Contrary to Trump's assurance, the U.S. isn't 'rounding the corner' on the coronavirus

During a news conference Friday he offered an assurance that should by now seem familiar to any sentient American: All of this will soon be behind us.

“By the way,” Trump said, after disparaging former vice president Joe Biden’s rhetoric on the issue, “we’re rounding the corner. We’re rounding the corner on the virus.”

A reporter pressed him on the point.

“I wanted to ask you about a forecast that has come out from the IHME at the University of Washington,” he said. “They are forecasting by, January the first of next year, that we’ll have 410,000 American deaths from coronavirus, which is 225,000 from where we are right now. So can you explain how you see us rounding the corner, based upon that projection?”
