COVID-19 Video: In 60 Seconds, with Explanation and Thoughts

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

This is a edited video, with a few paragraphs elaborating on it and my personal thoughts.

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

While I enjoyed quarantine, the effect it's having on the economy is quite substantial, and it's important to understand a timeline of this virus spreading through and affecting our world so we can understand just how much of an impact one virus can have. While I don't touch on numbers in the video, it's mainly to give an idea from the average person's point of view. The craziest thing is that it's only one of the millions of viruses that exist in wildlife, and this could happen so many times over, if people still keep up their idiotic behavior towards wildlife.
