A huge thanks to the experts who helped us on short notice with the video. Especially βOur World in Dataβ, the online publication for research and data on the worldβs largest problems β and how to make progress solving them. Check out their site. It also includes a constantly updated page on the Corona Pandemic.
In December 2019 the Chinese authorities notified the world that a virus was spreading through their communities. In the following months it spread to other countries, with cases doubling within days. This virus is the βSevere acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2β, that causes the disease called COVID19, and that everyone simply calls Coronavirus.
What actually happens when it infects a human and what should we all do?

For the first time in human history You can save humanity By simply staying at home and do absolutely nothing And you screwed it up
-
spoiler alert: this is a pandemic that went down in the history books
-
I remember watching this a few years ago, thinking about the uncertainty of what will happen. Now, my school has told me to do a project on it. Man, time flies.
-
4 years ago is insane
-
2019: Stay away from negative people 2020: Stay away from positive people
-
I can't believe this was published almost a year ago
-
It's so frustrating to see this information laid out up front, and knowing how the public responded to the pandemic over the next few years.
-
This right here is a certified historical artifact
-
This year 2020 is like..... Looking left And right And left again.... Before crossing the road.... and then getting hit by an airplane ...
-
Every Kurzgesagt video: -Facts -Scares you -Then calms you down -Add birds
-
4 years ago... still can't belive it. This time passed so fast
-
2 years later, and the response Iβve seen in the world just fuels my depression
-
βWash your hands as if youβve just cut up some jalapenos and want to put in your contacts next.β Iβve never heard such threatening yet convincing instructions on how to wash my hands until now.
-
βQuarantines are not great experiencesβ I was already having fun being lazy. Now time to do it better.
-
Who's here after corona?
-
I'M STILL STANDING π₯AFTER ALL THESE TIMES ππ₯
-
Symptoms of Covid19: Dry cough, fever and an urge to travel the world
-
