14,704 hours, 882,285 minutes and 52,937,103 seconds

"It has been 14,704 hours, 882,285 minutes and 52,937,103 seconds since the afternoon of March 11, 2020, when the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The world changed in an instant! Inspired by the title and date of this shortwave transmission, I wanted to write a reminder that 22 months later in November 2021 we are still in a global pandemic, a "medical emergency" for COVID-19, to take some time to reflect on the universal trauma we have collectively endured and continue to endure as a result of this pandemic. Headphone listening is highly recommended for this piece of music."
