CNN announced Wednesday it will feature teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg in its next "Coronavirus: Facts and Fears" town hall program set for Thursday night on the cable channel.

The town hall, hosted by "AC 360" anchor Anderson Cooper and CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, will also include former acting Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Richard Besser and former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Both officials served in the Obama administration.

The town hall on Thursday night comes one week after the network welcomed filmmaker Spike Lee as well as former Vice President Al Gore to discuss COVID-19.

Thunberg has become an outspoken figure, drawing considerable media attention since leading school strikes in her home country of Sweden in 2018.

Thunberg was awarded Time's Person of the Year award while also being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2019.

Thunberg said earlier this year that she had recovered from what she believed were mild coronavirus symptoms.

I imagine she’ll be considered a child for the next five to ten years anyway.

[JBW1949]

She hasn’t come close to acting like an adult yet...

[GotMojo]

well she does need something to yell about.....

[ealgeone]

I guess she’s an expert on the Chinaflu as well as climate change?

[Deplorable American1776]

Greta, besides being an expert on the climate, has a medical degree, too? Does she have an economics degree, too?

How dare they slight David Hogg!

If Great isn’t available, CNN could always fill her spot on the panel with the nine-year-old “trans” child who was going to vet Elizabeth Warren’s Secretary of Education.

Just a hair split but she will turn 18 next January.
