Trump and his government have faced objection for their treatment of the pandemic that has taken over 213,000 lives in the country, as well as for a lax approach to mask-wearing and social distancing in the White House. While deaths generally continue to trend downward, the United States is losing on average 700 lives a day. Three states reported a record one-day increase in fatalities on Friday: Arkansas, Missouri and Montana. Health experts caution that deaths are a lagging indicator and usually rise weeks after cases climb. The number of people who succumb to Covid-19 is expected to accelerate this winter.
