The United States has one of the highest rates of COVID-19 deaths per capita in the world. However, President Donald Trump made the false claim that Germany and the United States are the two best in deaths per 100,000 people.
As of May 11, the U.S. had 24.66 deaths per 100,000 people more than two times higher than Germany (9.24 deaths per 100,000), and the 11th highest rate out of the more than 140 countries tracked by Johns Hopkins University.
Trump made his remarks about the per-capita death rates during a May 11 press briefing at the White House.
Trump, May 11: I think one of the things were most proud of is this just came out deaths per 100,000 people, death so deaths per 100,000 people: Germany and the United States are at the lowest rung of that ladder. Meaning, low is a positive, not a negative. Germany and the United States are the two best in deaths per 100,000 people, which, frankly, to me, thats perhaps the most important number there is.
Of the more than 140 countries for which data is available, the U.S. figure for deaths per 100,000 people as of May 11 was the 11th highest and Germanys was the 18th highest. Neither is anywhere near the lowest rung of that ladder.
