Explanation:

novel coronavirus pandemic, known as Covid-19, could not have been more predictable. From my own reporting, I knew this first-hand. In October 2019, I attended a simulation involving a fictional pandemic, caused by a novel coronavirus, that killed 65 million people, and in the spring of 2017 I wrote a feature story for TIME magazine on the subject. The magazine cover read: “Warning: the world is not ready for another pandemic”.

There was little special about my insight. Over the past 15 years, there has been no shortage of articles and white papers issuing dire warnings that a global pandemic involving a new respiratory disease was only a matter of time. On BBC Future in 2018, we reported that experts believed a flu pandemic was only a matter of time and that there could be millions of undiscovered viruses in the world, with one expert telling us, “I think the chances that the next pandemic will be caused by a novel virus are quite good.” In 2019, US President Donald Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services carried out a pandemic exercise named “Crimson Contagion”, which imagined a flu pandemic starting in China and spreading around the world. The simulation predicted that 586,000 people would die in the US alone. If the most pessimistic estimates about Covid-19 come true, the far better named “Crimson Contagion” will seem like a day in the park.

As of 26 March, there were more than 470,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19 around the world and more than 20,000 deaths, touching every continent save Antarctica. This was a pandemic, in reality, well before the World Health Organization finally declared it one on 11 March. And we should have seen it coming.

Explanation:

This storytelling initiative is part of UNESCO’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is meant to put the spotlight on young people – how they feel, how they act, how they thrive during these challenging times. Over the past weeks, maybe months, young women and men have been taking action and developing many creative ideas to face these challenging times, whether by helping their community, finding innovative learning ways, keeping a positive spirit, taking care of their relatives and loved ones, and much more.

My COVID-19 Story is an open invitation to all young people to share their stories by means of written testimonials or the recording of their own video.

To amplify their voices further, UNESCO invites young people to share their stories through its social media channels, its website, its Field Offices and its networks all over the world.

The written and video testimonies collected will also contribute to the "Youth as Researchers - COVID-19" project, which will collect and consolidate knowledge and data on, by and with young people around a series of key issues related to the COVID-19 crisis (e.g. inequality and discrimination). The project will examine the impact of the crisis on young people (especially young women - out of school or unemployed because of the crisis), and how they affect or trigger resilience. The project - developed in collaboration with UNESCO Chairs (National University of Galway (Ireland) and Penn State University (United States of America)) - will provide a basis for skills development and virtual mobilization of young people for the collection and analysis of data.
