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 “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?

Phew. That might have been the fastest we ever made a video. Literally working day and night. A huge challenge in talking about Corona was that the science is ongoing. So we put in extra special care to have good sources for this video and will update them in the coming weeks and months. Check them out here: sites.google.com/view/sourcescorona
We could not have made this video without experts who took time in one of the busiest periods of their own careers. A huge thanks especially to Dr James Gurney and Dr Max Roser of Our World in Data for helping us make sure the video was as accurate as it could be in a situation that is changing daily.
Also a big shoutout to ourworldindata.org/ - the online publication for research and data on the world’s largest problems - and how to make progress solving them. Check out their site. It also includes a constantly updated page on the Corona Pandemic. Working together with them over the years has been a delight.

Hats off guys! Stay safe!!
Because this video is important for everyone...
Kurzgesagt want to spread awareness.
Obviously this video took months to make. Don't you see, they created the virus so more people would stay inside and watch their videos!

We need an updated version of this going through the mutations and also all the knowledge we have gained about it!
And how it spreads.
I think they are working on it now hopefully
We need an update on how the government created vaccines to make the dumb sick and have health issues, so glad I wasn't apart of the sheep who got the jab
You've done in 8 minutes what most TV stations have been unable to do in weeks! Thank You!
the sad truth. if only the mass media were a lil bit like them
The media only wants viewers and their viewers are the average person. Kurzgesagt viewers are intelligent and understand things that are not incredibly oversimplified. Kurzgesagt oversimplify stuff but not to the degree the mainstream media does because if the mainstream media simplified it that much their viewers wouldn't understand what they're talking about. Also Kurzgesagt isn't pushing an agenda what's takes 90% of the content out of the video so we end up with an 8 minute video that has great animation and actually informs people.
what he did is actually summary of what the whole world came up with experiencing by dying by corona, testing, searchingi talking or publishing so dont forget to count time

“Wash your hands like you just cut up a jalapeño and want to put a contact in your eye” - perfect way to encourage people to wash their hands PROPERLY!
@A. Sayied whatever floats your boat! But don't walk around spraying jalapeño juice over other people.
Numerous websites have popular songs you can sing while washing your hands. Pick one and have fun! Make a game of it. A spoonful of sugar...
What if I don't wear contacts and never had a jalapeno?
Yes exactly!
To be honest I was never able to properly remove all traces of pepper from my hands when I were cooking something spicy. And one time I did try to change contact lenses...
I feel like, this video should be played on loop in our hospital waiting rooms, in the TV and should be in everyone's TH-cam recommendation.
Edit: TH-cam with this many likes, you can see how many people want this video to spread and inform everyone of how the virus really works, so make your TH-cam recommendations useful at least once and really put this into people's recommendations list. That's the least you can do as a social sharing platform to help fight the virus.
Not a bad idea.

@@Nano12123 It's done like this so people don't spread missinformation. I found this video on the frontpage btw.
Caught covid for the first time this month and as an immunocompromised person it was scary. Luckily I was able to get Paxlovid which is a medication given to those at a high risk of developing severe illness and makes it so covid can’t replicate inside your body. If it wasn’t for the medication I would have ended up in the hospital even though I’m fully vaccinated. After being so sick even with medication and vaccines it makes everything I went through in the beginning of the pandemic worth it. I didn’t leave my house for months, only having contact with my immediate family, I suffered extreme depression and isolation, I missed my high school graduation, and I lost friends over them not taking things seriously. But had I caught covid before I was vaccinated, before medications were available, and while the healthcare system was at the brink of collapse I without a doubt would have died. It’s good to know that everything I sacrificed saved me
😮
Genuinely, I am so sorry you went through so much hardship. I hope things are improving for you and your support network is strong.

THE Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority has approved a contract for three new US$35 million neopanamax electric dockside cranes for the Bayport Container Terminal's Wharf 5.
The three new ship-to-shore cranes are expected to be operational in the summer of 2021 and will be the tallest to date at the port of Houston, standing at 48 metres under the spreader and will be capable of handling 18,000 TEU ships. The three cranes will expand the port's fleet of ship-to-shore cranes to 29 in total.
The port also authorised ship channel expansion work that includes "critical-path" professional services for engineering, design and project coordination. The widening and deepening of the ship channel is required for improved safety and the future growth of regional and national commerce, reported the American Journal of Transportation.
The port authority has proposed an expedited schedule whereby dredging could start by 2021 and the project be completed in 2024.
Said Port of Houston executive director Roger Guenther: "Our facilities have handled close to 30 million tons of cargo through August, an increase of seven per cent over last year as both container volumes and steel have maintained their upward trends in 2019."
Container throughput in the first eight months of the year totalled two million TEU, representing a year-on-year increase of 11 per cent. Mr Guenther said he expects to the port to handle three million TEU by year-end.

Ben P you do realize that this video is not just some normal raw video right? This video was made by experts and is carefully constructed. It takes a lot of time to make these types of videos considering they are informational vids. Maybe you should use your brain no matter how hard it is for you to understand simple concepts.
@@benp9793 I don't believe that they mean "hours" or "years" to make a video in the traditional sense of this expression. I would guess they are referring to the cumulative amount of time needed for completion - i.e. the sum of all hours that all people working on the video spend. They can still work in parallel - if two people each spend 5 hours on a clip, it will take 5 hours, but cumulatively they will have spent 10hrs.
Who’s watching this video in 2024 when there are vaccines 🎉
It painful how accurate this prediction was, and how so many refused to listen to anyone and help save people. So many lives lost, and not just old or sick people. Yes, my grandmother was old, and the nursing home scrambled to separate the sick; they didn't realize how it was spreading yet. Their air system was in need of repair/replacement.
My best friend however, she was young, she was healthy. She wasn't antivax but fear was swaying those around her and made her wary and hesitant. She got the Delta variant, it happened so fast they didn't even have time to get her on the ventilator. Only 24, all her hopes and dreams will have to stay just that, because she's gone. I miss them both so much. I can't believe it's already been almost four and three years without them. It still hurts.
May god be with you my friend 🙏

Fast Pandemic. Absolutely. This WILL be remembered.
Back in early 2020 watching this is just Goosebumps
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.
ahhh.. i, too, remember the days when i still had an inkling of faith in humanity
I remember thinking we'd all actually stay home, get it under control then SLOWLY start going back out! Meanwhile my county and city did neither, didn't wear masks, social distance, etc now we are spiking up at CRAZY levels!! Ran out of nurses and ICU beds!!
Ironically. My viewpoint hasn't changed since we first started hearing about another SARS-like disease.
@@wolfza2630 I'm scared to ask what you mean.
@@squidbro6635 We know almost as little about the actual death and infection rate post Italy than we did then.
People are still stuck in panic mode.
Major U.S cities have been fudging their stats to gain additional federal relief funding since C-19 hit the U.S. That skews the U.S data being fed to the CDC.
N Italy had a massive elderly population and China obviously aren't reporting their true stats to this day.
Inbetween we've allowed massive protests and full blown riots for weeks with nobody saying a word about how that affects any infection data.
No politician is willing to admit that we have assuredly killed a large part of the global economy and we still:
A. Don't know exactly how C-19 compares with Seasonal flu or SARS and likely never will.
B. Haven't stopped the spread and most likely can't actually slow it down or stop it until we have a vaccine.
Sweden is now reporting a huge drop in infections despite not locking down at all and apear to have achieved at least the beginning of herd immunity.
We do now the avg age of C-19 death in the U.S is 80 and that's with the skewed data.
So from an academic standpoint, we know sweet f*ckall about the actual infection/death rate but have slaughtered the global economy.
As an actual cashier at a large grocery store for whom “working from home” is not an option - yes, please stay at home as much as you can. You do not need to stockpile more food than you can possibly consume. Just stay calm, because flooding the grocery stores and buying everything makes the problem much, much worse.
I work at a grocery store too. It's scary how exposed we are. Social distancing is not possible. Good luck to us all.
Fuck you covid-19
My mom is spreading this image about the Stafford Act saying theyre going to shut down all businesses and send the military to stop rioters. More panic inc...
wagie get in the cagie
If you work at grocery store that means that you will get the virus on 99% and thats because you are poor social slave that cant afford to stay home and wait for the cure as the rich people. You can imagine that you are an hero on the mission to feed the nation if this is going to make your suffering a bit better to handle!
The truth is that whit this pandemic we can see the reality-rich people live on the behalf of the poor!
Even in 2024 this is so existential.
Existential dread: 12/10
Damn. It's been three years but it feels like yesterday. Time is strange.
Incredible how you were able to manage such a time sensitive topic, while still maintaining the usual quality standards
Yeah, the other medias cannot explain this much in months.. ( sorry if that was a bit of exaggeration)
they said in instagram that this video will be more minimalist than the others but IMO this is "minimalist" is still dope
@@shemi404 nice name sir
@@shemi404 That's true,I recognise that when they use informal words like "Killer T Cells order healthy cells to kill themself too".Pro scientists might not like it but this sounds funny asf.
“A successfully averted catastrophe is indistinguishable from an overreaction.”
this deserves way more likes.

Who are you quoting? This is great

Perfectly put
i remember watching this before lockdown and i was so scared

Thank you for this video
"To wash your hands properly, act like you've just cut jalapenos and want to put in your contacts next"
That is the best explanation of proper hand-washing strategies that I've ever heard.
I'll just be washing my finger tips then lol
True
I strongly agree.
I think it was just a family friendly way of saying "wash your hands like you've just touched chilli and now want to pleasure yourself".
I just came here looking for this comment. I know someone will do now I can share this video with your comment as the caption. Peace......!

Tuna King5 it toilet paper really out in the states??
2203 Valentin Yup, we still have it but it’s just barley making it to shelves before people grab it up
Yes, the future currency
Oh god yes, I had to go to 9 different stores that were practically abandoned before I found some toilet paper...
Wash your ass thuck
Watching this after covid hits hard…
Same i kinda miss 2020 and covid era not when covid kill people but the vibe of school meme and the quarantine/lockdown that accompanies the covid pandemic that's what I miss even if it’s was a dark time
The color schemes are so interesting and unique that it usually keeps me going to watch this
Symptoms of Covid19:
Dry cough, fever and an urge to travel the world
Random Dude lol 😂🤣
sounds alot like vocal cord parasites from metal gear solid 5 lmao
They can always say the virus programmed their brains to travel more.
Didnt know that corona was the neurax worm
WRONG!!!...You forgot the toilet paper!!!! You should never forget the toilet paper. See even birds remember it 8:24
Government: Stay at home and self isola-
Introverts: *Say no more*
No more seeing people at school.
can relate

Damn, that joke gets so funny after you hear it the millionth time.
You guys should do a video on asthma. I have bad asthma, and I would be fascinated to know what it REALLY is. If you guys made a video on it, it would really help.
Google it if you are actually interested

How about both
gotta go fast
slow, then fast! like a race car!
*GAS GAS GAS*
well we failed horribly. i think we're on wut hyper fast pandemic now?
This video was actually in the news
I'm proud of you kurzgesagt
Kurzgesagt: Thanks dad.
really? which channel? I'm going to try and see if I can find the clip so I could watch it myself
mruybkye I want to know as well
In what country?
No reply means u bs
would love to see an update on this with everything we’ve learned 4 years later since everything has died down.
Uploaded March 19, 2020. If there was one day I saw as an oh-shit moment, this was probably it. This was the day I took the bus over to the university campus, and found the libraries and classroom buildings closed. At that time, the bus service went to the weekend schedule through the whole week. Things were really gummed up for about the next four months.
TTTT I was one of the lucky ones (maybe, in part, one of the careful ones, I like to think). Got the shot and boosters when they appeared and were recommended, kept my distance from others, wore masks but TTTT only when mandated, and did more or less all right. Eventually, about three years from Oh Shit Day, a couple of days of feeling miserable, and a positive Covid test. Oddly, no respiratory sx, even though there had been a few times, in the year or two preceding, with various respiratory sx but Covid test showing negative.
The good news: We can mostly look forward toward the Future. The bad news: The Future is far from certain. Another pandemic could occur at any time, and godonlyknows how that might be handled.
Lawd I didn't even try to protect myself but somehow I never even got it xD
@@Youraverageanimalfriend Many things in life just come down to plain old dumb luck.

“Slow curve is better”
America: “Coronavirus speedrun any% WR”
ness is clearly sans in disguise It ain’t TAS, there were plenty of timesaves they could have done but didn’t
There's a reason why it's LITERALLY called operation warp speed
Yep we are going head first into a fast pandemic
Later Dated my guy deaths have been on the rise
@Later Dated A quick google search could've just shown you.
Tfw you realize that the Corona Pandemic started out fast and is only slowing down because of the idiots that didnt listen died, are dying, or were/are being cut off by their friends and family.
karma works in strange ways 💖💖💖
they didn't die, they are still alive, its just the corona virus did nothing to a majority of the population and theres no reason to talk about the virus anymore
Tails, provaxers never die out. Stupidit always spreads, there is more and more of them!
@@Shoobyyno reason to talk about it anymore? From a scientific standpoint I disagree. There is still so much to learn, and so much we don't know about it. Two very good reasons to keep talking about it. At least in the scientific community. If you don't like to hear it, you don't have to listen 🤷♂️
@@ceceliagonzalez7176the op wasnt refering to the scientific community he DIRECTLY REFERRED TO NORMAL PEOPLE DYING AND CALLED THEM IDIOTS which is not true, they arent dead
cant believe covid started 5 years ago

Watch music videos let time fly😎🌏🛫🛸🏙
Not only are video games not a plague on children, they helped to keep children from being compelled to spread one.
Me: Lemme introduce you with, Homework.
Sooo.. How about a follow-up, Kurzgesagt?
watching this in a post-covid world is such a strange feeling
The Spanish version of this video was used yesterday by the President of my country (Guatemala) to help everyone have a better understanding of covid19... as a long time follower and fan of your videos it was a proud moment for me!!! Thanks for your amazing work! All of Guatemala saw part of it yesterday!!!
DAMN
hey at least ur contrys leader believes coronavirus exsit
Jack clements thank god America’s leader thinks it exist
Wait where do I find the Spanish version ?
@@Coolguy-mk7hg they have a Spanish channel that records some of the videos in Spanish. There's also a German channel
We need to translate this in as many languages as possible.
There are 31 languages available (including English) as subtitles!
Needs to be shared across the world as a top priority
There still many languages missing. My gf volunteers to translate it to Albanian
magyarul már van :)
Instructions are alread being issued by governments around the world. You really think Kurzgesagt were the first people to figure out what to do lol
Unfortunate that all this information was out there, yet politics won and people died.
*provaxers won, people died.
Politicians are just one group of those provaxers.
Any updated video for this would be nice.
"There are two futures for a pandemic like Corona: fast and slow."

Fast

There're three futures for a pandemic like Corona: fast, slow, and USA
Don Mega i agree with you that the real number of cases in China is higher than what it is reported now, but I don't think it would be much higher. The authorities are using extreme methods to control the spread, which are unimaginable in the west. Another sign are celebrity deaths. There are already some celebrities in the US died of COVID, which can be treated as a small "sample" of the population. While in China, almost no celebrity died of COVID, except a handful of them living in Wuhan. It is also a sign that the widespread of the pandemic was well controlled within the Wuhan area. You can also compare it to celebrity deaths in South Korea, another good example of what a society where pandemic is fully controlled looks like. Just an insight.
I'd like to translate the subtitles to Portuguese, is it possible? If so, how can I do it? I think this video needs as many subtitles as possible, to spread the knowledge
Igualmente me gustaria traducirlo al español :p
If possible, I would also like to voice-over one in Hindi.
Click the three dots to the right of the like, dislike, etc. area, then click the option that says "add translations." Then make sure you are under the Subtitles/CC tab, and select your language by clicking the "switch language" text (if you aren't already in the correct language).
just click on the settings option for the video, click subtitles, and click "add subtitles".
@@firedskull5015 you are kidding right?
It’s trippy to watch this 3 years later
Now, COVID season is over and times just got faster for all of us who experienced it
Me: Overwhelmed by conflicting facts and opinions on the virus.
Kurzgesagt: Makes video
Me: Finally someone I can trust.
I'm still not sure what to do since I work in a grocery store and deliver food and the government has done nothing and it's out of control so yeah I dunno what I should even do and don't if anyone is gonna get it it's people like me, especially since 100 something people all use a single door, one of us has it, now everyone has it.
And at the restaurant I work at someone keeps coughing a lot. And at times she'll wear a suit, mask and some other plastic thing infront of her face and use gloves and the next second all of that is gone.
Its uncanny. I thought the same thing.
exactly, their research is always awesome and trustworthy
@@tilburg8683 in a years time, the strong majority will have been infected and successfully recovered. Those on the front lines that cannot stay home, such as yourself, will likely be among the first to be infected. The more that wait to get it later, the better. This virus will be around for many, many months. Hang in there, you'll get through this!
Can Everybody Just Appreciate How Good They Animate This
in a short amount of time too
@Patrick Kearns you're right
Yes, they did it well!
while u still can
Miguel Santino ngl I prob wouldn’t watch otherwise
Cant belive that the virus was more tame than a ton of other viruses, scary to think of what a more deadly disease with similar infection rates could've done
Also helps that we have a huge free-flow of information & access to modern medicine.
Just wanted to see how this held up - 2023 march
2024 march - Welcome to the future.
"Wash your hands like you've just cut up some jalapenos, and want to put in your contacts next." Best advice ever.
Ye I wash my hands because you don’t know if you have the virus on your hands
We Mexicans can do both no problemo
"Wash your hands like you've just cut up some jalapenos, and want to masturbate because you haven't touched another human in at least a month."
Also someone tell the Chinese not to eat "exotic" shitty food that brings the animal world diesease to human world
I can relate to this 100% I don’t want my eyes to feel like burning 🥵
