Trump warns that there will be 'a lot of death' in coming weeks amid COVID-19 outbreak

President Trump on Saturday warned that the United States is approaching what could be the
country’s roughest stretch yet amid the escalating coronavirus outbreak.

“This will be probably the toughest week, between this week and next week,” Mr. Trump said at the White House’s daily briefing on the COVID-19 outbreak. “There [will] be a lot of death, unfortunately.”

Mr. Trump said their sole consideration is trying to save lives and chided “certain media outlets” for spreading unspecified false rumors.
