“Several news outlets have discouraged people from trying to purposely get infected with Omicron to ‘get it over with.’ I wonder if I should deliberately try to catch Covid. I mean, all the other late-night hosts are doing it. James Corden, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, have all contracted Covid over the last two weeks. I’m starting to think they had a secret sleepover, and I wasn’t invited.” —Stephen Colbert
“Yes, getting Omicron is super-popular. I hear it’s dating Pete Davidson.” —Stephen Colbert
“And now, I don’t know what’s going on because the United States reported 1.5 million new infections yesterday. That is terrible, but kind of sweet that we all gave each other the same thing for Christmas.” —Stephen Colbert
“Soon, there’s going to be almost as many people in hospitals as there are TV shows about hospitals.” —Stephen Colbert
“The US also saw a record-breaking 145,000 Covid hospitalizations, with experts predicting a peak in the 300,000 range, though the CDC has offered a clarification on that statistic. Its director, Rochelle Walensky, estimated that 40% of the patients hospitalized with Covid are not presenting because of Covid symptoms, but coming in for something else and then having the virus detected. OK sure, but even if people aren’t coming in for Covid initially, the hospitals are still overflowing. That’s like saying ‘uh, technically, up to 40% of the people who drowned on the Titanic were already wet because they were in the bathtub when the ship went down, so not so bad.’” —Stephen Colbert
