John Oliver laid into right-wing media on Sunday for continuing to downplay the coronavirus pandemic
and Fox News hosts for continuing to downplay the coronavirus pandemic—and blaming them for the recent string of protests against stay-at-home orders and social distancing measures.
“Comparing the coronavirus to the flu is like comparing Jeffrey Dahmer to O.J. Simpson,” Oliver added. “I'm not saying O.J. is great—I'm just saying he wouldn't have even filled up Dahmer's vegetable drawer.” “This coronavirus, they’re just—all of this panic is just not warranted,” Limbaugh said on March 11. “This, I’m telling you, when I tell you—when I’ve told you that this virus is the common cold. When I said that, it was based on the number of cases. It’s also based on the kind of virus this is. Why do you think this is COVID-19? This is the 19th coronavirus. They’re not uncommon.”
“Anecdotally it’s been positive. Anecdotal? It just means it hasn’t been scientifically tested in mass numbers, but it means it’s working. Anecdotally, I arrived at work today,” Limbaugh said. “It means it happened.”
