A pandemic is transmittable disease that can significantly boost morbidity and death over a vast geographical area and also trigger considerable financial, social, and even political interruption. Evidence recommends that the probability of pandemics has enhanced over the past century due to increased global traveling and even combination, urbanization, changes in land use, and also better exploitation of the native environment. These trends likely will continue and also will intensify.

Python is one of the best tools that you can use for your data analysis for several reasons. Apart from the flexibility and ease of learning it offers, if you are trying something creative that no one has ever done before, then Python is the best way to go. It is also ideal for any developer who is looking for a program that will allow them to script websites and applications. The best thing that I love about Python is its readability and simplicity, which goes a long way in boosting a gradual and relatively low learning curve.

not well narrated and a little too concise
it sounds like a book report someone thought they could make a buck off of. It worked. You can get more information for free on youtube. Or Wikipedia. there really wasn't a point in paying for a summary.

Mau’i is pronounced mow-EE not mow-why. Pele is pronounced pay-lay not pell-uh. Hawaiian phonetics are simple and easy to learn but the narrator made no effort in that regard. Shameful.

Not too bad
But narrator would have benefited from someone to aid him with the pronunciation of names and areas. I'm sure he did well with he was given, but some of the pronunciations were very wrong and a bit off-putting to the point that I had to work out who or what was being discussed.
