I confess to not having watched the video..  but...
Your post reminds me of having learned in Medical school some 55 years 
ago that if someone shows up in the ER having consumed rubbing alcohol 
(a, at least then, common occurrence on what were at that time called 
'Indian' reservations) the first line of treatment was to blind fold 
him/her (usually the former.)  Blindness is the sequel and apparently 
less likely to occur if no light hits the retina. I still assume this to 
be true but confess to not having ever taken the trouble to verify it.  
It may become relevant in current times.
Just a little vignette to provide some light entertainment in these lock 
down days.
Stay safe; stay healthy.
