COVID-19: "There’ll be a lot of death, unfortunately" – Says Trump as US cases pass 300k
President Donald Trump has warned the United States is entering what could be its "toughest" week yet as the number of coronavirus cases in the country surged past 300,000.
"There will be a lot of death, unfortunately," he told reporters at the White House on Saturday. "This will be probably the toughest week - between this week and next week."
More than 8,000 people have died in the US from the respiratory illness caused by the new coronavirus, known as COVID-19.
The state of New York, where the virus has killed more than 3,500 people, reported another record in its daily toll - 630 deaths - on Saturday.
