ASMR content creators are now putting out videos that can help their audience unwind and be informed at the same time. Due to the spread of the Coronavirus, some people do need to find a place to calm down in these stressful times. ASMR content creators such as ASMR Darling uploaded a 30-minute video where the viewer has the point of view of someone who is being tested for Coronavirus. Buzzfeed has the details:

Taylor runs the popular YouTube channel ASMR Darling, an account with 2.46 million subscribers. In her recent 30-minute video “Testing You For Corona Virus (Raising Awareness And Debunking Myths!)“, Taylor is filmed in a point-of-view style as she introduces herself as “Dr Darling”. She then soothingly conducts a full checkup for COVID-19, and then runs through some information about the virus.
Taylor said she made the video — which she said she hasn’t monetised — to help her viewers learn more about COVID-19.
“I wanted to raise awareness and debunk myths around the virus. I know the virus really affects older people,” she told BuzzFeed News. “Using my platform to raise awareness on how not to spread illnesses is a way I can feel like I can help not only them, but other people.”
The video is obviously fake, but Taylor said she researched to make the video informative and relaxing. She opens the video by washing her hands for 30 seconds, and washes her hands two more times.
“I definitely thought this was an important thing to incorporate because it is all the WHO keeps [advising people] to do about the virus. I discovered what kind of tests they have for the virus and tried my best to mimic it to make the experience realistic, but also adding relaxing and calming touches to it,” she said.
