While the crash only took place six months ago, I am convinced we have now passed the worst, and with continued unity of effort, we shall rapidly recover, President Herbert Hoover, April, 1930, as the Depression deepened.

This thing's going away. It will go away like things go away, President Donald Trump, August, 2020, when the U.S. death toll in the coronvirus pandemic was climbing over 156,000.
