“Dr. Deborah Birx, the coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force, said on Friday that she expected to soon see an increase in deaths among Americans infected with the virus—a statement placing her at odds with President Donald Trump, who has touted a falling death rate as a sign of success in his approach to the virus” the Daily Beast reports.
“‘In the United States we have an increase in the number of cases over the last particularly three weeks,’ Birx said during a virtual COVID-19 conference. ‘We have not seen this result in increased mortality but that is expected as the disease continues to spread in some of our large metro areas.'”
