President Trump says 80,000 to 90,000 people in the US could die from coronavirus, a marked increase from what he'd said previously
President Donald Trump said Sunday that the US coronavirus death toll could reach 80,000 to 90,000, a considerable upward shift from his previous estimates last month.
While praising the US response to the outbreak during a Fox News town hall, Trump said,"That's one of the reasons we're successful, if you call losing 80 or 90,000 people successful.""But it's one of the reasons we're not at the high end of that plane as opposed to the low end of the plane," the President continued.
