COVID-19: US Marks Record Over 2,100 Coronavirus Deaths In One Day
"It looks like we're headed to a number substantially below the 100,000, that would be the low mark," Trump told a White House daily briefing on Friday, reported Xinhua news agency.
New Delhi: The US has become the world's first country to have registered more than 2,000 COVID-19 deaths in a single day with 2,108 fatalities reported in the past 24 hours, while the number of infections in America has crossed 500,000, the highest in the world, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
President Donald Trump said the number of COVID-19 deaths in the United States will be "substantially below the 100,000" figure projected by models last week. "It looks like we're headed to a number substantially below the 100,000, that would be the low mark," Trump told a White House daily briefing on Friday, reported Xinhua news agency. He said the situation in cities like Detroit and New Orleans appears to be stabilizing. Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, said for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, she is seeing a levelling of the curve in the United States. She said that a lot of this is due to an improvement of the situation in New York and mitigation steps individuals took in the New York metro area.
