Donald Trump said he now believes as many as 100,000 Americans could die in the coronavirus pandemic, after the death toll passed his earlier estimates.
The US president, however, expressed confidence that a vaccine would be developed by the year's end.
Mr Trump alternated during a two-hour virtual town hall broadcast between forecasting a rapid recovery for the US economy and casting blame for the pandemic's spread on China, where the disease is believed to have originated.
There's been more than 1.1 million coronavirus cases in the United States, and more than 67,000 have died.
The UAE on Sunday announced it has carried out 26,000 new tests for the coronavirus in the past 24 hours, uncovering 564 new cases, with 99 recoveries and seven deaths.

What vitamins do we know are beneficial for living in the UAE
Vitamin D: Highly relevant in the UAE due to limited sun exposure; supports bone health, immunity and mood.
Vitamin B12: Important for nerve health and energy production, especially for vegetarians, vegans and individuals with absorption issues.
Iron: Useful only when deficiency or anaemia is confirmed; helps reduce fatigue and support immunity.
Omega-3 (EPA/DHA): Supports heart health and reduces inflammation, especially for those who consume little fish.
Muslim Council of Elders condemns terrorism on religious sites
The Muslim Council of Elders has strongly condemned the criminal attacks on religious sites in Britain.
It firmly rejected “acts of terrorism, which constitute a flagrant violation of the sanctity of houses of worship”.
“Attacking places of worship is a form of terrorism and extremism that threatens peace and stability within societies,” it said.
The council also warned against the rise of hate speech, racism, extremism and Islamophobia. It urged the international community to join efforts to promote tolerance and peaceful coexistence.
