Summary: Webcast on March 15th, 2020: this is the tale of the Coronavirus (so far) aka Covid-19 and its outbreak in March, 2020 culled from a core-sampling of many sources from around the net and set against the backdrop of previous worldwide pandemics but especially Swine Flu (H1N1) the last major pandemic in recent memory. We take as our starting point our heretofore unreleased show 'If Pigs Could Fly' created at the height of the H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Most of this 2.0 version is Coronavirus-related with many examples from popular and underground culture (which run the gamut from serious to brilliantly humorous to informative). This is a dynamic, unique and enlightening mix, a collage made up of snapshots of the media environment at the dawn of this crisis as well as a serio-comic and educational look at the universal subject of pandemics in general, and in particular the current one which we all now face.
