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.

You mean, every single expert from the beginning has changed their prediction. That's how predictions work.

We keep counting every death as COVID so hospitals can get big check from Government, heck it will be way over 100K.

He is not the messaiah to accurately predict the number of deaths, when there’s so much of variables in play. All we can hope now is to try to minimize the deaths as best as we can and learn about the virus, to better protect Americans in the future.

That’s what leaders do, media frauds: change tactics based new information.

😂

It is not a bad idea to continually review your position. Especially when the variables keep changing.

Once again.... with new data. Imagine him communicating the updated estimates. How dare he.
