He continues to lie to us about the circumstances," the former Vice President added.
Biden's statement came a day after the President at an event in Janesville, Wisconsin, said: "We are rounding the corner. The vaccines are unbelievable. Except for a little politics. We have unbelievable vaccines coming out real soon. And the therapeutics are unbelievable."
Making a similar remark at a rally in Jacksonville, Florida, last month, Trump had said "we're rounding the turn", adding that"under my leadership, prosperity will surge".
The US is currently the worst-hit country by the global health crisis, accounting for the highest number of cases and deaths. (IANS)
