Oliver is a crafty liar. Notice how the liars are poi nting to hcq without the zinc, constructing strawman that others are touting hcq as a cure, when no honest person makes that assertion sinve hcq only acts to reduce inflammation and ferries zinc into infected cells where the zinc attacks the virus. Oliver; liars gonna lie, some more deviously than others.

When in a Pandemic a man spreads disinformation it can kill.

This guy is evil.

If people are listening to other sources for information it is because they have lost all trust in the news media and in scientist.

The story about the boy that cried wolf comes to mind.

Scientist and the news media in general have been pushing a biased narrative for at least the last 70 years. Everything is a crisis that requires the government to gain more control over our lives and more money out of our pockets.

At this point in time I am a agnostic when it comes to the coronoavirus.

This is the dweeb that went after OAN a couple weeks ago, a man who makes 2 million a year was criticizing Graham Ledger, who makes 150K a year.

I disagree with both of you. Seek and Find provides a service. I would not have seen this had it not been for him posting it.

It’s always good to know what the enemedia is doing. JO is a member of the enemedia and he can still go entertain himself.

But I have family members that watch him. So it’s good to have rebuttals at the ready. Tough to do if you aren’t allowed to post it.

Everything is “misinformation” if it doesn’t help the liberal agenda.

Give the guy a break. He is not 100% wrong. Maybe 99% but not 100%.

The 1% that he got right: The Coronavirus is much more deadly than the flue.

My best example is New York City where about 1 of every 1000 residents have died from complications brought on by the Coronavirus. About 10,000 deaths and something around 9,000,000 residents.

This is not the flu. It happened in a little over a month and with only a fraction of the population infected.

“Specifically, 40% of Americans think this but in fact, it is not true. Coronavirus is many times deadlier.”

11 people on the fire department that I retired from tested positive 3 weeks ago. Only one developed any symptoms. They all have “recovered” and now test negative. The one guy who had symptoms still has them because they were from.his seasonal allergies. If they were not firefighters none of them would have been tested.

According to a recent study from Stanford this thing was 50 to 80 times more prevalent in the county they looked at than the official numbers indicated. That means that it is also 50 to 80 times less lethal. This means, John Oliver that it’s lethality is probably more similar to the common cold than the flu. Both of those ailments kill thousands of vulnerable people in this country every year.

NOBODY holds the patent on misinformation about the COVID-19 Wuhan virus. What the Left has is deliberate DISINFORMATION on what the virus is, and the means by which it is to be combated. More money and more money, for every pet project that leads to the Green New Deal, forever lockdown until people, prisoners in their own homes, go on a raging rampage, and bringing to a virtual standstill all forms on economic activity not specifically permitted by government orders and edicts, are all part of THEIR plan.

Even Bernie Sanders is getting out of the way of THIS brand of command-and-control economic and social practice. Socialism has nothing at all to do with this kind of collective madness.

Fox News underestimated the danger of the coronavirus early on but as the death toll mounted, …

What does he have to say about the really spot on estimates of the “models” which are ultimately responsible for shutting down the economy, for creating the fastest increase in the rate of unemployment, for killing the greatest bull market in history? Oh yes, it was all Trump’s fault. Nothing about Pelousy The Ripper, Cuomo The Godfather, and deBlabbermouth The Blabbermouth!

"This includes claims that microwaving mail can kill the virus and that breast milk and garlic can help prevent it."

I watch Fox every night and have never heard anyone make those claims.

As to the truth-value of those claims, garlic is said to have some anti-viral properties and some benefit to lowering cholesterol, and MIGHT - like some vitamins - increase resistance to infection. It certainly won't harm you.

As for microwaving your mail, I don't know if that kills germs or not (high heat, in general, does), but the idea doesn't sound crazy, and I can see no harm coming from it.

I think your BS detector is working fine. You don't need to trade it in for a new model.

Thank you. I had to turn it off. Even after I unplugged it the damn thing was still registering.

John Oliver - a typical liberal late-night host, except he gets more agitated and can use the F-word.

"Fox News underestimated the danger of the coronavirus early on . . . "

Most people did, including the WHO, the CDC, Fauci, De Blasio, the NYT, Pelosi, Cuomo, Vox, CNN, and on and on. But it's actually not entirely true of Fox. Tucker Carlson - in particular - along with Gutfeld and Watters, were wary of the CV from the start (I've seen the clips) - way back in January, weeks before Pelosi was still urging people to come to Chinatown and have dinner.
