I wouldn't be surprised at all if the U.S. has a negative growth rate in 2020 due to COVID. The country grew by about 1M in 2019, which was already relatively slow. There are already more than 200K confirmed deaths due to COVID, and who knows how many unconfirmed. Combine that with typical deaths from other causes, along with zero immigration due to closed borders, and negative growth for the U.S. is well within the realm of possibility.
