“ ‘Many people who are dying, both here and around the world were on their last legs anyway, and I don’t want to sound callous about that.’ ”

That’s former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly explaining on Sean Hannity’s radio show why he believes the coronavirus pandemic is being overblown.

“The [U.S. death toll] projections that you just mentioned are down to 60,000, I don’t think it will be that high — 13,000 dead now in the USA,” O’Reilly added.
