I tried to view the video but it said it was blocked in my country (US). Am I doing something incorrectly?

No, I'm sorry I think it is blocked in the US - I wonder why.

It maps the outbreaks of ME/CFS round the world since the 1930s - scary stuff

I've seen it before, maybe do a search for the title within youtube and an unblocked version will come up?

Apparently its because of Music Copyright laws - the music used is not cleared for US use, so the video gets blocked over there (or 'here', depending on where you're reading this message).

The author(s) say he/she/they have done another video with different music, so that should be around somewhere & viewable in the USA.

btw, when the camera zooms in at the end and you see all the red dots/people affected worldwide and then in the USA, its a pretty powerful and scary image.
