New coronavirus clusters have surfaced around the world as nations struggle to balance restarting their economies and preventing infections.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on Twitter that after analyzing 13 different forecasting models of potential COVID-19 deaths in the U.S., all models indicate an increase in coronavirus fatalities in the coming weeks with a cumulative death toll exceeding 100,000 by June 1.
The grim prediction came just hours before President Donald Trump announced Friday at a Rose Garden event that he is hopeful to have a coronavirus vaccine on the market and distributed by the Department of Defense by the end of the year.
