“Despite rising case numbers in numerous states – Florida, Arizona and Texas each reported their highest single-day case totals to date – the Trump administration has decided to just move on from the coronavirus pandemic. Donald Trump has blamed the uptick in case numbers on an increase in testing. I can’t believe I have to explain this. If we stopped testing, that wouldn’t mean the cases went away. That would just mean we don’t know about them. When you play peekaboo with a baby, the baby can’t see you but that doesn’t mean you actually disappeared.” —Seth Meyers
“Now this is a sentiment Trump has repeated several times – if only we could stop testing, we’d look so much better – which is just insane. It’s like if you went to your optometrist, and they said, ‘I could give you an eye exam, but then you’d need glasses to drive.’ That doesn’t mean you don’t need glasses, it just means you’ll probably get in more car accidents.” —Seth Meyers
“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.”
