Fearing the worse, Dr. Anthony Fauci spoke to the nation on Friday morning about a threat to the nation that has exploded since the COVID-19 quarantine: the rise of the popular video app Tik Tok. Featuring clips of various lengths made by tweens, young parents, and B-List celebrities alike, the application has now infected over 500 million people worldwide, and Dr. Fauci warns us, it is only beginning to spread. “This kind of thing goes into your homes, your work, pops up in bed with you, and can last on the surface of your phone for years,” he said in the now viral press conference. Symptoms include hours of lost time, even days in severe instances, injury due to attempted dancing mimicry, and the most common injury to Tik Tok viewers and users alike is that the phone can fall right on your face while you lay in bed.
In a confidential interview with one infected user, she stated, “I downloaded the app knowing the warnings and the risk signs. I thought I’d be fine. I wasn’t one of those types of people.” During our heartbreaking conversation, she checked her phone several times for new videos, and said that she not only had logged thousands of hours on the app, but had also posted her own videos doing stair-case dances and lip-singing pop songs, which have been shown to concerned friends and family. There is no vaccine at the moment, but public health experts advise distancing, complete avoidance of the application, and failing to charge your phone battery. Treatment is not 100% effective, with high rates of re-download, but the best tip to-date is Just Say No.
