Facebook has deleted a post in which US President Donald Trump had claimed COVID-19 was "less lethal" than the flu. Trump is at the White House after three days of hospital treatment having tested positive for the virus.

Twitter hid the same message behind a warning about "spreading misleading and potentially harmful information".
