Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Tori. Today is Friday, March 20th, 2020.

And we begin with the nation's top doctor calling on a most unlikely hero to help this country turn the corner on the

them not to do something, the more they want to do it and because

the younger generation is more likely to ignore social distancing and

quarantines they are more likely to unknowingly spread the virus to their grandparents.

Kiley could reach 166 million followers with just one tweet.

So far, she has not responded to the Surgeon General's request.

Someone you probably didn't even know was still in the presidential race is now officially out.

Yesterday Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabert

ended her run after finishing at or near the bottom

Challenger Bernie Sanders meantime is reportedly huddling with family in Vermont to decide his next steps.

It may soon start to look a lot like Christmas in March.

Families around the country are pulling their holiday lights out of storage

The idea started with a tweet by a broadcaster for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Lane Grendel suggested we put the decorations up to lift the spirits of those of us stuck at home.
