Joes, and best believe people will be angry that joe is but really deep down inside they are happy because people love having a reason to not workout. I mean not me, yesterday i was planning to work out but then i had to cancel because i think i have got a cramp in my ear lobe, i just dont want to risk it, but to put it in perspective n some states the coronavirus positive iterate is around 50 right now. So if you live in south dakota or iowa, look at the person to your left, now the person to the your right, why are you sitting between two people, you are going to get coronavirus. So yes, coronavirus is getting worse and worse as the winter months arrive. And with things spiraling out of control just in time for the holidays, the cdc has issued new geud lines for how families can have a safe thanksgiving. To which some families are saying mind your own goddam business. Experts saying half of all americans plan to travel for the holidays, going against those new cdc guide lines which recommend celebrating thanksgiving virtually or only with people in your own household and preferably outside, for indoor dinners the cdc says keep the windows open, spread out as much as possible and wear masks. What about christmas, what are we going to do for christmas. We lost the summer, now we will lose thanksgiving. You and i are booth italian, tell italians not to get together on the holidays is pretty tough. Trevor honestly i know it seems irresponsible but i think it is great for people to gather during a pandemic to celebrate thanksgiving because isnt that what thanks giving is all about, spreading a disease that wipes out a continent . Im actually surprised republican still want thanks giving this year. After joe biden won, can you imagine what thanksgiving is going to be like. Them millenial neetions and nephews will be showing up luke they own the place, Walking Around liic damn, these mashed potatoes are disappearing faster than your Second Amendment rights, uncle steve. Ha ha. Now while things are particular leigh bad in the u. S. I do think its important to remember that this is a global pandemic. From the democrat, not from the rep it is global. Right now europe is also seeing a giant spike although over there it is not circumcised. The whole world is going through this, people, but there is one place where they do seem to have managed the virus better and that place might surprise you because youre racist. When covid just started to sweep the globe, experts predicted african africa would be def stitted with millions of lives lost but six ponts later the continent seems to be doing much better than anticipated. The World Health Organization says africa is leading the world in its overall response to the covid19 pandemic. The. The United States is a country of about 326 Million People, right. We have 228,000 people dead. The entire continent of africa, they have only had 41,000 deaths. Experts are going to explain this, they are baffled as well, why the number of cases cumulatively have remained so low compared to the rest of the world. Yes, many people never expected that africa of all places would be able to handle covid19. Could you see them now, they are all like how is africa so successful at this . I mean i could understand if this was a marathon or carrying stuff on your head contest but this is a deadly disease, how are they doing it. First off, that attitude is offensive. And secondly hell yeah we would win a carrying stuff on your head contest, i always said it is racist why it is not an olympic sport, some can shake a ribon and win a medal, how come we cant balance buckets an get gold. With how well africa is doing maybe they should be sending their 22 year olds to america so they can also help out and also get some of those great pictures for their understand gram. So why has africa been more successful at controlling a deadly disease. One reason might be that they have had a lot of practice. Pecks ert experts say some african nations experience with previous viral outbreaks like the ebola and marburg viruses means it was already prepared to deal with covid19. We have systems in for those disease have been actually reuse and readapted for covid. They already have commute workers, Health Workers who are experiencing with dealing with pandemics in south africa they went out to the communities, door to door getting people to get tested for coronavirus so they actually went out, hunting for the virus. In liberias capitol monrovia residents are taking matters into their own hands by setting up neighborhood checkpoints to scroon the temperatures of those who enter, a strategy used during the ebola outbreak. You know how people tap elbows to greet now, that was already used in westafer ka during the 2014 to 2016 ebola outbreak. They called it the elbowla then. Yeah, unfortunately many africans have been more prepared for corona because they were forced to deal with ebola. And if you have i corona is bad, ebola doesnt stay around, it is like if corona went to the gym, actually corona does go to the gym t is there, dont go to the gym. See here is how it works, using bad experiences to prepare for worst situations comes naturally to africans, do i it too, it is in my dna. Like i prepare for a possible famine by eating at the cheese cake fact real estate. That may my stomach is like huh, maybe starving wouldnt be so bad. So because africans know first hand what a disease can do to people, they didnt take any chances with covid19. Most countries had mandatory mask requirements. And the country even imposed a nationwide lockdown before they had a single case. Imagine that. Imagine that. Before they had a case. Which reminded me of how my mom would sometimes beat my ass before i did something wrong. But mom, i havent done anything. This is for something you were thinking of doing. It is true, i was going to do it. So african nations were able to build on their experience fighting other outbreaks. That is not the only thing that is working in their favor. It actually seems like the African People themselves have a lot of builtin advantages. One reason experts gufer for the low death rate is the continents young population. About 50 of the People Living in africa are in their teens. In addition about 40 of those young people we estimate had asymptomatic infection and that might be because they had been exposed to other coronavirus that cause the common cold earlier on. A key they believe that lower burdenen of so called diseases of lifestyle like obesity or hypertension. Both they believe could lessen the selfer rit of the disease. There is another more unusual hypothesis. Sm scientists believe parasitic worms could be protecting some africans from the full effects of covid19. Trevor okay, wow, that is pretty weird. One theory says that africans have parasitic worms which protect them from coronavirus . Like all africans . I guess i should thank you, mr. Wriggles. You were looking out for me. Youre welcome, trevor. How about we get some pizza for dinner tonight. Trevor you bet, buddy. He is slowly killing me. But yeah, one of the more intrusive reasons for africas success is that as a continent the people are younger and in better shape than in other places. Which helps in surviving corona. Plus africans get that secret vaccine they developed in wakanda. So africa as a whole is doing better than mores of the world when it comes to managing covid19. But dont forget, luck and circumstances aside, most of africas success has come down to leadership. Many african countries have leaders who have taken this disease seriously from the start and because of that, the people have also taken it seriously. And heres how you know leadership makes a big difference, because some countries have leaders who are like trump. And just like trump those african countries are not doing well. While many countries are being praised for their approach to controlling the spread of covid19 tanzania is an exception. The president John Magufuli has been in recent weeks downplaying the risk of covid19 telling people not to wear masks, there has been very little social distancing. Tanzanias president has said the country has been healed of coronavirus through pray are, it is an almighty claim and difficult to challenge because his government hasnt releasessed any data for weeks. He has been sceptical of the virus and hasek owed conspiracy theories. On Live Television he told the nation that the countrys National Laboratory had inflated coronavirus numbers. He even sent samples of food to be tested for the virus as a way to expose false positives. Trevor wow. I mean say what you want about trump but at least hes not clogging up the laboratories with fruit samples. Mostly because he doesnt know what a treut is. But still also can you imagine if tested positive for coronavirus. I mean he would be calling up all the other fruits that were next to him in the fruit salad, hi, blue berries, it is me mango, yeah, i just tested positive for covid so you may want to isolate. And by the way, can you tell melon for me, things have been weird for us ever since i told him that he is just in the salad to fill it up. Which is totally true but whatever. Okay, bye. So look, africa has been much less of a nightmare as it has been on other con tructs. But please understand im in the saying this to brag or anything, like africans are better. Im saying it because this is good news for the rest of the world it shows if you take precautions and you use common sense, you can limit the spread and the harm of coronavirus. So please this is the one time it is okay to take something africans came up with and claim it as your own.

Trevor welcome back to the daily social distancing show. Lets talk about the United States senate. Like a retirement home that can take away your health care it with the election day results coming in, the senate is now divided almost exactly in half between democrats and republicans. There were actually two Senate Elections in georgia that werent decided last week. And those are the ones that will determine which party wins this tug of war. Turning to georgia where the balance of power in the senate will be decided in just a couple of pnts from now. The peach state will hold a pair of runoff elections in january after neither race landed a win we are at least 50 of the vote. The two Senate Runoffs scheduled for january 5s will now determine the fate of the senate and how much legislation mr. Biden is able to get past nextier. Both parties will be pouring tens of millions of dollars into the contest. Every republican of naft profile will head to georgia as well as prominent democrat, the scuttlebutt is rather biden stay away and obama go. Trevor damn, democrats want o bma to come down instead of joe biden. Man, once you go barack you fever go back. Poor joe biden. I mean he is president elect but democrats are all still like obama. Everybody, lets get a Democratic Senate for joe. Who the hell is joe, obama. But yes, both parties are descending on georgia for these two senate races and if you live in georgia, can i just say im so sorry for what is about to happen in your life. You thought the text and tveds were bad before . That shut is getting run 50 timeses a minute, volunteers will be popping up in your dreams, hi, sorry to interrupt your weird unicorn sex dream, can we count on you on january 5th. There will be so many ads now is the perfect time to cut the cord and cancel your cable. Wait, not right now, not right now, after the show, after the show. Whooo, thats better, that was close, dont do that again. One reason both parties think at the both have a shot in the Georgia Senate run is the president ial race there was surprisingly tight. Joe biden did come out slightly ahead but its too close for comfort. The white house remains focused on the election tonight winning a hand recount in georgia as it pushes other legal challenges that will likely have little bearing on the results. The election is over but the counting is not tonight with every ballot if battleground georgia set to be recounted by hand. Typically recounts only change a races margin by a few hundred votes or so so if very unlikely President Trump could overtake president elect biden 14,000 vote lead in georgia. But the Trump Campaign today calls the recount a first step toward winning their legal fight despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Thats right. Trump is getting a hand recount of every georgia ballot. There are millions of them, hand recount. And i dont think thats going to be fun for him, because its bad enough losing georgia by 14,000 votes but now imagine having to see this one by one. St also strange how election recounts are the one time when people think counting by hand is better than by machine. There is never any other situation where we say okay, thats what the calculator says but just to double check, five, six, 11, 13, 25, carry the one all right, yeah, i think the spaceship has enough fuel, you can take off. I would be like counting each ballot by hand is going to take forever. Not just because of numbers but because it is georgia. Have you ever been to georgia . Those people are not in a rush. One vote, two votes. Three votes. You going to bring me some of that peach tea. What they need to do is go and hire those trap rappers to dot counting, 1, 600,000, whoop, and again and million, as you heard t is unlikely that trump will actually fine enough miscounted ballots to flip the results in georgia. But even if he does, he still wont have enough electoral votes to change the overall result. And while biden would really like to get up to speed for his whole new big job that he has coming up, trump refuses to lift a finning tore help him. Developing overnight state Department Officials tell cnn that the Trump Administration is preventing president elect bied fren accessing mess angs from foreign leaders. They are calling the state department, theyre not giving the president elect these messages. Traditionally the state Department Operation center sets up phone calls for the president elect with World Leaders. They troy translation, that is not happening right now. So just to be really clear about what is happening, it means World Leaders who believe that they should be reaching out to the state department to get in touch with the president elect are doing so but those messages are not being responded to. They are not being received by president elect joe biden, essentially he has a mail box full of messages at the state department that he cannot access. Trevor this is a big problem. Because by the time he gets around to listening to those messages, they will be months old. He can going to be like World Leaders needing crucial information that nobody heard. Hello, this is a putin. Will you do what i demand or were launching missiles in three days. It is putin again, missiles now two days away. Yo, why are you ghosting me, is it something i said. Trevor you know at this rate joe bierd len spend his first month just sifting through all this mail. It will be a waste of time because you know how much of mail is just junk mail, ello l. L. Bean catalog, blue apron catalog, another catalog, here is a letter from angela merkel, oh, dear joe, use my friend coupon to subscribe to blue apron, dammity, another one, she is tricky. The real question is why . Why wont trump just acknowledge that he lost. Why is he out there every day tweeting bogus videos and tweeting conspiracy elections about election fraud, why, because of his fragile ego, huh . Because he wants to take the country down with him . Could be those things. But it could also be benjamin. He is refusing to concede vowing to forge ahead way local fight to contest the election. The Campaign Launched an official election defense fund. They are calling it the official election defense fund, scroll down to the fine print at the bottom of the pawj and it shows if you donate, 50 will go towards paying down campaign debts. Campaign finance attorney say the money is going toward a new polit Action Committee the president founded called save america. That money is a slush fund that could go directly to the president. This type of fund has restrictions on how the money spent and can be used to pay for personal experiences. Trevor my man, donald jobless trump. This guy never misses a hustle. I bet as we speak hes ripping out the copper wuering from the white house walls. Keep pulling, jared, i know a guy who will give us 35 cents a foot for this tough. Trevor but that is what is happening, for anyone with brains it looks like donald trump is scamming people out of their money by saying that his country wrongly kicked him ou out of power. And i guess i owe donald trump an apology. Because i honestly thought he could never change, but he has. The dude went from being an african dictate tore a nigerian prince. When we km back i will be joined by an american soccer superstar mega rapinoe and t
