Is he the coronavirus groundhog? (No one told me there were dragons in it!)


“And I know you, the American people, get it, but some of our elected officials are slow on the uptake. Republican governors in 11 states have still refused to issue stay-at-home orders. They’re defiant to the end, though some are coming around, such as Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis, who finally ordered people home on Thursday, citing the president’s ‘demeanor the last couple days.’ So it wasn’t the data, or the scientists – it was Trump’s demeanor? How does that work? Is he the coronavirus groundhog?” —Stephen Colbert


“Meanwhile, Georgia’s governor, Brian Kemp, started taking things seriously because ‘we didn’t know until yesterday’ that asymptomatic people can spread the virus (it’s been widely known for months). You didn’t know that until yesterday? It’s all anyone’s been talking about since January! You’re like a guy saying: ‘You know, I finally started watching this Game of Thrones. No one told me there were dragons in it! This is a game-changer.’” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
