Actor Patton Oswalt — who is reportedly worth millions — attacked protesters on Saturday, arguing that they were needlessly whining about state restrictions impacting the economy during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Anne Frank spent 2 years hiding in an attic and we’ve been home for just over a month with Netflix, food delivery & video games and there are people risking viral death by storming state capital buildings & screaming, ‘Open Fuddruckers!'” he tweeted.
His comments came amid widespread calls for states to reopen their economies by removing restrictions related to the coronavirus. Social distancing and guidance surrounding “essential” activities have made it more difficult for businesses to stay open. While it’s unclear what the full economic impact will be, at least 22 million people — more than 13 percent of the workforce — have filed unemployment claims in recent weeks.
