DAYTONA BEACH -- Longtime radio talk-show host Marc Bernier has been hospitalized with COVID-19, according to a top official at WNDB (1150 AM, 93.5 FM).

"I don't have an update on him at this point, other than he has been hospitalized," said Mark McKinney, the station's operations director.

Longtime Volusia County radio talk show host Marc Bernier has been hospitalized with COVID-19, according to officials at WNDB (1150 AM, 93.5 FM).
It wasn't immediately clear on Monday which hospital Bernier had been admitted to, or his condition.

Bernier, one of Volusia County's signature voices on politics and local news for three decades, was off the air and at home sick all last week, McKinney said.

According to McKinney, Bernier went to the doctor on Friday and received his diagnosis. The talk-show host was hospitalized on Saturday, McKinney said.

1. It would appear that the DeSanto-Abbott variant nailed his ass.

Karma has been busy lately.

[LisaL]

4. The chances of getting infected in Florida are very high.

They are going to get to herd immunity (if such a thing is possible with covid) the hard way.

[Ocelot II]

6. They might not have much of a herd left at the rate they're going.

Is it especially evil of me to wish it on DeSatan?

[LisaL]

10. DeSantis is vaxxed.

So chances of him dying are pretty low, but his chances of a breakthrough infection are pretty good with delta (and him not masking).

[Ocelot II]

13. Even that would be fairly satisfying. And I hear that some 'mild' breakthrough cases

are actually pretty miserable. I don't want any of these assholes to die of it but I want them to get sick enough to get a clue or two.

[LisaL]

16. Yep, what is called mild covid could be extremely unpleasant.

It's called mild because the sufferer doesn't end up in a hospital or ICU as far as I can tell.

[dewsgirl]

25. And can also lead to long Covid.

[Phoenix61]

30. DeSatan isn't stupid, he's evil.

The only thing he cares about is gaining as much power as possible.

[MyMission]

41. Don't forget he has young children who aren't

They could get infected from him, or just from going to school or breathing Florida air.
Not that he cares.

[viva la]

27. The majority of the elderly there are vaxxed

So this is hitting the younger people. Florida could end up with an even higher proportion of older people, and not enough young workers to keep things running.

[roamer65]

2. I'm rooting for the virus in this case.

[Ocelot II]

3. No. I hope he feels absolutely wretched and survives, just barely,

and then gets his sorry self back on the radio and tells people covid isn't a hoax and they'd damn better get off their soft white asses and get vaccinated.

[roamer65]

9. We need population reduction.

He is a good candidate.

I don’t want him draining needed health care resources from other more deserving people.

[sdfernando]

24. You can't be sure that will happen at all....

he could survive, just barely, then go right back to spouting disinformation about COVID again...That's exactly what TFG did so I wouldn't put it past this vaxhole.

[viva la]

28. You're right-- that's what TFG did

Strut around acting like "I beat Covid and I'm so tough. You should be like me."

Of course, none of his followers will have access to the cutting edge medicine he got. But he'll just say they're losers.

[BradAllison]

39. Nah

He'll insist that he beat it and FREEEEDUMB is more important.

[OriginalGeek]

49. I know republican anti-maskers/anti-vaxxers

who have close friends and relatives in ICU right now and have already had cousins die from Covid that still think masking and vaxxing are the devil.

Near death experiences will not change them. Death experiences will at least diminish the number of repub votes.

[Phoenix61]

31. Pulling with you roamer65! nt

[XanaDUer2]

5. Asshole nt

[RussBLib]

7. Another one bites the dust

Geez, does every market have a right-winger radio jock?

[dalton99a]

8. Now he can stop spouting RW garbage

[Walleye]

11. Dog bites man story, not even news anymore, hardly

[Raftergirl]

12. Rona might just wipe out

all of right wing radio. 😃

[lagomorph777]

15. It is pretty encouraging to see this - much more effective than knocking out the proles.

[lagomorph777]

14. Good news! Looks like RW radio hosts are going off the air all over the place.

There's always a silver lining.

[viva la]

29. I wonder if there's a FB group for rightwing shock jocks--

And they've gone from trading cool anti-vax soundbytes to posting sad RIP gifs with baskets of white flowers and the latest dead guy's birth-death dates.

[Phoenix61]

32. I was thinking the same thing. nt

[getagrip_already]

45. there are plenty to replace him - sadly......

And the new crop will be even more vial and seditious once they get a taste of the payday fueled by attention getting crap.

[House of Roberts]

17. He's reapn' that whirlwind thingy, I reckon.

[DenaliDemocrat]

18. Ruh-roh!

Karma is a real thing

[luckone]

19. Hmmm Lots of RW preachers and RW radio hosts tumbling down with the rona

I got this one on my Come claim them list

22. Probably a huge number of his congregants has his church

in their wills.

[littlemissmartypants]

47. Exactly and the Life policies are signed over directly to Jesus.

Of course, he's serving as the proxy.

Cha Ching!

[appleannie1]

36. Jesus would tell him to use the brain His father gave him.

[IcyPeas]

48. so, if they come down with Covid they should go to church and not a hospital.

[Comfortably_Numb]

20. Your Tuesday feel good thought: Rush Limbaugh is still dead. Have a good day!

[Midnight Writer]

21. Most dealers have the sense not to use their own product. It ain't healthy.

[luv2fly]

23. Let them all croak

Typically I don't like wishing ill on any specific person, but... as a group, seems I have no problem with it.

[lark]

26. Karma doing it's thing. n/t

[Orrex]

33. Good. Fuck him.

[Sancho]

34. Seems like hosting RW media in Florida is pretty dangerous...

...so far as I know, the local media libs are pretty healthy.

[appleannie1]

35. Hope he has one of the ICU beds that are now in the hall since ICU can't squeeze more in.

[NHvet]

37. Good for him...

Glad he met Karma, hopefully she brought her brother Grim Reaper along to meet him too.

[vanlassie]

38. Is there a list of these people somewhere?

[BlueJac]

40. Oops, so sad.

Not you got what you deserve fool

[TlalocW]

42. I hate to kick a man when he's down

But if there were a way to let him know that the world would be better off without him, I would. My compassion is running out.

TlalocW

[2naSalit]

43. That's one way...

To silence these murderers by mouth.

[NurseJackie]

44. I really shouldn't laugh... but...

[JoanofArgh]

46. In NC, if there's any chance at all it may be COVID, we have to do telehealth.

We're not allowed to go sit around in a doctor's waiting room and pollute it with virus . I read DeSantis refused to renew the telehealth EO he put out at the beginning of the pandemic so everybody has to go to the doctor in person now. What a virulent cesspool Florida is right now.

[southerncrone]

50. Deny the Covid, get the ventilator.
