WATCH - Moment Hurricane Hanna destroyed part of Donald Trump's 'indestructible' wall (video)

-


Some Twitter users pointed out that Trump boasted a few weeks ago that his wall is "the most powerful and comprehensive border wall structure" in the world. However, others questioned the validity of the footage.

 

Mexican news outlet Debate claimed in an article that the video was filmed at a section of the wall dividing Texas from Ciudad Camargo in the state of Tamaulipas. 

 

However, Washington Post reporter Nick Miroff refuted that report in a tweet, saying that Customs and Border Patrol officials told him the video was not recorded in the Rio Grande Valley. 

 

Miroff wrote: "Unclear where it was filmed, but based on desert terrain, daytime recording and style of bollards, I'm guessing these are images of a monsoon out west, prob Arizona."

The United States' top infectious disease expert, Dr Anthony Fauci has said that people should wear googles for complete protection from Covid-19 as the virus can enter the body through any mucosal surface - including the mouth, nose or eyes.   According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Coronavirus is primarily contagious through respiratory droplets expelled when people cough or sneeze, but growing evidence suggests that droplets from just regular speaking or breathing may be able to spread the disease too.    These droplets can get into the eyes, too, according to Dr Fauci. 'If you have goggles or an eye shield, you should use it,' Dr Fauci told ABC News in an Instagram Live interview.
