(AP) U.S. President Donald Trump, in an interview with Axios political reporter Jonathan Swan, courtesy of HBO, said the United States has better numbers than many other nations in terms of coronavirus deaths. He pointed out the number of deaths as a percentage of coronavirus cases. When Swan tried to talk about the number of U.S. coronavirus deaths as a percentage of the population, Trump said "You can't do that. You have to go by the cases."

A count kept by Johns Hopkins showed the United States had experienced more than 155,000 coronavirus deaths by Tuesday.
