    AP

    This undated electron microscope image made available by the U.S. National Institutes of Health in February 2020 shows the Novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, orange, emerging from the surface of cells, gray, cultured in the lab.

    Outliers knows these are stressful times for healthcare workers, and we appreciate the sacrifices of those on the front lines combating the COVID-19 outbreak.

    d) California Gold Nutrition

    7) Which of the following did President Donald Trump not say?

    a) “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
    b) “If we have thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work—some of them go to work, but they get better.”
    c) “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test.”
    d) “Americans should be prepared that they are going to have to hunker down significantly more than we as a country are doing.”

    8) Match the person with their COVID-19 quote or tweet:
