Nah, I'm sure this was the US. It was very early on too. I saw it as a press conference where someone from a Health Department was being asked questions. Then saw it a few more times with public commentary about how ridiculous it was. Can't find it at the moment though.

At the time Trump was very critical of how statistics were being gathered. Made many comments about the same thing, that unrelated deaths were causing figures to be over exaggerated.
