The Number Of Deaths In Each U.S. State And Territory

On Sunday, Donald Trump abandoned his rosy forecast for the Coronavirus in the United States. Instead of claiming it was a hoax, or would be quickly dealt with, he is now saying that there could be between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths --  if the social distancing measures are effective.

He says if the number of deaths are kept down to 100,000 or fewer, then his administration would have done a very good job. He's wrong. His administration has done a very poor job, and they still seem to have a chaotic and ever-changing agenda for dealing with the epidemic.

If the number of deaths is kept low (hopefully far less than 100,000), it will be due to many governors and mayors stepping up to take action while the Trump administration delayed acting.

The Washington Post has established a free page that keeps track of the number of deaths (and cases) in each of the states.
