A Day In The Life Of COVID-19
What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?
The piece of media I chose for this project is a Youtube video by a famous doctor named Dr. Mike who I have been following for quite some time due to his extremely helpful, interesting, and educational videos. The video is called “Doctor Mike Day In The Life | COVID-19”. Coincidentally, it is his latest video that he has posted on October 18, 2020 (accessed on October 20, 2020). In this video, he vlogs a day in his life working as a primary care physician at Chatham Family Medicine. He shows us aspects of how they have adapted care due to the Coronavirus in the hospital he works at in New York. This video can also provide insight into the similarities of how other hospitals are handling Covid-19.

The main reason why I chose this piece of media is that I wanted to learn more about the daily life of nurses, doctors, and other healthcare workers. With both of my parents working in a healthcare setting, with my father as a nurse and my mother as a receptionist, it is important for me to understand what my parents deal with. I find this video to be extremely useful in becoming more aware of how government facilities are adapting to the virus, the daily life of healthcare workers and it gives me an overview of what I can possibly be doing in the future as a career. One precautionary action that the government has taken is an increase in virtual contact in order to prevent physical contact. In the vlog, Doctor Mike explains his hospital’s new “virtual patient visits”. This exhibits the government’s underlying guidelines (The CDC) about preventing the spread of the virus by limiting person to person contact.
