2. We have no evidence that the diagnosis is inaccurate or fake. Just don't do this. More on what we know here: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/mattberman/donald-trump-has-the-coronavirus
3. There's a fake Trump campaign fundraising email making rounds.
4. Some confusion over whether Trump has outwardly called coronavirus a "hoax." He has, in February. Source: http://nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-calls-coronavirus-democrats-new-hoax-n1145721
5. Two things about this video making rounds. One: It's deceptively edited to show Biden coughing. Two: It's from Sept. 30, not yesterday (source: https://www.c-span.org/video/?476408-101/joe-biden-campaign-remarks-johnstown-pennsylvania).
