The U.S. on Thursday had more than 236,000 confirmed cases, more than twice the amount in any other country. That number will continue to rise: Over the next couple of months, models project 100,000 to 240,000 U.S. deaths among millions of confirmed cases. As many as 2,000 people in the U.S. could die each day in mid-April, according to a White House model—even as vital measures keeping people apart slow the spread of the disease and prevent a worst-case scenario in the country.
