The CNN guy did what they almost always do, set up a false narrative as a strawman and then knock it down. Trump never said it was less lethal than the flu, at the moment, maybe it is maybe it isn't, we'll have to play the long game to know for sure, but what Trump said was "in most populations far less lethal". As usual Trump isn't a master wordsmith, and they twisted it, but I'm pretty certain he was saying "The China virus is far less lethal (than we thought) in most populations." Which is 100% accurate. Its only super deadly in the very high age ranges.
That's body shaming. Everyone knows obese people are just as healthy as everyone else, its just the evil cabal of doctors who are pushing the lie that being over weight is wrong.

Don't forget the morbidly obese. Which puts a lot of the american public at a rather high risk.
