Vice President Pence, who’s running point on the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus, said Sunday “it is possible” that more people in the US could die from the global epidemic.

Pence told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that “there will be more cases” in the country. “There’s no question.”

And while the “vast majority” will recover, the veep added to CNN’s “State of the Union” that “it is possible” others will die, too.

A man in Washington state died of the virus Saturday — the first fatality from the bug in the country — and the US has 71 confirmed cases, said the federal Centers for Disease Control and Protection.

“People who have other conditions that would militate toward a worse outcome, we could have more sad news,” Pence said.

“But the American people should know the risk for the average American remains low.”

In the NBC interview, host Chuck Todd told Pence it isn’t “reassuring” that one out of 22 people worldwide who have the disease will die.

There are roughly 87,000 coronavirus cases globally.

Pence said health experts told him the country would be in a “different place” if President Trump has not decided to suspend all travel from China into the US and quarantine people returning from China.

Trump in a tweet on Sunday said the administration would expand on the screening measures announced a day before.

“Coronavirus: In addition to screening travelers “prior to boarding” from certain designated high-risk countries, or areas within those countries, they will also be screened when they arrive in America. Thank you!,” he posted.

Pence, at a press conference on Saturday at the White House, said the administration was putting travel restrictions in place on Iran, Italy and South Korea, where mass outbreaks were reported.

The vice president said Trump wants a “whole government” response to the crisis.

“We’re going to bring the best scientific minds, experts together, and we’re going to, we’re going to work every day to, to contain this disease, to treat those that are contracted,” Pence said on NBC. ” And I’m very confident we’re ready, and I know, and I know that we’ll get through this.”
