Dr. Anthony Fauci, America’s top infectious disease expert, testified at a virtual Senate hearing on Tuesday, saying that if the country reopens too soon, Americans risk a resurgence of the coronavirus as well as needless suffering and death.Dr. Anthony Fauci, America’s top infectious disease expert, testified at a virtual Senate hearing on Tuesday, saying that if the country reopens too soon, Americans risk a resurgence of the coronavirus as well as needless suffering and death.
“And look, Fauci has said this to Trump a million times,” Trevor Noah said on Tuesday night’s “The Daily Social Distancing Show.” “But I bet this time, Trump is way more likely to listen because now he’s watching it on TV”“And look, Fauci has said this to Trump a million times,” Trevor Noah said on Tuesday night’s “The Daily Social Distancing Show.” “But I bet this time, Trump is way more likely to listen because now he’s watching it on TV”
“Because of Trump’s antics, he keeps having to come up with new ways to say, please stay inside, or you might die. Basically, what Dr. Fauci is saying is that we need to think of corona like a sports injury. Yes, you want to get back on the field as soon as possible, but if you get back on the field too soon, you could get injured. You could get injured again, and even worse this time, and then what? Then your career is over, huh? And now you’re just a gym teacher telling fifth-graders about how you could have gone pro.” — TREVOR NOAH
“No need to sugarcoat it, doc. Although, sugarcoating is a good way to get Trump’s attention. It’s what Eric does. It gets pretty sticky.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Fauci told The New York Times yesterday that re-reopening the country too soon could lead to ‘needless suffering and death,’ which I think is Trump’s new campaign slogan.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Thanks to President Trump there is a divide among party lines about whether or not we should be staying at home, which is silly because viruses don’t care who you vote for. So I’m going to try to summarize what Dr. Fauci said today with a metaphor. Think of this lockdown as a scab — a big, black scab on our nation’s face. It’s not pretty. In fact, it’s ugly, it’s awful, but it’s doing an important job. It’s healing and containing the wound. The best thing you can do with a scab is be patient and let it fall off. Unfortunately, there are some impatient people who want to dig their tiny, orange fingernails into the scab and rip it off early and eat it. And while that would feel good for like a second if you rip off the scab and the wound is still bleeding under there — you have to start all over again with a new scab. So what Dr. Fauci is saying is the same thing your mother said: ‘Don’t pick the scab.’” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Even though the President says everything is great, he is also desperate to blame the fact that it isn’t on anyone but him. His new thing is ‘Obamagate.’ He doesn’t know what it is, but he’s going with it.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“I think he learned from Watergate things he doesn’t like should have the word ‘gate’ after it. Obamagate, saladgate, Ericgate.” — TREVOR NOAH
“According to Trump, Obama committed the worst political crime in American history, but Trump won’t tell us what the crime is, because it’s so obvious that you don’t even need to ask, even though everyone needs to ask. Trump is treating Obama less like a criminal and more like they’re in a relationship and Trump feels like Obama messed up. [imitating Trump] ‘If you don’t know what you did wrong, well I’m not gonna tell you.’ [as Obama] ‘Donald, please. Whatever I did, I’m sorry.’ [as Trump] ‘My friends were right about you — never date a Leo.’” — TREVOR NOAH
