A Time-Lapse Map of Every Death From the Coronavirus Pandemic (Up to July 2020)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- This is an audio-visual time-lapse of every death from the Coronavirus pandemic from January to June 2020. Inspired by Isao Hashimoto's “A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945”; each country is represented by a tone and an expanding blip on the map when a death from Covid-19 is recorded. Each day is 4 seconds long, and at the top of the screen is the date and a counter showing the total numbers of deaths. Every country that has had a fatality is included.
🎧 Headphones recommended 🎧
Like the outbreak of Coronavirus, this work starts in China and it starts slowly. But of course, it rapidly spreads. The piece starts to rapidly pick up at around the 3:30 mark but I strongly recommended watching the whole piece from the beginning to truly experience the overwhelming scale. The virus grows continuing to work its way throughout the world until the end of June - where this piece ends but the real virus has not. At the time of uploading this Covid-19 has claimed over 500,000 deaths worldwide (750,000 as of August 13th 2020). It is likely a sequel will need to be made.
This work was emotionally a difficult piece to write and may be upsetting to some people. I created it to highlight the terrifying spread of this virus and to try and understand how frightening its exponential growth has been. There seems to be something much more real and chilling about these numbers when you hear them, as well as seeing them.
There are no words in this piece, only symbols, numbers, and flags. I would like this to be understood and seen by as many people around the world as possible from all countries and cultures. Sometimes there are no words for terrible events like this. If you are available to help me translate this description for other languages then please do get in touch via my TH-cam or Instagram channels.
Dedicated to every person that tragically lost their lives to Covid-19.

FURTHER DETAILS:
I chose the date format (YYYY-MM-DD) because of the Europe/North America difference between the layout of month and day. I hope this version is the clearest.
Each country’s audio is panned at its perceived place on the world map e.g. USA is left, Japan is right, UK in the center etc.
The tonal choices were roughly ordered with the main epicentre of the virus being in the middle range (Europe), with countries less affected in the higher register. Mexico and South America are mostly lower notes which sweep in towards the end of the piece as the epicentre of the virus shifts to the Americas.
Several territories & microstates (e.g. Hong Kong) were included where deaths occurred, and two cruise ships - the Diamond Princess and MS Zaandam. These are represented by the Carnival Cruise Line flags at the end.
At the end of the piece is the breakdown of deaths per country as of June 30th, 2020, represented by each countries official flag.
All instruments were made with the Retro Synth plugin in Logic Pro.
The ethereal reverb sound is an audio plugin called Valhalla Shimmer.
Music was created in Logic Pro, and animation in Adobe After Effects.

DISCLAIMER:
This is created by the official data that countries have reported as of July 1st, 2020. This piece is portrayed as accurately as possible, painstakingly copying over 20,000 lines of data - although there are a few artistic licences. The data is primarily gathered from the COVID-19 Tracker from the London School Of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, with backup data from Johns Hopkins University, Our World In Data, and Worldometers. As of uploading this (July 4th, 2020) it is likely updated and slightly different from what is portrayed here. There are likely many more cases that are unconfirmed and there are discrepancies and changes since between countries, organisations, and studies. Sadly there are also likely more deaths than documented, particularly in countries that have less reliable reporting methods or are suppressing the data.

every one of those people had a life as complex and meaningful as yours
Normally these sorts of "Count your blessings" - type of comments get right up my nose, whether they're coming from religious types or "SJW" types. (Maybe I'm just that shallow!) I've gotta say though, in fairness, for whatever reason, your comment resonated with me. Food for thought, indeed.
What if the person seeing this has died already?
And only a tiny fraction actually died of COVID.
Most of them were old, so I doubt that.
I don't think so
Wow, it has really passed 2 years. It feels like just yesterday. What a chaotic time to live in
3 year my guy you got some brainfog ig
@@ashya.pashya nahhh 💀💀💀
Fr time moves fast
Almost 3
my bois it almost 4 years since covid started rn
The musical tones makes it even more ominous..as it really is
Much of my family and I had tested positve for Covid 19 around July 2020. I had fever and chills, dry cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste and smell, and fatigue and this went on for 2 weeks.
2 of my Grandparents got severely ill from it after developing pnuemonia and my Grandpa unfortunately died after 2 weeks in the hospital with that virus. It was so hard to see him on a ventilator for that amount of time unable to breath properly as his condition got worse.
For strange reasons it got recommended for me after 3-4 years
same idk why.
Same
Well, people are waking up to the massive lies that were told, including the death count inflation.
Same
Same
In 2021 I was infected with COVID, in a restaurant, I was seriously ill for 2 weeks. But 11 members of my family died, On top of that, I received a lot of discrimination and exclusion for the simple fact of being a survivor.
A time-lapse map of every nuclear explosion since 1945 : "Who are you?"
This video: "I'm you but scarier!"
This could easily have been one of those bland animated bar charts or blinking maps but the way you spaced each day and the total duration gave it such impact. That stretched time and your powerful music somehow converted the cold stats into actual deaths and families destroyed. In a sea of distracting two minute clips, this dares us to look away before the whole film ends.
Very impressive work.
The sound design in this video is excellent 👌
Thank you very much!
Powerful. This got me. Thank you for the effort of making it.
Thanks for watching!
I don't know why I am watching this video as I have anxiety and trauma, but I can say that it's a good tool to sum up the 2020 Pandemic in the Human History.
its verry educational and i feel for what you said
No need to fear - just avoid hospitalization when they send out the next depopulation attempt.
True
@@TrueChristianityWithSandra You watch a video as horrific as this and have the need to make this a conspiracy theory.
heart breaking especially when you realize this isn't even a whole year.
It’s already 4 years, wow how time has passed
It starts like a heartbeat, a heartbeat for humanity.
I hope this video reaches to billions.
That’s such a kind comment thanks so much.
You mean the view count, right?
@@CrimsonFox36yeah he does
We are so lucky to be alive
Here in Brasil we reached 60 000 deaths in July. That was less than five months since the first death on the country. Today, we have 60 000 deaths only on the state of São Paulo and thats less than one year of pandemic.
I wonder if the sources for the data in this video are telling the whole story. I distinctly remember seeing news reports about some mysterious new illness going on in China during the late months of 2019, but I guess back then people were still getting away with passing off covid deaths as pneumonia deaths so it's hard to get the actual numbers
It started late 2019, it was a military sports-event in Wuhan it was people from all around the world, in a military base in northern Sweden many got “sick” but no one died, it was soldiers in good condition that got sick, but Pandora’s box was open…..
Yeah it was known about in late 2019, I even talked to someone about it here in the USA. But January was when the oh s**t moment of realization hit
Anyone ever play this game called plague or virus simulator? Its been out for quite a few years and this is what it reminded me of. Seriously! Corona isnt a game but finding it ironic to have played a game years ago that is similar to the handling we currently have. So sad to say the least. Stay safe everyone!
Plague Inc./Plague Inc. Evolved?
"Pack your bags, kids. We're going to Botswana!"
What software did you use to create this?
Adobe After Effects for visuals and Logic Pro for audio
After all this time, the world still hasn't held China accountable for this worldwide catastrophically.
hello:) i'm high school student in Korea, actually i want to use part of your video for our school UCC competition and can i use it..?plz
Fantastic work
Thank you
this is the scariest video ever
Pfft, try one for the Spanish Flu.
Amazing work, but this is probably the most sinister song ever made.
someone stole your video and posted it on tiktok :/
don't know if there's anything you can do about it but it just pissed me off to see someone's work get stolen like that, so i wanted to let you know.
also, those were some absolutely stunning visuals and sound design. i'll definitely be checking out your other content too!
Could you link it to me please?
@@Jamesbeckwith1 not sure im able to, ive been trying but i think TH-cam keeps blocking it. if you google your video title it should show up.
@@Jamesbeckwith1 the one who posted the video is call Tornado Potato
You should do a time lapse of this up to today.
It's already 4 years. Wow. Time really passes by so quickly
Wow. Chilling. A serious wake up call to us all to wear a fucking mask!
This comment didn't age well.
@@tinman3586nah the govs have just gotten better at covering up the pandemic.
And theres a new virua
2:22 is when it doesn't stop at all
This video was based in the Nuclear Explosion Timelapse between 1945-98. This video took 7:30 to reach 226,000 deaths. That video took 1:08 to reach that.
There should be a longer one for 2020-2024.
20 seconds in with only 1 death but 10 mins in is just insane
Australia looks like a nice place to be in this time you know
Nah. Greeenland
@@childreninmybasement1Nah. North Korea
Hi sir, could I use your video for broadcasting (program television- non commercial)
How on earth did you get daily information?
Good God Europe got absolutely ravaged by this thing
Well I mean it is a fairly small continent, with a very high population
That honestly shocked me. I thought they would’ve done more to prevent the spread.
It only looks like it on this map but it goes by country. U.S got the worst of it
2022 be looking at these figures and think
pathetic
Covid-19 Deaths as of 8/8/2022 - 6,437,085
Rest in Peace :(
Dude Italy is on fire bro
It's a country full of old people, what do you expect?
This would be SO MUCH more informative if the deaths were smaller dots scattered randomly around their respective country, and distributed equally over the day in question, instead of every death being in the geometric midpoint of the country and every death occurring almost immediately at the start of the day. Now 10 deaths looks exactly the same as 100 deaths, just a solid red circle that conveys no real information. It's a cool concept but I'm sad about the missed potential!
I mean, it’s a not a data map it’s an art piece. Plenty of those others around. There’s no easy centralised place to find provincial data round the world for every country. Might take a few years to break down every country with their unique reporting methods and piece it together. And when your done all the data will be different. Good luck though!
@@Jamesbeckwith1 yeah I mean, putting everything in the geographic center is just as wrong as putting them in random spots. I wasn't suggesting it should be totally accurate, just would be visually better looking!
@@Jamesbeckwith1great video man. It is very well done.. thanks
It's interesting to see that in the U.S. the virus initially spred in the Midwest, and not in N.Y.C., which is the most populated?
It's only the graphics of this video, not showing regions of the US. Was looking for the "patient zero" who was actually near my home in suburban Seattle WA
This was a scary time to live in for me the video makes it maybe a little more scary 👍 work!
4 and half years later.. and its still happening. Absolutely tragic
Update: Brazil has now over 80K deaths.
Tremendous work!
Honestly, it makes some good ass music
I’m grateful it wasn’t as bad in Australia (my country) and NZ (my father’s country), but damn do I feel for the nations that got hit hard.
I’m surprised the US and EU got that bad, and why is China not as infected as the year progressed?
Did they stop reporting deaths?
Sending love to everyone. ❤
Little bit of not reporting, little bit of no one allowed outside at all under almost any circumstance. Meanwhile the us was barely following quarantine.
China locked their citizens down, the usa coups barely get their citizens to wear a mask without protests
In May 2020 it starts looking like raindrop impacts
Double that now 10/5
I bet China should have the largest circle
I’m guessing they stopped reporting their covid related cases.
@@kaydenka1Have you seen the news? China continues to build a large number of hospitals, just to allow all patients to recover, and every day to report virus-related information, as well as the number of deaths, from the beginning of the virus until now, has not stopped, China so far only more than 120,000 deaths, because the Chinese people are united, life is the first
Groenlandia, New Guinea & Papua and Mongolia no has COVID. I say this because never got a red point.
This is genuinely scary💀
And to think that it was four years ago that we were all locked up
6:04 Jeeze 😮😮😮, even the Coronavirus is taking a beating out of the UK, they were scary times 😢😢
its been almost four years since this and it is still going and theyve all done nothing. may the people who continue to ignore this rot in hell
Look at the scattering of the pandemic. This is Jetstream route !
Have is there an update to this?
QUE VÍDEO!!!!
2020 was a bad year 😢
Definitely 👍, man 2020 was the year the world who expected to have a horrible impact on the Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Pandemic Outbreak, 😢 and it was scary times though 😢
Yes freak covid 19
Music by hans zimmer?
Sick beat....
It's so scary after all
North America , Europe : HELP ME IM DIE TOO MUCH!!!!
europe: *eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
4:57
AMERICA AND EUROPE : 💀💀💀
The fact that rich countries will do better in plagues beacuse if better healthcare really changed
Can i have one from the normal flu ??
who else heard RUSH E? in the first days in china?
miss the times
Make one with every person that farted in the last decade. You will notice a dramatic increase
🤣🤣🤣🤣😭
waking up from my nightmare and the phones ringing
I know you spent a lot of time on this but where update?
why did the count stop? Why didn't it continue through all the years the pandemic happened??? Is it because the pattern of incompetence pattern became more obvious?
Erm no, I stopped because this project took two months of work and once lockdown ended things got back to normal and I had considerably less time!
@@Jamesbeckwith1 Ah my apologies, I was not aware this was a self made project, due to the polished and professional presentation I'd convinced myself this had been made by some official government department. I appreciate the work you put into it.
@@Jamesbeckwith1except things are certainly not normal. Healthcare systems are warzones now a days. The govs have just gotten better at covering up the true scale of this situation and most people fell for it.
This is amazing. Wow. Would you be able to make one of just the USA?
Great idea, nothing is to scale. Looking at Canada vs USA 06/30 Canada had 25 deaths......
I can assure you everything is to scale - I tediously went through it all twice (with a few artistic licences). On 30/06 the USA had 1277 - hence the giant blip at the end from the USA and Canada had 22 - hence the small blip. The blips start tiny and take a few seconds to grow.
28 days later anyone
Death by avant-garde minimal technology more like it.
Why is the US disproportionately effected, despite being so far away from the origin?
Strange date at start ..!!!
Should start around August 17.
It starts at the first death bruh
Death data was way to politicized to be accurate. Good video though, ... very entertaining.
Greenland: lets go
This is clearly inspired by the map showing nuclear explosions
correct
The creator cites that video in the credits.
This almost sounds like an old minecraft song...
R.I.P😢
Iraq death is 1943 👀
1943???
(Joke)
China was using wall-hacks i swear
My grandmother Die in October of 2020...
For Coronavirus
I'm moving to Iceland...
If you move to Iceland unfortunately Coronavirus will still get the country infected 😪 so no matter where you go mate, from UK, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Africa, USA, Brazil, Unfortunately Coronavirus is everywhere in the entire world 🌎 😕
Average deadmau5 song:
Update please
Some of the circles are red, some blue - what does that signify?
The edges of the circles are blue so it’s a higher concentration of blips so more deaths.
12:31
Bro what is this country
In some way I find this cool
1:40, Something is in china
Any chance that you would take the time to do one just for the USA? Thank you.
For some reason this came out of my organizational TH-cam page, but it's from me personally--Lori
I’ve been thinking about this - and I probably will yes. It will be all 50 states so may take a little while!
This is holy work you are doing. Thank you!
👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
lies this is not ALL deaths
it only goes up to july 2020 lol
Some weak virus killing elderly people, not even a dangerous pandemic, only a big pandemic but mostly not deadly.
You know the virus is bad here in America when countries in Africa are doing better in terms of deaths. Thanks for making this. Also what is that flag above Angola's that has 13 deaths?
That's the Diamond Princess cruise ship - the flag is the Carnival Cruise Lines
Because more people travel to America than Africa.
Africa isn’t as densely populated and also the sun killed the virus fairly well
Sobering...
