Donald Trump has once again changed his coronavirus deaths prediction to 'hopefully' under 100,000
"Hopefully we're going to come in under that 100,000 lives lost," the US president said on Friday before leaving the White House for a weekend at Camp David.
After weeks ago saying up to 200,000 Americans are likely to pass away from the coronavirus, then saying around 60,000 people would die, the president on Friday again revised his death toll estimate. He also again criticised GOP Georgia governor Brian Kemp, who Mr Trump says went too far with his order to reopen that state, which could now be a 2020 presidential election swing state.
One Quinnipiac University poll taken earlier this month shows 52% of older voters disapproving of Mr Trump's handling of the outbreak; that's up from 48% the previous month. He held only one daily coronavirus press briefing, on Monday, instead holding more shorter events during which he took questions from reporters and giving afternoon remarks, also taking questions.
