Just for kids is a web page that explains serious situations in a simple way for kids to understand. My response to this article about Coronavirus is that it is important to keep kids updated on what is happening in our society right now. Sometimes parents feel their children do not know what is happening in our society or is not impacting them. However, let’s put ourselves in a child’s shoes, one day you are out the next day there is no school and you can’t go out because the country is under quarantine. I chose this comic because I am part of the people that read things because of attractiveness. As soon as I saw it was a comic, I started to read it. That also happens to kids, for kids to be interested in something, it needs to catch attention. Let’s say this comic is posted on a wall, rapidly kids will be interested to see what it says.

I chose this article because I have seen people that are not minding this and keep using money without thinking of the consequences. It is obvious that people will think it is only because of the Coronavirus but paper money has other bacterias we cannot see. Paper money is important because otherwise the economy will stop running or functioning. But, in my opinion, paper money is one of the main reasons the virus keeps spreading. There are still people that do not have a reason to go out, going out just because they feel the virus is not that strong. I think it will be a good idea, as the article said, to implement a disinfectant  of cash as they did in china. However, it is important to stop the exchange of money but also let’s keep in mind small and big companies are suffering financially in this situation.
