Jared Kushner, eight months ago today on COVID:

Kushner wasn't the only one making rosy predictions. Here's Kevin Hassett's chart from early May (a few days after Kushner's quote). Infections and deaths were projected to have stopped months ago, and total deaths at 134,475 (count as of today: 335,000)

"While talk of an increase in cases dominates cable news coverage, more than half of states are actually seeing cases decline or remain stable. ... the progress we’ve made is remarkable." is what Mike Pence wrote in June: wsj.com/articles/there…
"We’re going toward 50- or 60,000 people. That’s at the lower--as you know, the low number was supposed to be 100,000 people. We could end up at 50-60." - President Trump, April 20, on his projected total COVID American death toll
