Coronavirus V: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

May 30, 2021
welcome to the show still taking place in this blank void, television's biggest celebration of whiteness since Frasier, it's clearly been another brutal

week

with the occasional bright spot, like finding out that Judi Dench apparently dances tick-tock with his grandson via FaceTime. I think we all learned a lot there: Judi Dench can hit the wall like a pro; her grandson could be Ed Sheeran; and three, life is getting pretty strange on earth right now, but sadly we have to put all that aside and get straight to our main story this

week

several corn who are actually surprised I thought we were going to talk about kind of depressing but instead, you know, wait a minute, the

coronavirus

is you, you sneaky little bastard, I should have known it's always you, the

coronavirus

, you're an absolute nightmare, the fact is Kovac 19 is still dominating the news everyone days and it is difficult to keep up with all the information about it, not to mention the misinformation.

Here is the myth that you need to microwave your mail to kill the COBIT 19 virus. Mail is not food and you can do it. Don't cook it, garlic has some antimicrobial properties, but there is absolutely no evidence that it kills Covet 19. Adults now buy breast milk because some believe it can protect them from Covet 19, that won't help you, no, no, it will. is. You should absolutely not buy other people's breast milk to protect yourself from coronavirus, not only will it not work, but you are taking it away from babies and perverts who really need it now, unfortunately, this virus is widespread and people are acting .

More Interesting Facts About,

coronavirus v last week tonight with john oliver hbo...

In it, just this week we saw protests across the country against stay-at-home orders and some of those in attendance, like the Michigan operation stall, seemed motivated by very questionable information, what about concerns about the safety in the spread of this virus and the desire to kill more people? I think it's all hate, we are against these big corporations that are trying to ruin all these dollars that created the disease and now they don't want people to pay for the cure. The cure kills more people than this. Okay, what's worrying about that other than absolutely everything? It's just that you may have even heard some of those arguments from people you're related to or people you love, which by the way can be two very different groups.

Polls show that when asked about the mortality rate, forty percent of Americans believe that Kovach 19 is less deadly or as deadly as the flu, which it is not, it is many times more deadly compared to the coronavirus. flu is like comparing Jeffrey Dahmer to OJ Simpson. I'm not saying Oh J is great, I'm just saying he wouldn't even fill Checkers. The vegetable drawer and bad information are not only frustrating in that they encourage people to ignore stay-at-home measures, but they are also dangerous and could actually end up forcing us to stay home longer. . I think that's actually our story

tonight

, the bad information going around about this virus and the places where people are contracting it because there are a lot of media bubbles out there and taking a look outside of where you are can be revealing, e.g.
coronavirus v last week tonight with john oliver hbo
If you're not a regular viewer of televangelist and humble private jet farmer Kenneth Copeland, you may not know that he took on Kovac 19 weeks ago by commenting on you, you're forever destroyed and you're never coming back, okay? leaving aside your four-man Gnaeus-type crew of all time spitting everywhere isn't going to cure anything unless your plan is to give the corona virus the corona virus, in which case I wish you the best of luck , although I understand why Copeland. is so determined to end this pandemic if I only had a few weeks until my tragic hair dye started to fade, I'd be anxious for my color to be allowed out of his house too, especially since I've already claimed it in my actual website that my abnormally dark hair at the age of 82 was simply the result of standing in front of the mirror and saying glory to God the hair grows dark brown and thick be it in the name of Jesus ball points no, my The point is that there is a lot at stake here for Kenneth Copeland, but the world of televangelists is just one of many bubbles.
There is also an ecosystem of conspiracy theories such as the false belief that the virus was caused by 5G, something that led people to set fire to mobile phone towers in the UK this month, which is just ridiculous, although not as ridiculous as the fact that those burning towers almost certainly still offered better coverage than AT&T. Oh that's right dad, you thought a pandemic would bring us together, of course no, our feud must be an essential service because it's still in serious business. Biddy, I hope you are safe and healthy. I can't wait to talk to you as soon as this is over and as soon as I can get more of a bar of service, but here in the US.
One of the biggest and most robust bubbles is the media sphere of right, which is dominated by some enormously powerful individuals, not only on television but, above all, on conservative radio, where the most powerful host is, without a doubt, Rush Limbaugh, a man with millions of listeners, a candidate presidential. Medal of Freedom and almost certainly a room in his basement that his housekeeper can't enter even during the outbreak. Limbaugh has been spouting fabulously incorrect information. Here it is March 11. This coronavirus is just all this panic. This is simply not justified I tell you this when I tell you when I told you that this virus is the common cold when I said it was based on the number of cases it is also based on the type of virus is why do you think this is cough in 19 this it is corona virus number 19 they are not uncommon okay no rush just no no you claim that Kovac 19 got its name because it was corona virus number 19 that is not true it is called that because it was first identified in 2019, giant potato, but also no 2, the virus is the common cold no 2, this is not uncommon not to your golden microphone not to your browser being open to the Drudge Report not to your logo that looks like two pairs of breasts are in a fight over the mysterious can on your desk, which I can only assume is Pam's original cooking spray, but mostly no, you're stupid, quarantine beard, you look like Santa is me too, kicked out of the North Pole and I was forced to move to a condo in Tampa with linoleum floors.
I hate it, the problem is that there are too many of them in the conservative media. It was easy for me to include this virus in narratives that have been carefully constructed for decades. Limbaugh has spent years pushing all four corners of him. of deception consisting of government academic science and the media that unfortunately turned out to be the four most important groups to listen to during a public health crisis and I understand why you would be hesitant to establish your program as the only media worth the worth trusting. That gives you a lot of power and he's not the only one who uses that technique.
Fox News' recurring pitch to its audience has been that it will tell them the real story that the elites and mainstream media are trying to hide and that's how some of its hosts acted. this virus initially as a hysterical media attack to derail the president with segments titled coronavirus hysteria, the liberal media hoax backfires and Trump confronts the panic drivers and when people started dying and the arguments became harder to sell, the network seemed to stop trying to downplay the warnings to downplay the deaths today fortunately zero people in the United States of America have died from the corona virus zero we have six deaths from the corona virus 18,000 flu deaths have people died that's tragic but it's just 22 people have died those The numbers pale in comparison to the number of flu cases during this flu season.
An estimated 60,000 Americans will die from the corona virus according to the CDC in 2018. 61,000 Americans died from the annual flu. The fact is that we have people dying. 45,000 people a year die in car accidents 480,000 from cigarettes 360,000 here from swimming pools but we don't close the country over there oh thank you, not even a doctor fills something fast there, although the annual number of deaths from swimming pools in the US is " In Actually, it's 360,000, aren't they killing almost one Cleveland each year, the total number of drownings is around 4000. Also, if pools were killing 360,000 people here and you could hire a pool on a trip to the supermarket, we might think .about shutting them down until we found out what was going on and look, a lot of people underestimated the danger of this virus from the beginning, but people still did it not only while the death toll was rising, but even while behind the scenes their own company was suspending non-essential business travel and encouraging employees to cancel all in-person meetings and summits and conduct business over Skype or over the phone because, and this is true, they only pretend to believe these things on TV for money and the problem He is our current president. is not only the subject of this misinformation, but, as we all know, it is also the target of it, often drawing its talking points directly from what it sees Late

last

month, a popular conservative narrative became that it was time to reopen the economy and Fox's Steve Hilton.
I summed it up like this, you know that famous phrase, the cure is worse than the disease, that's exactly the territory we're hurtling into now. I'm pretty sure Trump saw that because just a couple hours after that segment aired, he tweeted that we can't let the cure be worse than the problem itself and the next day I can't seem to stop saying it. . We cannot allow the cure to be worse than the problem itself. We are not going to allow you to be worse than the problem. That's why I talk about the cure being worse than the problem, we can't allow the cure to be worse than the problem when I say the cure and the cure could be worse than the problem itself, right, that's what I can't allow that. happen, it's pretty depressing to watch the The president just parrots what he heard on TV the night before and if he's going to do that, the least he can do is pick a better show than Steve Hilton's The Next Revolution, why not opt ​​for a below deck sailing yacht that way we can hear the The President of the United States tells us how Adam, the chef, feels comfortable and how Madison needs to understand her role in the inner pecking order and start to listen to her main stew because Jenna doesn't need to carry her.
Yes it wouldn't be useful during a pandemic but at least it wouldn't be actively harmful, that's what's so infuriating here even though Trump has access to the country's top experts he still gets advice from watching TV and not just about talking points but also about medications, he takes hydroxychloroquine, it is a medication commonly used for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus and received a big boost in mid-March as a possible coronavirus treatment from Tucker Carlson's show. Preliminary evidence suggests that chloroquine, which is a cheap anti-malarial drug, may be effective in treating coronavirus. Gregory Regan is an advisor at Stanford University School of Medicine and joins us

tonight

.
A well-controlled, peer-reviewed study conducted by the world's most eminent infectious disease specialists showed that you are 100% right against the coronavirus. I just know what you're saying. me, but I know that it is very unusual for a study of anything to produce 100 percent results. I mean, that's notable, or am I missing something? Oh, you're missing something. Tucker, for starters, that man's role as an advisor to Stanford University was news to Stanford, who has since clarified that Gregory Rehgar is not an advisor to its School of Medicine and no one at Stanford participated in the study, since that for that 100 percent cure rate, you have to know that they got it by leaving out three patients who were transferred to an ICU and one patient who died and it's very easy to have a 100 percent success rate if you just leave out any results that don't may have been too successful, however, the next day, Trump publicly mentioned hydroxychloroquine for the first time. and since then he has constantly mentioned it with varying degrees of recklessness.
I just hope the hydroxy cleric wins. What do you have to lose? I'll say it again. What do you have to lose? Take it. I really think they should take it. You gotta lose, take it, what are you doing? You're the president, you're not some mean sophomore trying to pressure me into taking Adderall too in terms of what you have to lose, possibly quite a bit, since doctors warn that the drug can cause arrhythmia, which can cause a fatal heart attack in certain patients and that does not mean that this medication should notbe studied, it should be, and it is, but the feedback loop between Fox and Trump has gotten way ahead of the science here in just a two-week period.
Fox personalities and his guests made claims promoting hydroxychloroquine nearly 300 times, and Laura Ingraham even visited Trump at the White House earlier this month to defend the drug. Thanks to this media frenzy, the effectiveness of this drug, which should be a scientific question, has become a political question. anyone who says they want more comprehensive studies can be dismissed by the author as a Trump hater and if you argue that we shouldn't make decisions based on anecdotal evidence, Rush Limaugh has a ready answer, anecdotally, it has been anecdotal, it simply means that No. It hasn't been scientifically tested in large quantities but it means it's working anecdotally I arrived at work today means it happened well anecdotally you arrived at work today in a hurry but that alone doesn't mean that everyone arrived at work today or even that most of people came to works today it just means who did you there is a process to know if a scientific claim is true and it involves testing and observing the results in a controlled environment instead of confidently shouting your thoughts at c3po's penis and I know it's easy dismiss Limbaugh as a right-wing blowhard, but the reality is that he attracts more than 15 million listeners a week and the most loyal of them is the president, who supposedly considers Limbaugh a real-time metric of how his decisions are made . playing to his supporters and all the while patients with diseases like lupus who have been taking hydroxychloroquine for years and are now struggling to get it, one major healthcare provider even wrote to lupus patients telling them that due to the global shortage they would not be able to get it. will refill the medication. recipe that says thank you for the sacrifice you will make and look, I would like nothing more than if this were somehow a miracle cure, but I can't say it is and I can't say it isn't because it's still being tested. and I'm not a doctor, maybe I could, it's too early to say the problem is that could and might aren't really words that attract audiences, which is why cable news is often broadcast in bright primary colors and with easy stories.
Having to wait for results is simply not satisfying to hear or see, and throughout this crisis Fox has consistently presented simple solutions to complex problems, just as Sean Hannity formulated a seemingly real-time plan to resume baseball games by testing every person. present. and have them wear PPE if it's my choice and I have to wear gloves a mask okay I'll wear it I'd rather go and wear it if everyone else wears it we can put up with it for a couple of months until it's all over. It happened, I probably can't eat popcorn because you have to keep your masks off all the time, but you could probably eat a hot dog, you take it, you open your respirator, you take a bite of it and you chew it under your mask.
I have to drink my beer if I'm at a game, so if I have to use a straw and stick it in, I will. I'd rather have my temperature taken and drink beer through a straw than eat a hot dog doing this and chewing it en masse. and not go at all that's my decision you make yours now I'm pro-choice really? I mean leaving the pro-choice line aside you're right Be your body your choice I don't see a single flaw in that obviously you can't eat popcorn but you can definitely shove a hot dog in your mouth before the virus can sneak in there, that's just science anecdotally.
I know a guy who ate dog want and didn't get coronavirus, so that is absolutely proven and while that is almost incomprehensible, stupid, there is no denying that it is good television, the problem is that the skills necessary to produce television and to govern "They are very different and, unfortunately, we have a president who doesn't seem to notice the difference at the beginning of his presidency," he famously said. He told his top advisers to think of each presidential day as an episode of a television show in which he beats his rivals, so that we have a network and a president who thrive on division and feed off each other at a time when we desperately need a unified response to a public response. health crisis and all that brings us back to the protests we discussed earlier, hundreds of people have taken to the streets this week driven by the kind of misinformation that abounds in the right-wing media, the same right-wing media that then easily covered The protests they helped create like this one are popping up across the United States, as some fed up people demand an end to the stay-at-home orders they received outside the governor's residence in St.
Paul yesterday they referenced things like President Trump's statement that the cure cannot be worse than the disease, except that the copy of the cure is worse than the disease is not Trump's statement, he stole that phrase from you, They shouldn't give him the credit that he should be. accusing Trump of copyright infringement and like clockwork, just minutes after that segment highlighted groups like liber8 Minnesota tweeted liberate Minnesota followed by liberate Michigan and then liberate Virginia and all of this is legitimately dangerous because seeing coverage like that could convince Trump that there is a sizable portion of the population who wants to go back to work no matter the cost, but that is not currently the case. 66% of Americans say they are more worried about restrictions being lifted too quickly than too slowly, and frankly, it's surprising that the number is so high afterwards. weeks of this and look, I see Trump Fox and those protesters who want this all to end.
I also want people to be able to go back to work and regain some sense of normality, but for what it's worth, I know people have done it. He died because of this. I also know people who are taking hydroxychloroquine because they think it will give them immunity and I know people with lupus who are in their

last

weeks of taking pills and it infuriates me because the fact is the quickest way for this to end is for us all to remain united in this very task. difficult, but the only way that will happen is if we rely on well-informed leadership, which unfortunately we don't, instead we have a compulsive liar who constantly hears voices telling him that this is nothing more than that common cold with a 100% potential cure available and there is already a great plan to restart baseball even when there is a pool killing that for some reason no one talks about and while there are no easy solutions to make this irresponsible The media magically disappears I guess There's a trick we haven't tried yet, sir, so if you'll excuse me, here goes the right-wing media.
It worked? No, everything is still a nightmare. Well, it was worth a try. What did I have to lose?
