JESSE WATTERS: You want to know how I really feel about the coronavirus, Juan? If I get it, I'll beat it.

I'm not lying. It's called the power of positive thinking and I think America needs to wake up to that. I live in Manhattan, I got off work the other night, went straight to the subway. Asian guy sits down to me -- mask on. What do I do? Finish the ride, then I go home and I order Chinese food. I'm not afraid of the coronavirus and no one else should be that afraid either.
