Former Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton will appear Saturday on a CNN town hall with characters from “Sesame Street” to educate kids and parents about coronavirus safety.

Acton, who resigned Thursday, will join Sesame Street cast members like Big Bird, Elmo and Grover in the one-hour special moderated by Dr. Sanjay Gupta titled “The ABCs of Covid-19.” Acton was a fixture on the television screen during the last three months as part of Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s coronavirus briefings, receiving praise for breaking down complex health concepts into digestible information.

Joining Acton will be Olympic gold medal gymnasts Simone Biles and Laurie Hernandez and Baltimore City Schools CEO Sonja Santelises.

The program will feature the Sesame Street characters and the experts answering questions from children and parents about summer safety and coping methods for the coronavirus, per a release from CNN. It was initially scheduled for May 30, but breaking news from protests around the country over George Floyd’s killing preempted it...

This could be a real entertaining thread. Have at it. I haven't seen Sesame Street in years, so I'm not of much use here.

I just wonder if The Count is going to count up the number of coronavirus deaths.

New York state is Very High at the top of states with Very Strong Pension funds.

Doing Very Well.

I don’t know why he’s crying about debt.

First of all, with the New York economy, the right cuts to state workers could make most of the deficit disappear.

He’s crying over nothing.

Property taxes are relatively low, state taxes don’t take nearly the hit out of towners think and the incomes for the same job somewhere else is usually twice as much.

He’s crying over nothing.

Bro just because something is the truth don’t come back with a 6 year old’s response like “huh”?

I live here. I work here. I know the salaries in different states for what I do.

I know the property taxes.

I live very well.

Dont be a b.tch because someone is happy here.

I responded with “Huh?” because I don’t see the connection of your response to Amy Acton, not because I disagree with you.

I can get on board with that, as long as the particular muppet she’s trying to explain things to is Beaker, who is shrieking at her every statement. :P

Property taxes are relatively low

Property taxes on Long Island and Westchester are astronomical.

I’ll be surprised if she actually shows.

She had to resign hastily after Operation Rescue uncovered and published some dirt they got from her mother. Obviously there’s more where that came from. This ought to be low-profile time for her.

Wasn’t Joe going to nominate a few of the Muppets for VP, until he discovered that they were just socks with people’s arms in them, which made him so depressed that he stayed in his room all day in his PJs.

I had not heard that. Tried to look it up and found nothing. Do you have a link to that info?
