Trump says up to 100,000 Americans may die from coronavirus via nanditab1 peteschroeder
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he now believes as many as 100,000 Americans could die in the coronavirus pandemic, after the death toll passed his earlier estimates, but said he was confident a vaccine would be developed by the year’s end.
About half the states have now moved toward at least partial lifting of shutdowns as the number of new cases of the COVID-19 illness has begun to drop or level off and as citizens agitate for relief from restrictions that have sent the economy into a tailspin.Trump has criticized FOX recently, casting the conservative-leaning network as insufficiently supportive.

“We will be doing infrastructure and I told Steve just today we are not doing anything unless we get a payroll tax cut,” Trump said.
