(laughing)
(bassy background music)
- That was really, really funny.
(beep tone)
(clapping and whistling music)
(beep tone)
TikTok videos are all the rage right now.
What are they?
They are these funny, quirky,
emotional videos that people are putting out there.
Today, we're gonna take a look at some COVID TikTok videos
and see what's going on out in the TikTok world.
Ready? Let's take a look.
checking out my first TikTok video.
- Yo, what's up guys?
So I've had COVID the last five days and
- Oh, Jeese.
I haven't been able to taste.
- Oh no.
- So today we're going to make some cereal.
So we got our fruit loops.
(cereal tumbling)
And... vodka.
- Ohhhh, bad idea
- So here we go.
- Nooo
(dishes clattering)
(vodka slushing)
- Let's see how this taste.
- What the...
(cereal crunching)
- I wouldn't do that.
Oh my gosh, this kid
One, he doesn't have taste or smell anymore.
So that's anosmia which happens with COVID right?
People have heard about this everywhere.
And the minute you basically lose your sense
of smell or taste, you probably have COVID.
But this kid didn't use fruit loops,
he used Cheerios and he put vodka in it.
That's a bad idea, bad combination.
He won't be able to taste it.
So you're just going to keep chugging
along the vodka and then you're going to get intoxicated
and bad things can happen.
Don't advise this, that wasn't that funny
but it's a good teaching point.
And I don't advise drinking alcohol
when your immune system is compromised,
you need as much strength and energy
as rest as possible to maximize your immune
system's fighting against the COVID-19.
All right, let's check out number two.
- So it is currently December
(thrashing cloth)
and the pandemic has gotten on my last nerve.
- Ohhhh
- So I bought a Coronavirus vaccine
off of wish.com
- No
- for only $20,000.
(mouse clicks)
And I had to wait two months for it to come
(knocking on door)
but then it finally arrived
in this huge crate that I could barely lift up the stairs.
But I opened up the box and I pulled vial out.
(Doctor laughs)
I wasn't sure how to take it
but I wasn't going to use a needle
because I'm needle-a-phobic.
(mock screaming)
So I put some of it in my juice bottle
and I drank it and I was feeling pretty okay.
And I went to go test it out by licking as
many public surfaces as I could for an hour straight
(doctor chuckles)
then as I was walking home
I started to feel a little dizzy.
When I finally got home
I double-checked the packaging only to
realize they had sent me a vile of Obama bath water.
And there was no vaccine.
- Oh my gosh.
I took the vial and flushed it down the toilet,
but then I remembered, Oh you can't flush
glass down the toilet.
And then I heard a bang
(dramatic explosion)
and I ran outside to go see what it was.
And all the pipes had exploded
on my street and there was doo doo water everywhere.
And I had caused a disaster.
But the one good thing was,
I saw Remy the Ratatouille
floating on a piece of cheese.
And I said, "Hi, Remy."
As he sailed off into the drain.
- Okay, this kid is quite entertaining
but a little ridiculous.
First off, unfortunately
you cannot buy the COVID-19 vaccine
via the internet right now.
And then he said he bought it two months ago
which the vaccine hasn't been out yet for two
months for the public.
And he tried to drink it.
You cannot drink it.
It needs to be injected intramuscular.
So your body and your cells can respond to it.
Then he tested his fate by going outside and
licking everything, which is again a bad idea.
One, COVID is a respiratory virus,
so you typically need to inhale it
via your nose or your mouth.
Typically not via licking anything
but that's not proven yet, but likely not going to happen.
And then he flushes a glass vial down the toilet
which then explodes the septic system
leading to fecal material or poop all over the place.
The fact that it he was able to figure that out
and do that, is pretty crazy and gnarly,
but that's disgusting.
And please be careful
No buying fake coronavirus COVID-19 vaccine off the
internet, Okay?
- We don't have the vibrational frequency to host that virus
(Doctor laughs)
- and I taught her that.
- So if you don't have that
vibrational frequency right here,
you're not going to get it.
- Yeah
- Oh my gosh
- We don't have the vibrational frequency to get COVID?
- Correct
- Do you know that everything in this universe vibrates?
- Oh my goodness
and is alive, there is life with that.
That's what I'm talking about.
- I don't put life into COVID.
I'm not going to wear a mask.
- I'm not going to wear a mask either.
- I never wear a mask, ever.
- Oh my goodness.
Okay. A little bit to dissect with this video.
So I understand where this lady is coming
from and stating that everything has vibration.
Everything in the universe has vibration.
In humans our cells all the way down
to the atoms there's movement and vibration going on.
But to say that she is 100% protected from COVID-19 due
to her vibrations, is a little bit absurd.
Because how is she being able to monitor
her vibration levels, and know if
the vibrations are affecting viruses
on a level that would protect her?
I don't understand where she's coming from with this.
She is stating things that are partly true
but we have no evidence to know if it works or not.
All I know is I see COVID-19 every single day
in the emergency departments.
And yet the universe is still vibrant.
Also she's not wearing a mask
and the other individual is not wearing a mask.
And they're adamant that they're not going to wear a mask.
Please, continue to wear a mask.
It's one of the easiest things we can do
to help our neighbors, as well as our community
to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
It has been proven to reduce the amount
of virus that you're shedding.
Okay. TikTok number four.
- New York city really said, "outdoor dining?
Nah, indoor dining but put it outside."
Let's build an entire new restaurant outside
and call it outdoor dining.
That is not... what is that?
- Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Okay.
New York City attempting to make outdoor dining a thing.
Outdoor dining needs to have freedom of mayor of movements.
So things can flow easily.
They're just building further expansion
of the restaurant outside that's enclosed.
I understand for the weather it's cold in Northeast
but this is inappropriate
when it comes to trying to reduce spread
at a restaurant for outdoor dining.
It needs to be maybe a canopy over top
to protect any bad weather
but it needs to be airflow through.
So I even have family who live in New York
and they told me how absurd it is to go to a restaurant
and it's enclosed.
They won't go to those restaurants currently
while the pandemic is still going on.
So go to the restaurants, get out there
support your local restaurants.
But if it's in a locked
enclosed space with minimal air flow
that's equivalent to still being inside of a restaurant.
Alright, we got TikTok number five here.
Check this out.
- I'm testing again today.
A week ago my boyfriend came down with Corona
and we are quarantining together assuming that I had it.
But despite literally being stuck in a room together
I keep testing negative.
So then I got an antibodies test
but that was negative as well.
So I did what any 22 year old would do.
I got confused and I asked Instagram.
There's a lot of great theories as to why
I'm testing negative
but we have no clue.
(sharp snap)
I don't know what to do
because I'm not testing positive.
Is it smart to keep staying in the same room?
So we called the health department
and they said to stop quarantining together.
Obviously I'm going to keep quarantining
it's causing me a lot of anxiety.
I don't know why I'm not testing positive
not that I want to, but it just like,
doesn't make sense.
Has anyone else had this experience?
- All right.
So this is super frustrating for this young girl.
She is negative, negative, negative, negative
staying with somebody who's positive.
She's asymptomatic.
So the question is, what do you do?
She's very stressed out.
But what do you do?
Typically, You've been exposed
to somebody who has coronavirus,
it's a 14 day quarantine.
Sometimes the government says you can quarantine
for seven days, have a coronavirus test,
If you're negative, you can get
off quarantine. Or you can go 10 days
with no tests and then get off quarantine.
The question ends up being is why is she negative?
There could be a million reasons why, and I've even heard it
with my own friends, where an individual got sick
and the spouse never got sick.
All right, TikTok number six.
(doctor laughs)
(upbeat music)
(doctor chuckles)
All right.
This is good TikTok.
It was a little slow, but it was good.
So basically it's showing that so much unknown
of the virus at the beginning surface transmission
how long it lasts on that surface, copper
versus cardboard versus different metals.
We had no idea.
But now we understand that there is probably
a minimal risk to contact transmission of this virus.
But Hey, I did the same thing.
We were wiping down everything and being super crazy careful
with groceries coming into our house.
Obviously we're not to that extent that we were before
but we still make sure it's clean, appropriate
wear a mask when we're going to the grocery store.
You know, when we get deliveries to the house
wear a mask, but yes, wash your hands,
keep your house clean as best as possible.
But the biggest thing is this is a respiratory virus.
So we need to be aware that things are floating around
in the air, that we can breathe
versus touching it and putting it on her face.
So maybe you don't need the hazmat suit
and that pressure washer anymore.
Maybe just a little bit of wiping down
some things can probably do the job.
All right, TikTok number seven.
- You're not going to believe what they hide
inside our face masks
(scissors slam on table)
- What, huh?
(upbeat background music)
(laughs heartily)
That was really, really funny.
I wasn't ready for that.
Oh my gosh.
I was waiting for like some weird chemicals,
some weird implant,
some weird 5G micro chip.
No, a very funny dog face.
That was very good.
Good job whoever made that.
All right, here we go.
TikTok video number eight.
And it looks a little long.
- Excuse me do you have 10 people in there?
I'm coming in, only nine?
Okay. Have a good day.
She just walked in the restaurant with a mask.
(light stomping)
Dang it, she made it to his table.
Four, five, six, seven, shoot.
So your friend has COVID?
were you around her recently?
Yes. Do you both wear masks?
Dang it.
Did you stay six feet apart?
only two? Okay, see you in a second.
(slams book shut)
Wow, it was only for 14 minutes.
See ya.
This looks like a holiday gathering.
You two are sitting awfully close.
(unwinds tape measure)
- Oh my gosh.
- Five feet, eleven inches.
You're safe I guess.
(laughs)
(klaxon sounds)
It's 2:00 PM time to go to the bars.
- Oh my gosh.
Okay. Michelle, good job.
Very funny, she's the Rona police.
She's basically checking to see
if you have more than 10 people gathering.
You're six feet distancing and then, Oh my gosh.
The 10:00 PM curfew.
I don't understand what that was about back when
we've had that, does the virus stop after 10:00 PM?
I understand why they did it.
They didn't want people gathering
at restaurants and bars, that sort of thing.
And people might've drank alcohol and or lower inhibitions
you know, speak loud and all that stuff.
But very funny video, make sure you do physically distance
six feet and the gatherings do your best to keep it minimal
to the people that are in your normal bubble.
And if you do gather with other people
be outside as best you can.
The point of being six feet distance
from another person is just in case they cough
or sneeze or yell, any particles that are flying out
you're far enough away that you potentially
won't get the majority of that spray.
Okay? Because the virus is in droplets
and it's potentially can aerosolize if it's still
in an enclosed room and basically less people
minimizes how many people will be sharing that same air
and producing any droplets that you will also breathe.
TikTok video number nine.
All right, here we go.
- Tips from the ER, we don't know what's wrong.
That's right after all the poking, prodding, touching
and undressing, your scans, your blood work
and your labs came back.
And we can finally tell you
that we have not one mother- clue why you are in pain.
Sometimes all you needed was a day
off, ibuprofen, rest and a better diet.
If something hurts to move, stop moving it.
Anyways, thanks for coming to see us.
That'd be $2,000.
- Oh my goodness.
Oh my goodness.
Okay. I don't know who this guy is
but I need to break this down a little bit, okay.
If you don't feel well
or you feel like something's wrong
please go to the emergency departments.
We will make sure you do not have any emergency
or a life-threatening event that needs immediate action.
So yes, we will do imaging.
We will do blood work.
We will get you medications.
But a lot of the times we don't find the exact answer
but that is an answer in itself because we've ruled
out all of the top things that will kill you
or that are immediate treatment needed such
as like surgeries or antibiotics
or being admitted to the hospital.
So it is very important to get checked out.
So this gentlemen, who's saying you wasted all your time.
That's not true.
It's very important to get checked out.
If you need to.
Now, he did say that if something hurts, stop moving it.
I agree with that one point and one point only.
So again, if you don't feel well, get checked
out by a healthcare provider and if you need to come
to the emergency department, our doors are always open.
And this guy doesn't seem to be a doctor to me.
No emergency medicine, physician or doctor
that I know would speak this way.
We always want to make sure that everybody's safe and well
and we'll make sure and rule
out anything that is worrisome to you.
And we'll make sure that you are safe
and that no life-threatening event is going on.
That way you can follow up with your doctor.
All right.
Number 10, last one.
- Thank you Pfizer for sending me the COVID-19
vaccine early to share with my followers.
Wow. Look at that packaging. It's so pretty.
Oh my God. Look at the mint green.
This is vaccine goals.
(Pop music plays)
(laughs)
- Okay. First off the Pfizer vaccine, right?
It needs to be at like negative 70 degrees.
So it needs to be on dry ice.
So it wouldn't ship that way
and it doesn't come in a syringe.
It comes in a vial that you have to draw
out because there's about five doses or so
and it's comes frozen.
So it's not a liquid like that.
And that's definitely a different product of something else.
But his reaction is hilarious.
And if you do need a vaccine
hopefully you'll be able to get one soon.
Okay. There's a lot of controversy out there
about getting it, but I know a lot
of people want it and soon everybody that wants it
will be able to get a vaccine for COVID-19.
I hope in the future, it comes
with sparkles and you get it delivered to your house.
All right. That was hilarious.
Okay. All those were really funny, very entertaining.
And you know, it's TikTok.
So this isn't where you get typically
your medical information.
This is where you're going to go to be entertained
and laugh at what different people will put up there.
If you're looking for medical information
please don't go to TikTok,
check out the CDC website, the World Health Organization
and check out my YouTube channel,
as I am a board certified emergency medicine physician
and I deal with COVID every day.
There are a lot of physicians out there that are
doing very similar things with blogs, videos.
All right, that's been a TikTok video
funny breakdown with me, Dr. Wagner,
if you have any questions or you've seen funny
TikTok videos, please send them my way
or comment in the comments section below.
And as always, please make sure that you subscribe
and turn your bell notifications on.
That way I can continue to make more videos like this
and that YouTube will send you more videos
like mine so you can share more and more.
Thank you so much for watching.
Stay healthy my friends.
