加拿大疫情进入了极其关键的时刻，总理杜鲁多为了劝大家呆在家里也是煞费了苦心。他每天早上11点，都会站在温度低于零下的家门外准时直播！
他提醒所有人，#stayathomesavelives！呆在家里就是救命！“呆在家”听上去很简单，其实对大人和孩子们都非常挑战。这不，前几天一名叫迈克尔的蒙特利尔8岁男孩就给总理写了这样一封信：
他在信里说：亲爱的杜鲁多，我的名字是迈克尔，8岁了，住在蒙特利尔。我希望您和妻子一切都好。听说她感染了病毒，我非常惊讶！我不希望她传染给你。
关于这次新冠病毒，我想问你几个问题。加拿大所有人得病的可能性有多大？你正在采取什么措施来确保人们远离病毒？我不想让我的爷爷奶奶被传染！谢谢你那么努力地工作！请务必回复我。
杜鲁多竟然真的回复了他，内容很感人！
Thanks for your letter, Michael - Sophie feels better and I feel just fine. We’re working super hard to slow down the spread of COVID-19 and keep you, your grandparents, and all Canadians safe. And there are so many medical professionals across the country focused on that too. But there are things everyone can do to help with this! Share this your friends: Wash your hands often. Cough into your elbow. And instead of hanging out, talk on the phone for now. We’ll get through this together, Michael.
迈克尔，感谢你的来信，索菲亚感觉好多了，我感觉也很好。我们正努力降低COVID-19的传播速度，并确保你，你的祖父母和所有加拿大人的安全，全国各地有非常多的医疗专业人员正专注于此。但是，这也需要每个人一起努力！把这些分享给你的小朋友们：经常洗手，对着手臂弯咳嗽。而且，不要外出聚会了，和他们打电话吧。迈克尔，我们会一起度过这次难关的。
在刚刚过去的这个周日的新闻发布会之后，总理又专门花了一些时间直接与加拿大儿童对话。他说：
To all the kids out there: All of a sudden, you heard you can’t go on play dates or have sleepovers, your playgrounds and schools have closed and your March break was certainly different than what you’ve hoped for.
孩子们：突然之间，你们已听说你们无法出去玩儿，或去小朋友家过夜，操场和学校也都关闭了，这肯定不是你们所期望的三月春假。
I get it from my kids as well.
我自己的孩子和大家经历也是一样的。
They watch a whole lot more movies, but they miss their friends, and at the same time, they are worried about what’s going on out there in the world and what their future may hold.
他们在家观看了很多电影，但他们更想念他们的小朋友，与此同时，他们也担心世界上正在发生的事情以及他们的未来会怎样。
I know this is a big change, but we have to do this not just for ourselves, but for our grandparents, our nurses, our doctors and everyone working at our hospitals and you kids are helping a lot.
我知道这是一个很大的变化，但是我们不仅要为自己做这件事，而且还必须为爷爷奶奶，我们的护士，我们的医生以及在我们医院工作的所有人，还有你们每一个孩子也帮了大忙。
The doctors and scientists have been clear that social distancing – which means staying at least two metres apart and staying home at much as possible – is the best way to help each other, and you have been washing your hands a lot.
医生和科学家们清楚地知道，与社会保持距离是最好的互相帮助的方式，这意味着彼此相距至少两米，并尽可能地呆在家里，这是相互帮助的最好办法。
So a special thanks to all you kids. Thank you for helping your parents work from home, for sacrificing your usual day, for doing math class around the kitchen table, and for trusting in science. We are going to have more to say to you soon, so stay tuned.
特别感谢你们，孩子们。感谢你们帮助父母在家工作，感谢你们牺牲了平常生活，感谢你们在厨房餐桌旁上数学课，感谢你们对科学的信任。我们将很快有很多好消息告诉你们的，请耐心等待。
In the meantime, let’s make sure we all do our part. Let’s fight this together.
与此同时，让我们每个人都尽了自己的一份力量。让我们共同努力战胜疫情！
呆在家就能救命是多么幸福的一件事！
小朋友们加油！所有人加油！
