It is an honor to have the highest number of positive cases in the world: Donald Trump

Washington, Ta. 20 May 2020, Wednesday

US President Donald Trump has made a bizarre statement about the Corona virus infection, which has drawn criticism. He says it is an honor to have the highest number of coronary heart disease cases in the world. "I do not think it is wrong to say that we are at the forefront of the transition process," he told the White House on Tuesday. That means we've done more tests than anyone else. This is a good thing, it shows that our test is good. I see it as an honor. '

According to the data, more than 1.57 million cases of Covid-19 have been reported in the US so far. More than 93,000 people have died since then. Then in second place is Russia where more than three lakh people are positive for corona.

Trump's statement has been criticized by the Democratic National Committee. "The fact that there are more than one million cases of corona in the country is a failure of our leadership," the committee said. Earlier, questions about the test were also raised at a Senate meeting last week.

As of Tuesday, 16 million corona tests had been performed in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control. According to the data, America is far behind in testing. The United States ranks 16th in the world for testing every 1,000 people. The US lags behind countries like Iceland, New Zealand, Russia and Canada in the list. In the last one week, America has done three to four lakh tests every day.
