I think it helped me learn more about the coronavirus as my friends have told me things like it kills nearly everyone who gets it but know I realise that is not true.

No because I already knew all of this from the news and its not like any of this stuff is new; most of the interview is just them saying for you to wash your hands,practice social distancing, and to try not to say people who fall into the high-risk category. It is all information the PM, the news and the BBC have been telling us for a while now.

These were exactly the questions I would have asked and as they are asked by a child and read by children it is easier to understand. Thank you for putting this into the newspaper. It really helps.

The article made me feel both scared and calm. It answered some of my worries but also I am scared because the virus is new and even scientists do not yet have all the answers. It is important to stay inside and was your hands properly, like people have said.

I have learnt a lot and have realised how important it is to keep hygienic and keeping my family safe and others (like social distancing) I hope everyone is well and safe 🙂

Yes it did because it is on the news a lot and sometimes it feels very daunting

Uninformative and too basic. Read the government/NHS/The Times/Lancet Journal for actual proper in depth knowledge that i don't already know.
Also, forgets to mention that the government has tried to prevent long-term economic consequences from ravaging the nation. The economy might not be as important as life and death to you all about to comment, but the government has performed excellently in that area and better (unlike what First news is putting out) than most countries. i now believe all that needs to be improved is tests per day. This has given governments like South Korea a greater understanding of who is actually infected.
Before you try and attempt to counter my points, i would advise you to just think about the 3.3million unemployed Americans despite Trump's best efforts. Without such measures in the UK or US millions more could be unemployed which would cause long term damage to many peoples livelihood, forget a couple thousand people catching a cough.

Yes it did! It showed me the different aspects of coronavirus and showed that we all need to relax and stay clean, calm and healthy.

I already knew most of the things in the article but, I'm sure it helped younger children to understand.

I think the interview made me understand more about the Coronavirus because some of the answers were really good and some of it were really detailed answers and it made my brain understand more about it and now, I realised on why we have a huge lockdown.
cloandhols · 10 months ago
It tells me more than I knew before. It has a lot of information.
5honypony · 10 months ago
I think that although the interview may be helpful for others, I thought that the answers were quite shielded. Despite that, I still think it helped me understand the coronavirus a bit better. Thanks!
purplebook · 10 months ago
Yes although it is still hard to understand🤨

c'mon guys arent you just glad that first news put a lot of time and effort into helping you understand? did you even learn at least one thing? dont tell me you did not learn anything, otherwise that means that you already understood about coronavirus.
