Trump tries to hit Biden on H1N1 swine flu epidemic in 2009.
Biden counters 14,000 died in that pandemic during the Great Recession.
200,000 Americans have died of the novel coronavirus since February under Trump's watch.
Trump says he's spoken with Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and other pharmaceutical companies and claims they've could produce the #COVID19 vaccine "faster" than mid-summer 2021 as Trump's own advisers claim.
"Maybe you can inject some bleach into your arm and that would take care of it," @JoeBiden says, hitting Trump for suggesting bleach injections into the human body could kill #COVID19.
Trump replies that he was being sarcastic.
Here's the video:
"I wear masks when needed," @realDonaldTrump says as he pulls out a mask he had tuck inside his suit coat.
Chris Wallace pressed @realDonaldTrump why he's holding large rallies that health experts say are a threat to public health.
"Because people want to hear what I have to say," he replies.
Biden says Trump has been "totally irresponsible" with the large rallies.

Meet Kelley Miller (left), 54, of Mulliken, Mich. Kelley was paralyzed from the neck down in a 2011 car accident. She needs a ventilator to breathe and requires 24-7 care @ home. For a decade, Michigan's auto insurance safety net for catastrophic injuries has provided that care🧵
I first wrote about Kelley Miller back in April when the impact of the Legislature's 45% cut in payments to home health care agencies that care for injured drivers came into focus.
Because her ventilator can fail, Kelley needs an RN and aide at home.
In October, 1st Call Home Healthcare in Clinton Twp. dropped Kelley Miller as a patient, citing the 45% in payments.
Two of her nurses started a new company called RN Plus Staffing, hoping to exploit a loophole in the 2019 law that sets rates based on what 2019 charges.

NEW from me: A federal judge in Detroit has disqualified attorneys for @Allstate Insurance Co. and an entire law firm in an auto insurance medical bill lawsuit for their "scorched-earth tactics" and lying under oath.
Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Stafford let @Allstate's attorneys have it in a biting 28-page opinion that found one lawyer lied on an affidavit and under oath about having an unethical conversation with a pharmacist Allstate was suing over his billing. crainsdetroit.com/law/allstate-a…
Out-of-state insurance companies like Allstate, State Farm & Liberty Mutual have been using the federal RICO statute to round up groups of medical providers and accuse them of a criminal-like conspiracy to overbill insurers. Providers almost always settle, except this one... 3/
CAUTION: I'm about to write a long thread about the state of home health care in Michigan right now following the upheaval of our state's system of care for catastrophically injured motorists.
Michigan legislators, take cover...
John Wicke, the 52-year-old quadriplegic man I wrote about last week, is still living at Sparrow Hospital because his home health care agency quit because the Legislature & @GovWhitmer cut their pay by 45% on July 1.
