He's misleading on ratios concepts because his base is not able to handle division.

Then say "... Per 1 million people, other countries are far worse".

The phrase "per 1 million people" should be easy enough to understand. And those who dont even understand this term are probably nonvoters anyway.

The numbers will never be accurate enough either way so its a fools game to argue about.
None of these numbers account for non-citizens, or illegals or or or or or.... Its a numbers game, give me a rough estimate and I'll live with it.

This looks cool.

Looks like on a per person basis, we got a late start and have been middle of the road

It's cool, no doubt. Still breaks it down to a per capita basis, when it's obvious Trump is talking in nominal numbers phraseology.

The CDC's excess death figures have been updated since the last one on april... 25th, iirc?
anyway, it says updated May 12th now, and they updated some of the imprecision in the model to display a range instead of a number. The total excess deaths are estimated at 68,774 - 92,742. The number of reported excess deaths prior to weighting has risen from ~12k on april 25th to 31k now, and the week of april 25th to may 1st is almost at the level of expected deaths in those reported alone, with an estimate of only ~80% reported, so its clearly going to be in the excess death range.




dark blue is number of reported deaths. Light blue is the estimated number of yet-to-be-reported deaths

I don't know why anybody cares what he says at this point. His presidency has been a South Park episode from the beginning.
