In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many are turning to the Internet to soothe their anxieties surrounding the virus, specifically with [autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) content](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubai-airport-popup). One content creator, [ASMR Darling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/excel-study-beats), is catering to this need with the launch of her COVID-19-themed video, titled 'ASMR Testing You For Corona Virus (Raising Awareness and Debunking Myths!)'

The video is dedicated to role-playing, testing the listener for various illnesses including the COVID-19 virus, and goes beyond just reassuring listeners they won't die. The immersive video features the sounds of a mask's rustle, the repeated washing of hands, and the narrator's voice debunking common myths surrounding the virus with a sobering ending. The 30-minute video is available to view for free on ASMR Darling's [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maltesers-meditation) channel.
