In this program, Richard Trudgen and Djiniyini Gondarra are joined by Dr Kerry Mills to continue the conversation about how coronavirus can be floating in little droplets of mucus in the air. Djiniyini asks, “How do these viruses enter the body”? Dr Kerry Mills explains that these little droplets are floating in the air and if you breathe them in, they will go right down into the lungs. Once they’re in the lungs, the viruses make a home in the bottom of the lungs. From there, in the lining of the lungs, they create a pneumonia-type condition. A person can get very sick and won’t be able to breathe properly. This video explains why coronavirus is a real problem for older people and people who have chronic disease. We work through the names of all the conditions that may pose a heightened risk of bad health complications if you also get sick with the virus.

The traditional worldview of Yolŋu means they want in-depth, science-based information in order to understand any new topic. This is what Yolŋu call the “dhuḏi-dhäwu” – the deep true story. This full series of videos attempts to answer some of their questions from a Yolŋu worldview, using their linguistic construction of knowledge.
