It's based on a radio story that NPR education reporter Cory Turner did. He asked some experts what kids might want to know about the new coronavirus discovered in China.
Listen, this should be required reading...not just for kids. Sad but true.
This is what they should be delivering to most adults!!!!
'Experts' from a 'public' radio station brought to you by the most corrupt pharmacutical company on the planet, Merck. No thanks. I know how to talk to my kids.
Well done!
家长们，你们的孩子或许听说过新型冠状病毒肺炎 --- 他们可能会提出一些问题。 以下是就是专家们对这种病毒的看法，为你的孩子量身打造。
y’all are out here doin the Lord’s work!!
Dear Kids, this is no different than how you should approach every other day and situation. Wash your hands, Eat healthy, Exercise, Cover your sneezes and coughs, Have respect for others, etc.. etc..
I shared this comic with my son today. I’m thankful it was made available 👍🏻
Here is lesson one... People of Asian descent have NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.
BUT I LOVE PICKING MY NOSE
My kids DO have questions. They want to know why China is so irresponsible and they want to know why democrats suck
Retweeting this cartoon from last week I believe. Geared for kids but perhaps we should “share” with adults also. And, as the Brits said in prep for WWII KeepCalmandCarryOn
jbblairmt Excellent and thx jbblairmt
WADeptHealth So you are advising LWSD to keep schools open this week when the only 2 deaths in the US are within in a few blocks of several schools. Putting our community and children at risk. Why not play it say and lean on the side of precaution and advise LWSD to close? Use common sense
WADeptHealth Even the teenagers and grownups need to read it. Especially this part.
It doesn't appear the orientation of the panels are correct for the folding technique used in the linked YouTube video. Has anyone properly cut and folded the jpg into a zine? I don't see how.
Cute! Just know it’s not a new virus. It’s a new strain of the virus.
*May* have heard about it? It’s on a 24 hour news cycle. Even the mice living in our walls have heard about it
I wish you had given some sort of warning! This story scared the daylights out of my kids. Now they won’t stop talking about it. They are worried nonstop and feel helpless. Thanks for that.

Okay now do one for IMPOTUS45
I think we need cartoon explanations for adults too. More than a third of American 'adults' think you can get coronavirus from Corona beer. 🤦♀️
The virus makes people sick. Just like the flu. Some people will die from it. Just like the flu. You could get it, you could die from it. Or maybe you won't. You could also get run over by a car tomorrow. Now lets go get ice cream.
Or presidents
Thank you! Talked to my 8yo about it, but she’s super into graphic novels, so this will def catch her attention better than mama droning on with stats.
Thank you.
Cover your cough, kids TeachableMoment
Why would anyone listen to NPR's advice when it comes to children, what's the matter, the climate crisis money dried up?
Should send this to realDonaldTrump. It's more on his level. TrumpIsTheOnlyHoax throwthefilthyLIARout
It is a flu; talk to your kids. NPR, your Mickey Mouse scare tactics are in line with your recent HIV comparison. Life lesson 1: don’t make bad life decisions—you will get HIV. Life lesson 2: wash your hands—95% more unlikely to get a flu.
Democrat hoax. Everyone knows that. Don't spread fake news.
Please forward this tweet to the realDonaldTrump Administration so that the can get a clue what leadership looks like.
What to teach your kids: Every year at about this time the media finds some illness, and blows it all out of proportion. They've done it every year for as long as I remember. Some ppl will lose their minds over it, but it's not as big a deal as they say. For example...
The real flu kills more people.. wheres the hysteria about the regular flu?
PERFECT! An easy-reader version for Trump's next coronavirus Coronavirusupdate trumpsvirus Pencedemic
Or you could just talk to your kids like they are people.
Great resource, although it would have been nice to also see scientists in the list of helpers...it's a great way to get kids more interested in science 😃🧪
Thank you for this. We’ve been walking the line of trying to make our daughters aware without making them panic.
MalakaGharib Thank you. I will print and share with the kiddos in my classroom.
Just for Dems
V2019N Very nice you shared this very important information relative to young kids.
Absolutely loved this story this morning! 👏🏽 Thank you for being mindful of the concerns children may have about the virus at this time.
Does that kid have a pencil or a shiv?
MalakaGharib This is so awesome! Thank you for the illustrations especially!
My kid told me he thinks coronavirus doesn’t exist, that it’s a global plot by governments to control us, just like the Martians in the 1940s. This is primarily because he doesn’t want to wash his hands.
Cdc states to wash your hands and not to touch your face! Then the folks that are sick to wear a mask and if those folks that are sick dont wear mask? What happen to the none mask wearer? This is a total failure! Why not just wear a mask period!
“Wash your hands” and everything will be just fine...

Tell them that if they don't drink Corona or wear a Barry Sanders jersey that they have nothing to worry about in life.
Lol what?
With regards to sneezing, the cutest thing a Tweeter wrote: for her kids, she reminds them to do a Dracula.
CBS just reported it maybe in Africa now. I hope they're handling it better under 'better leadership' than realDonaldTrump administration. Bernie2020
Duty to Inform the Public
NPR you are metaphysical AND cool
