BREAKING: U.S. death toll passes 60,000 mark Trump said would mark success in coronavirus fight
The United States passed 60,000 coronavirus deaths on Wednesday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, more than three months earlier than had been predicted by a model the White House has frequently used.Just 10 days ago, Trump said that as many as 60,000 Americans were expected to die from the coronavirus.
To arrive at the 60,000 death benchmark, Trump and the White House were relying on the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation , which estimated 60,308 cumulative deaths during the epidemic’s first wave, which it expected to last through early August. But the UW forecast was lower than many other epidemiological models, drawing criticism from some health experts, who said it was “overly optimistic.”
