Trump says keeping U.S. coronavirus deaths to 100,000 would be sign of a 'very good job'

Speaking in the White House Rose Garden on Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump said that, if his administration keeps the death toll from coronavirus to 100,000, it will have done "a very good job."

It took a month for the U.S. to move from its first confirmed death, on February 29, to its 1,000th. But in two days this week that number doubled, to over 2,600 on Sunday. 

As he announced the extension of federal social distancing guidelines to April 30, Trump also said if the distancing restrictions measures had not been introduced, the country's death toll could have reached 2.2 million.
