Shutdown 2: We Opened Up 2 Fast and People Are Furious (Well, at least they don’t have a lot of old people there)

July 2020

“As coronavirus cases rise in several states, it’s beginning to seem like our four months of sacrifice may have been for naught. Even the states that did it right are now backsliding, such as California, whose governor announced the statewide closure of indoor theaters, restaurants, bars and zoos on Monday. They’re shutting down again – Hollywood loves a sequel. This time it’s Shutdown 2: We Opened Up 2 Fast and People Are Furious.” —Stephen Colbert

“But as bad as things are in California, as it says in their tourist logo: it’s always worse in Florida, as the state broke the US record for coronavirus cases over the weekend and announced another 12,000 new cases on Monday. Well, at least they don’t have a lot of old people there. Or at least, thanks to their governor, they won’t in about three weeks.” —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.”
