  • I don't know if this is comedy, I don't know what it is. But it is Dedicated to those who perished to Covid. WARNING: This contains dark material about death. If you are offended by such, DO NOT WATCH. If you are watching, I don't normally do this, but I'm going to ask that you watch till the end. The very end.

    This one's gonna be weird. It's dark, its uncomfortable, it's not gonna get as many views, the laughter is all 'zoomish', but it felt important, i hope you enjoy it, and share it.

I've seen so many deaths in these days... people,desperate to find a bed, oxygen for their loved once...said "NO" to so many people each day coz I didn't have enough oxygen, medicines, ventilator...it hit us so hard😔..my family members got it too while I was trying to help others..
    Funny thing: at the end of the day people blame doctors: treatment sahi nahi kiya,case bigad diya, relatives ko sahi tara se nahi samjhaya, doctors khub paise kamaya...I didn't ask for that..I didn't ask for this bloody money...God help those who lost their grandparents, parents, children, love once🙏

Sponsors don't want to pour money into a video if noone is going to hear their name being called out or their services being mentioned. CZcamsrs with sponsored videos need to show the companies that they're getting an ROI. Which is why the more successful youtubers find creative segues or integrate quick sponsor plugs into the actual content. CZcams probably provides this feature because they know that without the ability to show sponsors a precursor to ROI, the big creators would not be able to retain sponsors and sustain their channels. They might then look elsewhere, losing CZcams it's revenue.

    Everyone watching this had a tear in their eyes. Some out of laughter, some out of pain, some just driven by the memories of those final moments with their loved ones.
    And yet everyone at the end had a sigh, of grief, of loss. And what u did was turned it into hope, smile and reminded everyone that even in the gravest of disasters, it's the human power to stay together for each other, that matters.
    Thank you Vir Das ❤

    Dad would’ve loved watching Vir’s intelligent and compassionate comedy because he too had that kind of sense of humor.
