One hundred thousand coronavirus deaths in the U.S. is the low estimate.
That figure is the bottom end of the White House’s best-picture scenario of 100,000 to 240,000 deaths, which predicts the U.S. will hit a peak death rate of more than 2,000 deaths per day in mid-April. President Donald Trump warned that this week in particular would be the "toughest."
Already, the death toll in the U.S. has eclipsed that of every country except Italy and Spain.
