Nearly 40 percent of hospitalized Coronavirus patients are as young as 20, according to the CDC **, so millennial Billboard Top 40 artist Jaki Nelson, who has an underlying health condition, wanted to get the word out to young people with, “(Don’t Get) Physical”, a 20-second musical hand-washing PSA.
“(Don’t Get) Physical” is a parody of Dua Lipa’s “Physical” that also features Loris (“The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula”, Season 1) as “Corona” with a cameo from Billboard artist Joey Suarez.

I grew up in a household full of rock music, studied journalism in college, and then became a scientist.Although my science career has served me well, music has always played a major role in my life. I grew up reading "Creem" magazine; I play several musical instruments as a "hobby";and it seems a camera has always been in my hand. Now, I am combining what I love the most--music and photography--serving as editor of Rock At Night. I travel between the US and UK seeking my dream! My motto: life is short...no regrets. Chyrisse
