it sounds like a Transformer who can’t smell or taste (I killed a man in line for this thing!)

“There is a new Covid variant called Omicron and it has a disturbingly high number of mutations, which make it potentially more dangerous than the others. Yes, it’s all the greatest hits in one place, like if ‘Mamma Mia’ killed you instead of teaching you about the power of love.” —Trevor Noah

“I mean, how did that happen after everything we did? I mean, for two years now, people, we wore masks for some of the time, we social distanced when it was convenient, then like half of us got vaccinated — what more is it gonna take?” —Trevor Noah

“And it could be that all of these mutations that sound so scary turn out to be not that big a deal, you know? Like when Apple acts like it is making tons of changes to the iPhone and we’re like, ‘I need a new iPhone! I need a new iPhone!’ and you get it and you’re like, ‘Wait — it’s just a slightly different camera? I killed a man in line for this thing!’” —Trevor Noah

“Omicron — it sounds like a Transformer who can’t smell or taste.” —Jimmy Fallon
