White House Coronavirus Task Force Warns Pence: Take Action or Risk 2,000 Deaths a Day by Christmas

Doctors on the White House Coronavirus Task Force have reportedly delivered a dire warning to Vice President Mike Pence: If the Trump administration doesn’t change course now, then the United States could be recording 2,000 COVID-19 deaths by Christmas. The group met Pence for a meeting Tuesday and senior administration officials familiar with what was discussed gave details to CBS News. Doctors reportedly said next week could see the U.S. recording 1,500 deaths a day, and that could rise to 2,000 by the end of December.
