and why india's corona problem could soon become everyone's corona problem. so let's do this, people, welcome to "the daily social distancing show." >> from trevor's couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is "the daily social distancing show" with trevor noah! ♪ ♪ >> trevor: let's kick things off with the oscars, the biggest night to have the year for hollywood and for people who manufacture red carpets. despite the pandemic shaking everything up, the oscars pulled off a lot of cool moments last night. we got to see an awards show in a train station, right. we saw regina king get her steps in. and we even got to see glenn close audition to be in cardi b's next video. but we also got a lot of history made last night. chloe zhao con an award, and daniel cay will will kaluuya myn oscar and a beat down from his momma on the same night. >> and the oscar goes to daniel kaluuya. ( cheers and applause ) >> we're going to celebrate life, man. we're breathing, walking, it's incredible. it's incredible. like it's incredible. my mom, my dad

i never thought i'd see the day when i'd be nostalgic for original corona. because every time this thing mutates, it just gets more dangerous. just once i'd like to turn on the news and hear that a virus mutated in a good way. "this just in from the c.d.c.: there's a new mutant corona strain that makes you last perform better in bed." and this double mutant comes on top of the u.k. variant, which is now the dominant strain in america. well done, king george. you played that long game. and, look, the experts will tell you that this is just another reason for everyone to get vaccinated. but none of these so-called doctors and scientists give you the other point of view. so we at "the daily show" made a p.s.a. for why you maybe shouldn't get the vaccine. i know there are some people out there telling you not to get vaccinated. and you know what? they're right. >> they are right. >> they're so right. >> they are right! >> trevor: if we all get vaccinated, then life goes back to the way it used to be. and do we really want that? >> do you really want to drink at

oh, hey, corona. i know you want to come into my lungs but before that i was wondering, do you have any good podcasts you would recommended. wow, with serial killers? that's cool. aaahhh! yeah! that's right! i got the screens! bitch! whoo! but let's move on to some political news. donald trump may have lost the 2020 election, but that's only if you count all the votes against him. the good news is that isn't mean he walked away from the race empty handed. >> some trump supporters may have gotten or given more than they bargained for when they donated to his recollection campaign. a "new york times" investigation found people who thought they were sending a single donation were charged over and over again by his campaign operation, and what the "times" calls an intentional scheme to boost revenue. recurring online donations were set up by default. here is how that fine print disclaimer looked. take a look at this. it was buried, that tiny line debottom of the first yellow box calls for a weekly recurri

the world of vaccine passports, which i think are a great and simple way to show you're immune from corona. i mean, i've just been going around yelling that i've been shot. and you'd think people would relax knowing i've been vaccinated, but they always seem to freak out. people are weird. people have become weird. am i right? not to mention, this can help give businesses peace of mind. american businesses want to know that the customers legally carrying assault rifles into their stores aren't going to sneeze on anyone. and, by the way, this isn't an actual passport, which is good, because my passport photos always end up looking like this. i don't know why you take the picture while i'm sneezing. also, why am i always sneezing? it's proof of a vaccination, which may sound like a novel idea, but it's really nothing new. >> i like the idea of the passport in terms of identifying people. we do it all the time. you can't go to college without being vaccinated from meningococcus. you can't go to the mecca on hajj unless you've been vaccinated for the same bacteria. so we've used this in a zill

is just trying to cover all the bases, because maybe there is a tiny chance you can get corona, even if you are vaccinated. but if that messaging ends up convincing people that there is not much of a reason to get vaccinated at all, then we are shooting ourselves in the foot, which is not something we should do. or, as the c.d.c. would put it, "masked guy in an indoor red zone." all right, when we come back, dulce sloan takes a look at the women who made rap history. you don't want to miss it. riding a bike should be a really fun experience. we make low maintenance bicycles, for everyday riders. we were coming off a great year, and when the pandemic hit, it just stopped. we really had to think creatively. teams allowed us to do what we call virtual visits. hey, is that tk? hi, how are you? we're able to see two or three-fold the amount of customers from all over the world. without teams there's no way this would have been possible. i really think it's going to set a standard for retail moving forward. watch this, he'll think we're vip. wow, he does think we're vip. and backstage! tru

the alcohol in his blood will kill any corona that gets in there. but that's right, the u.k. is finally out of lockdown, and that's in part thanks to a very successful vaccine program. now one thing that the british did differently is they prioritized giving everyone a first shot quickly rather than making sure people got both doses which makes sense. it's like if you have ten pints of beer, you want to let everyone have some so that everyone can enjoy the party. you don't let one (~bleep~) guy drink all ten pints! that would be insane, charlie! oh, and another wig difference between america and the u.k. is that the u.k. and a lot of other countries actually had a real lockdown. no stores. no pubs. no nothing. america never did that. that's why right now some americans are going, well, i don't know get why my life will change for with the vaccine. for you it won't because you never stopped going to t.g.i.f. friday's. let's move on, you may be asking now that we're slowly getting out of the coronavirus disaster what are we going to do now? we tray to make another one. >> japan
