This Coronavirus is HORRID,

something we must fight,

so let's all work together,

and fight with all our might.

CoronavirusThey call me

COVID-19!

I'M the

Flippie and Friends

Published by Copycat Communications

with Flip,

Why does it cause so much fear?

It is dangerous, little Flippie,

let me teach you, and make it clear!

What is the Coronavirus, Flip?

The Coronavirus is a nasty thing,

a tiny germ we cannot see. Germs can make us very sick,

they spread easily from you to me.

1

When you cough or sneeze, as you will,

do not cause alarm,

simply look the other way,

cough or sneeze into your arm.

We use our hands for many things,

keep them clean and neat,

So... wash them, wash them all day long

and just before you eat!

Should you see a friend is sick,

stay two steps away.Keep your distance, just for now,

it's the virus-smart way to play.

2

When you go to school,

for now please wear a mask.

We will win the battle, beat the bug

and end this difficult task!

Yippee!

When we need to stay at home,

it's important that we do.

Let's not spread the virus,

it's up to me and you!

But for now it's most important

to use the virus facts you know.

Please will you remember them,

and share them everywhere you go!
