What Would You Do is an American television show in which actors depict scenes of conflict and illegal activity which happen in everyday life and the focus is on whether bystanders will intervene. It is all recorded on hidden cameras. The show is hosted by news correspondent John Quinones and airs on ABC in America. Scenes can be watched on their YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/WhatWouldYouDo/videos 2. I found a song called Can't Beat Love uploaded on YouTube by a guy named Justin Wack.

People and the Coronavirus Pandemic

What a crazy time we are living in right now! The coronavirus pandemic has affected everyone in some way - Some are working from home or not able to work at all, doing school work online, going grocery shopping only to find empty shelves and limited stock of the items they need and unable to get medication and go about their daily lives. So many industries are suffering due to events being cancelled. Artists, performers, producers, managers and people in the music and entertainment industry are suffering due to cancelled or postponed concerts and the beauty and tourism industries are losing business. Whatever the situation, this has changed all of our lives. The global health crisis has brought out the worst in people. When we watch the news and go on social media everyday, we see videos of people arguing and even physically fighting in supermarkets over basic times like toilet paper and photos of the elderly facing empty shelves, struggling to find the essentials.
