before the coronavirus will be declared a public health emergency of
international concern and would spread from China to over 100 countries
including Italy Australia the United Kingdom in the United States before the
corona virus would stop international travel and close down historic events
including Coachella III suspension of the NBA production of TV shows including
Riverdale Survivor The Amazing Race and March Madness it would go on without any
fans in attendance die your body will sense this and start to trigger an
immune response and both of these things are what will create these symptoms that
you begin to feel in the case of the corona virus these symptoms include
headaches runny nose coughing sore throat and fever before youtubers would
make various videos on the topic including ASAP science Philip DeFranco
Logan Paul and celebrities would be diagnosed including NBA star Rudy Gobert
and Hollywood legend Tom Hanks now in this video I'll give you a quick update
on this deadly disease and its spread then we'll get into more of how this is
played out and affected the world of entertainment also your favorite
youtubers and influencers known a surprising turn of events Corona beer
sales they're actually up 5% also films like contagion will they have
skyrocketed on streaming services but I got to point out that this is no
laughing matter and people are losing their loved ones in the thousands now I
remember when SARS broke out back in 2012 and my girlfriend at the time she
was actually put on quarantine
now SARS was very much a big deal but the chrono virus has already spread
further and faster now the time of this recording there is no vaccine so please
wash your hands cover your mouth when you cough and that stay away from people
who are ill also if you're feeling a little woozy yourself you probably
should stay away from school or work we're actually looking a little slim
here at the office well now I mean just the staff what's going on guys it's boy
Michael mcreddin documenting the outbreak and the spread of the corona
virus prior to becoming a global pandemic here for you of course um
before they are famous now if you're new to this channel be sure to subscribe and
now let's get into the video at the end of December 2019 public health officials
from China they informed the World Health Organization that they need a big
problem an unknown new virus causing pneumonia like illnesses in the city of
Wuhan know some of those initially infected they had worked at the Hunan
seafood wholesale market cNN has obtained this video filmed inside the
market showing that more than seafood was on offer for sale images at the
market from early December taken by a concerned customer indicate it was
apparently selling other live wild animals including skinned birds snakes
and raccoon dogs sparking concern that the virus might have been transmitted
from animals to humans cNN has not independently verified this footage
posted on Chinese social media site Weibo a 61 year old band was the first
person to die from the virus but there are conflicting reports Oh some state
that this guy was a regular shopper at the Hunan wet market while other Chinese
scientists they say otherwise that the first victim he actually had no
connection with the market at all still over 20 people who have been diagnosed
well they were all somehow connected to the market so this is widely believed to
be the birthplace of this pandemic now wet markets they put people in live and
dead animals and close contact no vendors there they sell seafood meat and
live animals this includes chickens donkeys sheep pigs foxes badgers bamboo
rats hedgehogs snakes and bats no vendors they often slaughter animals in
front of customers now the genetic sequences of the new virus is 96%
identical to one coronavirus which is found in bats
now both SARS and MERS they originated in bats so a lot of people are pointing
the finger at them bats in those cages they're thinking that's where it came
from no Chinese health officials quickly reported the outbreak of the new virus
to the World Health Organization who needed to name the disease now
coronavirus is diverted from the latin word corona meaning crown or halo
because under a microscope well the group of viruses look like they have a
royal crown or solar corona an aura of plasma around the Sun you can only see
during total solar eclipse now for those of you
who think it has anything to do with the beer
well now you now know there is also a classification name known as Co vid 19
the co and the vy obviously that's for coronavirus and the D is for disease
also nineteen is the year when the disease emerged now China they took
aggressive action at the start of the outbreak shutting down transportation in
Wuhan which is home to over 11 million people now they also canceled flights
and trains in and out of the city dozens of other cities they were placed under
effective quarantine to try and slow down the spread of the virus into other
countries but it was too late now the Chinese government they even canceled
celebrations of the Lunar New Year's which for many is the only day they get
off in the entire calendar year so it's a pretty big deal when they shut down
New Year's another virus it jumps between people who are in very close
contact with one another and probably spreads when an infected person sneezes
or coughs and people can spread the virus before they know they even have it
now around 80% of confirmed cases they are mild so far the fatality rate for
the new illness is around two or three percent but that could change as the
outbreak progresses now most deaths in the outbreak they've been with older
people those with underlying health issues already now in that group the
fatality rate it's a little higher as much as fourteen percent no the virus is
moving rapidly around the world in China the number of those infected and those
who have died is much higher than other parts of the world but early clusters
they quickly began to appear in the likes of Italy Iran Japan Australia and
South Korea now at least 168 coronavirus patients they died in Italy in one
single day and that entire country well it looks like it's a lockdown no it
didn't take long for the disease to spread to the United States infecting a
conference in Boston and other hot spots throughout the US including Washington
State New Rochelle New York that entire suburb it's been placed under
containment now nearly every other state has reported at least one infection at
the time of this recording there are just under 1000 confirmed cases in the
US and just under a hundred here in Canada though there aren't any proven
treatments just yet but there are dozens of studies underway to try and find a
vaccine now development it takes a long time and
even if everything goes smoothly well it could be as much as a year or even 18
months before there's a vaccine readily available to the masses all right so now
you know about the corona virus but seeing as this is before there are
famous let's talk about how it's affected Hollywood and the world of
entertainment now at first it was a little bit of a meme and creators well
they got to work using it for content no youtubers they were having a hard time
monetizing the content anything with coronavirus in the title it was getting
demonetised and well this was YouTube making preventive steps to stop the
promotion of fear or misinformation now they've gone back on that feature I'm
not sure if this video is gonna get to monetized or not I'll let you know in
the comments down below know the name and its association with
the popular beer brand well it makes jokes all too easy
but then bars they even started offering specials also the brand while it was
quick to point out that it's actually seen an increase in sales a late-night
talk show host they got to work with everyone from Jimmy Kimmel to Jimmy
Fallon even Conan well they were making all sorts of gags about the pandemic
events in public places have on the other hand seen a massive dip in
attendance now malls they're empty people they're
staying home tourism globally it's taking a dip at
Trump he just recently announced the travel ban between the US and Europe now
even popular Hollywood stars they've tested positive including the likes of
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson now their son Chet he actually took to Instagram to
explain how they're doing what's up everyone um yeah it's true my parents
got coronavirus crazy they're both down in Australia right now because my dad
was shooting a movie down there but I just got off the phone with them they
both are fine they're not even that sick they're not worried about it they're not
tripping but they're going through the necessary health precautions obviously
but I don't think it's anything to be too worried about I appreciate
everyone's concern and the well wishes but I think it's all going to be alright
but I appreciate it and just everybody stay safe out there much love for the
time being March Madness will go on but it won't have anyone in attendance
the NBA they've suspended gameplay which is bad news for season ticket holders
but if you're a fan of the Toronto Raptors like we are here well it might
be good news we might get to hold on to the championship title just for another
year that was things progress it's hard to find someone who hasn't been affected
our hearts and prayers they go out to all those who have lost a loved one and
just the world in general a lot of people are freaking out right like
rightfully so as for the rest of the story well I think we're gonna wrap this
one up here of course this is before they're famous my name is michael
