Maldives vacation: Video on Youtube excites the minds - but for a different reason than expected

"Mom, when are we there?" So begins the video, which is supposed to show the landing approach to the Maldives. The words are spoken by a boy, he sounds excited. "It won't be long now," you hear a woman's voice say, probably the mother, in the background noise as usual on airplanes. In addition, one sees pictures from an airplane window, which reveal turquoise blue sea and islands. But how can that be? In times of the coronavirus crisis, where everyone should stay at home, hardly any air traffic takes place?

"We are now here on the approach to the Maldives, " the woman's voice continues. "What is the nice weather out there? I hope you all stay well. We have now lost each other and got the last flight."

But then, the pan of the camera, away from the picture. You can see how the screen of a laptop was filmed through the handle of a detergent bottle , where pictures of the Maldives can be seen from the air. The noise also gives way, you can see how a hair dryer is switched off.

"As you know," the woman's voice dissolves the fun , "we're all in the home office. Therefore, I greet you very much. Stay healthy!"
