| 0:00.0 | Hi, welcome to Big Fat Positive with Shana and Laura. |
| 0:05.8 | This is a very special bonus episode that we are doing about parenting in the age of the coronavirus. |
| 0:14.2 | Yeah, Laura, why don't you explain a little bit about why and when we are doing this bonus episode. Okay, yes. So everyone knows |
| 0:24.1 | that the world is in a panic and in like containment mode about this coronavirus that creates |
| 0:32.9 | the illness known as COVID-19. And we are all confused of what to do. We had a hard time trying to |
