  • Let's kick it off

  • with some good news first. The FDA has just approved

  • a new coronavirus test due to start shipping this week.

  • And this test will dramatically decrease the wait time

  • for results, all right, down from a few days

  • to a mere 45 minutes.

  • Which is no time at all.

  • That's just the time you take to wash your hands

  • if you're doing it right.

  • Also, as doctors are treating more patients,

  • they're learning more about the disease

  • and ways that they can help people self-diagnose earlier.

  • For example, doctors are now saying

  • that a loss of smell or taste

  • can be a symptom of coronavirus. Completely true. Yeah.

  • So if you thought your husband's chronic farting problem

  • suddenly got better, you in danger, girl.

  • Is it just me, though, or does it seem like the disease

  • has more specific symptoms every day? Right?

  • 'Cause first-- first they were like,

  • "Okay, it's flu-like symptoms" then they said,

  • "No, it is cough, but it's a dry cough" and now it's like,

  • "You lose your sense of smell."

  • Pretty soon it's gonna be like, "Apparently coronavirus

  • "makes your right butt cheek really large

  • "and your left butt cheek gets all lopsided and twitchy.

  • "Then you got to go to the hospital if that happens.

  • "You're gonna be falling every time you sit down.

  • Whoa, corona, whoa."

  • Oh, here's some really good news.

  • For all those people who are stressing

  • about running out of toilet paper,

  • there's a new online toilet paper calculator

  • that will help people figure out how long your supply will last

  • so that you-you can stop hoarding.

  • Yeah, because right now some people

  • have bought so much toilet paper

  • they can probably pass it down in their will.

  • Just be like, "And to my grandchildren,

  • "I bequeath my fine collection

  • "of Charmin Ultra Soft

  • "that I bought during the corona crisis

  • "of 2020.

  • (coughs)"

  • So that's the good news.

  • The bad news is that the coronavirus world tour

  • is still in full swing.

  • In India, Prime Minister Modi

  • has ordered a 100 million people under lock down.

  • That's right. An entire bus in India

  • is not allowed to move.

  • And in Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel

  • became the first European leader to self-quarantine.

  • And the country has banned groups of more than two people

  • from gathering, which is really unfortunate for Germans,

  • because you realize it takes at least five people

  • to get in or out of lederhosen.

  • Like, leather pants are no joke. You can't do that alone.

  • Now, the big international news today is over in Japan,

  • where the Summer Olympics

  • look like they're being postponed until 2021.

  • Yeah.

  • They're postponing the Olympic Games.

  • Meanwhile, Tom and Linda

  • are going forward with their game night as planned.

  • Yeah, I thought I'd gotten out of it,

  • but now they want me to "do it over Skype."

  • Unbelievable. How do you even play game night over Skype?

  • W-Which cards do you have? That's the point of the game.

  • Got to show you my cards so you know what cards have,

  • and then I'm playing with my cards at home...

  • Just cancel, Tom and Linda! Just cancel.

  • But in I was Japan, I would have still held the games

  • even if all the other countries dropped out,

  • 'cause think about it--

  • if everybody else is out,

  • you win gold in every event.

  • Although they also come last in every event.

  • Yeah, but still, I mean, you just sing the national anthem

  • and... for winners and...

  • Either way, I would have held the event.

  • The other way to save the Olympics is you can just do it

  • over Zoom or Skype like everything else right now,

  • you know?

  • Just have all the gymnasts doing their thing in different places.

  • They could all describe it to each other. You know?

  • Just be like, (American accent): "Okay, hi, everybody, am I on?

  • "Can you see me? I'm gonna do...

  • I'm gonna do a f... a back flip right now."

  • (German accent): "Sorry, what-what did you say?

  • "I can't hear you. You breaking up, you're breaking up.

  • Did you-did you just say... did you say 'dog shit'?

  • (American accent): "No, I said back flip.

  • I'm gonna do a back flip."

  • (Russian accent): "Hey, guys, it's Katerina here.

  • I just got on. Is it my turn to do force flip yet?"

  • (American accent): "No, I... It's my... I'm doing the thi...

  • You know what, let-let..."

  • (normal accent): Personally, I think they should

  • just turn social distancing into an Olympic sport.

  • Yeah. We can watch that.

  • Have you watched people these days? Huh?

  • When they're walking down the street,

  • going to the grocery store. Every time someone gets

  • within six feet of them, they're basically doing Olympic moves.

  • (grunting)

  • Now, despite coronavirus

  • being one of the most stressful situations

  • the world has ever experienced,

  • it has also given us

  • moments of pure comedy gold.

  • For instance, in Italy,

  • despite being one of the hardest-hit countries,

  • with 60,000 confirmed cases, some Italians

  • are still going out,

  • living their normal lives and having fun.

  • Which is not only irresponsible,

  • it's stressing a lot of people out. Right?

  • And so a lot of Italian mayors and local leaders

  • have started posting videos

  • yelling at people to go back home.

  • Yo, I got to say, I love how direct Italians are.

  • Because in America, mayors are like,

  • "Please help to flatten the curve

  • "to limit your excursions to only essential travel.

  • Please, we know people aren't doing this. We need you."

  • And in Italy, they're just like, "Get the (bleep) inside.

  • "I'll knock your teeth in.

  • "You don't listen me. Why you don't listen?

  • "I'm going to come there and punch you in the face.

  • "I'm going to... going to break you.

  • You're mine, and I'm going to break you."

  • Now, while leaders in Italy are threatening

  • to come and kick their constituents' ass,

  • the residents of Spain seem to be a little more well-behaved.

  • And so, to reward the citizens stuck at home,

  • the police are driving around

  • and performing for people in the streets.

  • (Policeman speaks Spanish)

  • (people speak Spanish)

  • (Policeman speaks Spanish)

  • Uno, dos, tres.

  • (singing lively song in Spanish, rhythmic clapping)

  • Oh. You see?

  • That's nice.

  • That's a really nice thing for those police to do,

  • and something that would never work in the U.S.A.

  • Can you imagine that?

  • Police driving out, jumping out of their cars,

  • with instruments playing for people?

  • As soon as black people start clapping,

  • the cops would lose their shit, and just be like,

  • "And we're here to sing for you."

  • And black people would be like, "Yay!" Be like,

  • "Shots fired! Shots fired! Shots fired!"

  • Be like, "Yo, man, I was clapping."

  • "Put your hands down!"

  • "I can't. They're my hands, man!

  • They're my hands!"

  • All right, so, that's some

  • of what's going on around the world.

  • So let's switch gears and catch up

  • on everything over here in the U.S.

  • Over the past few days,

  • more high-profile people have tested positive for coronavirus.

  • Andy Cohen has coronavirus.

  • Senator Rand Paul has coronavirus.

  • Even Harvey Weinstein, who's in prison,

  • has tested positive for coronavirus,

  • which makes coronavirus the first thing

  • that's come into contact with Harvey Weinstein by choice.

  • Now, because Rand Paul tested positive,

  • a number of senators who came into contact with him

  • quarantined themselves out of precaution.

  • And when Trump was asked about one of those senators,

  • he could barely contain his glee.

  • President Trump's press briefing yesterday started

  • on notes of unity and strength, but quickly turned

  • to him appearing to mock Senator Mitt Romney's decision

  • to self-isolate himself.

  • MAN: On top of Senator Paul,

  • now four senators are in isolation,

  • and the rules say that in order to vote

  • -they have to be there. -Who are they, please?

  • -Who are they? -Uh, Romney, Senator Lee.

  • Senator Gardner, Senator Rick Scott.

  • Senator Gardner and... Senator Rick Scott, also.

  • Two of them were in contact with him,

  • -with Rand Paul. -Rick is coming out.

  • Uh, with the stimulus package vote expected soon...

  • -Romney's in isolation? -Yes. -Yes.

  • -Gee, that's too bad. -Um...

  • -Go ahead. -Uh, did I detect sarcasm there... sir?

  • -No. None whatsoever. -Uh...

  • Ooh! Goddamn!

  • You know, even if we all get wiped out,

  • I feel like Trump's pettiness is gonna be the only thing

  • that survives this pandemic.

  • And, like, there's no good time for a president to be a dick,

  • but what he did there was a little...

  • I mean, it was shitty, right?

  • Mitt Romney's in danger

  • after being exposed to the virus, right?

  • And Mitt Romney's wife, Ann, has MS,

  • so she's at a higher risk for complications.

  • And I bet Trump didn't even think of this when he spoke.

  • You know, because he can't imagine a husband

  • and wife ever getting close enough to expose one another.

  • Now obviously, it's not just famous people

  • testing positive for coronavirus.

  • Every day, the number of infected people

  • in America goes up by thousands.

  • And because of that, hospitals are now being overwhelmed.

  • Doctors are running out of vital supplies,

  • like masks, gloves and gowns.

  • And it's gotten so desperate that the CDC is telling doctors

  • to just try and use scarfs and bandanas.

  • That's really troubling... for two reasons.

  • One-- doctors are obviously gonna be at an increased risk

  • of getting infected by the virus.

  • And two-- every hospital is gonna start looking

  • like it's being run by the Crips and the Bloods.

  • "Hey, man, don't you ever let me

  • "catch you prescribing shit in my ward, Cous.

  • Now let me get that CT scan on Miss Chewalsky."

  • So, now,

  • the hospital equipment shortage has gotten so dire

  • that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced

  • that the state was forced to buy

  • two million masks from overseas

  • for about five times their regular price.

  • And even though some mask manufacturers in America

  • are ramping up production, it's not happening fast enough.

  • It's not happening fast enough

  • for the doctors who are on the front lines.

  • And so, governors have been pleading with President Trump

  • to use The Defense Production Act

  • to force private companies in America

  • to produce all the supplies hospitals desperately need.

  • But Trump has refused to use this law,

  • implying that it would turn America

  • into Venezuela. Yeah.

  • And while he's telling American governors

  • to figure things out for themselves,

  • he also wrote a letter to Kim Jung-un,

  • offering to help North Korea to fight the coronavirus.

  • So at this point,

  • I don't know what's more unbelievable.

  • That Donald Trump is worrying about North Korea,

  • or that he was able to write an entire letter.

  • Like, if you ask me,

  • maybe that's what doctors in America need to do.

  • They need to take two hours off

  • and launch some missiles into the Sea of Japan.

  • Then, maybe Trump will be like,

  • "Nice shot, guys. Great missile launch.

  • "Here are some masks.

  • Game recognizes game."

  • So, with many hospitals struggling

  • and the federal government not doing enough

  • to solve the crisis, everyone is trying their best

  • to help out however they can.

  • TV medical shows are donating all of their supplies--

  • their masks, their gloves, their gowns--

  • that they've been using as props.

  • This is a real thing that is happening right now.

  • TV shows, TV doctor hospital shows

  • are giving their props in.

  • And I'm glad that they're not giving their doctors in.

  • Those doctors are mad sexy.

  • If you thought coronavirus made it hard to breathe before,

  • can you imagine being treated by McDreamy?

  • (wheezes loudly) "Doctor?"

  • "Are you okay? Is something wrong?

  • (wheezes)

  • "Are those the symptoms?"

  • (wheezes) "No, it's your eyes."

  • (wheezes) "I can't breathe."

  • Now, because the numbers of people infected keep increasing,

  • governors of nine states have ordered

  • their citizens into lockdown, which means, right now,

  • a hundred million Americans are forced to stay at home.

  • A hundred million people.

  • That's one-third of the U.S. population,

  • or one subway car in New York.

  • And because a hundred million people

  • are forced to stay at home,

  • the economy is on the brink of an historic collapse.

  • Over the weekend, an official

  • with the Federal Reserve predicted

  • that the unemployment rate could skyrocket

  • all the way up to 30%.

  • And to give you perspective, that would be worse

  • than any point during the Great Depression.

  • Yeah.

  • So, to try and stop this from happening,

  • Congress has been working

  • on a massive $2 trillion stimulus,

  • a $2 trillion stimulus package

  • that would give people money and keep businesses afloat.

  • But negotiations between Republicans and Democrats

  • have been contentious, and the main sticking point

  • has been the Republicans are proposing

  • that a huge chunk of the stimulus money

  • would go into a slush fund

  • controlled by the Trump administration.

  • Yeah. So, imagine that.

  • Trump would have a ton of money that he could control,

  • and they wouldn't even have to tell the public

  • who they gave the money to for six months.

  • Six months is a lot of time.

  • Trump will be in Mexico by that time

  • living under an alias.

  • Senor Trumpo.

  • You realize Trump would basically be able to choose

  • which businesses he wants to survive

  • and which businesses he wants to end up like his businesses.

  • Basically, any company that has publicly opposed Trump

  • or makes vegetables could get screwed.

  • It's over for them.

  • The Jolly Green Giant is gonna be out here

  • selling his kidney just to make ends meet.

  • And while lawmakers are haggling over funding

  • and health-care professionals are trying to keep people alive,

  • many parents across the nation are facing a struggle right now.

  • And that struggle

  • is being stuck at home with their kids.

  • So, earlier on, I gave Desi Lydic a call

  • to see how she's handling being a stuck-at-home mom.

  • (ringing)

  • -D-Desi, hey. -Hi.

  • -Oh, wow. So good to see your face. -Trevor.

  • How you doing?

  • I mean, I'm-I'm... I'm-I'm self-quarantined.

  • I'm-I'm doing what everyone else is doing.

  • -How are you doing? -Oh, I'm good.

  • I'm so... I'm great. I'm...

  • We're-we're.. We're doing great, you know.

  • Just a lot of family bonding time.

  • A lot of time together, which is...

  • -Right. -You know, we don't get that a lot,

  • so I guess small silver lining in this thing.

  • You know, so, so much time together.

  • Just a lot of just being trapped in a one-bedroom apartment

  • with a small child for two weeks.

  • So it's... it's good.

  • But for such a tight space, I'm actually finding

  • a lot of new places to cry in, so that-that's good.

  • Oh, wow. Um...

  • Well, I mean, look on the bright side.

  • At least you have people there.

  • Like, I-I don't have kids,

  • so it's just me alone at home.

  • Like, I'm trying to find ways to kill time.

  • Like, yesterday, I put all my...

  • I put all my T-shirts on at the same time.

  • Like, all of them. That's how lonely I am.

  • Like, you have your family. You can spend time with them.

  • No, no, no, Trevor, I would love...

  • I would love to be that lonely right now.

  • See, when you have a kid, you go into it thinking,

  • "I'm gonna spend an hour tops a day. Tops."

  • I'm spending 24 hours a day with him.

  • It's a lot.

  • Normally, he'd go to school.

  • He'd come back with a cute story.

  • You know, some kid fell down on the playground,

  • and he laughed. It was hilarious.

  • All of his stories, I already know.

  • I'm in all the stories.

  • I'm here to see it all.

  • It's the worst.

  • Wow, okay.

  • I mean, I hope...

  • I hope he's not hearing you say any of this.

  • But, like... But, like, at school and...

  • Go back in your room.

  • No, just go back in your room, buddy.

  • Go back in your room.

  • Make Mommy a drink.

  • An old-fashioned.

  • With the... Muddle it.

  • You got to muddle it.

  • Use all that upper body strength.

  • What?

  • But, like, other than making drinks, I'm...

  • Are you... Are you also teaching your kid at home?

  • 'Cause I know a lot of moms and-and families

  • have been saying that homeschooling

  • has been the hardest part of this self-distancing process.

  • Are you... Are you homeschooling your kid?

  • Yeah. Yeah, it's going terribly.

  • It's-it's horrible.

  • I'm, like, expected to know all of this stuff

  • that I've forgotten about long ago.

  • Like, like, do you even remember learning

  • about the different types of clouds?

  • Yeah.

  • Well, he-he came in, and he was like,

  • "Mommy, my favorite type of cloud is a cumu...

  • cumin... cuminim... cuminim." I-I don't even know.

  • -I don't even know what the... -Cumulonimbus?

  • Yeah, yeah. That.

  • I almost spanked him

  • 'cause I thought he was saying a dirty word.

  • And then we're supposed to go over the capitals of states.

  • You know the capital of Maine is Augusta?

  • Not the way it should be. It should be Maine City.

  • They should all be like that.

  • Maine City.

  • Alabama City. Colorado City.

  • Capital of the United States

  • should be America City.

  • Shut up, Siri.

  • Shut up. Shut up.

  • So many voices.

  • There are just so many. It's just incessant.

  • Okay, but here's the thing. Like, I-I feel like...

  • I feel like right now you're feeling it,

  • but think on the bright side.

  • Like, after this is done, you'll know all the clouds,

  • and you'll learn about all the cities.

  • Like, you'll get to learn the things

  • that-that your son is learning in school.

  • So, like, it's a win-win.

  • No, but we're not... No, we're not gonna do that anymore.

  • -What? -I'm not doing it anymore.

  • No, I'm not gonna homeschool anymore.

  • Listen, none of this stuff is gonna come in handy.

  • I'm gonna teach him stuff post-corona.

  • He's gonna know what it's like to live post-corona, right?

  • Like how to MacGyver a mask

  • out of his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle underwear.

  • That's gonna come in handy.

  • How to search for quarters in the dirt?

  • Valuable skill.

  • How to cook a rat with a magnifying glass.

  • He'll be glad I taught him that.

  • Why are you eating rats?

  • It's, like, just gonna be, like, a month or... Like...

  • We don't know, Trevor. We don't know.

  • -(mouths) -Yeah, but, I mean...

  • Yeah, but I feel like... I feel like the things you...

  • I-I... Look, I hear you. I just think those things

  • you're teaching him are a little...

  • I think it's a little extreme.

  • -That's... -No, he'll thank me later.

  • He'll thank me later.

  • -(timer beeps) -What? I'm coming.

  • And I'll be right there. I...

  • I got to go. Sorry, recess is over.

  • Oh, fun. What does... what does he do for recess?

  • I don't know. Recess is for me.

  • Bye.

  • Okay, bye.

  • Is that... is that vodka? What?

  • Yeah. So, that was Desi Lydic, everybody,

  • who I think is raising Mad Max.

  • Thank you so much for tuning in. But before we go,

  • if you want to help out during this time, remember you can.

  • We ask that if you have anything,

  • please go to NoKidHungry.org

  • and donate to kids who get meals

  • while their schools are shut down.

  • If you want to help feed kids specifically in New York City,

  • then go to CityHarvest.org

  • and you can donate whatever you're able to.

  • Stay safe out there or stay safe in there, inside.

  • And I'll see you here tomorrow.

Let's kick it off
