I'm so sorry for everyone in USA that is not an idiot.
That would be all the 2% of people.
It is a cross that I must bear.
Thanks the small amount of idiots we have are just really loud
All 12 of us thank you.
Theres very few of us but we appreciate it
I remember a quote from "Chernobyl" that was something along the lines of:
"Every lie invokes a debt to the truth and sooner or later that debt must be paid"
And just like Chernobyl, that debt will likely be paid with the blood of the innocent...
And the history repeats
Yes, except that debt will be lots of death, and further destabilisation of the country.
See, ma! I told you my History degree wasn't useless.
Silverfox you should add that the debt comes with interest
Let me tell you as an "essential" worker ,
John covering this subject makes me feel more sane because the amount of people not taking this seriously only proves how selfish people can be. I am a 26 year old male working at a liquor store in the Dallas area and the way people have been acting about it had made me utterly infuriated. I wipe down my counters and cooler doors and the main entrance and despite that I've had people (customers) make fun of me for it. The worst part is I found out recently that one of my favorite customers passed away due to COVID-19 because her husband came into my store and told me what had happened. Retail in general is a nightmare and yes I want things to go back to normal too but cmon people. WAKE UP.
Preach
Rynskie RIP customer guy
He died because he came in or that's how you found out?
I'm sorry you have to deal with such people. I respect what your doing.

The people who SHOULD watch this video, are NOT going to watch this video.
Cuz ppl want affirmation and not information....
And if they do, they will be going "LALALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOOOOOOUUUUU!!!!!"
This is true for literally every educational thing ever, mostly stuff about vaccines.
Exactly!! 🤦♀️😢
Tkaos Because: Stupid is Forever -Ron White
John is so good at this without an audience. When watching his previous episodes, he barely pauses in between jokes then either, sometimes he has to repeat the first few words of his sentence because the audience is too loud, but now it's just me, cackling in the my living room. Props John
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHEN TO LAUGH....
I just quietly wait until the end to laugh awkwardly.........
;^)
That's because John is an actor/comedian it's a skit
How can you not realise that?
In an interview, he said he's used to delivering jokes without getting a response due to performing stand-up comedy to a British audience. Lol.
@@grahamlight3263 Bruh, times are hard and everyone is struggling right now, but there is no reason to act like an asshole to someone who is literally just complimenting John.
@@mcamurray Jesus man when did the truth cause offense. How did that happen? I have lost people I know too this virus. I know paramedics here not being tested but celebrities got tested. Whats wrong with calling a spade a spade. Don't forget this man was a comedian on this side of the pond before he went over too America

Left wing media is just as bad. It really depends on the subject and your bubble.
@@roffel6876 xcuse me.... All media is that bad...
this goes with any media if you just believe everything the magic tv people tell you to believe. doesn't matter if it's the right wing media nor the left wing media. the lesson here is don't believe everything you hear especially from the MSM and Politicians because they don't care and will throw everyone under the bus to protect there bottom line.
All media is that way
People can say all media is bad... But there's only one echo chamber actively advocating a population starts killing itself in the name of freedom. So no, they are definitely not the same.
“Even though Trump has access to the country’s top experts, he’s still getting advice from watching TV.” That is one scary truth.
Thats cause the top experts tells him things he doesnt like to hear. Remember Trump has mentality of a 5 year old roughly.
Stupid is as stupid does
That's the Trump version of "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink".
@@HaroutDSDZ Can we drown this one in the river then?
Speaks volumes about the man, his intellectual capacity and his motives. The shallow end of the gene pool for sure.
Why can't they just stay home like Trump did during the Vietnam War?

@G You...do realize that George Carlin was a comedian, right?

I noticed something about this segment. Something makes me feel like this was the angriest we may have ever seen John. Normally, he's definitely upset about whatever infuriating subject he is delving into, but he seems to push the anger for a more satirical humor. This time, it really seemed like he was holding back his anger a bit. Something tells me, that he isn't just furious. He's absolutely livid. Just a theory, and I certainly don't blame him. I'm about there myself as a Michigander who knows too many who buy into those stories.
Shane Wechsler I had the same impression. Just when he sais that he knew people that have died of this virus you know it hit home. I’m pretty angry myself now looking at all this rampant stupidity!
There are def some older LWT episodes where he seems jaded/frustrated. Other sound/audience reactions definitely seemed to help keep him on center when he would usually perform though
His anger has been building up since the first Coronavirus video. You can tell that with every ending of the video his tone gets harsher
The laugh track isn't for the audience, the laugh track is to keep the monster inside John calm.
It’s pretty clear to see that he is genuinely upset at this point. I’m glad he has a platform to be able to be open and free. Also, speaking of platforms claiming to be free, fuck you AT&T!! That’s right, I said it!
He's getting better at doing this without a crowd.
96Swinehart he just had to go back mentally to his old days of standup. That silence can be deafening if you’re not prepared for it.
I am glad he hasn't resorted to a laugh track like some other people. Totally cheapens it all
@@ryanm6404 great way to word that
@@abhijeetshrawage4763 is that really a thing?
96Swinehart it’s evolving
They need to interrogate Phil about the 360,000 swimming pool deaths.
I think Dr. Phil was talking about the number of bodies he has buried under his pool.
Hello Cleveland!
we need to interrogate him on the messy foundation on his face too
'Dr' Phil is not even a licensed psychologist since 1989 (seemingly let it lapse, after being reprimanded the previous year), let alone a medical doctor. He got a doctorate originally, so that's how he gets to call himself a Dr.
Much like he conveniently never mentions how he was previously married & divorced, to a woman who had a less than flattering description of his behaviour. He was very young, so he can't really be judged on that, but he always has a condescending attitude (and of course is often pretty full of it)
Especially now
The picture of the televangelist blowing at the camera is the most frightening thing I've seen in a long time.
My Dad used to make me go to this guy's churches and I *hated* it. His psychotic looking eyes were the stuff of my childhood nightmares...
Downright demonic.
Sorry guys, demons look nicer.
Watch the interview he had a few years ago outside of his jet. Was even creepier
how can anyone even spend precious time watching that guy other than for the utter ridiculousness that is on display? smh
On a more positive note: in the US, this is now the longest time outside summer holidays without a school shooting in the last five years or so.
I believe since 2002😒😓
Hunt the good stuff
Wow just....wow
Sadly, now abusive families largely aren't being as well reported because teachers were the number one reporters of child abuse.
Kind of hard to have a mass shooting when there are no masses of people congregating. Sad truth, but yeah...

And it’s a annoying that Trump will win because of these following reasons:th-cam.com/video/ByfvyPUx_bY/w-d-xo.html
You mean Tucker Carlson didn't fact check? I'm shocked.
Don't tell me you are surprised?
Trump, quit trying to make hydroxychloroquine a thing, it's not going to happen.
Haha, wait a week until you’re king Obama is indicted. Oh yeah, such a big topic a guy lying over going to stanford medical school. Meanwhile, clinton’s are free running murderers.

THE WIND OF GOD!!!
As a teenager, I hear a lot of my peers saying “I won’t let Corona ruin my summer”, and they continue to go out and meet up with friends. It’s troubling to see how willfully ignorant so many people are, ignoring the facts, thinking “I’m young so if I catch it I’ll be okay” even though that’s not the point. If we don’t want Corona to “ruin our summer”, then let’s make sure it ends during the spring. As Samuel L. Jackson put it best: Stay. The Fuck. Home.
Get your suit ready, because you'll have a need for it when visiting them if they keep up keeping on.
Lots of funeral, but still, at least less idiots in your generation xD
as a European ... I pray for you. Because it's unbelievable how many crazy dumb people you got out there ... Haven't seen these idiots anywhere else "fighting for freedom" shit ... you really need some kind of revolution already. You're not united and everything that you should do for your own people is seen as communist. Very very sad
Even if they catch coronavirus and survive, they would have spread it to their family members before the symptoms could even appear in them. And I am sure not all of their family members are young enough to survive the disease.
You sound like an incredibly smart old soul, way ahead your time. Thank you for taking this seriously. Also, you can tell that you enjoy writing passionately; I'm a writer myself. Perhaps you should take a look into pursuing the same.
;)
Only in the US does “liberate” mean “get back to work”
Under-appreciated comment right here. Such a blatant example of double-speak.
LIBERATE US SO WE CAN GO BACK TO OUR CORPORATE SLAVE JOBS!!!!
sadly, not only in the US
"Work liberates us." Aka. "Arbeit macht frei". It's a quote used as...concentration camps slogan.
The nazis' perversion twisted the phrase' original meaning and they used it to hide how inhumane they treated people, manipulate and abuse them for their own profit... I say the US is looking quite facist right about now.
It's because the US lacks a safety net so people will literally starve or become homeless if they can't work.
The fact that Fox has Drs. Phil and Oz as the "doctors" says it all.
Whatever happened to Dr. Laura...?
Not surprisingly they didn't reach out to Dr. Dre
Dr. Oz is a Muslim, so they don't know whether to believe his bullshit or hate him.
Well, at least Dr. Oz is an M.D., Dr. Oz really has a medical degree from Harvard, an Ivy League school. ... He obtained his undergraduate degree there in 1982. Oz earned his MD and his MBA from another Ivy League school, The University of Pennsylvania.
So he does understand infectious processes and how viruses behave and replicate.
I don't agree with a lot of what he says, however.
Just me maybe.
Dr. Oz really has a medical degree from Harvard, an Ivy League school. ... He obtained his undergraduate degree there in 1982.

Remember people, whenever you think life sucks being in lockdown, think of John's poor colleague that had to watch 2 weeks of Fox New to count the number of times 'Hyroxychloraquine' was mentioned.
My god... I could barely stand watching the clips of fox news on this show as it is, to have to watch two weeks of that much stupid... poor bastard
god, I hope they just look at transcripts and control "f" that shit
Bertie W: "colleague" seems unrealistic, "underling intern" seems more likely...

It is so frustrating to see one covid episode after another.
But I can't imagine how frustrating it is to have to make those.
John Oliver and his team are well aware of the reach they have and feel probably obliged to fight the misinformation.
So let me thank you wholeheartedly for that and stay healthy.
Be much worse to have it.
You can kinda see it getting to him
Damn they pushin thus crap hard

I know this is an American show. With a British/American host. But....the misinformation seems to exclusively be In America.
I hope John's anger gets contagious. Wake up America.
Like the.miley cyrus song?
The US as a whole is handling the pandemic just as well as Europe. The only failure the US had was how bad Andrew Cuomo ran NY
@@yelsewgalt9178 In my country we have free health care, lay off programs being implemented, even for independent workers, social security payments being applied because of the rise in unemployment, places and programs to immediately allocate the homeless and refugees, districts made social support lines, to bring food and pills to those who can't afford it or can't go and fetch it. One of which I'm volunteering in.
Behavior of the population apart, America has systemic structural issues, which need to be resolved.
And the basis of that solution is a change in consciousness, of the politicians and the people, and the realization that everybody, no matter the race, gender, ethnicity or socioeconomical background, is equal and should have the fundamental human rights to have food, health and a roof. Besides COVID, the global disease of hyperindividualism set us apart, and now, more than ever, we can see the importance of remaining united and care for each other, without having to know why. Being part of the whole humanity should be a reason strong enough for our unity.
@@xRS23x It's good to come together. My point is that the US is a large county and this show is trying to make the point that we are failing big time when that is just false. Some States are having a really hard time just like some EU countries are having a really hard time. But even in NYC no one was denied care which was happening is parts of the EU as their universal health care systems got overrun.
@@xRS23x I don't think the US or people in general need as much help as you're saying if we're thrifty (as a small country could be supported like that, but not so easy for a much larger one). I live off rice, peas, oats, flax, and.vitamins. So if we cut our needs to the very least and work hard to produce, even for free (as getting a job where I live's not an option), then fewer services are needed. I'm not saying none, but also not get jealous or want what we can't or shouldn't have if we don't need.it is a good balance.
I remember reading in my high school history class about the Middle Ages and thinking “ah, people were silly back then.” Luckily, I’ve been transported to the Middle Ages to see it for myself.
Time travel eh... It's nice in theory but reality bites
Damn right...
Just fill your pockets with posies. I heard an anecdote about it you should be fine.
Given that people living under the poverty line have better plumbing than medieval royalty, no thanks!
Okay. So, here's my far-out, crazy ass hypothesis about the multiverse. We're in the MOST ENTERTAINED reality. We don't get to have magic or Kaiju or super advanced Androids killing us and taking over. No superheroes or supernatural. We get the barest window into other realities through our books and movies and TV shows. We are the Nexus of Planes. We are so far flung from the rest of the galaxy that we're just receiving echoes of overlapping realities. Boom. There's my crazy for the day. Enjoy. I'm gonna just drink this cappuccino now.
Due to a poor education system the majority of Americans lack skepticism, critical thinking skills, and basic knowledge.
True that , they are noobs
Help me help us 🙊🙉🙈 skills are hard
Our education system is a shambles; I've come to realize that being a human being who uses my brain critically, I exist in a group that represents _maybe_ ~15% of the population? That's not enough to sustain a democratic society on! I learned recently about the phrase *"Educational Perennialism"* which believes in teach true critical thinking and reasoning skills to people predominantly through direct teaching of the great classic works of man; while I'm not picky about HOW we do it, WE NEED CRITICAL THINKING AND REASONING SKILLS!
It's more than just poor education, it's also a lot of unfettered capitalism that allows the very rich to prey on the ignorant and gullible, including the news they watch. It's big business keeping as many Americans as possible as stupid as possible.
Sadly because of these kinds of people Trump will probably be reelected. Found a good video explaining why Joe Biden will lose the election: th-cam.com/video/ByfvyPUx_bY/w-d-xo.html
"I know people who have died from this. [...] and I know people with Lupus who are down to their last few weeks of pills and it makes me *** furious!"
I felt that. I actually teared up a bit. As a European the situation in the US seems surreal. I wish you all the best, be safe, stay home, take care of each other, and we will all get through this. Together. United.
I wonder if Trump is taking the medication HQ he’s pushing, I read his family has a lot of stock in the company that makes it.
Im american living in spokane washington
Its really not that bad at all. The news has a lot of people scared.
Its a struggle everywhere you go.
@@dewmontain123 maybe not bad where you are. You should be thankful for that instead of attacking the media. Imagine the media covering California wildfires that are burning millions of acres and wildlife and property and you look out of your home in Florida and say "it's not actually that bad" 🤪
I literally nodded my head in sympathy for John. Imagine losing loved ones because of your country leader's stupidity.
This is insanity. I'm so glad I'm in Europe (Portugal has low virus levels and we took it seriously from almost the beginning).
As an American the situation in Europe seems surreal. The mortality rate in Europe is FAR higher than in the US so far. If the US mortality rate was as high as it is in Europe I don't think you'd be seeing these morons out protesting.
Tucker C in April 2020: "An estimated 60,000 Americans will die from Coronavirus by August"
Future me from July 2020: "Oh you wish it was only 60,000 your barely sentient polo mallet"
Richard Britten Also 60,000 people dying from ‘flu is terrible and he should probably be worried about that too.
To be fair, that 60k he quoted was from a model by the University of Washington
Update from 9 September ... total USA confirmed cases: 6.34 million, deaths: 190, 000

My grandpa died this weekend because of the virus. As a nursing student I'm frustrated because my family did everything right but when I go out to the grocery stores for my family and see people not wearing mask and making comments like "it's just the flu" I get so angry. How can we be so dumb. How can we not care about each other. I just honestly don't understand. For this to be America. I am truly shocked and heart broken.
sorry for your loss :( but stay positive. This only proves that more than any weapon or what those who so passionately defend the 2nd amendment fail to realize is that ignorance can be even more dangerous than any weapon. There needs to be more focus on overhauling the education system
Agreed. This part has hit me much harder than the actual virus
My grandfather died in a car accident, and the fact that you drove to the grocery store is insulting ...
@@MrGgabber what's your damage?
Sorry for your loss, and it's amazing to read about new nurses . Best of luck with your studies.
John Oliver is the greatest host during these times! Even without a live Audience, he still manages to be clear, comical and deliver with ease. Absolutely Awesome!!
I agree. But when he calls for the country to unite, his actions are not really going in this direction. Since everything he says is against the right. I totally see, why he would do so. But he does never ask: What do these people / these processes have, that the other side of the spectrum is missing / is not adressing.
Maybe the "war" between left and right must continue and is just what keeps the US strong. I do not know. (As a guy from outside the US especially)
@@awee1234 Incredibly stupid comment
@@awee1234 - Here's the problem with your statement.
Literally truth itself is against the right. Republicans, Trump, and the people that follow them all live in their own little made-up alternate reality that does NOT match with the reality we live in.
There is no compromise with that. There is no middle ground with that. The people on the left need to stop looking for compromise, because the people on the right will only continue to shift the goal posts. It's decades past time we put down our foot and draw a line in the sand so we can get our nation back to running on sanity and empathy, as it did (mostly) during FDR's time.
@@mackan3442 no its not but ur just a shill kid
This episode wasn’t a joke. I could hear John getting emotional and it was heartbreaking.
That's because he has common sense, as with most Americans, but there's still the others and that's what makes it heartbreaking
Yea I didn't laugh at all. I hope he tries harder next week. I expect better.
He ain't American...

Nathaniel Carroll Yes he is. He received citizenship years ago.
The hydroxychloroquine thing really bugs me, I take it and I'm one of those people with lupus that is going to either run out soon or pay $2,000 for a refill. It's infuriating.
That news really bothered me too! I just graduated from Nursing school and learned about condition like Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis that use medications like Hydroxycloroquine and I was thinking to myself, "There are people who need those medications first!!"
I really hope that you were able to get a refill for your medication without paying so much for it. You shouldn't have to be "sacrificing" anything in order for this drug to be tested on CoVID-19. People with conditions like Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis should be coming first!
I hope that you are doing well and that you have a wonderful day!
@@SymphonySinger Thank you!! I managed to get it refilled last week with my appointment and it was more costly than usual but not $2,000 so it's working out alright! I'm was very blessed that way. Thank you for your well wishes!!
It's okay because, as I'm sure you're pleased to know, your country salutes you. And that's what's most important. And if it isn't what's most important to you, we just have one question: why do you hate America?
And even if it did work (which it doesn't!!!), there's a significant number of people who can't take it because the side-effects will kill them. Many cardiac patients are on meds that will mix very badly with it, or the condition itself will respond very badly to it. So their only choice is to not get covid-19.
"It's pretty depressing to see The President..." Sure is.

To whom it may concern: I am an E.R. Nurse. My wife is an anesthesiologist. Two of my colleagues, in their mid-30’s and otherwise healthy, are currently in The ICU on ventilators. Both of them are younger and healthier than I am. Everyday, I go to work and walk into an environment that has been vastly changed from it’s previous condintion a month and a half ago. The halls of my institution are thronged with people afflicted with this virus. We do not have the proper equipment necessary to protect ourselves from contracting horrible pathogen ourselves. As a result, I am being asked, even expected, to do things that place my life and the lives of the people that I love at risk. I am tired just typing this. I am desperately tired of trying to communicate the urgency of this situation to people who have no grasp of what is actually transpiring here, yet feel so entirely self-assured in their certainty that ‘it’s just the flu’ or whatever else ignorant opinion they might cleave to. It feels like an empty endeavor, like tragically wasted time and effort, to try and explain what it is factually transpiring here. I want to scream expletives. I want to force these people to walk into work with me, wearing a week old N95 that common sense states should’ve beed discarded after its first use; no gowns to protect my skin, rationing gloves to protect my hands, afraid to eat or drink for twelve and a half hours, teetering from exhaustion, desperately trying to resuscitate your mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, daily...every day. At the end of the day I am afraid to touch my wife and she, in turn, after spending the large part of her day placing the breathing tubes into the airways of the infected, is equally terrified of touching me. So, we sleep our scant few nightmare raddled hours in separate beds, restlessly dreaming of going to work and seeing my wife on a gurney. This is my first day off of five workdays in a row. I am going to go out and sit in the sun for a minute. I wish I had the strength to say more, but I am too tired.
Thank you so much for your comment and more importantly for the hard work you do everyday. I know “hard work” is an understatement, and, for what it’s worth, there are some of us who are taking this seriously so the insanity you see every day can come to an end sooner rather than later. You and your wife and all your coworkers and quite simply amazing-I don’t need to know you to know that to be true. Thank you thank you thank you.
ReuterLanmeier I know it doesn't help, but you have my sincere apologies for how pathetic my fellow Americans can be. I really hope you, your wife, and your colleagues make it through this
Fellow ER nurse here. My husband and kids moved out for protection bc I was scared to touch them too. Lost a relative just yesterday. Its been so hard and causes my blood to boil to see privileged ignorant people disobey something that was put in place for their own safety. Putting other lives, and my life further at risk and keeping us further from our spouses and families. I'm sending you well wishes friend. Thank you for your sacrifice ❤ every storm runs out of rain sooner or later. This will be over eventually, for now it's just one day at a time.
respect.
And look at how the media is covering the pandemic - it's all politics, politics, politics. I've seen almost no footage of what is really going on in the hospitals throughout our country. That is entirely purposeful. "They" don't want us to know how serious and devastating this is for those going through it.

But it's not even that, most smokers will step outside/away from people to have a cigarette even of they're inconsiderate/obnoxious it's obvious when someone is smoking and at worst you can step away. This is people saying they don't want to deal with minor inconveniences for the safety of the general public and would rather let those that are at risk die than deal with them.

If people aren't distancing themselves then a very large number will end up at the hospital simultaneously and they have limited resources, that means they will have to prioritize care, that means doctors have to start making calls of who to save and who to forsake.

Unfortunately, the nature of televangelism makes it so that no amount of distance can save you from the vicious gaze and divine growls of Kenneth Copeland.

I wondered if Ed Sheeran was really her grandson.
Fun fact: apparently that's not an uncommon mistake - I actually was googling that recently, and it turned out that...a lot of people mobbed her grandson thinking he was Ed Sheeran.
Turned out, Ed Sheeran sent security to help get him away from that too.
I've avoided televangilists all my life, and Kenneth's face convinced me that I made a good decision. He looks like my sleep paralysis demon.
It is worse than that. I implore you to watch just a two-hour segment of his broadcast to absorb the full Kenneth Copeland. Watch how he manipulates people who are scared, down-trodden, sick, or disabled via snake-oil tactics, or more recently asking those to not skip their tithing no matter the circumstances. I am all for religion and feel it gives many people something to believe in. But what they are doing is abusing that. To witness true evil watch the deceptiveness of televangelists.
He's truly a ghoul.

@@michaelturner5093 There is a Nature article which explains it quite good, there was MERS discovered in 2012 too, which is also a respiratory syndrome virus, but since it was only found in middle east (middle east respiratory syndrome) I guess it's not directly tied to SARS family from a scientific point if view. www.nature.com/articles/s41564-020-0695-z

Problem is the common enemy is only threatening some of us. All those people in power have access and the funds available to the healthcare they need to stay alive during this pandemic.

They've never cared about us regular people but half of Americans can ignore that because they don't care about anybody but themselves. If people could learn to actually care about their fellow Americans AT LEAST then we wouldn't allow these people to remain in power because every single thing they do is designed to get them as much money and power as possible.

"More people die from auto accidents than from this!"
Good point. Maybe we ought to also invest in public transit.
Traffic death toll is about 40,000 a year and Covid-19 has surpassed that figure in months. So not-medical-doctor Phil is wrong again.
Right! In addition good public transit can save people a huge amount of money, compared to the insurance, fuel, maintanence, and cost of depreciation imposed by our automobile dependence. Also, it’s better for the environment if our built environment prioritizes walking, cycling and transit over cars. That requires more missing middle housing and generally increased density near transit lines.
I hate when those “geniuses” use that argument. Auto accidents are not contagious
Also, while catching a bad case of bumper can be quite deadly, there aren't any known cases of it being contageous.

Four human coronaviruses produce symptoms that are generally mild:
Human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43), β-CoV
Human coronavirus HKU1 (HCoV-HKU1), β-CoV
Human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E), α-CoV
Human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63), α-CoV
Three human coronaviruses produce symptoms that are potentially severe:
Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV), β-CoV
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), β-CoV
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), β-CoV
- An excerpt from the wikipedia article "Coronavirus" under the header "Human Coronaviruses"
And then COVID-19, which hasn't been added to the list yet. So there are eight that can infect humans, and four with serious effects (including COVID-19).
This one is different because it spreads much more quickly than the others especially for something that only recently jumped species.
It is not more lethal than the other "potentially severe" coronaviruses to a given individual, but because it spreads so quickly it can, and likely will, kill far more people.
Spread the word.

“War is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength.” + DUMB ASS

... that doesn’t follow from what Fulgrim88 said.
"Thick" is more like it.
If people are not taking Covid19 as a serious issue, John made FIVE episodes on it
Chester
I bet it will be 6 next week
Actually it was produced in year 5 and is not the 5th iteration of the subject. ;)
5 and counting until this pandemic is over
I think it's just 4, oan was I'm assuming an EP already in the works before all this, esp since he said they don't ever throw out episodes they've started they just take as long as they need to to do the research to come out with them. So I think that the OIN would be from a while back that was finally able to put out now and they included current snippets of stuff OAN is doing presently because some of it is so outlandish so it made sense to insert it now, but definitely wasn't all about Corona virus virus
We live in a world where a stand-up comedian is providing more accurate information than entire news networks. What a world we live in?
I definitely agree, but John Oliver and his team deserve the title "investigative journalists" in addition to stand up comedians. His reporting is always solid and he digs deep, especially into areas other reporters overlook. 👍
These are confusing times.
Jon Stewart started this trend.
We live in a world where Millennials and Gen-Y watch comedians reading jokes from a teleprompter and think it's news. Oliver is funny, but that's all he is. He's not the news. He's a leftist schill with a smarmy British accent. Many (not all) of his rhetorical arguments are as fake as the tele-evangelist who "blows" the coronavirus away.
@@bry2k 1) Gen-Y and Millennials are the same group.
2) This man is not propagating conspiracy theories like some other "News" outlets are so I would at least consider him a current events commentator.
3) What has this man said that is fake. Was it the call for unity, was it reporting of how misinformation is being spread though media, or was it him pointing out that presidential tweets have a strange correlation with Fox News.
I would love an honest answer to my third point.
There was a reddit comment that said someone should show up to these protests dressed as the grim reaper looking at their watch and tapping their foot impatiently 😌
you just need to sneeze. how brave are they ?
Not even the grim reaper wants to catch their stupid
I mean, it's an amusing idea, but there are people who go to these Stupid Rallies open carrying. You can bet they are there just looking for an excuse to shoot someone.

No point in counter protesting. Their death or near death will serve that function. And those who do survive intubation on a ventilator will have nightmares for the rest of their lives. Again, all will serve to the counter protest. These paint huffing morons will just come up with some other idiot nonsense to chug down.
You really can't fix willful stupidity, it just has to be allowed to die on its own stupidity.
I died when he said he looks like a Santa who got me too'd.
If 40k Americans died on a democratic president's watch we'd never hear the end of how terrible things were from Fox News.
I said the same thing last week.
and the sad thing is
other presidents, who sacrificed "American lifes" in wars and whatever were blamed and shamed for it.
this will probably never happen to Trump. he'll be re-elected and we will have to deal with his stupid face, for another couple of years.
thanks America
Remember Obama’s mustard-gate?
Also worth noting that it is not 40k people who died this year. it is 40K who died in the last 3 weeks while 35k died in the last 2 weeks.
Trump tweeted 2 days ago that 17,000 people died of H1N1 under Obama, and said polling numbers were terrible during that whole YEAR. Trump actually thinks his failure is a win.
we should start investing in US education system. Heavily
How about we invest in bringing somebody _else's_ education system _to_ the US, because ours clearly isn't working and throwing more money at it probably won't fix the problem. I hear that schools in Europe are run very differently than ours.
You just throw money in the US education system, and it will just go to more money for administrators, district officials, superintendents, etc. It needs an overhaul, oversight, and it needs to be brought to a set national standard, not a standard for an individual state.
@@stevethepocket your welcome to try the Singaporean system. The problem is students wouldn't be able to cope with the intensity
EVERY country in the world needs too do that
@@stevethepocket Yes they are run differently speaking as a so called European "personally hate the term" but each country has a different system we aren't a united europe confederacy thank God.
That dude in the white suit spitting, he's the stuff of nightmares.
That's a true "man of God" lol
He has amassed a $300,000,000 tax free fortune by taking money from a lot of very stupid people, I hope there is a special place in hell for people like him.
Finding Beauty In the Little Things I thought that was just me thinking that too
That was Kenneth Copeland. One of the biggest TV evangelists of all time next to Jimmie Swaggart and a few others. He's done this thing with help from his wife to save the souls to millions of Christians all over the world through the generous donations of the True Believers. He owns a $3M ranch in Texas through the blessings of God.
Copeland isn't a nightmare. He's one of the worst charlatans ripping people off.
That dude looked like a fucking gargoyle
"Thicc be, in the name of Jesus" Gonna say this my first night back in the clubs when they open.
"66% are worried restrictions will be lifted too soon."
So...maybe I was wrong, maybe we do have more intelligence in our country than I thought.
And I thought... only 66%???
Squeaky wheel gets the oil.
The majority aren’t going to go out and protest to keep things closed. You will always be effected by the most stupid.
That is still amazingly low!
COFFE IS HOT. It’s on carry out cups. Nope. We’re dumb.
"We are only as strong as our weakest man." With that in mind, these polls/surveys may show us a brighter side, but it also depends on who asked them, where they asked them, and how many were asked. 66 out of 99 people from a local suburb in a northern state being asked does not define everyone. It may define that area, but it doesn't define the state, nor the rest of the country.
What I'm trying to say is, just like that impersonator of a Stanford advisor, we need to be very careful how we accept that information, even if it sounds to our benefit. The "advisor's" claim about Hydroxychloroquine sounds great to those who are looking for hope in these isolated and damaging times, as is listening to John Oliver tell us that they're wrong. Now that many have the time to, look further into these stories he mentions, because even he is not perfect in his report.
"They only pretend to believe these things on television for money."
The most important takeaway from this show. I hope people understand that.
Lucifer will come in the form of a born-again Preacher
RoughAcres RL McKee Truer words have never been said. They don’t give a damn about these things. They say these things for money. The only issue is that their crazy followers believe them. These are the same people that allowed Trump to con them. Now we have a cartoon president.
George Kafiridis oh dear, you've been drinking too much of that red kool-aid....put down your cup and listen to reason for a second: yes, the flu alone kills thousands of people every year. Let's say 60,000 in one flu season. Covid-19 had killed 54,000 people in roughly 3 months and this virus is still going strong. It will continue and at the cuuent rate when we finally get to the fall, I guess another 30,000 people will die so that's 84,000. We are then going to have to deal with BOTH. On already exhausted health Care workes. As well as every other thing that kills people every year!! What about our hospitals and horrid healthcare system?! Fucking fuck why can't you see that this is about more than life and death? There are only so many doctors and nurses and they are getting sick too. I sincerely hope you open your eyes before it's too late.
George Kafiridis just remember the big bucks you’re putting in pundit pockets every time you blindly believe what they say. Reflect, instead of trying to think of a clever comeback.
@George Kafiridis shut up
"Life is getting weird on Earth right now."--John Oliver, 2020
And a truer phrase was never spoken.
I honestly think this is just revealing to us how weird things already were.
"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
@@unkannyunkanny9232 My favourite series of all time!!!! Thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍😘😘😘😘!!
“Post Pigpen Grateful Dead is better” is more true. But I understand and agree with you beyond that.
it has always been weird. Read up on the dark ages... People are clowns and easily manipulated. A small example: you invaded Afghanistan, because Bin Laden - a Saudi, committed crimes while hiding in the mountains there. US intelligence found out Saudi Arabia funded 9-11, but obscured it. The conspiracy theories around it are somewhat exaggerated, but its fishy all 'round. Iraq, similar story. Vietnam and nearly every intervention in between as well. Yet the US always remains the greatest nation in the world: Americans don't want to know about how they are getting duped. People in general won't, but the US is a master in such deceit. Just ask the NSA...
At any rate, the US has been kooky for all of its existence. Apparently it takes losing thousands of lives and billions of dollars in a futile war against Iran (which used to be Persia - might be worth reading up on that too...) an orange and a pandemic event to become slightly aware of how you're getting screwed around.
And still, it's a British dude that makes you aware of the clusterfucks you obliviously have allowed to be...
I cannot accept that Kenneth Copeland isn't a goblin trying to pretend he's human
I'm not sure I agree with that... Has Kenneth Copeland ever said that he's not a golbin?
