U.S-Donald Trump says up to 100,000 Americans may die from coronavirus

U.S. President Donald Trump announced he now assumes as many as 100,000 Americans could die in the coronavirus pandemic, after the death toll surpassed his earlier assessments, but stated he was convinced a vaccine would be produced by the year’s end.

Trump exchanged during a two-hour virtual town hall broadcast by FOX News between forecasting a rapid recovery for the U.S. economy and casting blame for the pandemic’s spread on China, where the disease is believed to have originated.

“We’re going to lose anywhere from 75, 80 to 100,000 people. That’s a horrible thing,” said Trump, who as recently on Friday had said he hoped fewer than 100,000 Americans would die and earlier in the week had talked about 60,000 to 70,000 deaths.
