Per capita the US does not lead the world in testing as Trump claims. We are ranked 41st

[Quixote1818]

The US is 41st in testing per capita with only 29,000 tests per million people compared to Iceland which tests 160,000 per million https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

And Iceland isn't even number one. It's the Faeroe Islands. LOL with 175,000 tests per million. No, they don't have a million people but you get the idea.

if you subtract out all nations under 1 million, it is 30th
