A retired doctor in the UK has become an overnight YouTube star for his calm, informational videos on preventing the spread of coronavirus.

Dr. John Campbell has 439,000 subscribers to his channel and views for his videos — daily updates on the pandemic as well as how-to’s, including one on hand-washing — have topped 30 million views.

“I want to promote the health of my countrymen. It’s not about me. It’s about preventing the spread of the disease,” Campbell, 62, told the Daily Mirror.

“Governments and official bodies didn’t seem to be very proactive about it so I made videos to get people to get thinking about it. I’m surprised it has become so popular, but clearly there is a thirst for information.”
