We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world. This is new day. It is wednesday, april 1st, 6 00 here in new york. This morning, we have new projections to share with you. These are the models the white house is using to predict how long the coronavirus will last and how Many Americans will be killed by the time its all over. According to the latest models, even with strict social distancing, 100,000 to 240,000 americans are projected to die from covid19 in the coming weeks.
