Somebody says where's Adam Schiff? He's been kind of quiet. Isn't it weird that all of the Russia collusion stuff and whatever's going to happen with Durham and who may or may not go to jail? I have a question about that. I'm wondering about, so we're all expecting that the coronavirus is sort of keeping the regular news from coming at us as quickly as it would and so we're not really watching as…
← Previous segment →Did you hear the hot mic moment? So there was an open mic when John Roberts of Fox News was waiting for the task force or somebody to come on and he was chatting with I guess the tech who was working the AV and they were chatting and somehow, I listened to the whole thing, and somehow people believe there's something in there that's like a new conspiracy theory because the tech guy said that they'd all been vaccinated because they were joking about coronavirus exposure and the guy said they'd all been vaccinated. To which I said, what vaccination? So it should be seen in the context of two people who knew each other who didn't think anybody was listening except whoever was in the room and they were just talking crap. So I don't know what the tech guy meant when he said we've all been vaccinated but it was probably a joke. And then John Roberts said something about the news is that it the thing might be less deadly than we thought. But of course here's the problem with, I feel like I'm going to say something this is obvious as when I said face masks obviously work even when every medical expert on TV was telling you they didn't and I was still saying no I'm pretty sure they work. This feels like another one of those situations. The news that we're hearing is that if it's true that the coronavirus is far more widespread than we think then that would also mean it's a relatively weak virus meaning it doesn't kill many people as a percentage and it might not kill any more people than the regular flu at least during the lockdown it doesn't. But if you have one that's the same deadliness as the regular flu but it's far more viral, correct me if I'm wrong, super viral, what only kills the same percentage of people as a regular flu is still super bad compared to the regular flu. Can anybody fact check me on that? Is that not screamingly obvious that there's no good news from the fact that lots of people have it without symptoms? There's no good news in there right? Am I wrong? Because everybody's acting like that's good news and I don't see any good news. I see something that's exactly as deadly as it is because it's filling up ER rooms and ICUs and we're also looking at a situation with full mitigation. So I think everybody on television who says hey lots of people have it with no symptoms therefore it's not that dangerous, I think they're just wrong. It's exactly as dangerous as we thought. Look at the comments. You'll see some people saying you're wrong and you'll see people saying you're not wrong. And somebody says it's just math, right? I think it is. I think it's just math that it's just as bad no matter what we find about how many people have it without symptoms I think.
