Infectious Disease Visits New York City
About this video
Personified Infectious Disease takes his children on a trip to New York City in this Arabic-captioned sketch, narrating the city entirely through infection risks. He warns about sleep deprivation, rats and the diseases they can carry, pigeons, and a long catalogue of pathogens, even reworking a famous landmark inscription into a list of illnesses. The comedy comes from a specialist unable to switch off his professional lens while sightseeing with his family.
Key takeaways
- Flanary portrays Infectious Disease as seeing travel only through pathogen exposure
- The sketch lists rat-associated and other infections for comic alarm, not as travel advice
- His point is the humor of specialty tunnel vision on a family vacation
