Patton Oswalt performs stand-up set from his front yard during quarantine: 'Entertainers must offer hope
The viral videos of Italians singing and dancing from their apartment balconies during the country's lockdown have inspired Patton Oswalt. The 51-year-old actor and comedian shared a video of himself performing a stand-up set from his front yard as he’s staying put amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In a message on Twitter, Oswalt said he wants to offer "hope and humor" to his neighbors "in this time of quarantine."
"All right, folks! Thanks for staying in tonight, I hope you guys are isolating and securing in place," he begins in the video. "This COVID-19, I tell ya. I didn't see COVID 1 through 18, so I don't really know what this is all about. But hey, you know, great time to catch up on your streaming stuff."
Oswalt then spots his 10-year-old daughter, Alice, walking a dog in front of their house.
"Oh hey, how you doing there, how are you doing today?" The Goldbergs narrator asks.
"You suck!" Alice jokingly yells back.
People across the street are also watching Oswalt's shtick.
"You know folks, let's be sure to tip your food delivery people, but don't touch them," he quips. "Don't touch them, and yeah. I'll be here for another 40 minutes if anyone has a first date or a wedding anniversary. Something."
Oswalt concludes by saying he was "in King of Queens."

Seems like it happened when POTUS said GOOGLE would do "Drive Up Testing"
The Censorship "Virus" [STOP]?
Raven Rock
The Pentagon held an exercise for a flu pandemic 14 years ago. Here’s what was learned.
More than a decade before the coronavirus swept across the globe filling hospitals and roiling economies, the Pentagon quietly conducted an exercise to see how its secret bunker system built in case of nuclear war would stand up to a flu pandemic.
The 2006 exercise revealed just how hard it is to keep infected personnel out of a closed facility. It also underlined the limitations of massive Cold War-era bunker systems, especially for threats like a pandemic.
Built in the 1950s as an “underground Pentagon” where senior Defense Department officials and hundreds of their staffers could be moved quickly in the event of a nuclear war, Raven Rock has also served as an alternate defense headquarters in the face of what the government calls “all hazards,” a term that that has come to encompass a wide range of natural disasters, including pandemics.
In 2006, as the H5N1 “bird flu” virus was spreading around the world, the Defense Department held an exercise that tested its ability to continue operations from Raven Rock in the event of a pandemic, according to retired Army Col. Daniel Roper, who commanded Raven Rock Mountain Complex, sometimes known as “Site R,” from 2005 to 2007.
Raven Rock is one of several Cold War-era bunkers built to ensure continuity of government operations in case of nuclear war — there are similar facilities for other parts of government, such as Mt. Weather in Virginia, for the executive branch. Over the years, these facilities have been incorporated into the Pentagon’s plans for how to respond to other threats.
But even by 2006, it was increasingly clear that the hardened, deeply buried bunker-type bases like Raven Rock were of “diminishing value,” according to Paul McHale, a senior Pentagon official from that time.
“Any number of nation states have now developed capabilities that could potentially place in doubt the survivability of a hardened site,” he said. “That kind of facility was rapidly becoming an anachronism.”
In the case of a pandemic, “a hardened site would not, at least in my judgment, have been the proper choice” of a location to relocate key Pentagon personnel, said McHale. He added that his recommendation would be to move senior leaders and staff to a major military installation as far from the pandemic as possible, where they could be socially isolated.
In addition to “distancing from the pandemic outbreak,” a remote command-and-control site of that sort requires access to sufficient medical care and logistics support to sustain the newly arrived personnel indefinitely, “and most especially secure and reliable communications capabilities that could be quickly established at that site,” he said.
