are you sure this is a good idea? uh-huh. ♪ how precious [ music stops ] [ choking ] [ rope creaking ] [ cheers and applause ] everybody? i'm trevor noah and welcome to another episode of "the daily distancing show." it is now day, what, 100? maybe it's 50. i've lost count. but, anyway, here's your quarantine tip of the day -- you may not be able to leave your home right now, but don't forget, you can go anywhere you want with your imagination. ( playing ) wow! i'm in the shower! ( harp playing ) anyway, on tonight's episode, we look at how people celebrated easter while avoiding corona. a.papple and google team opinioo right the virus. let's get into it, the daily

distancing show. >> from trevor's couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is "the daily distancing show" with trevor noah! ( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> trevor: first up, some big news from the presidential race. after dropping out of the race last week, bernie sanders has endorsed joe biden. >> or, as bernie put it -- i'm passing the baton on to the younger generation. and bernie made the endorsement over a live stream chat around 3:00 in the afternoon, which was nice because they could do the endorsement over dinner. now, of course, bernie and biden have a lot that they disagree on policy, what year it is -- but, for bernie, even though biden might not be his first choice, he's obviously much better than trump. you know, it's like at the end of the titanic, rose wasn't, like, um, i wanted to get on a lifeboat, not some big wooden door, so that's a hard pass for

me. i'm just gonna, like, sink. let's move on, because if you have been watching the news, you know coronavirus is still rampaging throughout the world, and it doesn't look like it's going way way anytime soon, which is why it's important for us, more important than ever to have a little fun and remind ourselves that the world is not ending. that's what we do in our ongoing segment a ray of sunshine. ♪ first up, as people try to kill time in isolation, viral challenges are becoming more popular than ever. and over the weekend, simone biles took things to the next level. ♪

>> okay. ( screaming >> trevor: okay, simone biles, i don't think you understand what a viral challenge is. it's called a viral challenge, not a viral impossibility! us normal people, we struggle to take our pants off normally >> that's the pants-off challenge. oh, oh, oh! ( breaking glass, cat screamed ) next up, india, is taking some unique strategies to try to stop the spread of the coronavirus. the government forced ten tourists from israel, mexico, australia and austria who violated social distancing rules to write "i did not follow the rules of lockdown so i am so sorry," 500 times. yeah, 500 times they have to

write it out, like bart simpson. and in a less dramatic move, one indian man built a vehicle that looked like the virus to warn people to stay indoors. if you ever wondered what the opposite of an ice cream truck would be, this is it. i think it seems ridiculous, but i think a corona car driving around is a great idea. it makes it seem physical. if you will see the car, it will be, like, corona's in town and you will take it seriously. that car needs to drive around 1600 pennsylvania avenue. trump will take it seriously then. he will be looking out the window, oh, my god the coronavirus found me, it knows i was talking shit about it. i'm sorry, corona, you're not like the flu at all! and finally, one to have best things we've seen during coronavirus is how people are working to keep up their spirits, which is something we've got to. do we've seen people throwing distancing block parties, deejays are battling online

and the latest trend, people have started dressing up to take out their trash. >> in the strange new world of social distancing, self-isolation and working from home, people are finding new ways to entertain themselves or stay a little bit sane, that the previously mundane can suddenly be the high light of your day, like taking out the trash, whether dressing to impress like this unicorn, or if you really miss going to the beach or if it is a wedding anniversary. >> trevor: this is so much fun, people are dressing up like animals to take out the trash, and to come full circle, the animals will dress up like people. i have been getting in on this. when i take out the trash, i dress up like a mobster and i tie my trash bag up in three places so it looks like a dead body. i knowt it seems dark, but when my neighbors see any, the last thing they're worried about is coronavirus.

enough of that. let's catch up on the headlines. with 70 coronavirus vaccines now in development, the world is trying to figure out how to fill the gap until they're ready. and on friday, apple and google announced an unprecedented teamup to build tracking software that could tell you when you come into contact with someone who tha who has coronav. this is really inspiring, two tech giants putting aside differences to spy on americans together. i know some people aren't happy about this, that their iphones or android phones are going to go takashi 6-9 on them, but i think it's a great idea and they need to keep the feature long after the coronavirus. switch the disease. what's going on, girl? mind if i highlight you for a second. "he's got herpes!" that's just my phone, man, i

ain't got herpes -- if technology doesn't help us track down the virus, racism will step in instead because, according to reports, people in china -- and this story is crazy -- people in china have started blaming the african expat community for the spread of the coronavirus in their country. yeah, so now they've even started barring people who look african from restaurants or evicting them from their homes. this is insane that the coronavirus is doing this, right, because clearly the coronavirus doesn't just expose your underlying health conditions, it also exposes your underlying racism. you can blame africans for many things -- you can blame us for inventing the buventing the wuzr hoardinhoarding the diamonds, fr blocking south america's view of india, but the one thing you cannot blame africans for is the coronavirus. we are here in these streets trying to fight racism against chinese people and now there are people in chinese trying to flip

things and use the racism against us. you don't understand, chinese people, black people and chinese people need to work together. seen rush hour? do you understand the words coming out of my mouth? and i know there are cities who want to make sure people stay as safe as possible but some take it too far. >> a disturbing video from philadelphia. it shows authorities forcibly removing a man from a bus because he wasn't wearing a mask. >> yo! what the (~bleep )! (~bleep ), (~bleep ), (~bleep ). >> city officials say the man was forced off after refusing to leave the vehicle. the man was not arrested or cited. >> trevor: wow, okay. what the hell was that, philadelphia? if you want someone to wear a mask that badly, why not just give him a mask? because this is a weird way to treat someone you think might be infected. quick! put your hands all over him! cover his mouth!

now touch your mouth! now touch his mouth, now yours! yeah, we got the coronavirus under control! and finally as the coronavirus has steadily shut down the u.s., it is having some dramatic effects on the food supply chain. some farms are being forced to dump out millions of gallons of milk and throwing away tons of produce because there are no schools, restaurants and no big sporting events to buy the supplies. since there was no march madness in year, america is now facing a huge surplus of chicken wings. yeah, and you know who must be the most angry about this? all the chickens who lost their wings for no reason. they probably are just sitting there like, you took our wings? man! we would have used toes wings! what were you going to use them for? ttothanthat's mott the point. there are a ton of chicken wings

that need to be eaten and that's something donald trump has been training for his entire life. that's it for th the headlines. now the big story. easter, the holiday where millions of people around the globe commemorate jesus dying on the cross and get visited by the freakish love child of a rabbitt and chicken. but if most of the world's population isn't allowed to leave their homes, well, then, how do you get to church? thanks to technology, now the church can get to you. >> from a sunrise service in new york streamed online to the front lines at memorial hospital in browerred county, florida, easter the most holy day on the christian calendar, celebrated around the world in most cases to empty pews. the congregations instead connected like never before. the pope who is usually before crowds of tens of thousands in st. peter's square instead delivered his message over the internet to the world's 1.2 billion catholics.

>> trevor: yes, churches around the world were forced to hold their easter services online. and i know it seems weird, but i actually think this is very religious because you know who else never shows up in person? the big guy. he's always telecommuting. except instead of skype he just uses a burning bush or a rainbow or a giant flood. i mean, he could have just texted, but i guess emojis don't pack the same punch. i know this sunday was sad for many church-goers, but for the catholic church, this is a good thing -- keeping the priest separate from the congregation might not be the worst idea. now, for many people, online church just doesn't have the same feel. so they found responsible ways to still gather in the lord's name. >> a unique approach for manither churches, drive-in services. drivers honking in praise in bedford hills, new york. ( honking ) >> i like that. >> sitting safely inside their cars listening to a sermon.

in ohio, another parking lot easter celebration. >> it's just a blessing that we can all get together and continue to worship, even though we are in our cars. >> trevor: you see, now that's great thinking. people still doing what they need to do whilst being responsible. and if drive-in church has become a regular thing, best believe your grandmother is going to buy herself a pimped out ride to use as her sunday best. praise the lord! and why stop at drive-in churches? they should move this into everything. they should make churches at a drive-through though it will suck when the preacher gets your order wrong. i ordered forgiveness but i got guilt. >> is this your order. >> no. >> yes it is. >> okay, thank you. >> this is happening all over the world. while america was celebratingeers in drive-in, other countries were going fly

bis. >> many leaders cot creative to celebrate easter. one brees and brazil went above and beyond. the father climbed into a helicopter to share a blessing on everyone below. >> trevor: in brazil, a priest flew over the city in a helicopter and blessed everybody from the sky. that is super cool. i will say, though, i feel bad for the people on the ground who aren't religious. oh, damn it! oh, man! i was just going for a jog, now i'm blessed in the love of jesus! this is not how i planned my day! i know some of you haters out there are, like, why didn't he just pray from the ground? the prayers will still work. no i tell you why he did that because preachers know prayers work better when you're closer to heaven. it's the same way if you want your internet to work better you have to sit closer to your neighbor's wi-fi router. unfortunately, some neighbors in america didn't want to do

telechurch or car church, they just wanted regular church and didn't care whether it was legal or not. >> easter sunday and some defied stay-at-home orders, determined to hold in person services no matter the mandate. in jackson, mississippi, pastor horton allowed worshipers to worship inside. >> some churches defied warnings with in-person services. >> trevor: congratulations, the demons have left your body but object because coronavirus has moved in ( as demon ) i might be the spawn of satan but i take social distancing seriously. it seems some people are still observing social distancing while observing their religious beliefs and that the the smart move because, with modern technology, you can get the full church experience and keep you and your family safe. but please remember this -- if you're going to try and do your confessions over zoom, you really want to make sure you're

careful. >> bless me father for i have sinned. this quarantine is messing me up so bad i have been having fantasies about shaking people's hands. total strangers. i just want to rub their hands. it's so hot. last night i couldn't eat i stress ate my family's tuna, that dry ass tuna in the water, like flakey cotton balls. also i told everybody on instagram i baked my own banana bread, isn't true, i stole pictures from chrissy teigen and but it on my account. watching so much porn! i just miss seeing people in large groups! it's been so long! god forgive me! >> uh, roy, i think you called into the office zoom by mistake. >> oh, shit! no, no. >> yeah. >> no, no, no! i have been hacked. i have been hacked. how do you get off this thing? >> it's the leave meeting button in the right bottom hand corner.

>> leave meetin'? there it is, i see it right there. thank you. >> trevor: i hope you find peace, roy. we'll be right back. nowadays you do more from home than ever before. the xfinity my account app puts you in control with digital tools to give you the help you need when you need it. get fast and easy answers with personalized help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. change your wifi password to a phrase that's easy to remember. even troubleshoot your services on your own. we're working to make things a little easier for everyone. download the xfinity my account app today.

"the daily distancing show." let's talk a little bit about panic. it's the roommate you've had for about a month now and with this pandemic still raging across the world, we all need to find a way to cope with panic. well, our very own desi lydic talked to an expert on panic to figure out just how to do that. >> so we're about a month into self-quarantining now and while some people will have to fight the virus itself, there's another hidden enemy -- >> momma! >> our emotions. >> people who die from coronavirus just part of the anxiety. >> the worst to have the coronavirus is yet to come. >> a lot of folks are really anxious about this. >> cable news is doing a great jobt at scaring the shit out of me, so i decided to talk with an expert in emotions, dr. steve taylor. he's a professor of psychiatry

and also the author of the book "the psychology of pandemics." dr. taylor, thanks for talking to us. how are you doing? >> i'm doing okay. how about you? >> hanging in there. so, obviously, a lot of people are very concerned about their physical health during this time and trying to stay healthy and not get sick. how important is maintaining good mental health during this time? >> it's hugely important because a lot of the stresses of covid 19 don't have to do with so much of your physical health, they have to do with the impact of not being able to go to work and being self-isolated. so managing those stresses is hugely important. >> how afraid should we be? like, on a scale of one to ten jars of urine that i'm collecting just in case they cut off the water? >> that depends on your individual situation. some people have realistic concerns, particularly frail -- medically frail seniors that we don't need to freak out. >> so you would say maybe scale

back to four jars of urine? >> how big a jar are we talking about, though? >> like mason size. >> no, probably one jar of that. >> for the whole family. >> no, each. each. >> ah. >> you're not drinking each other's urine, that's gross. >> you don't have to get judgy. what are tips of handling stress and anxiety during this outbreak. >> there's no one side fits all. everyone's different. it's important to use whatever coping strategies i've used before, setting struck choir for yourself, you've got a routine for your children, things like that. whatever stress management method works for you, could be physical exercise. you could use this opportunity to try things you never tried before like meditation. so there are all kinds of things to try. >> so for med traition, how many benadryls should i be slipping into my child's breakfast to accomplish is this? >> i would wait for him to go down for a nap. that's probably better.

>> you're saying don't give him benadryl? >> yeah. he'll be fine. he's fine. >> how well do you think americans are equipped psychologically to keel deal with this kind of pandemic? >> people tend to be really resilient to stress, most people are, but they're going to look to their leaders for advice. leaders need to be careful about the sort of messages they send out. people's anxieties about infection depend on whether they see their leaders as responsible and trustworthy and able to do the job. >> so you said, um -- you said our leaders, it comes down to our leadership? >> in part. >> whoo -- (~bleep ). we are (~bleep ). goddam it. thank you, doctor.

i was pretty panicked when we started this call and now i'm even more panicked. so thank you for your expertise! >> you're welcome. >> stay healthy! >> you, too. >> so there you have it, as long as we practice good stress management and have responsible leadership, americans will be emotionally okay. >> trevor: desi lydic, everybody. we'll be right back. daily dist"

>> earlier today, i spoke with claire babineaux fontenot, the c.e.o. of feeding america, a nationwide network of food banks that are helping to feed tens of millions of hungry people across the united states. check it out. claire, welcome to "the daily distancing show." how are you? >> thank you. i'm really pleased to be here. under unfortunate circumstances, but so pleased that you gave us an opportunity to address your audience. >> trevor: oh, i'll be honest, i feel like the opportunity is

ours because i have been reading through some of the material about feeding america, and it is honestly ridiculous that, a, how many people you need to feed and, also, the fact that most people don't even know that this is happening. tell us a little bit about feeding america and what you do. >> so we're a network of 200 food banks around the united states. we partner with 60,000 food pantries, soup kitchens, male programs. in normal times with 2 million volunteers. and we distribute over 4 billion meals to over 40 million people, and that's before this crisis. so, to your point, there's been a really serious food crisis in this country before this pandemic, and that crisis has only been made worse because of it. >> trevor: is there a misconception around who needs food and who a food bank serves? >> there absolutely is. so, for instance now, the vast

majority to have the increase that we're seeing would be among people who never imagined that they would ever need us. i mean, the federal reserve bank estimated that the typical american does not have more than $400 to address an emergency. so you missed one paycheck and you are in the middle of a crisis, in the middle of a pandemic, which a lot of people are experiencing right now. and even before this crisis, sometimes just completely unexpected things happen to people in their lives and, as a result, they find themselves in a position of really needing help, and our network tries hard to make sure to serve them with dignity and respect because we know that so many of us could find ourselves in the fact same position one day. we hoped it would pt happen, but should it happen, we want to be there to serve people with dignity and respect that they deserve. >> trevor: you talk about feeding 40 million before

coronavirus, the number jumping up by as many as 17 million in the coming month or month. how are you scaling up? we are reading about food slowly diminishing across the country and even across the world as global supply chains start to break down. are you managing with this? are you coping? what are you doing to scale up and getting food to the people who need it? >> well, we're working very actively with farmers and industry leaders, and we're also working with the government as well, the department of agriculture, where we're getting close, i believe, to a meaningful partnership where we really just turn this whole distribution system on its ear and address the here and now challenges and connect the dots because i don't know that our biggest issue is a lack of food. i think our biggest issue is if we don't have an infrastructure for delivering food in this new environment, and we're work hard

to connect those dots so we can be in a much better position to use the excess that exists in certain places and fill in the gaps that exists in others. >> trevor: there may be some watching saying i appreciate what feeding america is doing but i don't know if i can contribute $100 to help a family get meals. what would you say to them? >> i would say to them that we value one dollar, two dollars, three dollars. the key is to give what you can. whatever you can provide, i can assure you this, that we take every investment as a sacred trust in us and our network. and in our covid 19 fund which we established, and you can go to feeding america.org and there donate if you have the ability to donate, then do. if you don't, then, of course, some people simply can't do that right now. but if you can, feeding america.org, if you donate to that covid 19 fund, 100% of the proceeds, no administrative

costs, nothing, 100% goes directly back into communities to make certain that we're feeding people who need us. a second thing, though, that i strongly encourage people to do as well is to go to the same web site and, if you type in your -- we have a food bank locator, and if you put in the zip code for the community you have the biggest interest in helping, you can go out and find a food bank that's serving that community and sometimes what they need are volunteers. they're in a very good position, i guess is the best way for me to say it, at the community level to help you know how to help the community that you care the most about. >> trevor: i'm hoping you get all the help you need on the federal level and anybody who can help. thank you for taking the time. i hope as many people come out to help people feed people in america. thank you for your time. if you want to help out feeding america, all you need to do is go to the web site below and

donate whatever you can to help people who do not have food right now. anyways, stay safe out there. remember, when washing your hands, try and sing a different song every day so your hands don't get bored. we'll be back again tomorrow. first here it is... your moment of zen.
