Ben, yes actually the lower tax rates will help businesses, you say people aren't taking loans, but small businesses are to keep the doors open. Plus people are still buying homes, and doing refinances.
its kinda funny trump has zero clue about anything when he is speaking he just says words and then compliments things
How do you feel about Sen. Tom Cotton’s UBI-type bill????
Ben is a selfish Jewish Nazi with a 1 inch cock shilling for banks and big oil.
Lol.... So, the UK have voluntarily made themselves the control group in the experiment?

What would they do if you dined and dashed? You ate there, but you stole the food? Are you good so long as the bill, plus 20% tip, was less than $1,500?

“Bernie and Biden hit each other with their walkers”
Why am I getting flashbacks of that Family Guy scene where the Herbert the Pervert battles the Nazi Lieutenant?
Haha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 perfect!!
LMAO that's a golden comparison!
Becasue your still saying 90s sayings
Can someone tell me how this is worse than the last 19 end-of-the-world issues we've had this millennium?
The media should be held accountable for the hysteria...
Ball Cap Paul I think they will be in November. The virus is real, and dangerous to some, but the panic is overblown. The media want Trump to fail so badly, they will hype this as the Black Plague if they think it will topple him.
There are two things. The main issue is the virus can be carried for so long without showing any symptoms, so you're walking around giving it to people without knowing you have it. Basically EVERYONE is typhoid Mary.
The other problem is the high mortality rate.
It's a combination of the two that make it the biggest problem than we've seen since the Spanish Flu.
Neal Orr agreed, the mortality rate is high, imagine this for example 60.8 million people were infected with swine flu 09-10, only 12k people died in US, now imagine the 3.9% mortality rate applied lol, 2.3 million that would be catastrophic lol
Technically this isn't an end of the world event, it's just a end of all boomers event. Based on the Boomer remover threads many would welcome this
@@doubled99218 it's not 3.9. According to the who it's less than 2% where are you getting that stat. Plus the flu has been deadlier the last 2 years. 34k died this year and over 50k died the year before from the flu and we have a vaccine for both strands
When we finally confirm that this was a chinese bio weapon outbreak, we need to send them a bill. That's a lot of zeroes.
Hear, Hear!
Ya, it would be bad if we found out it was a bio weapon, but it is bad enough just knowing it came from them and could have easily been prevented. A bill isnt good enough, considering they would be paying in worthless Chinese dollars. We need to nuke them economically. We need to ensure that China suffers like no other country has suffered. I want them to be so impovershed from us cutting them off from the world that their people starve to death, and that it gets so bad that they have to have regime change. Things will not change over there unless we REALLY make them hurt.
And then they call in our debt.
@IamRoyalll with that in mind, why should anyone play their student debt, or any debt what so ever?
also, you are kind of blinded by corona virus, since, if this weren't spreading globally, you wouldn't have had payed sick leave . You would've had massive firings.
nuking china is fine and all that, it will also destroy almost every economy on this planet
Sergiu Sprintar I agree calmer heads need to prevail-that being said the CCP needs to be accountable, but the Chinese people shouldn’t suffer unduly, they have very little control of the situation.
Let's look on the bright side, all my finals got cancelled
As a college professor, I accept that challenge
Congratulations! My kiddos are so excited to be home for 2 week.
My classes got cancelled and Im upset. I want school to be over with already
Sad my classes got shut down. I have certain requirements and they could just say we don't pass this semester. I can't delay this degree any more. I doubt my student loans will be suspended because I couldn't complete on time.
I am from Spain and a week ago nobody cared about the coronavirus. Now my country is in complete Lock down...
America, i love you.
Please be safe and be prepared.
By the way, thank you Ben, for keeping me informed and entertained.
@Mike Handy Debbie downer
@Mike Handy I agree. From April 12, 2009, to April 10, 2010, in the United States, there were 60.8 million cases of swine flu, 274,304 hospitalizations and 12,469 deaths, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) . Do you remember such a panic?
@@glennkane6954 Different President. Different political climate. If Trump just let it roll and did nothing until the deaths reached the Swine Flu level, there would be rioting in the streets.
@@albertatrafficante4261 Yet under Obama, a National Emergency was not declared until more than one thousand deaths occurred and I do not remember any riots.
@@glennkane6954 I am going to open up my computer calculator and put those numbers you reported in.
That's a 00.205% death rate
According to the first thing that pops up on Google, Coronavirus has a 3.9% death rate (which I admit is a little higher than most are reporting). If 60.8 million Americans get hit with a 3.9% death rate that comes to 2,390,506 deaths.
Can you see the difference between 12,000 deaths and 1,200,000 deaths?
Ben should have his wife on the show. Someone mentioned she was a doctor
He mentions that almost every time he speaks, that's why people laugh at that comment. I'd love to hear from her as well.
LUMA NATE wonderful idea!!
LUMA NATE Yeah, but that’s just a rumor
@@TheHoffy59 woosh
Yes, but she's a GP. Not an infectious disease specialist.

Monique Gebeline I commented the same thing then started looking through the comments and seen yours on here it’s hilarious

Scrolled down for this comment
This will never fail to make me laugh
You want to fix spending so we have money for emergencies START WITH THE GODDAMN ENTITLEMENTS AND FOREIGN AID!
You're not wrong.
Sounds perfectly logical. Repurpose all foreign aid immediately for domestic health needs. Time to circle the wagons.
We here in Italy were caught off guard. We didn’t realize it was so deadly and could spread so fast!! We have checked 124,899 people!!!
@MichaelArcAngel1028 you need to learn WHY people died in Italy vs other countries outside of China. There was a hint in the OP's comment.
@MichaelArcAngel1028 The death rate is that high in Italy because the people being tested and diagnosed with the virus are only those with the most extreme symptoms in the highest risk groups. Learn how statistics work before you panic my friend.
@@Ranger1PresentsVirtualRealms thank you! People need to think. The death rate is FAR lower. If we had the real # of infected we would see that.
@MichaelArcAngel1028 I'm well aware that Italy's healthcare system is overwhelmed... that's exactly the main reason why only the most extreme cases in high risk groups are getting tested. Thanks for making my point for me. I'm not sure why you would think "Italy's death rate statistics are skewed because of the way their testing is done" is the same as saying "there is nothing to worry about". We have testing results from countries where much more public testing has been done and we're gettting far more accurate statistics from all of those countries. This is giving us a much clearer picture of the true mortality rates in the various age groups. But you go right ahead and do "you" boo, meanwhile I'll stick to the facts.
To all of the people constantly saying that the death rate is lower because they are not testing everyone, does everyone who get the flu annually seek medical attention? The flu death rate, it can be argued in this case as much lower. With concern and panic, more people with symptoms of coronavirus are more likely to seek medical attention. Not so if this was "just like the flu."
“All the idiots out there who are saying things like, 'this is what a capitalist economy looks like in times of crisis.' Yeah and this is what a Socialist economy looks like ALL THE TIME!!!" 😂
“The difference is there is going to be milk on the shelves tomorrow morning, thanks to Capitalism!” 💯
My boy Benny stay safe with the newborn. Love from San Diego
Anyone else weirded out by how Ben pronounced angst?
llewodcm20 ... yes Lol
I’m weirded out by the sign language in LA
No because he pronounced it right.Angst is a German word and Ben pronounced it like a German.
It was more like awngst. He should be taken off the air for sure. Not. God bless Ben.
If anybody thinks that China has plateaued at 81,000 cases for weeks, I've got seafront property in Mongolia to sell you.
For all those who didn't get the joke, mongolia isn't a real country
David Levi I think he meant Mongolia being land locked
@@denistang1567 no...that can't be it
This whole virus just shows how stupid some people can be.
As A for real. Its either complete panic or no panic whatsoever and irresponsible behaviour. And I am from Croatia which has lik 60 people with covid and people have gone of the rails..
Didnt need a virus to show that
Yes except the Opposite of that
People do this with every scare. At least the fear of nuclear annihilation was valid.
@Katone Vi What experiment? Weeks ago they downplayed this now it's like every scare whether it be a virus or a cat 5 storm.
I love that you’re doing the whole “hang out with me and our community” thing. Seriously, it’s a wonderful sentiment and a great idea💡. It’s exactly what we need right now.
I can understand a couple of weeks or a month at most, but two months? Forget that. People won't stand for it never mind the economy. Right now, there's people I know who are out and about like it's a normal day. Not gonna happen.
According to the last Presidential update. Trump is saying maybe as late as August. I give him til end of May at best. No one is going to sit at home all Summer.
I’d rather get sick
If people don’t practice social distancing you will start seeing death rates like italy because it will quickly overwhelm our health systems. We need to slow the spread If we do that things can start to return to normal by july or August. If we don’t the death toll will be much higher. Could you stay out of groups till summer to save the life of your mother, your grandmother, the child with lukemia, the neighbor with ms?
Yea ppl will get fed up and go out. Plus it will become necessary for the sake of earning a living at some point.
Maureen Simpson I agree that ppl should do that but don’t know that people will over the longer term

Socialists: “this is what a capitalist economy looks like in times of panic.”
Ben: “this is what a communist country looks like all the time.”
They experiencing a TP shortage in Cuba at the moment? Lulz. Not sure what a shortcoming in our system has to do with socialism, but keep blaming socialism. That will certainly fix the problem.
@@manholeeunuchsbane6197 Try shopping in Venezuela.
@@manholeeunuchsbane6197 You are free to move to Cuba at any time you like. In fact I am sure there are many socialist countries that would like to have you. The people I see buying up all the toilet paper in my area are most of the people who support socialism.
@@chazman4461 -Pointing out that Cuba has not presently experienced a panic-buying shortage of TP does not equal "I want to move to Cuba". Again, instead of addressing a shortcoming in our system, just keep pointing at socialism to make yourself feel better. I'm sure that will cure the problems we are presently experiencing with our capitalist system.
@@chazman4461 -And how exactly could you possibly know that a TP hoarder is socialist? That is patently ridiculous and nonsensical. Do you have "Socialist Sense?" Please. that's fucking nonsense.
I just want to say Ben that your actions and caring about your community is honestly very touching and much appreciated. I know its not a huge thing but if we all did little things to help people out the world would be a lot better and its nice to see you being that change.
My kids are loving the pandemic.. hahah. We are making green sugar cookies for St Patricks Day :D And I'm making the kids go out and help get the garden ready for spring. I told em they might be relying on the food this year so they better WORK!! ;)
Are anyone else’s towns seemingly operating as normal? Schools are closing this week so I guess after that the reality will hit people, but so far people don’t seem to care.
If you look at the 30 day rolling average the US is responding faster than South Korea, especially by population. Caveat: we are not testing nearly as aggressively, yet. We have half as many cases in 30 days.
It helps that we don't have an apocalyptic death cult spreading it on purpose like they did.
Chances are it came in in December. Wuhan didn't even know they had it til the end of December as people freely traveled between the two countries. Younger people had it and called it the flu. Older people had ARDS from it. But just called it a virus. That's my prediction. We will never know the true death rate unless everyone is tested at exactly the right time....and that won't happen.
It's already better in South Korea. I spoke to a woman there today who says that the media is over exaggerating the whole thing.
@@52marli Half of South Korea's population is in one city, which makes it a little easier to implement testing.

It’s absolutely fascinating to go back to this a year and a half later. We had no idea what was coming.
I absolutely love the name of this chapter, so epic 😂
Ben: “The Sun still exists”
Me living in Chicago: “Uh.”
Michael Manker not if you’re in the hospital with it!! I live in Italy and have heard doctors who contracted it. Their stories of their experiences are terrible. Unfortunately it’s real.

1:02 are we all just going to ignore how Ben just said "angst"...?
Apparently he pronounces being upset as "ahngry" too. :shrug:
Glad someone else noticed that too? I was like "have I been mispronouncing it all this time?"
He also said verboten
Lol
🤣😂
Short of toilet paper? Supermarkets sold out? If you buy newspapers I hear on good authority that the Guardian, Daily Mail, New York Times, etc, make good toilet paper. I respectfully disagree because I've never wiped my ass with other peoples $hit.
Brilliant! Newspaper sales will go up as toilet paper supplies disappear!
muh diversity in a pinch I hear Dallas Cowboy apparel works just as good
yeah, you just have to worry about the paper cuts, using newspaper as ass wipe....that could be a nasty infection....
But they're all filled with shit already! :P
Very good!
Personal responsibility is key
1) Wash your hands
2) dont touch your face
3) social distancing
4) wash your hands!
5) wash your hands
I live 83 miles from Manhattan. No cases outside of the City.
Isn't New Rochelle technically outside? 🤷
Long Island is a suburb of NYC there's a lot of confirmed cases there.
Ben Shapiro said we should help each other out.. so, on a whim, my husband and I need a loan of $5,000 until the closing of our home sale April 30. We will be able to pay it back immediately after our closing!
You know what I’m alarmed about? The 1.5 TRILLION dollars the fed gave to the banks in the last few days. And insurance companies saying they will waive co-pays on TESTING. Not the treatment mind you-the testing only.
You're seriously still believing China's numbers especially when compared to rates in Italy? Ridiculous.
Shapiro is not a conspiracy theorist. No matter how plausible. He just goes off of what is to be believed as fact. One of the many reasons for Shapiro 2028. 🤣
You don't think a forced lockdown would help stagnate the spread?
Just stay home and learn to blog lol
@@colemin2 Yeah, it would help. My complaint is trusting a communist dictatorship to accurately report numbers when they're obsessed with appearing to be in total control, especially one with a culture that has a "shoot the messenger" mentality.
To think they're being honest in any way is downright idiocy in my opinion.
Ben! I'm quite stunned by the reassurance you gave at 36:15, that you and your friend can't infect each other during the production because neither of you has symptoms.
It's pretty rainy in Los Angeles Ben. Don't get too wet? Thank you for encouraging us to do what's responsible.
gotta love Ben!
Strong assumption I have five friends, Ben.
the walker joke was great
A team of infectious disease experts at the University of Queensland in Brisbane say they have seen two existing medications manage to wipe out COVID-19 infections.
hloroquine, an anti-malarial drug, and HIV-suppressing combination lopinavir/ritonavir have both reportedly shown promising results in human tests and made the virus 'disappear' in infected patients.
The idea that this is so critical that you shouldn't leave your home is absolutely insane. Like board the windows, tape up the door jam style. If we start treating all illnesses like this, we are totally fucked.
Hopefully all this humbles people
The only thing I panic bought this week was bidet attachments for all my toilets.
Things that I am not worried about:
Hollywood, theirs movies have been shit for a while and they need to wake up
Airlines, they have a pseudomonopoly and their services are mostly garbage.
yeah let’s arrest people & pack em even closer together hahahaha wow. sorry but fresh air & sunlight is a must.
People in prison are not worried about corona virus they are hoping everybody dies and they are the only ones left
Yup all the schools in Maine were shut down Friday which I agree with. They are closed starting today for the next two weeks. & I’m quarantining in my house for the next two weeks aswell. I have a compromised immune system so it’s important for me to stay home.
Good episode.
Im from germany and after the italy Situation germany tries to close the borders, which seems too late. My family lives in switzerland and switzerland done goofed and underestimated the Situation and now got hit really hard by coronavirus
Hey Ben...here in Spain...taking a walk will be a 300 to 600 euro fine! LOL!!!
divari N So can you not take your dog out to relieve themselves?
Then go outside in your yard or on your balcony and get some sun.
I run my own la fitness here in florida. We just closed for 2 weeks, and have mild cold symptoms. Don't know how to feel due to no tests being available to us yet, and it being allergy season
Crazy thing are the asymptomatic people. Very difficult to not spread.
@Swampy Its peaked in China and they're already closing up some hospitals. Same in South Korea.
Swampy I don't believe China but I do believe South Korea. If we in the US follow the South Koreans, we should minimize the damage of this thing.
@Swampy I don't believe anything put out by the CCP. Video, photographs, fake news nothing. There ARE some non-CCP sanctioned media outlets putting out information that clashes with the CCP. If you dig you'll find them. No official government release can be trusted to be accurate due to politicization which breeds panic/fear.
Look at the statistics of the 2009 H1N1 virus (number dead) compared to Covid-19. The difference is staggering. More importantly ZERO MEDIA PANIC. hmmmmm🤔
The sheer rush on cases of water confuses me a little too. I keep 2 to 3 cases on hand this time of year because weather warms up, and you don't leave the house without a hat and a bottle of water, and the city water tastes awful. But the carts filled with nothing but water and toilet paper is an overreaction that leaves me scratching my head.
I’m with the uk
Me too.
Still can't believe this is real. It's like I'm living in a nightmare world...I couldn't of imagined how quickly this thing could spread. To think I wasn't taking it seriously a month ago...
Far worse has happened before, and will likely happen again. Get a grip and binge watch some Netflix.
@@Ranger1PresentsVirtualRealms Well I'm around Ben's age and not in my lifetime have I seen anything like this. The only thing that really compares is 9/11 which I remember pretty well (I was in high school). But even then, and in 2009, I don't remember the stock market crashing this hard and people freaking out this much. I'm not freaking out myself, but I am concerned about the situation.
“Ungst” 😂
I bought 3 weeks worth of extra supplies back in February when I saw what was happening in Italy. I don’t why so many people wait till the last minute.
Right now is NOT the time for political bickering, left vs right, red vs blue, fuck all that, we needa keep each other safe.
Went shopping Saturday (normal every 2 week shop for me) and couldn't find tp, babywipes and barely any baby formula. Maybe the store could have changed the station when the song "You Can't Always Get What You Want" came on while I was waiting in line.
China took the heavy measures and it worked. UK deaths doubled yesterday and added anther 20 today.
I feel like we're gonna have a population boom around the end of the year/beginning of next year
What else would people do when stuck Indoors for weeks.
A good time for online classes or games...

Shortness of breath

So....corona virus doesn't care about your feelings?
You forgot chills, extreme joint pain, inflamed lymph nodes, dry sinuses.
@Swampy -Just listing off all of the most common symptoms. It is what it is.
@Swampy -Gotcha. Very true about Web MD.
Bout time Ben threw some Bikini Babes into his show! 17:24
I went to the store today. The lines were crazy. No toilet paper but yes the sun is still shining.
You can tell Ben isn't a big NHL fan, he never mentions them when he talks about sports being closed haha
Being part of the higher risk group looked on line for people who've contracted the virus for symptoms and what might do. Have a thermometer. What's interesting is how the early symptoms can be quite mild. It isn't until get the shortness of breath that proved serious. Being a virus it will not be treated with medications. A suggestion one video had was to do lung exercises as it develops into a pneumonia. He suggested that it helped to keep him from needing a respirator.
I may be the only one excited to have my kids home,lol.
I'm going to take some online courses to help myself hopefully be more effective at teaching, but at least now I know for sure what they will be learning...
Bernie and Biden hitting each other with their walkers! That’s hilarious!!!
A man in Nelson County Kentucky was exposed to the virus. He refused to separate himself. The Governor forced quarantine on him. They would not go into details of how they forced that on the man.
The toilet paper shortage is so bad in CHINA, they’re breaking into the FORTUNE COOKIES!

"Major catering." I work at a landscape company. with 3 other guys. 2 of them own the company. 2 employees, including me. Really a brand new business. What happens?
Ben is off the mark on interest rates.
Any general decrease of interest rate will foment economic activity economic activity. It doesn't mean it will solve the epidemic, but neither does it mean it doesn't help tamper its effect.
But again, why would it help in this particular case?
@@samsaber4490 when companies make investment decisions, they look at the cost to pay for that investment before going ahead, i.e. how much a loan will cost. If loans become cheaper, it doesn't mean all shelved investment opportunities will go ahead, but in the largest economy in the world, it means there will be investments that would go ahead that otherwise wouldn't. Same for people, that quarter percentage point means that some people will get a mortgage that otherwise wouldn't. At the scale of hundreds of millions of investment decisions, it makes a marked difference.
That remains true even during an epidemic, even if the effect is not as significant as it would be without the backdrop of an epidemic.
Wouldn't it be tragic if we all went out shopping more often as a result, exposing ourselves and others in the process.
Since we are underestimating the number of cases, are we overestimating the case fatality rate (since the number of deaths is correct)?
Yes. The morbidity is overinflated at this point. It will lower when people realize that way more people have been infected than have tested positive. Right now, most people getting tests (and most certainly in the beginning) are the most severe cases that required a hospital visit.
For ~85% of us, this is a flu. A regular bug that we will fight off. In some cases we might not even know we had it.
So expect that 3% value to drop precipitously over time.
The only bright spot Hollywood getting hammered couldn't happen to a finer bunch of people!
I seriously don't get why sports stopped. Why don't they just keep playing w no audience? It makes no sense. They didn't need to cancel everything.
Jeremy Smith Because a player tested positive and there’s a lot of contact in the sport. They have to worry about losing players and their insurance policies on those players.
😄 I have had an upper-respiratory thing going on for like a month now, off and on... wet, mucusy cough and general feelings of fatigue... Though, I am a smoker and I work from home and only leave the house when I have to, anyway... So, there's a low likelihood that I have coronavirus, but just in case... Keep up the good fight in my absence, fellow patriots! 👍
Why is no one talking about all the new gun owners this is creating. I was at a big box sporting goods store on Saturday and the hunting area was crammed full of people buying guns. I ask an associate if this was normal and was told no. He also said that the majority of the questions from people buying the guns were basic questions that current gun owners would already know.
I looked this up last week out of curiosity and found no info.
Tim Poole just released a TH-cam video.
