2/27/20 - “Only a very small number in U.S., & China numbers look to be going down. All countries working well together!”

2/28/20 - “I think it’s really going well. We did something very fortunate: we closed up to certain areas of the world very, very early — far earlier than we were supposed to. I took a lot of heat for doing it. It turned out to be the right move, and we only have 15 people ..."

2/28/20 (continued) "and they are getting better, and hopefully they’re all better. There’s one who is quite sick, but maybe he’s gonna be fine. … We’re prepared for the worst, but we think we’re going to be very fortunate."

3/5/20 - “With approximately 100,000 CoronaVirus cases worldwide, and 3,280 deaths, the United States, because of quick action on closing our borders, has, as of now, only 129 cases (40 Americans brought in) and 11 deaths.”

3/11/20 - “I think we’re going to get through it very well.”

3/12 “It’s going to go away .. The United States, because of what I did and what the administration did with China, we have 32 deaths at this point .. when you look at the kind of numbers that you’re seeing coming out of other countries, it’s pretty amazing when you think of it.”

3/13/20 - “I don’t take responsibility at all"

3/15/20 - “This is a very contagious virus. It’s incredible. But it’s something that we have tremendous control over.”
