Quarantined Italian bloggers are allegedly recording messages to their past selves, to warn them about the reality of the recent coronavirus pandemic.
The Milan-based group A Thing By, has recently masterminded the video project, which sees vloggers recording messages to their past selves to discuss how COVID-19 is affecting them.
Have a look at some of the recordings in the video below:The video begins with the quote: "I’m speaking to you from the future. I know you’re busy but wait a second. I wanted to update on Italy’s latest: a huge mess is about to happen. I’m sure you’ve heard about coronavirus. And I’m also pretty sure you’re underestimating it. I even used to make fun of people wearing masks."
Commenting on the project in an interview with Insider, creator Olmo Parenti stated: "We found ourselves being stuck at home and figured that we had to do something at a time like this, so we tried to come up with an idea that we could do from home. What we’re most excited about is that it seems like people are starting to take it seriously now that they saw the video, so it’s good to know we had an impact."
Take a look at this time-lapse video showing the reduction in pollution caused by the coronavirus:Last week the World Health Organization granted the coronavirus pandemic status, writing in a statement: "WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction. We have therefore made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic."
The statement continued: "Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly. It is a word that, if misused, can cause unreasonable fear, or unjustified acceptance that the fight is over, leading to unnecessary suffering and death."
At the time of writing, there have now been 190,394 confirmed cases of COVID-19 across 114 countries worldwide, and a total of 7,257 deaths.
