Before May 1, the next highest U.S. daily death toll was 2,471 reported on April 23, according to the WHO. State officials have previously warned that data on Covid-19 deaths are difficult to analyze because they often represent patients who became ill and were hospitalized weeks ago.

US endures worst one-day death toll yet as states reopen
By Marty Johnson - 05/02/20 07:32 PM EDT
The U.S. saw its largest one-day death toll from the coronavirus pandemic to date on Thursday as several states began to reopen parts of their economies.
According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), 2,909 people in the U.S. died on Thursday, shattering the previous record of 2,471 deaths reported on April 23, CNBC reported.
The grim news comes as Americans grow weary of the stay-at-home measures that have shuttered businesses and put millions of people out of work. State leaders around the country continued to see protests from demonstrators who want to reopen the economy and return to their jobs. Demonstrations took place in California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Tennessee and Washington on Friday.
Many demonstrators believe stay-at-home orders are impinging on their constitutional rights and freedoms.

According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO),
Stop right there.

OK, stipulating that the data is correct, did most of the deaths happen in states that are re-opening? Or is this a correlation without causation politics-driven statistics game?

Here's the stat that makes me thinking something's amiss....
United States percentage of world population- 4.2%
United States share of COVID-19 cases in the world- 32.8%

Suspicious.... Looking at the figures for today and the WHO says the US has had 5000 deaths and it is only noon????

That's an example of why I included "stipulating that the data is correct" in my post above. 1. The source of the claim is WHO. 2. Anyone who believes China's or Iran's data needs to be protected from sellers of the Brooklyn and Golden Gate Bridges. 3. Several US states have been caught or called out for padding their death stats. 4. The source of the claim is WHO.

Exactly.

You can't listen to WHO. They dream about a world-wide virus that would put THEM in charge of the entire planet.
