Here's John Oliver's latest update on coronavirus

In order to get through this, people and corporations and agencies have to work together. There have to be helping hands given to those in danger or need and the rich have to give up a tiny bit and people have to be put before corporations in making policy. But that’s socialism. That’s why there’s so many idiots who have screwed up the government response. There are too many knuckle dragging brain dead rigid didactic unimaginative uncaring inhumane inhuman right-wing ideologues who yes would rather see millions die than admit that the holy market is, as Oliver said, about to become a death cult. Yes, there are lots of 1%rs who wouldn’t care if half of New York dies if that’s what it takes to protect their share value. And yes, there are lots of poor white trash who are willing to take a chance on Uncle Mildred and Cousin Cletus and Little Bettie June dying of disease as long as they know that brown skinned people are dying faster.
