If you look at the lethality of CV, without protective measures it’s much like doubling cancer or heart disease to society. That’s just unimaginably awful. And we think of the future of CV as being unrestrained until there’s a vaccine. I disagree. We are taking serious measures against the spread of the virus. And I do firmly believe that CV will be seasonally suppressed in the upcoming spring/summer/fall seasons, as do other similar viruses. We will endure terrible losses in this next month. But there is a light ahead.

Trump at a hypothetical 2016 campaign rally:

“If I am elected, I will fight to finally end Obamacare, and I will fail.

I will pull our troops out of Syria without consulting anyone first, leaving our regional allies to be slaughtered. I will personally bring back ISIS” “I will engage China in a tariff war, and lose bigly. I will screw over so many American farmers and then spend billions to cover it up.

Speaking over cover-ups, I will hire an Attorney General who will squash the Mueller investigation....and bury any legal obstacles for me”
