As data begin to trickle in about the true case fatality rate for coronavirus, governors begin to talk about reopening. President Trump goes to full-scale war with the press, and Bernie finally endorses Biden.

0:10.2

And by the way, so does Obama. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

unprotected. ExpressVPN.com. Go check them out right now. Okay, so we'll get to it a little bit

0:30.2

later on in the show, but apparently Barack Obama is going to endorse Joe Biden. All it took

0:33.3

was everyone else to not be in the race for him to endorse Joe Biden. That endorsement means

0:37.0

everything right now, Barack Obama, keeping with that leading from behind strategy that worked

0:41.5

so well for him during his presidency, literally every single other person in the race had to

0:46.2

be removed and then endorsed Joe Biden for Barack Obama to be like, hey, maybe I should endorse Joe.

0:52.1

And that is true friendship. That's true friendship. When you see a friend in need, you wait for every single other human being in the universe to attempt to help that friend. And then at the very end, when they don't need the help anymore, that's when you sound off. I mean, just what wonderful relationship those two must have. We'll get to that a little bit later on in the show. First, we're going to get to everything coronavirus related. But first, let's talk about the fact that everybody is spending an awful lot of time on the internet right now. Traditional security software relies on a blacklist of known malware, but new malware pops up all the time and traditional security software cannot detect it. By the time a ransomware infection is detected, it is indeed too late. Have you ever been in a situation where this has happened? It's

1:30.8

really, really bad. Somebody will lock the files on your computer and then basically force you to pay them

1:35.3

in order to unlock those files on your computer. Well, in today's world, your computer needs software

1:40.3

that can block modern cyber threats. American-made PCmatic uses a proprietary white list of trusted programs and applications that are known to be good. If a program isn't on the white list and they try to execute, PCMatic blocks it, stopping unknown and known threats from infecting your devices. If a program hasn't proven to be trustworthy, it doesn't get a key. This is the right way to think about cybersecurity, because other programs basically let everything in unless you are saying that it can't get in. This one says you don't get in unless you are already trusted. Android phones, tablets, Macs, Windows servers, Windows computers from Windows 10 all the way back to XP and Vista. PCMatic will protect all of those systems. PCMatic also makes your computer run faster by performing automated maintenance and system optimization. You should be protecting yourself against malware, particularly an environment where you're on the internet all the time. A single PCmatic subscription protects five devices for 50 bucks per year. If you visit my special link right now, PCmatic.com slash Ben, you get an extra month of protection for free. PCmatic comes with a 30-day, no questions asked money back guarantee, your devices, but the only virus developed and supported 100% in the United States. Go to PCmatic.com

to get started right away. Again, that is PCmatic.com.

Slash-ben, go check them out right now. You can't afford to leave your stuff unprotected.

2:47.2

PCmatic.com slash ben, go check them out, right this very instant. Okay, so the continuing

2:54.0

question right now is when we reopen and how we reopen. And this has led to a pretty

2:58.9

major conflict between President Trump and the governors. The governor is suggesting that

3:01.9

they have the authority to reopen. President Trump claiming he has the authority to reopen.

3:06.1

But the big question, of course, is when the hell are we supposed to reopen and how the hell are we supposed to reopen in the absence of data? And I've been saying this over and over and over. We do not have the data yet. We are waiting for antibody tests to be rolled out. Now, the problem is that no matter which way you go, there are obstacles. Antibody tests are not perfect. Let's say that they're 95% effective. Well, that means they're 5% ineffective.

3:25.1

It could be getting a 5% false positive rate for people who are quote unquote asymptomatic,

3:29.3

and then you end up with the perception that the disease is significantly less deadly than it actually is.
