Somehow, Roseanne Barr figured out the conspiracy behind the Boomer Flu:
Roseanne Barr recently posited a wacky theory that the coronavirus pandemic is an effort to eliminate baby boomers like herself.
“You know what it is, Norm? I think they’re just trying to get rid of all my generation,” Barr told Macdonald during the Sunday interview on his informal YouTube talk show “Quarantined with Norm Macdonald,” in which he calls up his friends to chat. “The boomer ladies that, you know, that inherited their — you know, are widows. They inherited the money so they got to go wherever the money is and figure out a way to get it away from people.”
Macdonald seemed to play along with Barr, commenting that “because there’s so many boomers that have money and do no work, so if you got them out of society — yeah, that would be a good thriller.”
This is a historic moment, though, as it marks the first time that a Baby Boomer has actually contemplated her generational mortality and the possibility of a world without Boomers.
