Question from CNN Anchor Chris Wallace: 

And which leads me to a question I wanted to ask you, which is, as I'm sure all of the crowd knows you were very much singled out for your role in the pandemic and imposing strict lock-downs only in the hope of saving people's lives, you weren't doing it for any partisan political reason, you thought this was the best science. And as a result of all of that, you were the target of bullying by the President, attacks by him, plots to kidnap you or worse, and do you see any possibility out there for lowering the temperature and creating a more positive political discourse?
