Remember during the second debate ahead of the 2020 presidential election when President Donald Trump said, “We’re learning to live with Covid” and “We have no choice. We can’t lock ourselves in a basement.”
Here it is again:
Here's a fun little throwback clip from the second debate in light of events to come:

Finally:
Telling quote from normally low-key HHS Secretary Becerra:
