A huge thanks to the experts who helped us on short notice with the video. Especially “Our World in Data”, 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.
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: https://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 https://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.
Ok. We are very tired and are going to take a nap now. Stay healthy!
Please tell me that governments are going to pay to distribute this video.)
excelent job. thank you!
respect 100
Nicely done
Great job.! Probably the best Covid-19 video out there…
GUYS GUYS can we apreciate how fast they got this video out? Like holy cow, theres no way that they started this a reasonable time ago being how fast everything started up getting bad.
should be something less than a month, right?
Noah R. Lmao i noticed that too
0:28
Ahhh, the fresh smell of restocked toilet paper
Ni Wo? You me?
LOL i noticed it just now. XD
HAHAHHAHA I didn’t even notice!
@benni boy8 no, I ate cornflakes and milk
an easter egg if i must say
I think it’s cool how some of the birds had bags under their eyes, just goes to show how much time and effort they put in to get this video out as quickly as possible to inform us. You guys definitely deserve a break lol, thanks for looking out for us.
That was a nice touch, it’s clear they worked very hard on this. Thanks, Kurzgesagt 💜
Yea, in your video about making videos, y’all said it takes about 1200 hours to make a single video. That’s crazy, so props to you guys for making this video in such short notice.
Thank you for this ❤
6:30 *THIS MANS JUST CREATED A BIRD BY WASHING HIS HANDS*
cozy bird
That’s why we should all wash our hands, so we can have fluffi birb buddies to keep company during the outbreak.
That’s the message I took from this, and that’s the message I accept
Corona virus is mutating 😨
*_”Soap is actually a powerful tool”_*
FRATHER
“Quarantine is not a fun experience”
*laughs in introvertic*
Gamers: *laughs in xbox gamepass*
Quarantine is awesome.
*laughs in musician*
coronavirus: the pandemic that made people realize the power of washing hands, and when sh*tty health systems were exposed
Coronavirus: The pandemic that made people realize that exotic meat eating is a disgusting act.
@Lionhearte Kinda a strange hill to battle on. Its understandable that a pandemic could threaten to break the healthcare capacity, but that isn’t what he’s saying at all. He’s talking about how the virus exposed how woefully unprepared we were for such an event. The US healthcare gives us about 2.8 hospital beds for every 1,000 person. Italy has 3.2. Hospitals are having to use reserve masks dedicated for nuclear war or bio-terrorism. You are right, it’s the government’s fault for allowing such a poor healthcare ‘system’ to exist. There are 25 million uninsured people under 60. It costs about 200 dollars to be checked for COVID 19 (The kits do not cost 200 – this is for the overall check up)
Toilet Paper, the bitcoin of the future!
we might be washing hands and practising proper hygiene more often now, but as soon as this is all over, humans will go back into their old habits
@Lionhearte
Cant speak for the world in general but i suspect many countries have failed completely in having reserves in case of emergencies like Norway.
Its really embarresing how they are now asking private citizens and companies if they happen to have masks and protective gear availible to give our health care workers. These things cost very little and can be stored for decades but the government have over decades been ignoring any actual preparedness and reserves that we should have now.
Top that with decades of underfunding and understaffing/underpaying health care workers and we now see that there is almost no reserve capacity availible in a crisis.
Nobody expect health care systems to easily handle pandemics like this, but lots of stupid decisions and poor priorities by our politicians will now likely lead to hundreds, maybe thousands more people dying.
“Quarantine is not a fun experience”
Me, an introvert: *I BEG TO DIFFER*
Same i love it. Granted i get to be with my family, and if i was completely alone it would probably get boring. But im fine with not going out of the house much for a month or two.
I’ve been socially distancing for like two years
Damn you guys sure must be quirky
@Benjamin Schröder Same. I’ve been working from home for months and I don’t even feel the quarantine
Neutrophiles: I’m gonna slaughter everything
Killer T cells: I know your my friend, but I want you to kill yourself
Tough conversation xD
I love it when Kurzgesagt animate, its much more entertaining and it makes me more interested in a topic. That’s why I’ve been waiting for this. You have changed my life alot Kurzgesagt.
7:39 My house got quarantined recently.
I was pretty bummed out about it.
But I think whoever issued the quarantine is more _healthy_ than I am sick in quarantine.
The total healthiness of the world increased.
So, whatever.
Healthcuck
Underapreciated comment
same here, 2 weeks in quarantine. it sucks but a little time in isolation is actually the best thing
Hello everyone across the internet! Much love to anyone who is reading this. Times are scary. We can get through it if we work together. Be kind to each other. We can do this!
Covid-19: “Execute Order 66”
Random cell: “Yes, my Lord”
Code Geas is decent at best. I really wouldn’t put it up there in my personal list.
“not one step back, even if it costs your own life!”
Mine would be Attack on Titan

Lord Royal 22 NGNL is so good man have you seen the movie?
There’s like 2 parts to steins gate, once you get past episode 12 it becomes too good
We need to translate this in as many languages as possible.
Needs to be shared across the world as a top priority
There still many languages missing. My gf volunteers to translate it to Albanian
@Marc Juarez përshëndetje
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
“It’s a shame they all died like this” “But look at how clean there asses are”
Oh please, as if wiping your butt with toilet paper is an efficient way of cleaning it. Newsflash America, bidets are a thing now, it’s not the 19th century anymore.
First Blast
Thank-you
@PlaguedHuman you had to do utf 8 and not ascii
@ship another ship 116 104 101 32 102 117 99 107 32 121 111 117 32 115 97 121 32 116 111 32 109 101
First Blast ikr , i can never use toilet paper alone unless if there was no water to start with, no bidet ? Then just put some water on the TP which is more efficient in worse case scenarios.
Quarantine: exists
Introverts: I’ll take your entire stock
@Rodrigob94 The joke is about quarantine not buying stuff in the supermarket…?
Stop it! First toilet paper and now quarantine?
I had always gone back & forth over whether I think I’m an introvert.
now, living under a shelter in place order, it’s very clear I am not. 🙁
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ r/wooooosh
I feel *attacked*
Me: 2020 is my time to socialize more!
Coronavirus: Well, yes, but actually no
Coronavirus exits.
Me who is suffering from ulcerative colitis and sinus infection for the past 3 years : This is the endgame now.
I hope you’ll make it through this, mate. Stay safe!
Look after yourself buddy
Stay safe mate
Are you at higher risk because of UC? My husband just had an EGD done today and while we have to wait 1-2 weeks to hear back on the biopsies and the doctor, the report that was given to us seems to suggest that he might have UC :/
“Wash your hands as if you’ve just cut up some jalapenos and want to put in your contacts next.”
I’ve never heard such threatening yet convincing instructions on how to wash my hands until now.
*gets notification*
Me: “finally, a trustworthy and reliable source”
(I truly appreciate the work you people do for us. Thank you.)
