The final face off between Donald Trump and Joe Biden covered a wide range of issues

Reality Check

Trump said the excess mortality rate in the US is “much lower than almost any other country".

'Excess mortality' is a measure of how many extra deaths a country experiences above the number expected in a normal year.

The latest numbers out of the US show there were almost 300,000 excess deaths since the start of this year.

Making international comparisons is tricky, as countries record deaths in different ways.

Other countries also publish excess death data less frequently, but a recent study by Oxford University showed Europe’s excess death rate, accounting for March to July, was 28% below the US rate.

Reality Check has looked at US excess mortality compared to the other developed countries. While the US had a lower proportion of excess deaths than some countries - such as the UK - it was significantly higher than others.

Face-off between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris covered coronavirus, the economy and the environment.

Reality Check

During the debate, there were testy exchanges about the future of fracking - the controversial technique used for extracting shale gas from underground.

Vice-President Pence said the Democrats "want to ban fracking, which would cost hundreds of thousands of American jobs".

His opponent replied: "Joe Biden will not end fracking."

Pence then claimed that Harris had "said on multiple occasions, when you were running for president, that you would ban fracking."

So what are the facts?

In August 2020, Biden said "I am not banning fracking. Let me say that again: I am not banning fracking."

However, in March 2020, during a Democratic debate, he said “No more — no new fracking.”

At the time the campaign team clarified Biden’s position: a pledge to ban “new oil and gas permitting on public lands and waters.” They said this would allow existing fracking to continue.

Meanwhile, at a CNN town hall event in September 2019, Harris said: "There’s no question, I’m in favour of banning fracking."

Videos of the India-China border stand-off have been circulating - but they are not what they claim to be.

The President's diagnosis caused a wave of rumour, speculation and misinformation online.

Some commentators say rising cases are just because of false positive results. But that's not true.
