Almost 3,000 daily deaths in the US by early June - Trump administration model projects
The projection is based on modeling by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and pulled together in chart form by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
A projection by US President Donald Trump's administration showed deaths in the US more than doubling by early June.
The projection shows a steady rise in the number of cases and deaths from coronavirus over the next several weeks, reaching about 3,000 daily deaths on June 1 - nearly double from the current level of about 1,750, reports the New York Times.
Based on modeling by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and pulled together in chart form by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the projection forecasted about 200,000 new cases each day by the end of the month, up from about 25,000 cases now.
