about

The Corona Effect is a piece about the current pandemic we are all living through.

It is a journalistic piece that was assembled using various viral videos describing several opinions, symptoms, confusions, words of advice and encouraging words from various people on different continents and all walks of life.

It is a piece about the history of our history, a tribute to those who have perished and those who have survived this crisis especially the elderly and the sick who are fighting for their lives. One day this piece will serve as a historic document that covers this one event that has changed so many lives forever.

I may not be a survivor but I developed a respiratory condition that has not completely gone away. I was one of many being tested for Covit-19 and I was lucky to be negative. Thousands upon thousands of people around the world were and are not so lucky. That uncontrollable fear I felt and the stories I hear daily in the news were my motivation to create "The Corona Effect".

Hopefully, many years from now, this recording will touch the lives of those who will remember this pandemic or learn about it as something unthinkable that they believed could never happen to them. That is US. It has happened to us. Something we simply never imagined could happen. Humans from every corner of the world share something in common; we are resilient. We will endure this crisis, win this battle and life will go on.

This recording is especially dedicated to Italy, one of the countries severely devastated by this pandemic, and to those who lost their lives in the blink of an eye but most importantly to the medical personnel from around the world who risk their lives daily to ensure others will survive.

May God bless us all.

Remember, 6 feet apart!

Stay healthy, STAY STRONG.
