Yes I agree, people are showing how kind they can be
This is the first thing that came to my mind. I totally agree with you.
It is very important for people specially famous and influential icons to take part in the corona virus awareness campaign

I think becoming a lollipop man and women makes sense because we are probably about to go on full lockdown so there will be no people.

I got 70% but that was hard and it suprised me a lot
03 Apr 2020
I got 60% on this quiz, however some of the answers surprised me! The question where the answer was they had to turn into lollipop men and women really shocked me, because lollipop men/women are really important near busy schools, and the facts that the teachers had to take over there role is shocking. I'm curious how this went down, and what other schools had to do because of the virus.
