“An equal-opportunity epidemic, the virus indiscriminately attacks open and closed societies, autocracies and democracies, countries,

developed and war zones, alike. That makes the task of containing it daunting for one not as controlling as President Me.”

“President Me. Actually, I am no match for the microbe now leading the charge against us. Shall we presciently, see, in time that the deadly

coronavirus represents an opportunity, unprecedented. The virus attacks formlessly, like water. To defeat it, like water be.”

“My strategy of publicly downplaying the threat that the virus poses to the United States has been, undermined. The Dow Jones

industrial average — a measure I closely follow, shed more than 1,000 points, its largest drop, in two years. How now, Dow Jones?”

“The CDC now warns that the coronavirus will spread to communities in US. An outbreak in Italy, the worst — outside Asia,

today is spreading, with new cases in Spain, Austria, Croatia, Switzerland and France. But Xi is absolutely, in control, in … Asia.”

“The CDC warns that the coronavirus will spread to communities in US. An outbreak in Italy, the worst — outside Asia, unpredictably,

“New cases beg we question whether, in control, is Xi? Or, for that matter, any man? The CDC warns that the coronavirus will spread to

communities in US. But the warning won’t much matter. Unless we realize from the coronavirus, its opportunities … too.”

“I am no match for this microbe; in cunning and formlessness. Shall we see, in time, that in the coronavirus lies — an opportunity,

unprecedented? In soirée last night Bruce Lee himself, reminded us; if it attacks like water, to defeat it, like water, be.”
