A Trump supporter at his North Carolina rally questioned the legitimacy of the deadly coronavirus and said it doesn't exist.

At President Donald Trump's rally in Charlotte ahead of Super Tuesday, NBC reporter Monica Alba took to the bustling crowd of ardent Republicans to ask them their thoughts on coronavirus.

At the previous Trump rally in North Charleston, South Carolina, one Trump supporter called the coronavirus a 'nothing burger.'

So far, the coronavirus has killed 3,000 people and infected at least 90,000 people worldwide.

The United States confirmed six coronavirus-related deaths in King County, Washington, this weekend. There are at least 91 cases of Americans sick with the virus across the country.

A Trump supporter (right) attending the president's North Carolina rally Monday night said she does not believe coronavirus is real

One woman told Alba that she does not believe coronavirus is real or that it was the reason two patients died in Washington.

'I don't trust anything that Democrats do or say,' the woman said, rationalizing that coronavirus is simply a liberal-based hoax.

Alba points out that Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, as well as bipartisan agencies and lawmakers on both sides have recognized the validity of COVID-19. Still, she did not sway from her opinion.

A second woman revealed she isn't at all worried about the coronavirus because she is divinely protected.

'We're under protection,' the woman told Alba reassuringly. 'We're under protection from Psalms 91 and God is out protector.'

She added that she's happy with Trump's response thus far and blames the media for supposedly inflating the situation.

'I'm very pleased without president's response so far. I think the media made it a larger thing than what it should be and I think they're trying to incite fear and panic in the public,' she said.

One man said that he does believe coronavirus is credible and that actions must be taken to ensure it's overcome.

He said: 'I believe this is a valid virus that's spreading around the world and we've got to do something to protect ourselves.'

The man also admitted that while he did not feel comfortable being in the crowd of 9,000 rally attendees, he arrived to show support for Trump.

The man may have been confident in attending the rally in part by Trump's assertion that attending rallies was 'very safe' at this time.

Since the coronavirus popped up in the Hubei province of Wuhan, China, in late December, health officials have been scrambling to put a lid on its rapid spread and determine what caused the sudden outbreak.

While the source of coronavirus is still being determined, lawmakers like Republican Sen. Cotton are pushing conspiracy theories despite repeated rebukes from officials.

On Fox News, Cotton suggested coronavirus originated from a a biological warfare laboratory in Wuhan.

'This virus did not originate in the Wuhan market,' Cotton said, referring to a belief that it may have spawned from a live animal market.

Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton has accused China of lying and refusing to hand over all the information they have about the origins of the coronavirus outbreak as he suggested it could be linked to a laboratory

'We don't know where it originated and we have to get to the bottom of that.'

He acknowledged there was no evidence of links between the lab and the outbreak but Cotton went on to reference the close proximity of the market.

'We also know that just a few miles away from that food market is China's only biosafety level 4 super laboratory that researches human infectious diseases,' he said.

'Now, we don't have evidence that this disease originated there, but because of China's duplicity and dishonesty from the beginning, we need to at least ask the question to see what the evidence says.

'And China right now is not giving any evidence on that question at all.'

Cotton took to Twitter on Sunday to address claims he was peddling conspiracy theories by linking the lab and outbreak. He listed several hypotheses about the coronavirus outbreak, including natural, deliberate and scientific causes

Cotton also accused China of lying about the outbreak.

'The situation is very grave in part because... China was lying from the beginning, and they're still lying today.'

Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. Cui Tiankai called out Cotton for trying to draw a connection between coronavirus and a laboratory.

Tiankai told CBS' Face the Nation: 'I think it's true that a lot is still unknown and our scientists, Chinese scientists, American scientists, scientists of other countries, are doing their best to learn more about the virus, but it's very harmful, it's very dangerous, to stir up suspicion, rumors and spread them among the people.'

'For one thing, this will create panic. There are all kinds of speculation and rumors... How can we believe all these crazy things?'

Cotton later went on Twitter to share several hypothesis on how coronavirus began, including bad science, natural and deliberate release as reasons.

California Congress candidate Joanna Wright also shared an unsubstantiated claim that the coronavirus is a man made creation.

'The Corona virus is a man made virus created in a Wuhan laboratory. Ask [Bill Gates] who financed it,' she wrote on Twitter.

Joanne Wright suggested the coronavirus is a man made virus created in a Wuhan, China, laboratory

This is in reference to another Tweet where she said: 'Doesn’t [BillGates] finance research at the Wuhan lab where the Corona virus was being created? Isn’t [George Soros] a good friend of Gates? Isn’t it always when Hillary Clinton tweets that fire and brimstone hits us? Check Gates Foundation and Clinton Foundation for stock sells.'

In the U.S., health officials in Washington state announced on Monday that four people had died in the Seattle area in addition to the two other patients in that same area who died over the weekend.

Five of the six deaths have been linked to the LifeCare long-term aged care facility in Kirkland in King County.

The coronavirus death toll in the U.S. has now climbed to six. Five of the six deaths have been linked to the LifeCare (above) long-term aged care facility in Kirkland just outside Seattle in Washington state

This includes a man in his 70s who was a resident of the LifeCare long-term care facility in Kirkland and had coronavirus had died the day before.

On Saturday, the department had reported the first death of a coronavirus patient in the United States, a man in his 50s who was living in Kirkland - the same city where the nursing home is located.

Eight of the 18 confirmed coronavirus cases in Washington state have been residents or workers at LifeCare.

The sixth victim was from nearby Snohomish county. Officials say at least four of the six people who have died were elderly and/or had underlying health conditions.

News of the additional deaths came after Dr Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told NBC News on Monday that the disease had likely reached 'pandemic proportions' as 100 cases were confirmed across the U.S.

About 50 residents and workers are being tested - several confirmed - and there is fear the virus will spread to anyone who visited the building.

'We're dealing with an evolving situation. We're dealing with clearly an emerging infectious disease that has now reached outbreak proportions and likely pandemic proportions,' Dr Fauci said. 'If you look at multiple definitions of what a pandemic is... multiple sustained transmissions of of a highly infectious agent in multiple regions of the globe.'

Dr Fauci went on to say the U.S. might need to consider social mitigation, including closing down schools and not allowing events where large crowds are in confined spaces.

'We're not ready for it right now but we need to be at least thinking about the possibility,' he said in the interview that will air in full on NBC Nightly News on Monday.

Trump and members of his Cabinet later met with Dr Fauci and executives of 10 pharmaceutical companies at the White House on Monday afternoon to learn ways to speed the development of a vaccine for the coronavirus.

During the meeting Trump reportedly said he had been told a vaccine would be completed in three to four months but Dr Fauci later confirmed that any vaccine would not be ready to hand out for at least a year.

It comes after a New York doctor warned coronavirus cases in the U.S. will surge into the thousands by next week and the former head of the FDA claimed three critical weeks were lost in containing the spread of the virus due to faulty test kits given out by the government.

Health officials have been scrambling to get their own coronavirus testing kits up and running after getting stuck with faulty tests from the federal government that they said left them unable to diagnose people quickly.

State and local authorities are now also stepping up testing for the illness as the number of new cases grew to 100across the U.S. on Monday, with new infections announced in California, Florida, Illinois, Rhode Island, New York and Washington state.

New York confirmed its first coronavirus case on Sunday as a female healthcare worker in her 30s who returned from Iran last week and is now being quarantined in her Manhattan home.

Florida late Sunday declared a public health emergency as it confirmed its first two cases, while Rhode Island announced its two cases - two people who had returned from a school trip to Italy - had prompted the closure of a school so it could be sanitized.

Dr Matt McCarthy, who is a staff physician at the New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan, has claimed he doesn't have the tools to properly care for patients because of the lack of coronavirus tests being made available to hospitals.

He told CNBC's Squawk Box on Monday that the bungled test distribution was a 'national scandal' and claimed New York had only been able to properly carry out 32 tests so far.

'We hear it's coming very soon but I'm here to tell you that at one of the busiest hospitals in the country, I don't have it at my finger tips. I still have to call the department of health, I still have to make my case and plead to test people,' he said.

'This is not good. We know that there are (91) cases in the United States. There are going to hundreds by middle week, there's going to be thousands by next week. This is a testing issue.'

He said the infectious disease team at his hospital, one of the busiest in the country, was equipped to deal with the outbreak but were crippled by the lack of diagnostic tests being made available by the government.

'Keep in mind in New York state the person who tested positive is only the 32nd test we've done in this state. That is a national scandal,' he said. 'They're testing 10,000 a day in some countries and we can't get this off the ground.

'I'm a practitioner on the firing line and I don't have the tools to properly care for patients today.'
