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

Agree wholeheartedly!

they are too busy planning on how to use the money they just saved in the stimulus bill. Major property depreciation change is going to save the 1% millions. But we get to enjoy 1000, if you qualify.

Except they're full of shit. It's like people who say they're pro-life and then don't want to fund schools or think CHIP is a waste, and bemoan programs that help kids. They say all the things that will get them clicks/views/followers and money. And that's what it's all about for them. Beck says that line knowing full well that he'll never get called on it. And that makes him one of the biggest POS's around.

Yep NY, LA, and every major city needs help in the medical areas.

They weren’t concerned about their grandchildren’s future when they voted for Trump

See combatting climate change is bad for oil and gas companies who buy Republicans

But that would somehow tank the economy and wreck the future!!!!

I like that he listed 'illness' as one of the things he wanted to spare them from, while asking people to go expose themselves.

"I don't want my children to be slaves to debt!" Same people: "Raise minimum wage? College loan debt forgiveness? Basic universal income? Medicare for all? Ew, no way!"

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

-Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to accept

Exactly! The worst thing about the Coronavirus is not that "only" people die who might "deserve" it but also a lot of other people not wanting this sh*t. Let it put me this way: If a guy like this - while "sacrifiyng himself for money - would infect my 92-year old grandma and she dies from that, I'd punch that guy in the face.

Were American built tough

death rate is very little for your information. but yea.. ur right

@johnmburt1960 What can you expect from this kind of people,the only thing that really they care is the money they mass through their entire life.. without mention that in order to mass that fortune they have to pass over people, they don't care about number of dead they care the numbers of their stock market are crashing down. those idiot decrepit rich assholes , they are not thinking with the right head. but once again with people in their house economy getting down just make me think where really the power is.. is in all of us, without us everything is nothing their money is nothing their power is just fiction.

Its what we need right now

4:07 It's honestly INSANE to look at that count.... 593 deaths in the US. Where I live, at this stage in the timeline, that many people have died....by 3 orders of magnitude. *_Over half a million people._* More Americans died from THIS virus than during WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and all the myriad Middle East wars....combined. But one year ago....no one realized that would one day be the reality. Genuinely depressing... Thankfully, I'm ok....I finally got vaccinated just 3 days ago. First shot of two. But I know a number of people who got VERY sick from this....most of all my brother. He's young, just 34, and super healthy/in shape....but when he got it, he got very very sick. Upsettingly so. And I know 3 people who died from this. My bosses brother died.... And yet....for some reason, I find myself rewatching these old LWT videos. Why? In part....for the nostalgia. I remember March/April of 2020 rather fondly...in a weird way. I was temporarily laid off work, getting unemployment, basically just at home every day....starting a garden, taking walks, thinking, reading....with John Oliver and Seth Meyers to keep me sane. I grew my hair out. It was a weird mini vacation from reality....and honestly, it was wonderful. ONLY because I did not get seriously sick or knew anyone who did at the time. But I just find it genuinely bizarre how I feel a real sense of nostalgia for the early days of the pandemic. Late March...Early April. I'll never forget that time....it kinda changed me. In some honestly really good ways. And I strangely miss it a bit. Can anyone else relate at all? Just curious.

Moving Robin I mean that’s like years away from wiping out humanity. Might even be a couple decades. That’s so far away. These kinds of responses to the current situation show how short sighted and myopic some individuals can be to the whole picture. Do you honestly expect those who can’t see the forest from the trees would see the impending doom coming from so far away? If it’s not immediate danger, they are oblivious to it.

​@@MungkaeX Neither Corona nor Climate Change will wipe out humanity. Both kill many people and trying to counter both should be of importance to us all. Extreme weather conditions such as droughts and floods as well as diseases which can all be well corelated to the changing climate kill more people each year than Corona most likely will in the next 10 years. Trying to counter it should be of importance if we think about our children and grandchildren. Since they will have to live with how the coastlines change, less drinkable water in many regions and farming areas going arid beyond what can be compensated.

MungkaeX it is not far away, most scientists predict we have less then 20 years. By the time the newborns are able to vote devastating effects of climate change will cause everyone and i mean everyone to go into poverty. Republicans make out climate change to be so far away but it really isn’t. California has already been fucked, Australia has been fucked, even the amazon has been fucked and it gets worse from here.

Exactly what I was thinking when I heard that comment smh

Same with gun control.

Yup, they care about their own money and getting re-elected.

EXACTLY

Spot on. Is this the last chapter of the US we know today? Maybe I’m being to fatalistic, but what you say, combined with a wide spread uncontrolled virus by Easter, could very well be the tipping point. I don’t live in the USA but the thought of you guys going under, is terrifying. And that’s putting it mildly... Pleasepleaseplease elect a normal sane person next time. And pleasepleaseplease don’t let the ‘economy’ stand in the way of growth and progress any more (talking to you guys who can’t shut up about buying stuff 24/7) Stay safe everybody!

@@divisiona3974 God I wish that were me

@@divisiona3974 I'm going to vote for someone sane, but I can't speak for the rest of the country. Hopefully the half of the nation that didn't get off their asses to go to the polls in 2016 will realize that maybe they should actually exercise their rights to use democracy come November...

America is like the Ferangi on star trek

The Tayterminator Ferangi: Lets see how can we profit from all this death?

The companies wouldn't be able to make profits so let's just make people to come back to work and who are gonna be affected more....the stupid poor people who don't have health care and the middle class are gonna go bankrupt but that's more profit for us. And so many are gonna die.....but who the hell cares .......so let's do this guys..... lets open up the country.....u capitalism has run its course....when u have to work during a pandemic.

Who told you that this is an exclusively American sentiment? Look around, look beyond our shores and you will see that there are stupid people everywhere, even though we may take the crown!

nixl America leads the way by leagues!

Also if he did give a shit, he would be talking about how global warming is a problem and how it will badly effect his “future” generation. He would also uses toilet.

Well he does care about his kids, but he's a top 1%er. He just doesn't care that we have to risk illness and death going back to work to make sure the inheritance keeps them rich.

Yes he clearly doesn't care about these issues that he's talked about before

@@rheawelsh4142 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ He could actually fight for universal healthcare and advocate for student loan forgiveness and affordable education if he cared, like the rest of us that actually do care are doing. If he cares about his kids going into debt and living a life a slave to the system because of debt, he would advocate for changes that are long-term and economically useful and progressive (which Universal health care and free education have proven to be more than economically advantageous) , instead of crying about his country not letting him walk into the streets of a pandemic. Your children and grandchildren are going to live in debt if you continue to argue for the wrong things.

Thank you for wisdom.

Thank you!

Thank you so much! Your work is essential

Same here. It's...I don't have words to describe it.

Thank you and stay as safe as possible

Man what would I do if there aren't people like you around keeping the stores open, stay safe man

Yes, he does that when he is scared. He cares about his country.

Go and watch the Trump-puts-children-in-cages episode

I think the angriest I've heard him was the DNC video from 3, 4 years ago where Trump put on his racist hat to victim shame someone

That anger is DEFINITELY justified. His incompetence is literally killing us.

The fact that there is actual silence when he speaks about it makes it even more grim. But the truth has to be that way. I'm actually scared for this country

Trump point is , people are dieing and you play gotcha !

At this point, I'm thinking he's just developing dementia.

That man is a fleshy dump truck.

@@RoseUnseen No...

He set the date to April 30th if you haven't seen

nah you see, they're rich enough to provide education for their children without putting them into debt. it's not their problem, it's a YOU problem, so they don't care

@@SuperSupermanX1999 Right! They won't be the ones facing eviction/homelessness or getting turned away from the hospital

“Go out there and get to work!” says semi retired home based broadcaster.

Oh. And. IGNORING FUCKING CLIMATE CHANGE. Like, these dickheads are so stupid! Like. Poverty, food scarcity, debt, disease. They are HERE. Student debt, Medical Debt, Climate change. Corona virus. All the things he is talking about are HERE. How is he going to protect anyone from any of those things, when they are here NOW. And they are ignoring it? Ugh.

@@SuperSupermanX1999 I get that's how they think. But like. Edgar Allen Poe literally wrote a poem all about the rich hiding ad the world burns outside. Guess how that turns out? Like. Man. The things they are talking about are HERE. Debt, disease, poverty. And yet, they weaken access to health care, won't get rid of stufent debt, ignore vaccines and climate change. You can only hide for so long. Those things will come for the rich, too. You can't hide forever. It's like Trump being a raging dick, ruining his own foreign policy goals. You are ignoring the very problems you claim to worry about, man. Never mind millenials, who have been dismissed as whiney and entitled. Gen Z is going to be so turbo fucked by the time they reach our age. Like. These kids futures will not happen. When Gretta brought this up, they dismissed her, for giving a shit about these very problems. It's infuriating.

Okay that made me laugh 😂🤣

Brilliant!

How dare you xD

I thought student debt

“The scientists are lying to you. Trust us. We voted a reality tv star into the presidency” - Republicans

Profound words brother. Good wisdom in that quote.

Actually Trump said this as well.

Deborah Mahon When?!!! Show me this video. I need to see this.

Yeah link it I highly doubt he said that

To be fair, those that perish aren’t exactly that vital to the economy. You guys have just gotta learn to let go. My parents aren’t actively seeking to die, but they aren’t that interested in hanging around for too Long either.

That's what I was thinking...dont let them go to college or get seriously ill

His children and grandchildren won't be slaves to debt anyways. He's only worth $250 million. They'll be better than fine come inheritance time.

Not to mention that we already have the largest national debt, ever!

Saga Nova it’s kind of like a bitch slap to all millennials who are in the medical field who have upwards of 300k or more in debt from college and further schooling like doctorates... so um how about fix that first

He just means his own grandchildren; he has no problem with other families being slaves to debt.

I thought that was the original title for his show.

How dare you call Lord Farquaad "that guy"

it reminds me of "he died doing what I love"

Same could be said for the other side that seems to have forgotten that history has shown that violence tends to brake out when people can no longer afford food.

True, but for some reason, I feel like you're missing the real irony of your statement. What I'm seeing is a whole bunch of people who are more than happy to see hundreds of thousands of people die in a global economic Depression, as long as they can pretend that the REAL issue is Trump's refusal to spread enough panic over what is basically a bad case of the goddamn flu. Do you really think that economic disasters have no real-world impact? From the deaths caused by depression, mental illness and suicide to the mass starvation of third-world peoples who rely on the economic prosperity of first world nations, the cost in lives and misery is going to be far, far higher from economic collapse than it ever could have been from Covid-19. I dislike Trump as much as anyone, but at some point you need to ask yourselves in a global suicide pact is really the answer.

Sergio Melendez totally agree. I think I prefer the more somber tone in fact. John is hilarious, of course. But he also does a great job of telling a story and conveying important information. I’d seriously watch hours of this.

Best writers ever thank you for your hard work.

Yeah except for its completely outdated. Made no mention of Cuomo thinking the needs of new York are more important than the needs elsewhere. And the fact he sat on thousands of ventilators after refusing to buy more equipment last years

Agreed. I have never taken John Oliver so seriously, but with each Coronavirus episode, the situation and its implications become ever more stark.

Well said. I agree.

that Xwing pilot hey do you have a link to where he said that. It’s a really great quote and I want to archive it

Pretty ironic from a nation that run to the world bank for a reset every 18 months.

Except there is a balancing act. An economy that fails causes loss of life too.

The reason of the fmi rushed was a forced hand of political and economical outside forces.

precisely the words of a corrupt good-for-nothing hypocrite who is running the country he leads into abject poverty and despair. I should know, I'm in it

I don’t know anymore okay? And if you don’t like it you can leave. Hard to earn enough to leave when you’re paying rent from 20 years ago back.

Does he not know of the heinous student loan debt every young person (who wants to go to college) has to contend with in America lol

The funny part is that debt at the federal level of a country with control over its own currency really doesn't matter nearly as much as people think. Republicans, however, have made the national debt their rallying cry for decades. So when they suddenly stop caring about debt during Republican presidencies (as they've done since Reagan), they manage to become complete hypocrites while also not being entirely wrong. (The wrong part is how they grow/use debt: unnecessary tax cuts and insane defense spending.)

And slavery

I don’t know anymore Yeah it’s called student loan debt Plus other things

I feel I should have been born in Britain because of your comment on his comment 😅

first thing i thought of when he said that is HMMMM he has perfectly described the inside of my brain this morning.....

Raiden is British confirmed.

Rumour has it, he hangs on in quiet desperation.

But millions will be doomed to illness, poverty, starvation, and a lack of hope! Oh wait.

Now, if he wanted the economy to recover more quickly... why is he broadcasting from home and not his office? Seems like a do what I say, not as I do kind of guy.

Surely he will vote for Bernie right? Right?!

It´s like the worse the situation, the harder they push against the average citizen.

"I only want the economy to thrive for young people if the credit for it can be linked back to me." Asinine

True.

I watch this every week and I never really thought it was funny. I watch bc it's informative. 95% of his jokes are weak af, but it's one of the most factual show out there.

@@DN_13 I enjoy his odd little humor, but yeah, i'm here for the facts.

Yep I feeeel you. I'm also exhausted because I'm an introvert and now every customer wants to talk my ear off about it. I really would rather be at home.

STICKY THIS COMMENT AT THE VERY TOP!!!

idk what state/country you're in but check if you do have a choice to quarantine and protect your employment or sick leave

Maybe some of those upright church-goers will volunteer to do your job during this crisis. That guy talking to Tucker Carlson said if saving the economy means risking his life, he's "in". How about his children or wife volunteer to work in grocery stores just until this crisis is over so that people who WANT to stay home, can. (Edited to correct a typo.)

NO ONE should be working IN RETAIL, unless they provide an ESSENTIAL service, like GROCERY STORE employees or PHARMACIES! People don't need stores that sell appliances, furniture, clothing, shoes, and all the myriad other things sold in American stores to stay open!!

80% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. In a sane country, that would translate to "80% of Americans live in poverty". Hopefully once you pay off that college debt you'll be able to not spend the rest of your life in debt.

You have him confused with someone who gives a shit about OTHER people's children. He doesn't. He cares only about HIS children & grandchildren having a nice fat stock portfolio, at the expense of other people's children.

lmao where was that mentality with climate change?

That’s your own fault if you take on debt you can’t afford to pay off with a gender studies degree. There are plenty of community colleges and state schools are affordable.

@@mnypit how about trillion dollars of national debt?

It's a sacrifice they're willing to have others make.

I don't live in the us so idk how it's there but where I live I know lots of middle people, myself included, who aren't afraid to die cause we understand whether or not there's an afterlife, death is part of life, just the last one, it's also inevitable and what gives life meanings. On the other hand we aren't dumbasses, we know to appreciate life and don't just try to die, if we can choose life or death, we choose life(besides when we're depressed af) If you read all of that 👏👏👏 If you didn't care, well idc udc...have a nice day.

@Danijel Mornarić what's interesting is that the average death rate on a nationwide scale goes down during recession, so hey, lowering death rates in multiple ways.

I mean it made me angry and I'm not even American

If I may, I suggest therapy right now, ongoing. They are right at the front of the pandemic, they are going to work wondering if there are going to be enough masks and they are watching patients die by the dozen despite their best efforts. Being a healthcare worker is stressfull on an average day, I can't even imagine what working through a pandemic must feel to them.

It is disgusting that we have treated therapy as a luxury in our country

@Gluepops what's donut theory you don't need to answer because i'm just being lazy, but yeah capitalism is terrible at being flexible and we can't always be making more money especially when the rich don't contribute to society.

It isn’t about capitalism vs socialism, the more major issue is our dedication the the stock market. Most European countries are capitalist, including Norway, Denmark and such.

Now, there are a lot more options for vocational jobs now than when I was in college, I was pushed to go to college in high school. I’m in my early 30s and I’m still paying off my debt.

Yes, eerie and dark. Makes me depressed as well considering how more and more information is known as time goes by, but the delusion doesn't seem to let up. Every week that goes by it's more baffling to see people still maintaining their crazy positions, but I guess relying on information (or being able to scrutinize what information is reliable) was never their strong suit anyway. Glad I live in a country that lucked into having strong leadership in place for this crisis, but I feel very sorry for Americans they have to put up with this.

@@gamerstar117 I only know of the vote where Canada voted 'yes' on deliberations to give Palestinians the right to self-determination. What other votes did we break with the US over? And what do you know about Ambassador Kelly Craft? I know she used to be the US Ambassador to Canada, and she wasn't exactly a bright star during her time here in Ottawa. She's a dyed in the wool Republican, she and her husband have given millions to to various red state campaigns, but none more so than Trump's inaugural fund. Her husband is a coal magnate from Kentucky, and they've spent years, both in the private sector and now in public office, skewing the conversation around climate change and the just transition away from coal consumption. She was put up for the role thanks to Mitch McConnell, which is a big red flag. She's towing the Trump unilateral mindset in the country's official approaches to the climate crisis, refugee resettlement, immigration policy, recognizing health and gender initiatives around the globe, and geopolitical conflict in Syria, Yemen, Iran, Myanmar, Libya, and Sudan. Previous American UN Ambassadors have been coming forward in recent days to denounce America's withdraw from multinational bodies of oversight, including the retracting of funding to the WHO. Nikki Haley called it one of Putin's "wildest dreams." What do we owe them for backtracking on years of international cooperation that could have cemented North American leadership as the envy of the world stage, and pushed back against the rapid growth of authoritarian governments around the world? And you think that Canadians owe more to the States than they owe us? Do you know how long they've been a brain drain on our country for, luring away our brightest minds and strong-arming our industries into beneficial relationships for themselves? And as for the glib, punchy comment about how without them we'd be speaking another foreign language, you can forget about that. Every major international conflict with the exception of Vietnam and Iraq, Canada was there, and still have deployed service members around the globe. The only reason there's been escalation with North Korea is a direct correlation to America's continued presence on the Korean peninsula and the era of nuclear proliferation that was seen as an intimidation measure, not as an American insurance plan for maintaining peace abroad. And Trump seems to be perfectly fine with allowing foreign influence in American elections and international diplomacy, so that bogus claim that we might all be speaking Russian might actually come to fruition if he continues to win a second term.

Actually it’s when a reporter is too stupid to understand the answer.

"oh wow i wonder what I'm going to need to do, because oh no"

And guess how Trump interpreted that. "Wow cool, she totally agrees, this is great, I am great, this is beautiful, America is beautiful, I am beautiful, everyone agrees."

And it's not money their grandchildren are gonna need. It's resources. These same resources we're tearing thru so they can try to stockpile money for themselves ...

Agree. But considering the circumstances, that's a good thing.

It's so much better without the hysterical audience

I think he's just finally found something he can't joke about, which is kind of chilling. You know things are bad when John Oliver can't make things funny. He literally seemed like he was shaking with anger and grief at some parts.

and he seemed to stop with weird bathos-like jokes which only work with audiences. best episode since the quarantine began

RaymondKym Suttle no, because he has money, the country is built around capitalism and benefits the ones who already have a large capital. Bernies proposal would benefit them without.

His children will probably be in the same circle of wealth he is. His children won't be and that's all they care about

that they don't see the hypocrisy..

I can remember Glenn Beck foaming at the mouth about "death panels" during the Obamacare debates. Guess he likes them now?

No. You've got the wrong idea: he doesn't want _his_ children to be slaves to debt. He actually needs other kids to be slaves so that our short-sighted brand of late stage capitalism can continue. m.webtoons.com/en/comedy/adventures-of-god/ep-327-the-real-virus/viewer?title_no=853&episode_no=327

@mark bushnell if you mean on the right side, looked like a "paper cabinet".. sorta like file cabinets, except for larger sheets of paper, and maybe more "drawers"...

I'm willing to have others die. "1 death is a tragedy, 1 million is a statistic" We can all be grateful that Trump is president and not Stalin. It's kind of pathetic when you only rank a little better than Stalin.

People are willing to die to not be poor. That's been the case for awhile, where have you been?

It's a horrible death, too. It's not some kind of "you just quietly go to sleep" death. It's a gasping for air every moment in terror kind of death. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

It cannot. Once on a Ventilator, your likelihood of death is around 70%. If they need it, they have a good chance of getting their wish fulfilled.

Definitely. If people who smoke are put lower down the list of transplants, this should be the way for COVID-19 patients too.

"But you are more than welcome to go back to your party though"

Dan Goodfellow - Darwin’s theory of the survival of the fittest will be able to be seen as it actually happens, with the stupid people killing themselves for a “corona party”!

At some point they'll have to prioritize people and let some of them die. The young and stupid will be the biggest priority and older people will be left to themselves. That's the truth!

Being poor isn't that bad. Beats the hell out of being dead. But he is not risking death. He wants all the lower class people to do that so his money isn't impacted negatively.

Because they realize poor people die earlier. That's who's working the "essential jobs." The grocery store and restaurant workers.

I can't say I'm afraid of either. I prefer to avoid both with death being the priority on the "avoid- o-meter". I am confident in my ability to come back from being poor. I am not so sure about my comeback skill vs. death.

Yea you're wife's boring.

And still poor people are massively supporting Trump.

His base would probably still rally around him if he literally killed people

Adam Porter he is literally getting people killed by his inaction. His downplaying of the threat certainly has gotten more people infected and thus killed than what would have happened if he didn’t care about the fucking number of the Dow Jones that “is bigger than its ever been”, as if it hasn’t always gone up under almost every single president ever.
