iN VIDEO: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, COVID-19 style

News and information about COVID-19 can be stressful, but this man offers a fresh delivery method to share some facts.

One bearded pianist figured he should share some tips on how to stop the spread of this ‘super bad transmittable contagious awful virus’ and created a parody song to the tune of ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ from Mary Poppins.

The video was uploaded by Daniel Matarazzo, who also did a coronavirus parody cover of 'Part of Your World' from The Little Mermaid.

In this video, Matarazzo touches on the importance of self-isolation and social distancing while playing the piano to the upbeat classic song. He mentions how important it is to respect guidelines from health officials so hospitals aren’t overwhelmed, and reminds people to consider the difficulties of those who are immunocompromised.

So far, the video posted to Youtube has nearly 450,000 views in just four days.
