You have to get off now, Harry. You have to get off, okay?
You're not talking to the lady.
Okay, good boy.
My name is Rebekah Joseph.
My name is Hiro Nakamura.
My name is Yaleyanah.
I was born in Atlanta, then moved to Maine, then I moved here.
For one, I love history.
I like doing sports.
Mom calls me an independent person.
It's a virus that started in China.
And then something happened, that it got spread all over the world.
And now it's turned into a very serious virus.
Well, my friends told me about it.
They're like, "Oh, have you heard about coronavirus?"
I was like, "No, what's that?" and they're like,
"Oh, it's this thing kind of like the flu."
After, like, a couple of days, you'll start feeling better.
But then it comes back even worse.
Which, it's kind of like a trickster virus.
Coronavirus's weakness is soap.
A lot of the people, like, will be fine from it,
but then they could spread it to other people that could die from it.
Well, I feel, like, really nervous and stuff.
I feel a little worried.
I feel scared.
I've been feeling a little bit worried.
Well, partly it feels kind of cool because I get to live through something
that'll probably be in history.
But, it's also kind of scary.
How it's going around the country so fast, it just scares me.
And my grandma, she,
she's on the older side, so. And we don't want to spread germs to her.
I don't really... I don't want to get it, and I don't want my family to get it.
And I hope they find a cure because
it's going to be very hard without a cure.
I'm worried about my family getting infected.
If I get infected, then that's trouble for me, yes.
But if my family gets infected, that's a worse thing.
I've heard people with already medical conditions,
who already have medical conditions,
it'll be even worse for them and I have asthma.
So, that kind of scares me because I have asthma.
The most thing I'm worried about is that this will go on for a long time.
Like, we're just at the start of it.
Well, usually if I think about it, I would actually start about to cry.
So, I take a breath,
probably look for something to read,
then calm myself down.
I just want it to be over with as soon as possible.
Adults should be following the rules and, then, making sure their kids are following the rules.
I think they're already doing this, but, trying mixing medicines.
Because what if all of a sudden a new different,
a new type of plant comes in and
scientists use it for a coronavirus vaccine and it works.
They should really help their kids understand,
know, like, what to do.
I feel like they should tell people to wash their hands,
which my dad says to my uncle.
I think they just should stay calm, get regular exercises
in areas
with people,
with not a lot of people.
Technically, if they mess something up, we're the next adults.
So, we have to fix it.
