3) 1/30: “WE HAVE IT VERY WELL UNDER CONTROL. We have very little problem in this country - five - and those people are all recuperating.. But we’re working closely with China & other countries, & we think it’s going to have a very good ending for us… I can assure you” #COVID19

4) 2/10: “the virus we’re talking about having to do, you know, a lot of people think it goes away in April with the heat, as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. WE'RE IN GREAT SHAPE. We have 12 cases — 11 cases, many of them are in good shape now.” #COVID19

7) 2/26: “So WE'RE AT THE LOW LEVEL. As they get better, we take them off the list, so that we’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And WE COULD BE AT JUST ONE OF TWO PEOPLE over the next short period of time. So, we’ve had very good luck”

17) On April 3, 2020, the US exceeded 275,000 cases and 7000 deaths. While the outbreak spreads and doctors, #nurses, and #healthworkers lack masks, #PPE, and ventilators, @jaredkushner brags about "his" stockpile.
