I'm Concerned Of Late Night Show Hosts Making Fun Of This Virus Crisis....

[global1]

we find ourselves in. What I'm afraid of is some people watching will not take the crisis seriously and think it a joke. Some will not take the precautions to protect themselves and in turn put others in danger.

Comedians need to think twice about making jokes of this situation.

1. People have a decent understanding of the situation

The comedians are a good relief. We get to laugh at Trump and our impending demise.

2. They seem to just be making fun of Trumps incompetence, not downplaying the seriousness (nt)

3. Honestly, there is not much anyone can do but take a few precautions that

aren’t likely to help a lot if it really is a pandemic here.

But, I’d agree if I really thought seriousness would help.

4. The jokes go side by side with the urgent warnings...

I don't know if you watch the late night comedians

They are the truth tellers

5. kinda' doubt that it'll have much impact

one way or another.
What is of a heck of a lot more import .. is if we can count on our people in positions of authority for accurate and coherent information. Late night hosts .. probably not so much.

6. Stephan Colbert's levity toward the virus allowed me to feel relaxed

about it for a few minutes. The news is dire right now in regard to the pandemic. I felt it helpful for him to tease about it as normal.

7. I'm concerned too!

What should we do?

I think we should shout.
