The United States is by far the country with the most identified coronavirus infections. For US President Trump, this is not a flaw, on the contrary. Trump sees this more as a confirmation of good tests.
US President Donald Trump can benefit from the large number of proven corona infections in the United States – more than 1.5 million. He doesn’t consider it a “bad thing” that there are so many detected infections in the country. “I consider it a good thing in some ways because it means our tests are much better,” Trump said in the White House. “I consider it an award, really, it’s an award.” If you test nearly 14 million people like in the United States, you can find more cases, he said.
Trump repeatedly points out that much more is tested in the United States than in other countries.
Almost one in three of the almost 4.9 million confirmed infections worldwide is in the United States, where around 330 million people live. There is no other country with a proven infection rate. The number of cases in the individual countries can only be compared to a limited extent due to the different test rates and the expected high number of unreported cases.
