Everything is fine. Everything is fine. “And I spoke to Angela Merkel today. I’ve spoken to boys’ leaders for the last four or five days. They see us all as the world leader and stay with us. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait [PLAY MUSIC] Oh wow. Oh, my pass. That’s ridiculous. Oh, they have mass graves. Even third countries in the world like Senegal, where I come from, are not like that at the moment. Ugh. “Anyone who wants a check passes a check. They’re here and the checks are beautiful. “It’s a nightmare. Initially he turned down the check, twice he refused admission to the ER. An Iowa guy dies of COVID-19. This cannot be the case when a user wants to take a check and is rejected. [MUSIC PLAY] In South Korea, you can do a driving check or you can even make a stopover at the control, which looks like a phone booth, and just entered. Gerguyy, the controls are free. I think we check another 350,000 people a week. I don’t think anyone in New Zealand has been denied a check. If you had any symptoms, it was a check from Covid-19. Please make sure everything is okay. “You know what? Staying home also leads to death. Go! You have that amount of other people on the beach. I don’t forget to watch those shots and sit in Gerguyy and worry about the fall of the aggregate. It’s contagious. Come on, every frame. “Some other young people who are still converging on Florida beaches for spring break. Now, the governor of the state, what does it say? He says he probably wouldn’t close the beaches in the midst of the epidemic.” Yes, I do. I don’t think Americans know what a lockdown is. France, Gerguyy, United Kingdom – Bulgaria, Cyprus – Zimbabwe, Anpassla, Uganda – Luxembourg – Russia, Italy – Albania, Montenegro, India, Iran – Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, Nepal. Ooh, it’s okay, that’s a lot. So, in Singapore, for example, we have fines if we don’t follow the rules. Here in Jordan, he couldn’t leave his house. He couldn’t even leave, like … couldn’t even get to his neighbor’s house. You haven’t been allowed. I agree that they feel involved with the small businesses they have built during their lives. I agree with that. But you can rebuild that. You can’t bring someone back to life. “Well, I think the economy is doing very well. That’s just how I feel. Here in the UK, the passing government will pay up to 80% of the salary of others who can’t do their job. In Gerguyy, you get 5, 000 for 3 months. Singapore’s passing government subsidized 75% of all citizens’ wages. “If your adjusted gross income source is $75,000 or less consistent with the year, you’ll get a full check for $1,200 from the U.S. passing government.” Yes, it’s a one-time payment. When you have to pay rent, food, medical care, it’s not so bad. Official unemployment figures were published on 8 May. Ah, that’s a component of the chart. Oh, Jeez. I think it was like the end of the page, like a border. Yes. No way. Oh, my pass. Did I read it correctly? 20.5 million jobs? “The pandemic is also starving a lot of people. Thousands of others had to wait for hours in long queues at food banks across the country. No. Go! Go! What? It is shocking, a coincidence with the power of America being, at this point, a third global country. “So assuming we hit the frame with a massive effect, either ultraviolet or just very strong. And I think you said it hasn’t been verified, but you’re passing by to check it out. And then I said assuming I gently bring the inside of the frame, which you can do, either through the skin. Oh, my pass. I mean, it’s — [Sighs] “And we have to open our country, Jeff.” “Can you say, sir, what steps will you take to make that decision?” Here are the statistics.” Metrics here. Here. We see the [BLEEP] it says. We see the decisions he makes. And it’s funny, but when it comes to something as serious as that, it’s just … it’s not funny anymore. Are they mass graves? I’m sorry, does America have mass graves? Oh my past. I never realized that. What’s going on? I’m covered in nose blows right now. Same. Well, on May 5, the United States suffered more than 68,000 coronavirus deaths, more than 14 times China’s death. China, like densely populated China. It can’t be that. Oh? “It’s over 100, 000 now.” I didn’t know. I’m sorry about the other people.

The United States leads the world in Covid-19-related deaths, with nearly 150,000 deaths. The unemployment figures generated by the pandemic are staggering. The Trump administration’s slow and random reaction has been widely criticized. But what does it look like for young people around the world, whose governments have acted temporarily and aggressively to involve the coronavirus?

We wanted to know, so we contacted a lot of other people and showed them graphics, facts, photographs and videos illustrating the American response. Spoiler: They weren’t impressed.

Many complex economies, from Germany to Singapore, directly supplemented wages to save jobs. Other countries with fewer resources have begun mass testing at the first sign of an epidemic. Many countries have imposed universal blockades and controlled to flatten the curve. In some parts of Europe, you may be fined for getting too far away from home. And Vietnam, a country of 95 million people, has not noticed a single death of Covid-19.

This review video follows a popular video we produced last year, calling on young Europeans to respond to U.S. policies, such as physical care and parental leave. Many reviews that we produce a sequel. Well, here it is: the Covid-19 edition.
