Kennedy questioned the deadliness of COVID-19 even as his home state registers record deaths from the virus.

's diagnosis offered proof that COVID-19 isn't as deadly as experts have warned. But the Republican's own state of Louisiana has seen deaths at a rate greater than almost any country in the world.

Kennedy spoke to Fox News' Neil Cavuto about Trump's return to the White House following a stay at Walter Reed medical center. He warned that the virus was highly infectious but downplayed how lethal it is."Every time I've been to the White House, it's sort of been a protected—super protected area. It was a bubble," Kennedy said.

"I think what that shows you is—it shows you what we have learned about this virus. We have learned two things, among others, but two things stood out in my mind. Number one, it's very contagious. Number two, it's not nearly as lethal as the experts told us it was going to be."The latest CDC figures say that of a thousand people who get it [...] six are going to die, which is six too many," he said.

"We have to respect it. But it's a pandemic. And the reason they call it a pandemic is because it's out there. It's easy to get. If you can get it at the White House, you can get a pretty much anywhere. You've just got to be careful." Sen. Kennedy says Trump’s diagnosis shows COVID is “not nearly as lethal as the experts told us it would be.”
