COVID-19 Lofi/Jazzhop mix

This mix is dedicated to everyone as we battle the greatest threat our generation has ever faced - the coronavirus aka Covid-19.

As the virus gains strength and afflicts millions of people worldwide, who would've thought that a few short weeks ago (from a North American perspective) we'd all be living through an actual Hollywood-type horror experience?

You know the plot: bad guy/terrorist group/incompetent employee releases a virus that kills or mutates local residents and then deliberately or unintentionally, that same virus is transported abroad where it potentially can wipe out hundreds of millions of people.

In the Hollywood version, a brave hero/heroine saves the day, and narrowly averts a global disaster. Collective sigh of relief - please pass the popcorn & chips.

But Covid-19 is not a movie. It's real and it's killed thousands of people so far.

Here in Toronto, and other Canadian provinces, we've been asked to 'self-isolate' for 14 days if we've recently traveled abroad, and if not, we're encouraged to practice 'social distancing' and avoid crowds to limit the spread of the virus. Some U.S. states and many countries are implementing stricter measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus, including national quarantines, school closures and travel and restaurant restrictions. Many public places including museums, beaches and nightclubs are closed until further notice.

The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak a pandemic, and called on "all countries to continue efforts that have been effective in limiting the number of cases and slowing the spread of the virus."

I've been doing my part, staying at home as much as possible and remaining positive. And creating music mixes for you to enjoy.

Stay strong - we'll get through this and the world will be better afterward.

This mix explores the beautiful sounds of lofi music aka jazzhop. Special bonus track included with a funny message for the socially conscious.

Perfect grooves to take our minds off the onslaught of news we're getting about Covid-19.

We all have a big part to play to ensure this virus is tamed so we can get back to normal.
