MOM!!! Why didn't you call me to wake up?! Now I'm late for school!!

Olivia, remember, you're sick, so you can't go to school!

Then can we go eat ice cream?

NO!

Why not?

First of all, there's coronavirus outside. Second of all, you're sick, and if you eat stuff that's too cold or too hot, you might get MORE sick!

What has gotten into me? A flu bug?

No, it's coronavirus. A lot of people on earth have it, but they don't care. They still want to go outside.

Mom, if they don't care, then they will get sick, like me!

Yes, that's true, Olivia. But, they don't wear masks, and they even parade! Some people hold up signs like WE WANT FREEDOM!, WE DON'T WANT TO WEAR MASKS!, and stuff like that.

Mom, I wouldn't do that, because I would get sick!

So, just stay home, and I'll call dad to take care of you.

Okay.

John, can you take care of Olivia? I need to work. Okay. Bye! *BEEP*

VROOM!

DING DONG!

MOM! Is it the pizza man?

Actually, it's your dad.

DAD!!!

Did you listen to your mom?

Well, she sometimes--OH NO! I'm late! Okay, bye sweetie! Bye, John!

Bye, mom!

Bye, honey!

Dad, can I go outside and play with my friends? PLEEEEEASE?

Well, there's coronavirus outside, so...

Pretty please, with cherry on top?

Olivia, you can't go outside, because you have coronavirus. But if you do go outside, you will infect other people, and they will get sick too. But, you can still use my phone and text your friends!

Okay.

Here. Remember, 20-minute limit, okay?

Okay. Thank you, dad!

Okay, soooo...

Thank you, Olivia!

Oh, and Olivia? I have to go to the supermarket because our food is not enough. Well, you have to go with me, because I can't leave you alone at the house. I'll get you a mask.

Okay!
