WASHINGTON – Vice President Mike Pence said in a Wednesday television interview that Italy "may be the most comparable area to the United States" in terms of coronavirus mortality rates and cases.
Pence had been asked on CNN when the Trump administration arrived at its projection discussed in Tuesday's coronavirus task force briefing that 100,000 to 240,000 Americans could die from the disease.
He replied that the administration had modeled "what's happened around the world. We think Italy may be the most comparable area to the United States at this point, for a variety of reasons."
The vice president called the potential range of deaths "heartbreaking."

Dr. Fauci requires security because of the death threats he's received - apparently there are those who take offence when he speaks truth to power and tells the nation what that faction don't want them to hear!
This President had bungled the management of the federal government's response from the start and at every turn - the reality is that much of the nation has lost all confidence that this President has a command of the situation and that he is capable of overcoming his personal demons, take responsibility for dis decisions and to rise to the challenge!
Vice President Pence recently stated that America will be most comparable to Italy in terms of its confirmed cases and mortality rates, referring to the projected loss of life as "heartbreaking" - if one can find a glimmer of hope in that, be my guest!
