Colbert contracted Covid earlier this week and started off by hosting a show at home – much like he did during the pandemic. However, the CBS show was pulled yesterday and has also been pulled for the rest of the week.

Covid was also responsible for the cancellation of Strike Force 3 – Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel’s live show that was set to take place in Las Vegas last month before Kimmel contracted Covid.

Colbert himself had to pause production on The Late Show last year after testing positive in April and a recurrence in May.

Totally normal and sustainable society, I definitely see no negative repercussions from this trajectory. BUT, for totally unrelated reasons I would love if we had a database of when celebrities get covid just so I don't have to continue wondering when rich people with much better healthcare than me drop dead of strokes and heart attacks years earlier than normal.

btw Physics Girl is still recovering from Long Covid and all her youtube friends are still out there not masking. :yea:

Once folks got their second shot, unmasking felt much safer and easier

People are convinced that masks don't work, not just the fringe right, but mainstream libs too. The only reason libs ever cared, at least in america, is because a republican was in office. We will never take meaningful action again when the next big thing hits. Covid could mutate tomorrow into the deadliest thing ever seen and libs\chuds will keep spitting in each others faces til they die.

We'll take action, but only if it means unleashing the police on undesirables.
