The Coronavirus Explained & What You Should Do
🕑 Added 2020-03-19 15:48:51 +0000 UTCIn 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 “Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2”, 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?

It's amazing how effective these simple procedures can be at managing the spread of the virus and heartening to see how we're coming together as a global society to combat this threat. Thanks for another great video! Everyone stay safe!

I'm a huge fan of Kurzgesagt and really appreciate the way you present facts - a refreshing experience in a media landscape full of disinformation and BS. Thank you so much - I just became a patron and support your creations <3

No link to "our world in data" sigh. :) great video
Annika Carlson
It’s very impressive this video was put together in such a short time!
Simon

Great video as always 😊. But I do want to point out one thing regarding the mention of secondary bacterial infection. Many deaths from flu are caused by secondary bacterial pneumonia and heart attacks that develop after the flu has weakened someone's resistance. With Covid-19, most deaths are caused by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which causes already-damaged lungs to fill with fluid, and makes breathing difficult. Unlike pneumonia, there is no pharmaceutical treatment for ARDS.

i'm doing that and if you want to help with the coronavirus computations, run the rosetta@home project. It helped predict how the protein folds and might help further :)

Dear Kurzgesagt family, this will be your most watched video ever. Awesome as always! But here comes a friendly reminder: you forgot to finish the video with your typical tools. People who did not hear kurzgesagt before may not feel what kurzgesagt is, discover your other work - they may think this is a standalone video. It would be good if you add the patreon and pledging part to the end before you open/launch the video to everyone. Good luck! And thanks for the great job!

You did a great job! You make me well informed about the virus. This is very helpful.

oh noes. That's terrible. :(

Good thing patreon notified me. The video didn't show up on my subscription feed O.o
Leak
Well, it vanished from my YouTube subscriptions page (though the soundtrack and several other coronavirus-related videos stayed) - so make of that what you will... :/

@Anthony Pardini-Bielecki: that's a thing Patreon has been doing to all videos posted on Patreon recently; it doesn't matter whether the video is really Patreon-only or public...
Leak
Uh... they are German, they have their own German channel that's partnered with the online part of german public broadcasting, they have their own German narrator and he asked about making a German version of this very specific (and very important) video, so...
Kxmode
I'm pretty sure this is the only video on Youtube that mentions coronavirus that won't be banned.

The YouTube video already has 1.8 million views and 255,000 likes.

Great work guys! When it comes to keeping people informed you guys are seriously the best, keep it up!

I could be mistaken, but the subject line of the e-mail I received was 'Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell's new patron-only video: "The Coronavirus Explained & What You Should Do" ' and I've been unable to find it watch it when not signed in and directed there by patreon.
Kira Stegner
It’s not patron only it’s on YouTube
Anouk
This video made me become a patron. Y'all keep up the amazing work, and please, for the love of god, get some sleep
Anthony Pardini-Bielecki
Love the video and all the work you do, but I have to say making this video "patron-only" seems in really poor taste. I know each video must take an incredible amount of time and energy and rushing to create one must be doubly-hard, but the idea that only people who pay will get to see this video seems like a mistake to me.

This... this i why i became a patreon

Congratulations! Awesome as always

Just started pledging, I've been watching for years and inspired me to go into science, wanna help out however I can

Just started pledging to you guys. Your effort you put into your videos, especially this one, is greatly appreciated.
Richard Hackathorn
Amazing!!! Send YouTube link to all family & friends, along with Twitter & Facebook....now!

Amazing work as always, this will

I have to say I was skeptical when you first announced it. Will it be a powerpoint slideshow with infos that are outdated within a week? Well, I was wrong. You couldn't have done it better.
Gaëtan Perrault
They have done previous collaborations with German organizations. They probably have the expertise somewhere but it is likely a large body of work, so they probably need some volunteers to cover these languages.
Timm Schneider
Amazing. Will you make a german version as well? I'm a medical professional working in a rural area in Germany and I would like to use it to educate my patient base.
Nick
You all are amazing as usual!
Alex Kaszynski
Awesome! Nicely done in such a short time.

Anthony
Guys, THANK YOU! I have no idea how you managed to create yet another informative video in such a ridiculously short amount of time... I'm already spreading this like wildfire to make sure we are all informed! :D
