Trump says there will be ‘a lot of death’ over the next two weeks

President Trump said that this week and next will probably be the toughest in the fight against coronavirus and that “there will be a lot of death.”

While speaking at the coronavirus task force briefing on Saturday, Trump painted a grim picture of the next two weeks, but added that there will be less death than if certain mitigation steps were not taken.

“This will be probably the toughest week between this week and next week, and there will be a lot of death, unfortunately, but a lot less death than if this wasn’t done but there will be death,” Trump said.
