Hannity was calling Coronavirus a hoax a mere 8 days ago
How does Sean Hannity have a TV show?
His malicious assholery isn't some artifact of ancient history. It is ongoing.
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): We gotta be very real with the American people, I don't like how we're scaring people unnecessarily. And that is that unless you have an immune system that is compromised, and you are older, and you have other underlying health issues you're not going to die 99% from this virus, correct? DOUG COLLINS: That is correct Sean, it's good to be with you again. HANNITY: Alright so that's the point, I mean they're scaring the living hell out of people. And I see I seeing them again as like oh, okay, let's bludgeon Trump with this new hoax
A few of my favorite Covid19 social distancing podcasts

Make some calls to help Jess defeat Coons
Since you can't knock on doors, please consider phone banking for Jess Scarane. I'm a tech dummy, but even I found it a very easy system to use.
Since we can't canvass due to coronavirus, we will be phonebanking instead! We need to make up for not being able canvass so it's really important to get everyone on the dialer right now. We will be phonebanking from noon-9pm tomorrow as well. Who can join??

Oh Fuck, No!
This is bad. If Biden goes with Klobuchar it will make Gore's selection of Joe Lieberman look good in comparison.
