President Trump claimed on Friday that China was minimizing the number of deaths it has suffered from the coronavirus, disputing figures that showed the United States had suffered more fatalities from the disease.
According to a reputable coronavirus tracking tool compiled by the Johns Hopkins University, there have been more than 36,000 deaths in the United States from COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus. The number of reported deaths in China, where the pandemic originated in December 2019, currently stands at 4,632. “We don’t have the-most-in-the-world deaths,” Trump said during Friday’s briefing of the White House coronavirus task force.
The president did not offer evidence to back up that assertion, but his argument is at least partially bolstered by China’s admission on Friday that it had undercounted the number of deaths in Wuhan, the southeastern city where the outbreak appears to have begun in a so-called wet market. It raised the number of deaths there by 1,290, bringing the reported total to 3,869.
