If any of you are wondering how Benford's Law applies to COVID-19 data to see which countries omitted or added numbers to their reported data, yes, someone already did some research and published it. Yes, some counrties have very suspect data including the US. Scroll to the bottom to see some of the charts for daily cases, daily deaths, total deaths, etc.:

Note that the researcher did a "goodness data fit" test to see how closely the data matches up against Benford's law and anything over d=.10 would be suspect. Anything over .2 would be obvious manipulation. The US is over on all categories as well as Russia. Imagine that?
