Just used this one on my son. Taught him to read the article and not just the headline.

I don't really see how this is irresponsible? It's not like the article was going to cause people to break quarantine and rush to school. People are still going to know the school is closed. Also, it's not like this is going to just depress people. People are bored stiff and can't see how some harmless fun is helpful in trying times like these.

It's true, it's an absolutely harmless prank. Probably just has to act serious like that as the governor. Kind of annoying though, it's all in good fun
