In a YouTube monologue recorded in Shepparton, Victoria, the speaker—Rene Deceuninck—states that he is not providing pandemic information but instead shares observations on body language in COVID‑19‑related videos. He explains the distinction between conscious (40 bits/sec) and subconscious (40 million bits/sec) communication, noting that body language comprises over 80‑90 % of communication and is largely unconscious. He identifies recurring non‑verbal cues among speakers: squeezing a dry mouth/lips, a forced laugh, and one hand gripping the upper arm, which he interprets as signs of frustration, anger, and tension. He draws a parallel to similar gestures observed in U.S. political debates over Obamacare, suggesting that such cues create a subconscious barrier between speaker and audience. The speaker encourages viewers to become “mind‑through‑body readers,” to notice what is unsaid, and directs them to his website for further content.

Body language and corona video comments. First of all, we're all safe and sound and doing great here in Shepparton, Victoria in Australia. I arrived end of February and long story short, due to the world situation, I'm still here in Australia. Now lately I've been cancelled many times to analyze videos related to the COVID-19 coronavirus. To all of you who is watching this, I wish to make it very clear that I am by no means committed to world pandemic information, comments, or feedback of any kind that is currently hot off the press. However, in terms of body language, I like to share you my insights. Do you know that we do and say things in a conscious and unconscious way? Now, body language is more than 80% unconscious. Conscious is the talking, the listening, the feeling, the tasting, the things we experience in the moment of awareness. Our conscious mind communicates 40 bits of data per second, whereas the subconscious mind communicates 40 million bits of data per second. Since body language is 90% of all communication and it passes through the subconscious, we have little or no control over it. Most of the time, the nonverbal tells us what the verbal would like to keep hidden. Now, what strikes me most about the speakers or individuals in videos related to the world's hottest topic of the moment, the COVID-19 coronavirus, is that these speakers regularly squeeze their dry mouth and lips together. They often express a fake laugh, and one hand squeezes one upper arm, which can indicate frustration, anger, and tension. This body language fully indicates the uncomfortable feeling of the individual and creates an unconscious and subconscious barrier between the speaker and his or her audience. I remember the same body language among the politicians in America during the Obamacare subject, where the Republicans were threatening to let Obamacare markets fall into chaos if repeal would fail. Take away that your body language during videos will influence people through your conscious and subconscious or non-verbal expressions. I wish you the best of luck and remember to become a mind through body reader and see what's never being said. Please pay a visit to ReneDeceuninck.com and I'm looking forward to see you soon. Thank you.
