Laura Ingraham says current number of COVID cases is “not a particularly relevant” metric in gauging handling of pandemic Written by Media Matters Staff Published 10/26/20 11:15 PM EDT Video file Citation From the October 26, 2020, edition of Fox News' The Ingraham Angle LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): As The Angle viewers already know because you're super smart, case numbers are just one metric and not a particularly relevant one. We're testing more than any other country in the world so of course we're picking up mild and asymptomatic cases which, thankfully, account for the vast majority of all COVID cases in the United States. The COVID daily death rate has ticked up a little bit but a shockingly small amount given the dramatic rise in cases. This just supports what we've been saying for a while now, the virus is likely attenuating and we're getting a lot better at treating it.
