Donald Trump has maintained that the US is beating the rest of the world on the c****av***s death rate, even as thousands of Americans are still dying every week.

Mr Trump’s analysis, which he advanced during a discussion with Axios interviewer Jonathan Swan, is based on deaths as a proportion of cases but ignores deaths per capita — a measure that puts the US among the worst countries in the world.

Asked about why the US is in such a bad situation relative to other countries, Mr Trump shuffled through pieces of paper bearing various charts, and handed Mr Swan a line graph which he said showed the US “lower than the world” in “case death”.

“Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases,” said Mr Swan, inspecting the graph. “I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the US is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, et cetera.”

“You can’t do that!” Mr Trump replied, this time holding a bar graph. “You have to go by — look, here’s the United States — you have to go by the cases.”

“What it says is when you have somebody that — where there’s a case, the people that live from those cases.”

Pressed again on per capita deaths by Mr Swan, who pointed out that the US has fared dramatically worse than South Korea or Germany, Mr Trump returned to testing, protesting that the US does more tests than any other country and asking “don’t we get credit for that?”

It is true that the US has seen a relatively low rate of deaths among those who have tested positive, but as Mr Swan pointed out, the wide disparity in national testing rates makes that figure a dubious indicator of different countries’ progress.

Meanwhile, according to Johns Hopkins university, the US is currently high up the ranking for deaths per capita, with a score of 47.33 confirmed c****av***s deaths per 100,000 people. The US’s total number of deaths sits at more than 154,000, nearly 60,000 ahead of the second-placed country, Brazil.

They've been trying to manage the numbers, not the v***s. There's also a myth that, if you haven't tested positive, you're presumed negative.

Manage????

I'm pretty sure that's not the correct verb...

At this point in time I don't believe any numbers I read ! I wear my mask into stores and avoid crowds as much as possible. I stay home during the week and spend weekends in a remote area away from dense populations. This v***s business is as political as anything can get and will probably be sorted out after the coming e******n ! It seems as 80% of the main stream news is all about (THE V***S ) and I for one am tired of hearing it ! Stop the scare tactics and report the news for Christs sake !
