*Almost half a million (480,000) Americans are expected to die from coronavirus
*4.8 million will be hospitalized and 96 million infected
*Figures come from leaked slides from a presentation by Dr. James Lawler, a University of Nebraska Medical Center professor and hosted by AHA
*They show the spread of the deadly disease could be far worse than officials claim, with the crisis 10 times greater than a severe flu season
*The shock figures fly in the face of claims made by President Trump who has maintained on many occasions that the risk to Americans is 'low'
*Lawler estimated people with heart conditions have a one in 10 chance of dying from the disease, compared to less than one in a 100 among healthy individuals
*Trump signed a spending bill to allocate $8.3 billion to tackle the crisis Friday
*US has around 300 cases and 17 confirmed deaths, after Florida confirmed its first two deaths Friday
