"We lead the world in confirmed cases. We lead the world in deaths."
Rating
The US does have the highest number of cases and deaths in the world. But it also has a larger population than many other countries. If you look at deaths per capita - as a proportion of each country's population - the US is no longer top of the list but remains in the top 10 worst hit countries.
