  • The coronavirus.

  • The disease is now officially in 85 countries,

  • and it has over 95,000 confirmed cases.

  • And it's the reason even white people

  • have switched to the fist bump.

  • "And explode."

  • Now, here in New York, because the city is so crowded,

  • the risk of coronavirus is especially dangerous.

  • Because, you see, if corona can make it here,

  • it can make it anywhere.

  • (laughter)

  • And that's why city officials are taking action.

  • NEWSWOMAN: The MTA stepping up its cleaning efforts

  • to prevent the spread of the coronavirus on public transit.

  • Workers are disinfecting 427 subway stations,

  • wiping down the turnstiles,

  • handrails and ticket vending machines daily.

  • In addition to that daily cleaning,

  • the MTA says its full fleet of subways, trains and buses

  • will be sanitized every 72 hours.

  • That's right. New York is trying to keep the subway clean

  • to protect riders from spreading coronavirus.

  • Which is a noble instinct, but good luck

  • trying to keep the New York City subway system clean. Yeah.

  • You can actually hear that paper towel screaming.

  • (screams)

  • (laughter and applause)

  • And by the way, maybe I'm just noticing it now,

  • but, like, was I the only one who was like,

  • "Wait, now they're cleaning the subway?"

  • (cheering and applause)

  • Like...

  • What were they doing before?

  • "Oh, well, now we'll clean it every 72..."

  • What were you doing before?

  • Although that video is a little bit funny

  • because it actually looks like we're cleaning up

  • so we can impress the coronavirus when it arrives.

  • Yeah. So the corona's gonna come on the subway like,

  • "Wow, is this for me?"

  • But for real, though, everyone on the subway

  • is taking the threat seriously.

  • If you ride the trains, you know what I'm talking about.

  • People are avoiding handrails.

  • The rats are wearing little hazmat suits.

  • Yeah. Even the subway masturbators

  • have switched from lotion to Purell. Yeah.

  • It burns, but it's responsible.

  • And remember, you have to do it long enough

  • to sing "Happy Birthday" twice.

  • All right, let's move on, because while humans are worried

  • about getting wiped off the planet,

  • there's another species that might be coming back.

  • Scientists say that they've discovered dinosaur DNA

  • along with other biological material

  • in a fossilized skull in Montana.

  • The skull belonged to a Hypacrosaurus,

  • which was a plant-eating duckbill dinosaur

  • which has been extinct for around 66 million years.

  • Now, DNA is only expected to survive a million years,

  • so if the discovery is confirmed,

  • it would change our understanding of biology.

  • Okay, it may change your understanding of biology.

  • I already didn't know any of that shit.

  • (laughter)

  • What I do understand is for the first time ever,

  • they found actual dinosaur DNA.

  • And, guys, if-if we have dinosaur DNA,

  • we have to make Jurassic Park.

  • I mean...

  • Yeah, no, look, I-I know.

  • I know we've seen the movies.

  • I know how it's gonna end.

  • But those first two days are gonna be dope.

  • (laughter)

  • It's gonna be so much fun.

  • (cheering and applause)

  • Like, if my options are dying from coronavirus

  • or a velociraptor, I know what I'm choosing.

  • Yeah, gas up that bubble thing.

  • Let's do this, baby.

  • You know, I actually... I actually feel bad for dinosaurs

  • if we bring them back, you know?

  • 'Cause everyone assumes that if they'll return,

  • they'll kill us and take over the world,

  • but shit has changed, my friends.

  • Yeah. The fast-food industry does not mess around.

  • Yeah, once Popeyes sees

  • a big, meaty animal walking around?

  • Yeah, it's two weeks until we're all like...

  • Love that T. rex from Popeyes. ♪

  • (laughter and applause)

  • And imagine...

  • Can you imagine what it would be like for a dinosaur?

  • 'Cause we're always like, "Dinosaurs could come back."

  • But we're expecting them. For them, if they come back

  • in modern times, there's gonna be one dinosaur,

  • the first one looking around like,

  • "Everything is so different.

  • "There's cities, there's cars,

  • "and I don't underst... Oh, Bernie!

  • "Hey, Bernie!

  • Good to see you again."

  • "Hello, Carl. Hello, Carl.

  • We need to talk. I need your help."

  • "Did you pass Medicare for All?"

  • "It's getting close. We're getting there."

  • (laughs)

  • And finally, some news from the tech world.

  • If you're worried about being canceled

  • because of your old tweets, well, help is on the way.

  • NEWSWOMAN: Twitter is starting to test

  • tweets that disappear after 24 hours.

  • The company is calling the new format Fleets

  • because of their short-lived nature.

  • The feature is similar to Instagram stories

  • and snaps on Snapchat.

  • Fleets won't be available to be retweeted

  • and won't have likes, but people can respond to them.

  • That's right. Soon, you'll be able to post tweets

  • that get deleted automatically after 24 hours,

  • which means the Oscars can have a host again.

  • Yay!

  • And I think...

  • I think more apps should incorporate this feature.

  • You know? Like, they should say if you send a text message

  • to someone you like but they don't reply,

  • that message should also disappear automatically

  • because I'm not a loser.

  • (cheering and applause)

  • Just gonna leave me on read?

  • And as much as I like this idea, I think there are a few ways

  • that Twitter can improve it even more.

  • Like, they should say if you send a tweet after midnight,

  • it automatically deletes itself after two minutes. Yeah.

  • No one says anything good at that time.

  • They should also have another feature that,

  • if the president sends a tweet,

  • they should delete before he hits send.

  • -Yeah. -(cheering and applause)

  • Just have it disappear.

  • He'll just be sitting there, like, "All these Mexica...

  • "All these Mexica...

  • I'm hungry."

The coronavirus.
