  • - Let's kick it off with the big news.

  • (upbeat instrumental music)

  • Whether you wanna believe in coronavirus or not,

  • it is real and today the Unites States passed

  • the 10,000 coronavirus deaths.

  • And experts are saying that that number

  • is probably undercounting things

  • because apparently many deaths in the U.S. have been labeled

  • as pneumonia or influenza when they were likely coronavirus.

  • Now, as America reaches the hardest week yet

  • of this epidemic states around the country have been begging

  • the federal government to help them find ventilators

  • for their overcrowded hospitals,

  • but because the federal government

  • took so long to react to this crisis,

  • (air whooshes) President Trump

  • just doesn't have enough ventilators to go around.

  • (air whooshes)

  • What he can give people, though,

  • is some unsolicited medical advice.

  • - [Reporter] President Trump says he thinks doctors

  • should use the drug hydroxychloroquine

  • to treat patients who've tested positive.

  • - That's hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin,

  • and again you have to go through your medical people,

  • get the approval, but I've seen things that I sort of like

  • so what do I know, I'm not a doctor.

  • I'm not a doctor.

  • - Okay, here's what I don't get.

  • Trump is acknowledging he's not a doctor

  • while legitimate doctors, who could answer these questions,

  • are standing right there next to him.

  • Why are we getting his opinion at all?

  • Imagine if you went in for a checkup

  • and there was just some random dude behind your doctor

  • giving his opinion like,

  • "If you ask me, it looks like

  • "you got some of that AIDS cancer.

  • "But what do I know, I'm just a guy who hangs out here."

  • I do have to give some credit to Trump, though,

  • for at least giving us a disclaimer that he's not a doctor.

  • I mean, he doesn't normally do that.

  • In fact, he should end all

  • of his coronavirus press conferences

  • like a pharmaceutical ad.

  • He's just come out like,

  • "Donald Trump is not a doctor

  • "and his advice should not be taken seriously.

  • "If you have an erection lasting longer than four hours,

  • "please let Donald Trump know 'cause that's pretty cool."

  • Now, before you get depressed by the fact that America

  • is being led by someone who knows less about medicine

  • than Dr. Pepper,

  • there is still a lot of good news out there.

  • Don't lose hope.

  • For instance, in Europe, although Spain and Italy are still

  • reporting more than 10,000 new infections each day,

  • their corona numbers are finally slowing down

  • which could be a sign that the worst has past.

  • And South Korea, they're superstars.

  • They've reported only 47 new cases yesterday,

  • and with fewer that 200 deaths out of a population

  • of 51 million people, South Korea has basically emerged

  • as maybe the only nation to have handled the pandemic

  • with near complete success.

  • And I mean, let's be honest,

  • South Korea was always gonna beat corona

  • because from what I can tell,

  • everyone in that country has a basement

  • inside their basement.

  • (image pops)

  • So I mean, if you're the virus,

  • good luck finding a South Korean person.

  • (air whooshes) But maybe the best news

  • of all is that there are rumors

  • that Netflix might be dropping

  • a new episode of "Tiger King", people.

  • That's right.

  • Jeff Lowe told a fan online that he had been filmed

  • for a new episode scheduled to drop this week.

  • Yeah, and when has Jeff Lowe ever lied.

  • I mean, if you can't trust a 65 year old man

  • who dresses like a rebellious teenager,

  • who can you trust?

  • And I guess this is how low the bar has gotten

  • for what counts as good news right now.

  • We find out there's more episodes about deranged murderers

  • and people being cruel to animals

  • and we're like, "Yes!

  • "Oh, some good news, thank you, Lord."

  • And I'm gonna be honest guys, I am terrified of this news

  • because every episode

  • of "Tiger King" (air whooshes)

  • has been crazier than the previous episode.

  • (air whooshes) So what's gonna happen

  • in this new episode?

  • Are we gonna find out Carole Baskin and her husband

  • faked his death to get the insurance money,

  • and he's been secretly living

  • inside one of those tigers all along.

  • Ah!

  • But let's move on.

  • Over the weekend, we got a major update from the CDC.

  • After months of telling us

  • that only sick people should be wearing masks,

  • the CDC now says everyone should cover their faces

  • with masks made from cloth like shirts

  • or bandanas or scarves,

  • because apparently even people who don't have symptoms

  • of coronavirus can unknowingly spread the coronavirus.

  • We are all coronavirus.

  • Sounds like an inspirational message.

  • Even if you don't feel corona, corona can feel you.

  • So basically, any time we go outside for essentials,

  • all of us should have a bandana or something on our face.

  • The CDC's gonna have everybody looking like

  • broke-ass "Mortal Kombat" characters.

  • Get over here.

  • Whoa, whoa, whoa, dude, dude, coronavirus.

  • Not that close, just get over there.

  • But still, folks, that's a major shift from the CDC

  • and it's already having a big impact.

  • For instance, Joe Biden said that from now

  • he will wear a mask in public

  • because it's important to follow the science.

  • Meanwhile, President Trump

  • has said that these guidelines

  • are voluntary and he will probably not wear a mask,

  • which, let's be honest, doesn't surprise anyone.

  • Trump is all about appearance.

  • He's not going to be wearing a mask,

  • he doesn't care about safety.

  • In fact, the only way they can get him to wear a mask

  • is if his aides trick him.

  • Yeah, they just gotta trick him like he's a child,

  • "No, Mr. President, it's not a mask,

  • "it's a border wall for your face."

  • "So viruses are like the Mexicans of germs.

  • "I got it."

  • (upbeat instrumental music)

  • While the U.S. is bracing for an explosion

  • of new coronavirus infections,

  • the White House is also bracing for more backlash.

  • You see, they haven't been listening to coronavirus warnings

  • that they've been receiving for months.

  • Just today, Axios reported

  • that Peter Navarro, Trump's trade adviser,

  • wrote a memo back in January

  • where he warned very accurately

  • that if America didn't take immediate action

  • to stop the coronavirus,

  • it would break out in the United States

  • and it would kill hundreds of thousands of people.

  • And on top of that, he also predicted

  • that it would destroy the economy.

  • So Trump got warnings from the HHS,

  • got warnings from his intelligence agencies,

  • and even got warnings from his own economic advisers,

  • and he did heed any of those warnings.

  • Basically, if there's ever a warning

  • Trump just will ignore it.

  • Yeah, coronavirus, (air whooshes)

  • check engine light, (air whooshes)

  • I bet even chocking hazards. (air whooshes)

  • Half of Mike Pence's job is just pulling Legos

  • out of Trump's throat.

  • "It was a yellow piece

  • "so I thought it was a piece of cheese."

  • "I know, Mr. President, easy mistake to make, sir."

  • Now, it turns out Trump has been ignoring so many warnings

  • that "The Daily Show" investigation team managed to get

  • some of Donald Trump's voicemails

  • and it turns out, he was even ignoring warnings

  • from coronavirus itself.

  • (phone rings)

  • - [Automated Voice] You have four messages in your inbox.

  • Message one.

  • (phone beeps)

  • - [Coronavirus] Hey Donald, this is coronavirus calling.

  • Been trying to contact you for a little while now.

  • Wanted to let you know I'm gonna be branching out of China

  • into the United States soon.

  • I'm sure your advisors have already told you all about me,

  • but just wanted to confirm my schedule with you

  • and see if you have any plans for me.

  • Talk soon.

  • Like, really, really soon.

  • (phone clicks)

  • - [Automated Voice] Message two.

  • (phone beeps)

  • - [Coronavirus] Hey Donald, me again.

  • I just saw you on TV saying that I'm not coming.

  • Maybe you're not checking messages,

  • but I totally am coming.

  • Like, I've booked the flights and everything.

  • So, give me a call or something, man.

  • I'm starting to think you're ignoring me.

  • (phone clicks)

  • - [Automated Voice] Message three.

  • (phone beeps)

  • - [Cynthia] Hello Mr. Trump, this is Cynthia

  • from the adoption agency.

  • I just wanted to let you know

  • that we can't take your son Eric,

  • because he's a grown man.

  • I am so sorry about the bad news.

  • (phone clicks)

  • - [Automated Voice] Message four.

  • (phone beeps)

  • - [Coronavirus] Yo Donald, it's corona,

  • I'm at the airport.

  • I thought you'd have someone here to meet me,

  • but it doesn't seem like you've planned for my arrival,

  • so I'm just gonna hop into an Uber POOL with some strangers

  • and make my way into the city.

  • Let me know your sked, I'm pretty free.

  • I'm just gonna go to a party tonight,

  • and then 20 parties tomorrow night,

  • and then 400 parties the night after.

  • So hit me up.

  • Later, bro.

  • (phone beeps) (upbeat instrumental music)

  • - Let's talk about black people.

  • They're like white people but with seasoning.

  • In America, black people have had a long history

  • of getting the short end of the stick,

  • from slavery to Jim Crow to the criminal justice system

  • to the sunken place.

  • But when it came to the coronavirus, it seemed like,

  • for once, black people were catching a break.

  • - A lot of these viruses we're immune to

  • because our skin is radiant and our skin comes from the sun.

  • That is our superpower, melanin.

  • - Black people, we will not get the coronavirus,

  • because we got a little thing in our body

  • where we calling the melanin.

  • - Minorities can't catch it, we sure.

  • - They said that-- - Say that one more time.

  • - Minorities can't catch it.

  • - Minorities can't catch

  • coronavirus. - Coronavirus, nah.

  • - Who said that? - Why do you say that?

  • Why do you believe that? - Name one.

  • - I don't know,

  • but it could happen. (woman laughs)

  • - Name one, though. - It could happen.

  • - Name one of us. - If it--

  • - Yeah, when this whole pandemic was just kicking off,

  • many people, many people thought coronavirus

  • was something that just didn't involve black people.

  • Sort of like tennis elbow (air whooshes)

  • or "Tiger King". (air whooshes)

  • Very quickly, we've come to learn

  • that not only can black people get coronavirus,

  • it turns out that black people are being hit harder

  • than anyone else in America right now.

  • - With the rate of infection increasing in cities

  • across America there are alarming new statistics

  • showing the pandemic is taking an especially heavy toll

  • on minority communities.

  • - [Reporter] African Americans account for 41%

  • of COVID deaths in Michigan though only 14% of residents.

  • In Chicago, black residents represent 72% of deaths

  • but just 30% of the population.

  • - [Journalist] Louisiana's population is 32% black

  • which accounts for about 70% of coronavirus deaths.

  • - The disparity and deaths among African Americans,

  • they're startling.

  • The data is clear.

  • Coronavirus is disproportionately impacting

  • and killing people of color.

  • - That's right, as America has become the epicenter

  • of coronavirus worldwide,

  • black America has become the epicenter

  • of the virus' worst effects.

  • And this is become such a major problem

  • that even President Trump has taken notice.

  • - In the U.S., African Americans are dying

  • at a much higher rate from COVID-19 than other groups.

  • President Trump calls it a real problem

  • and a tremendous challenge.

  • - This is something that's come up,

  • and I don't mean by a little bit, I mean many times.

  • It's a real thing.

  • Now, why is it that the African American community

  • is so much, you know, numerous times more

  • than everybody else?

  • Why is it that three or four times more so

  • for the black community as opposed to other people?

  • It doesn't make sense, and I don't like it,

  • and we're gonna have statistics over the next

  • probably two to three days.

  • - It almost sounds like Trump is jealous

  • that black people get coronavirus more than anyone else.

  • Just because of the way he said it,

  • "How come black people are getting it and not me?

  • "What do they have that I don't have?

  • "Is it swag?

  • "Is that what it is, is it caused by swag?"

  • No, but look obviously I'm joking.

  • I'm totally joking, man.

  • If anything, it's refreshing.

  • It's honestly refreshing to see President Trump

  • so concerned about the black community.

  • But when he says it doesn't make sense

  • that coronavirus is hitting black Americans the hardest,

  • it's actually the opposite.

  • Because when you look at the systemic

  • and socio-economic factors facing black people in America

  • it makes complete sense.

  • You see, overall black people are less likely

  • to have health insurance.

  • Black people are more likely

  • to have pre-existing conditions like asthma and diabetes,

  • and those things make coronavirus more lethal.

  • Black people are also more likely to be in service jobs

  • where you can't work from home,

  • and you have to come into contact

  • with lots of people everyday.

  • And of course, there's always just straight up racism

  • that affects black people, as well.

  • For example, one study has found

  • that black people have been less likely

  • to be offered a coronavirus test

  • by their doctor even if they're exhibiting the same symptoms

  • as white patients.

  • Yeah, so while almost every industry around the world

  • is shut down, it looks like racism

  • is still considered an essential service.

  • And racism is even affecting whether or not black people

  • can protect themselves and cover their faces

  • when they go outside.

  • - [Reporter] Jody Armour is a law professor

  • at USC Law School.

  • He and other academics believe wearing masks

  • can pose a problem for people of color.

  • - The fear of being mistaken for a dangerous criminal

  • may be greater than the fear on contracting COVID-19.

  • Wearing protective masks while black is a concern

  • just like driving while black is.

  • - This officer right here behind us

  • he just followed us from outside,

  • told us that we cannot wear masks.

  • There's a presidential order, there is a state order,

  • and he's following us right out the store.

  • We're being asked to leave for being safe.

  • - Come on, man, this is some bullshit.

  • If black people don't wear a mask in public,

  • what's gonna happen?

  • People are gonna say they're endangering public health,

  • but then if black people do wear masks,

  • then they're treating like they're preparing

  • for a mission in "Red Dead Redemption", or something.

  • Like what do you expect black people to do, hm?

  • At this point, the only safe way for black people

  • to cover their faces in public is to try

  • and disguise themselves as a white person.

  • And I'm not talking about code switching.

  • I'm talking about actually putting on

  • a white person's face as your mask.

  • Some people will be suspicious but it'll work.

  • "Hey, you look white but there's something off.

  • "Say something only a white person would say."

  • "I wish Kamala Harris was back in this race."

  • "Checks out, I'll see you at hockey practice, buddy."

  • So look, the unfortunate truth is that the black community

  • is being slammed by coronavirus right now.

  • But in a way, it's not because there's anything special

  • about coronavirus,

  • it's because any widespread crisis in America

  • is bound to hit the most vulnerable

  • and disadvantaged groups the hardest.

  • And yes, I know this is depressing,

  • especially right now.

  • I mean, you don't wanna deal with coronavirus

  • and racism at the same time.

  • It's like two Marvel villains coming into one movie.

  • We don't have enough heroes.

  • What we do have is real-life black people

  • showing how resilient they are,

  • and one of the videos that gave me the most joy

  • is this viral video of a group of black people

  • throwing a social distancing block party

  • that, I won't lie, brought me a little bit of joy.

  • (lively instrumental music) ♪ Put your

  • Pinky rings up

  • To the moon

  • Girls, what y'all trying to do

  • ♪ 24-karat magic in the air

  • - Ah, yes.

  • I remember when the only thing in the air

  • we had to worry about was 24 karats of magic.

  • Those were the good ole days.

  • (upbeat instrumental music)

  • You know, whenever we talk about coronavirus

  • we always think about the lives that will be lost,

  • the economy, and people's jobs,

  • but the one thing we also can't ignore

  • is how it's gonna affect people's relationships.

  • So for today, I thought,

  • "You know what, let's change gears

  • "and focus on something a little different

  • "in our brand-new segment 'Love in the Time of Corona'."

  • (cheerful instrumental music)

  • Now, the coronavirus outbreak had been amazing

  • for Ying Ying and Le Le's relationship.

  • Yeah, because with no one around those two

  • panda bears' (air whooshes)

  • have started having more sex than Donald Trump

  • whenever Melania's out of town.

  • (air whooshes) I'm joking, of course.

  • He doesn't care if she's in town or not.

  • But it turns out, for us human panda bears

  • the coronavirus hasn't been as beneficial

  • for our love lives.

  • - [Reporter] Splitting up together.

  • Divorce rates spiked in China

  • in the wake of the coronavirus.

  • So, is the U.S. next?

  • - We are seeing a pressure cooker of disaster for couples.

  • - [Journalist] Business is booming right now

  • for Eleanor Alter, a prominent divorce lawyer

  • in the epicenter of the pandemic, New York City.

  • - I'm seeing an uptick in calls.

  • - [Anchor] People calling at all hours of the night

  • seeking legal advice.

  • - I'm getting a lot of calls about people who are

  • in close quarters with a person

  • that they were planning to divorce, perhaps this year

  • and it hasn't happened yet,

  • wondering if they can go forward with a divorce

  • during the pandemic.

  • - Yeah, coronavirus is the worst thing

  • to happen to marriages since the invention of the pool boy.

  • (air whooshes) Why you always

  • gotta be so sexy when you raking those leaves in the pool,

  • pool boy? (air whooshes)

  • And getting divorced is already a stressful experience,

  • but getting divorced when you can't leave,

  • sweet Lord, that must be the worst.

  • Just imagine, if you lived in like a New York City apartment

  • what do you do then?

  • "Okay, fine, you can have the bed,

  • "and I'm gonna sleep in the microwave."

  • So yeah, because of coronavirus divorce lawyers

  • are seeing more business

  • than the guy selling glow sticks at Coachella.

  • And if you're wondering why is this happening,

  • well it's because quarantine is showing a lot of couples

  • that they might love each other,

  • but they don't like each other.

  • - When it comes to the quarantine,

  • the biggest problem couples are having

  • is just the amount of pressure that the relationship

  • is putting on each other.

  • Think about it, normally you're around your partner

  • four, maybe five hours a day awake,

  • but now, that's tripled.

  • - When we don't have as much distraction going on,

  • we tend to hyperfocus on certain things that--

  • The little things that bother us.

  • - [Reporter] Part of the reason that could be,

  • one in three people surveyed say they do not shower

  • or bathe every day anymore.

  • Also, 15% of respondents say they do not get dressed

  • out of their pajamas.

  • - He wanders through the house and continues to talk to me

  • when I'm on the phone, can't be in your bathrobe,

  • and those are the little things I have to be aware of

  • because the camera really covers the whole space.

  • - Ah, man.

  • I really feel bad for this woman.

  • Think about it, her husband is walking around in a bathrobe

  • while she's trying to work over Skype.

  • That is so embarrassing 'cause that's her job.

  • Like imagine if you were in your boss' office

  • and then your spouse just walks in shirtless,

  • covered in Cheetos.

  • "Honey, do you have a towel?"

  • "Excuse me, my boss is here.

  • "Can't you see ?"

  • "Oh, I'm sorry.

  • "Mr. Boss, do you have a towel?

  • "The Cheetos, they get everywhere, look at this."

  • I see why people are getting tired of each other.

  • Like just because you've committed your life to someone

  • doesn't mean you want to be committed 24 seven.

  • In fact, after coronavirus ends,

  • I think marriage vows need to be updated.

  • Do you take this man to have and to hold

  • but for like an hour in the morning

  • and then maybe three hours at night when you watch TV?

  • Now, don't get it twisted.

  • Coronavirus isn't breaking up every couple.

  • There are many lovebirds out there

  • who are taking the initiative

  • and turning quarantine time into quality time.

  • - [Reporter] You may be stuck at home

  • but that doesn't mean date night is canceled.

  • - [Journalist] One couple used their free time

  • to recreate the iconic final dance scene

  • from the 1980s film "Dirty Dancing".

  • - [Anchor] The Jones family is used to being creative,

  • turning famous paintings into their own works of art,

  • quarantine style like "American Gothic"

  • and "Washington Crossing the Delaware".

  • - [Announcer] Grant recreated date nights around the house.

  • A casino, sports bar, bowling with paper towel pins

  • in their living room.

  • - [Woman] I think my favorite part of the date

  • was the dance club, which was our bathroom,

  • which when we went in there he had music blaring

  • and then he like turned the lights on and off.

  • - Okay, now that guy, that guy deserved

  • all the brownie points in the world.

  • He made a full night club in his bathroom for his woman.

  • Wow, that's love.

  • And this thing was super realistic.

  • He even charged her $18 for a vodka cranberry

  • and then stole her purse when she got drunk.

  • That is commitment.

  • (air whooshes) Before we go,

  • as always I would like to remind you

  • that as America reaches peak corona infections

  • the doctors, nurses, and first responders

  • in this country need our help.

  • So please, go to Thrive Global's First Responders First

  • and donate whatever you can to help them get the masks,

  • gloves, and gowns that they need to save lives.

  • And if you wanna help in New York City specifically,

  • please go to the New York Mayor's Fund COVID-19 Response

  • and donate there.

  • Stay safe out there, wash your hands.

  • Remember, you can freeze your toilet paper

  • to make it last longer,

  • and I'll see you again tomorrow.

  • (upbeat instrumental music)

- Let's kick it off with the big news.
