As the number of people killed by COVID-19 in the US reached 56,144, US President Donald Trump has raised the forecast for deaths from the deadly disease sweeping the world to 70,000. "It's far too many... one person is too many for this," Trump said on Monday. "But if you look at what original projections were, 2.2 million, we are probably heading to 60,000 to 70,000," he said raising the forecast from the 50,000 to 60,000 he made eight days ago. Some of the early models had predicted up to 2.2 million COVID-19 deaths in the US if adequate measures like social distancing were not taken.
