| Kathy Griffin Knows All |
| 2020-03-26 |
| [EW] After checking into a hospital with "unbearably painful" symptoms, comedian (I don't think so) Kathy Griffin has spoken out against Donald Trump's response to the coronavirus outbreak. In a quote tweet replying to the president, Griffin accused Trump of lying about how many coronavirus tests the United States has performed amid the ongoing pandemic that has claimed thousands of lives as it continues to spread around the world. She has the real information given to her by her ouiji board "I was sent to the #COVID19 isolation ward room in a major hospital ER from a separate urgent care facility," Griffin tweeted Wednesday, going on to criticize the vice president's leadership of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. "The hospital couldn’t test me for #coronavirus because of CDC (Pence task force) restrictions. #TESTTESTTEST" Griffin also shared two photos in her tweet, which appeared to show the 59-year-old in a hospital bed behind a glass door while also wearing a protective mask over her nose and mouth. I advise you to not look at the photos. If diagnosed with coronavirus, Griffin would join the likes of Tom Hanks, Idris Elba, Debi Mazar, Daniel Dae Kim, Andy Cohen, and Nyle DiMarco as celebrities who've contracted COVID-19 during the outbreak. Griffin previously sparred with Trump after she posed for a satirical photo holding a severed prosthetic head molded in the president's likeness, which led to intense public backlash and ignited a federal investigation. When reached, a representative for Griffin was unable to immediately confirm the status of Griffin's health, but EW will update this post if new information becomes available. The White House did not immediately return our request for comment on Griffin's accusation against Trump. |

| #17 Speaking of... uh... rushing to the aid of Los Angeles, what's up with the Mercy? Big media hoopla over the weekend about Monday morning departure. Bummed I was at having slept in and missed it (bumming somewhat mitigated by being more bummed about closure of Cabrillo). Then, yesterday, there she was, heading out to sea on more or less the course you'd expect. Pretty sure she made it out of sight. Okay, fair weather and swallow yer sneeze! But now, as I type, there she goes again, same bat course, same bat channel. |

| #8 ^And the fact that, at least in the beginning, they did the exact opposite of the recommended - because Trumpf endorsed these recommendations. |

| #7 it just me or is the rate of infection among B-list celebrities much higher than among the population at large? I'm guessing it's a combination of attention whoring and licking the wrong things. |

| #5 So they test when you have symptoms of COVID. The pain associated with having your head up your ass and not being able to pull it out does not warrant a test... |
