Donald Trump denies US has most coronavirus deaths and says 'strange things are happening' in China

Donald Trump says that "a lot of strange things are happening" regarding the origins of the coronavirus and claims that China has far more deaths than its figures suggest.

Mr Trump cast doubt on China's official death toll, which was revised up on Friday. China said 1,300 people who died of the coronavirus in the Chinese city of Wuhan - half the total - were not counted, but dismissed allegations of a cover-up.

The US president said on Friday that many more people must have died in China than in the US, which is currently the epicentre of the global pandemic and has reported the largest number of deaths in the world linked to the virus.

"We don't have the most in the world deaths," Mr Trump said.

China. Considering the head start they had, how could we have passed them as spotty as our testing has been? I did a search and couldn't find clear numbers by country for total people tested. Of course what really matters is per capita testing.
