“It’s OK to get a little scared when so many big things happen at once. It’s OK to be a little scared to get infected by the coronavirus”

Solberg, who was joined by the Minister of Knowledge & Minister of Children & Family Affairs,answered questions from children submitted through a children’s TV program & children’s newspaper.

Qs included “Can I have a birthday party?” & “How long does it take to make a vaccine?”
With adult journalists not allowed in, Solberg and the two ministers took dozens of questions over 30mins.

In response to the question on birthday parties: “If somebody has a birthday in the class, everybody should ring them and sing happy birthday!”.

Q: “Can I visit my grandparents after I went to a shopping centre?’

Solberg: By being home, you are helping other people not be contaminated and get sick. It is important for those who already have a disease or who are very old.

I was writing this thread as I was watching today’s Trump news conference, where Pompeo repeated “Chinese virus.” Everything Trump and Pompeo represent HAS TO END. This authoritarian capitalist patriarchy HAS TO END. It is what brought us to this #COVID19 crisis. ENOUGH.
Authoritarian capitalist patriarchy HAS FAILED US ALL.
