CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/EDUCATION: “By closing up, we saved millions, potentially, millions of lives. Could be, a number that we’re actually working on, but it could be 2 to 3 million lives. So we’re at 135,000, which is terrible. One is too much, but we would have had millions of people dead from this curse that came at us, but we did what we had to do. And now we’ll put out the flames as it happens. We have to get the schools open. We have to get everything open. A lot of people don’t want to do that for political reasons, not for other reasons.”
-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump in Press Conference,” whitehouse.gov, July 14, 2020
