CHINA/CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/ECONOMY: “We have record-setting job growth and everything else, but we got hit by the plague from China [coronavirus] and that set us back. We were having the best year we’ve ever had, the best numbers, the best stock markets, which are frankly, getting close to being the best already again. But we got hit and we’re doing a really good job on that, and I think very soon, you’re going to see some fantastic news in terms of vaccines and therapeutics, and just fighting it the way we’ve been fighting it. We built ventilators, we did all sorts of things that nobody thought frankly were possible.”
