On worldometer, you can sort each column that they present.

4. Well, since the death stat in the US is the only thing that is known...

with at least decent certainty, the way I look at the number of deaths is that the US has only 4.39% of the world's population, yet 27% of the deaths.

It is difficult to determine the exact cause of this, but it does reinforce a gut feel that something is horribly wrong in the way this disease is being managed in this country.

Number of cases per country is meaningless, because that is driven by the number of tests, which at this point in time, is not a reliable way to project the number of actual cases, since testing has not been thorough.

Also, countries may be over or understating their deaths, etc.

So what I tend to rely on is US deaths as a percentage of world deaths, vs. the US percentage of the world's population. Assuming that the deaths shown for the US are correct, that statistic is very grim.

All that aside, the entire point of my OP was to stress the disingenuous statistic of "total number of tests" that Trump repeats on a daily basis.That number is meaningless without context.
