If you happen to be the tens of thousands forced to stay in solitary confinement, you're probably already climbing the walls of the house, and rightly so. What can you do two weeks between four walls without going crazy? Television can always be a good solution. It is worth giving up on news - it's time to complete all the series you've always wanted. Docu? Depending on which, but if you really need a good, scary and very worrying docu, the "Corona Virus" that came up last night on HOT8 is the most up-to-date docu on the corona eruption, and includes testimony and photo shoots in China.

The "corona virus" describes the way the corona did from the first cases in early December in China, so they did not know what it was yet, until almost the present where millions in isolation, hundreds of thousands of infected and tens of thousands who died following the virus.

The film focuses on China, Wuhan city, one of the major and major cities in the country. The first cases were diagnosed by Dr. Li Wenliang, who initially thought it was SARS - another type of corona that had previously claimed victims. So interrogated by the authorities and required to remain silent, and finally the one who paid for it in his life, when he died of the disease.

The film chronologically describes the line of Chinese government's failures, the hiding of information, false information and, in fact, dragging the legs and silencing attempts, which eventually caused much greater damage. The Chinese authorities understood that it was a rapidly spreading virus, but woke up late. Because of their hiding attempts, they lost two or three weeks while the virus was out and there was no tracking - that's the critical time when the virus got out of control.

Just a month after the first cases were discovered, China notified the World Health Organization of the virus. She went on to distort numbers and facts, reporting that the virus was in control, causing tens of millions of Chinese to move to Wuhan for the Chinese New Year. Then things changed and the Chinese managed to take control of the virus.

The film provokes anger at the Chinese authorities. If they were only operating transparently, it would probably be possible to isolate the patients and leave the disease within limited limits, rather than make it a global epidemic. In the Chinese, as in the Chinese, once the authorities decided to "treat" the virus, they began to move into homes and test heat for people. Anyone who found that he had a fever - was taken to isolation. Families in which Corona patients were forced to stay in their homes and their doors were welded. The civilians who understood the default began to protest and upload videos against the government that abandoned them.

The "Corona Virus" is rich in authentic photography by Chinese photographers and civilians. The footage from Chinese phones illustrates the horror: hospitals are blown up and people have no place to stand. The medical teams are mentally crashing, bodies are lying on the floor for hours, people passing by, new patients arriving and having no place - chaos. And outside, deathly silence. Empty streets, closed shops, mirrors of the end of humanity.

The "Corona virus" is constantly up-to-date and relevant to those who want to understand how it all started. The end of the movie is completely pessimistic, and may be telling the truth as it is: not knowing how this virus behaves, not knowing how many people actually got infected and how many patients were not diagnosed on time, and as a result they died. Uncertainty is probably the second way to die from Corona.
