Actor Kevin James releases short film mocking strict coronavirus response

Actor Kevin James released a short film mocking strict lockdown measures and the ways social distancing has been enforced during the coronavirus outbreak.

The film, titled Out of Touch, was posted on the King of Queens star’s YouTube page and directly took shots at people who are afraid to shake hands and those who shame others for not wearing face masks.

The story begins with James and another actor being chased by police through the woods, and at one point, the other actor is caught and can be heard being ripped to shreds by police dogs.

The film then shifts to “six hours earlier” and shows the two men shaking hands in a park and being reported to the police by fellow parkgoers with masks on, which then lead to the chase in the opening scene.

The video has been viewed over 600,000 times since it was posted on Friday.

James also posted a short film called A Quarantine Birthday, which is centered around a man who is forced to celebrate his birthday alone with a virtual reality headset on.

He posted another coronavirus-related video on Tuesday titled I Miss Baseball.

Protests have erupted all across the country over the past few weeks, most notably in California and Michigan, as many people in the United States have grown frustrated with the lockdowns and business closures that have taken place despite the flattening of the infection curve.
