    THIS CLIP
    The Corona Virus outbreak (Covid-19) has resulted in the cancellation of public gatherings. This also cancels the jobs of millions of freelance musicians around the world - people who already don't get paid holidays, sick pay, company pensions, or any other kind of benefit. It's a disaster and has left creative people with no income and little prospect of it for many months, possibly years - there will be no easy resumption after Corona Virus.
    CORONAVIRUS IS NOT FUNNY?
    If, when watching this video, you see a man laughing at people who are suffering or dying, you need to look again. This video was made by a freelance performer who has lost all his work. No work means no income and uncertainty about your future. This is how it is now for many other creatives, a lot of whom are less fortunate than Rainer - you don't have to be ill to be a victim of Coronavirus.
    "If you knew anyone that had suffered, you wouldn't make this video". Rainer Hersch lives in London UK, which has seen a 'tsunami' of cases, including among his close friends and colleagues, and he is in the 'at risk' group, as the result of a long-term medical condition. But rather than being, he chooses to actually conduct the forces of his destruction.
    "Yes, but people have died". Every death is a tragedy. On 1st July 1916, during the First World War, 26,000 people died on the first day of the Somme but that didn't stop the soldiers in the trenches using black humour to deal with it www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainm.... Comedy doesn't just check-out when death is involved. Still "JUST NOT FUNNY"? Sorry if this has offended you but not everyone thinks the same as the comments and 'likes' for this video show.

    Musical satire is one of my favorite genres and I applaud Rainer Hirsch's brave and witty little ditty in protest of the harm that the Covid-19 has brought to the performance arts so early in the pandemic. As a fellow artist, I would love to see and hear where Rainer's head is at now that the disease has impacted the world so hard and isn't abating.

      @g.cosper8306 4 роки тому +3

      There was an article from ONE source that said the virus was making Ibuprofen ineffective so use an alternative. It was false research but Paracetamol was the prefered alternative. Result? Panic buying.

    • @destineeotory2257
      @destineeotory2257 4 роки тому +9

      @@g.cosper8306 you shouldn't take ibuprofen because it works as an immunosuppressor. It's making your immune system less efficient. That's how it makes the fever go down. But then the virus (not just Corona but other too) can easily infect your body and you will fall sick. Even sicker than if you haven't. Paracetamol on the other hand makes fever go down in a other way.
      Conclusion: use paracetamol
