White House projects 100,000-240,000 US deaths from coronavirus

Al Jazeera  

Trump calls efforts to slow the spread of the virus ‘a matter of life and death’ and warns of a ‘rough’ two weeks ahead. The White House projected 100,000 to 240,000 deaths in the United State from the coronavirus pandemic even if current social distancing guidelines are maintained. President Donald Trump called US efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus “a matter of life and death” and urged the public to heed his administration’s social distancing guidelines. “We’re going to go through a very tough two weeks.” The comments came after Trump announced Sunday that he was extending to April 30 the social distancing guidelines that urged Americans to cease social gatherings, work from home, suspend onsite learning at schools and more in a nationwide effort to stem the spread of the virus. It was an abrupt reversal for Trump, who spent much of last week targeting April 12 as the day he wanted to see Americans “pack the pews” for Easter Sunday services.
