Twitter flags Trump's tweet comparing Covid to flu

Twitter on Tuesday flagged a tweet by US President Donald Trump that played down the Covid-19 pandemic and compared it to the seasonal flu. Twitter placed a warning label on the tweet, saying the post included potentially misleading information. "Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu. Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid," Trump had tweeted hours after being discharged from hospital where he was admitted after testing positive for Covid. Earlier in the day, Facebook removed a similar post by Trump.
