Trump thinks US count is inflated, Dr Fauci says no
- Trump and his aides are privately discussing whether figures used by the administration to determine mortality rates and death projections are reliable indicators for plotting a path forward, according to a CNN report.
- This comes in the wake of what top medical expert on the White House's coronavirus taskforce Dr Anthony Fauci has saying coronavirus-related deaths could be more than what is being recorded as people die at home without going to the hospital.
- Dr Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, also raised concerns with how the country's Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has handled some of its data, including death toll.
- However, Trump in recent past had said, "Our numbers are, essentially certified numbers. "They're individual hospitals they're putting out the numbers. I don't imagine there'd be a very big variation."
- So far, there are 13,88,936 cases in the United States and at least 83,791 people have died.
