It’s so surreal coming back and watching these

[azazzelx]

As someone had said: " Don't be anxious, but keep alert."

[justinhadley]

Ah I remember those naive carefree times pre-March 2020, when popping over to friends house to catch up or going over to a family dinner or gathering together in a park to watch a gig or two was a thing we did as a civilization. May this video be kept for future posterity and showed to future generations as a time capsule piece.

"You have probably heard about this virus by now"

"There is no need to panic"

Ah, more innocent times.

“Outbreak of really bad pinkeye in Mexico in 2003.”

*Excuse me what*

Revisiting after 3 weeks.
We should definitely be worried.

[VincentKraven]

So wild coming back to this two years later....

[dashamm]

"4, 500 cases"














130, 000, 000 cases and 2, 800, 000 deaths later...

Hank: The Corona Virus is nothing to panic about.
Me: [Pauses in middle of a muppet style panic scene...]

[MalfunctonMke]

The Year of the Rat starts off with a Plague... how ironic.

[HTXman]

When someone says 'DONT PANIC' in all caps...

[robb]

watching this almost a year later and this aged incredibly well

[Zeytrixx]

In all seriousness, no memes this time, I feel really bad for the people that have been infected by this virus and hope they are able to recover from it.

[davidagnew]

As someone who is currently living in China (Beijing, China) as this happens I feel like this is pretty accurate information (maybe numbers are not 100% accurate as they had to write a script for this) but this is the same information as what we have heard already and im genuinely glad that the science channel I follow has covered this, I am glad this has been covered in laymans terms so that people here and around the world actually understand what is going on!

[tomhickman]

Who else is watching this after a full year of pain

[xEmmy]

And from 2021:

Oh yeah y'all shoulda panicked when you had the chance.

[fynqnfq]

General media:don't panic
Lies
Sci show:don't panic
I won't, thanks sci show!

4500 cases when recorded, over 11000 cases when video airs 🤔
