The Sesame Street COVID 19 Special: Most Difficult Issue Tackled So Far?

Given that what the scientific community knows about the COVID 19 threat is still evolving, is this the “most difficult issue” being discussed by Sesame Street to date?

The COVID 19 pandemic is probably one of the most difficult issues confronting humanity to date that since the global lockdown, the folks at the Children’s Television Workshop had worked in conjunction with CNN already made two COVID 19 Sesame Street specials. Even though Sesame Street had made episode tackling difficult social issues since it started back in 1969 ranging from LGBT issues to parents not around due to the ongoing War on Terror during the first few years of the 21^st Century, it seems that social distancing could be the most difficult issue that kids around the world will be confronting and, fortunately, Sesame Street once again will allay the fears experienced by kids with regards to the COVID 19 pandemic.

With experts like Dr. Sanjay Gupta explaining why social distancing is necessary to slow down the spread of the virus before an effective vaccine is found, the two specials managed to teach the kids to adapt to the so-called “new normal”. Let’s just hope that the latest generation of Sesame Street’s fans will be the beneficiaries of an effective coronavirus vaccine.
