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?

spoiler alert: this is a pandemic that went down in the history books
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
Every Kurzgesagt video: -Facts -Scares you -Then calms you down -Add birds
-
I can't believe this was published almost a year ago
-
4 years ago is insane
-
This video made me feel thankful, yet existential for the fact I tuned in out of some kind of nostalgia. I had COVID twice, Delta and Omicron. Props to my immune system, I hope they don't unionize.
-
2019: Stay away from negative people 2020: Stay away from positive people
-
This year 2020 is like..... Looking left And right And left again.... Before crossing the road.... and then getting hit by an airplane ...
-
2 years later, and the response Iβve seen in the world just fuels my depression
-
We need an updated version of this going through the mutations and also all the knowledge we have gained about it!
-
Symptoms of Covid19: Dry cough, fever and an urge to travel the world
-
Bruh we unlocked the bad ending
-
This right here is a certified historical artifact
-
This is such a great and useful information. Thank you! I'm astonished by the video presentation itself! Damn, I cannot imagine how much work and coordination has gone into it, just marvelous!
-
Speaking this as an American, I remember watching this back in March thinking that this would be manageable since people would definitely social-distance and slow the spread. Oh hopeful me. You were so young and naive.
-
Kurzgesagt 2019: We take minimum 6 months to take out a new video Kurzgesagt 2020: Pulls off in weeks Hats off guys! Stay safe!!
-
Even in 2024 this is so existential. Existential dread: 12/10
