Corona, corona!!!  It’s here, it’s here and as President of the United States everyone needs to know what to do.  Make a 30 second video informing the public of the dangers of the Coronavirus.  Be sure to tell us “what to do”, “what not to do” and how to protect our money from this recent outbreak.
Who’s your next President, I’m your next president.  You're running for President and you’ve just heard the current President's speech about Corona.  Your country needs to hear how it’s all wrong and how life would be so much better if you were in charge.
“The More you know”  Your friend has the virus but it’s her 16th birthday.  Make a birthday video to your friend, be kind, wish her a happy birthday but let her know there is no way anyone is coming to her party.
The neon lights are dark on Broadway.  You are a famous Broadway star who has been out of work for 3 weeks due to Corona.  Convince your public to get out of their houses and storm the stages of Broadway in protest.  You may all be sick together but at least you’ll be entertained.

NBA Lockdown.  You’re an NBA star and you haven’t played any games in two weeks.  Your cousin’s neighbor needs a new Porsche and since you're not playing games you no longer have the money to buy it for them as you promised.  You have to start your own fundstarter account.  Upload a video pleading to your public to donate to your Porche fund in these difficult times.
Oh no, I snuck out of the house to go to a concert and now I have Corona!!!!  This is your personal video diary, tell us all about the concert, show or sports event, but most importantly let us know how you are going to hide the Corona from your parents.
OMG you’re a superhero who has Corona.  Make a public service announcement warning all superheros and villians that they could get Corona too.  Be sure and let them know what to avoid.
Pretend you’re a dog or a cat and give us an internal monologue about your confusion and annoyance as to why your owner is home for 2 weeks.  I mean you have things to do, couches to pee on and all he does is throw a dumb ball for you to catch.
You own the company that makes Purell and you’re in trouble.  The world wants to know why you’ve upt your price from 1.50 to 50.00.  You think give the current outbreak you are completely within your rights.  I mean, who buys Purell anyway, you have to make up for a lot of lost time.
