An enthusiastic-looking Donald Trump Jr had good news for people worried about Covid-19 in the US.

Apparently the number of deaths from the coronavirus in the country has now ‘gone to almost nothing’, he told Laura Ingraham on Fox News.

It must be true, it’s on his Instagram.

And these are surely the only 5 responses you need.

“The number (of deaths) is almost nothing, because we’ve gotten control of this,” Don Jr says.

So far today, Johns Hopkins has reported 87,164 new cases and 951 reported deaths.

TODAY.

With a total of 228,636 deaths.

I like to think of Don Jr. as what happens when you take a Twitter bot and turn it into a real person.pic.twitter.com/A40KgEh69w

More than a thousand people died of COVID today. Perhaps "Don" can attend some of the funerals, look those families in their eyes, and tell them their loved ones' deaths were "almost nothing." https://t.co/t5J6WWnJh3

I know the messaging they are trying to push. But this is, in any other circumstance, the type of utterance that would kill a normal campaign. We’ve had around 1,000k deaths each of the last two days and the president’s son and top campaign surrogate calls it “almost nothing” https://t.co/iuDgYjkegI

And also this.

And my sister just sits there allowing this son of con to talk and lie repeatedly all the while looking at him adoringly. Repulsive! 1,016 Americans actually died today Laura. Do you even care?! @IngrahamAngle https://t.co/p7OzIteJiS
