The White House projected the U.S. could face 100,000 to 240,000 deaths from the coronavirus pandemic, as President Trump warned Americans to brace for an unprecedented crisis in the days ahead.
“This could be a hell of a bad two weeks,” Mr. Trump said during a briefing at the White House on Tuesday afternoon, then quickly expanded upon his own dire assessment: “This is going to be three weeks like we’ve never seen before.”
I can guarantee you that Trump is sad and depressed only about his ratings. He can give two shits about Americans dying.
So... No reopening of businesses by Easter, as you proclaimed? Ok
for the poor, working poor and/or less politically connected....
How is this model possible? If China claims to have less then 4000 deaths, and it started there...
With documented cases now numbering in the thousands from Norrh America, Asia and Europe of coronavirus drug cocktails reversing the virus’s near death experience for patients in just hours; how do we get to 200k deaths projections in the U.S?
How many would have died in three months winter period in a normal year in America unless we have a comparable figure media needs to stop this hysteria Are we saying up to 200,000 extra people will have died as result of virus or are we replacing death by other health conditions
😠what
I’m sorry I heard very clearly a couple weeks ago that it was going from 15 to 0. You obviously must be mistaken.
I hope Trump is wrong.
60-65k people die from pneumonia every yea. Half of potential fatalities will ask not to be treated or resuscitated due to preexisting conditions& age.
Your cavalier attitude a month ago has put this country in serious jeopardy-give the states everything and all the time they need to beat this virus-no political games! And, have medical experts brief us, not you! 🙄🙄
Yes, but those are projections & could change. That was made clear in the briefing.
Prayers from Hong Kong. Please save US and the people. And MakeChinaPay!
It was just a few weeks ago that the Asshole-In-Chief was playing down the threat posed by the corona virus. Now he wants credit if the death toll is less than 250,000?
Oops
Gee, stopping those planes on Jan 31 really helped.
Two weeks Does this mean Easter dinner at the Whitehouse is cancelled ?
a hell of a bad two weeks. is that all he got ?
It may last more than two weeks...
That’s a high price to pay for Trump’s stupidity and incompetence. Thanks, Republicans.
Trump said March: 9 So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that
O God Almighty saves humanity from fear, frustration, suffering, and death.
They gonna need bigger Frig Trucks
Am I doing the math right? If we have 100,000+ more deaths & the mortality rate is .66% that means another 15 Million cases to be reported! That would be a VERY steep ramp up from 161k now!! 🤔😱
He is playing a number game. Firstly tell you that 100,000-250,000 people would die, exagerate the number. When final result comes, it's 10,000-20,000. And he can brag: look, I did a tremendous great job. I saved American. Shame on him
Whoa. If it did, it would bump up against the bottom of the normal death total for flu and pneumonia. Is the too incompetent to realize this?
then certainly China is lying about their numbers. ChinaLiedPeopleDied
If you want to get states to enact stay at home orders, threaten lessened fed funding if they don't and see spikes as a result.
Trump has been a great positive leader....but in the case of ChineseVirusCorona the optimism has backlashed .... His words which were intended to strengthen American souls where taken granted by the freedom loving undisciplined partying community which spread it like 🔥 fire
The MurdochRag reporting truth - does Lachlan know
Thank God President Trump is leading us if the next two weeks will be bad! God bless the USA
What happened to 15? Democrat's hoax? Under control?
The White House fabricates data that100,000 to 240,000 deaths from the coronavirus pandemic.
If only someone had warned Embarrassment Trump about the CoronavirusPandemic besides everyone. So much of this could have been mitigated if we had a competent president.
The U.S. coronavirus is the previous U.S. flu. Trump hid the truth, leading to a worldwide pandemic. In America, the poor will die first of the rich
