With Wuhan Coronavirus spreading in New York City, parents, Parent Teacher Associations, and schools seem to be inevitably headed for extended shutdowns and quarantines. The Department of Education is crossing its fingers, wiping down all surfaces, and hoping to avert the worst without closing schools, but parents are going to need contingency plans.
Do Soylentils have recommendations for online resources that members of NYC's school boards can share with the parent community to help kids keep up with their school work? Khan Academy is an excellent resource for math & science; it doesn't span every subject but something like it that grade school kids can understand would be ideal.

For the same reason we name cars Mustang and Corvette instead of an MD5 hash of all their part numbers.

We're trying to *sell* covid-19?

More fundamental. Mustang or Corona virus are easily remembered. Covid-19 means nothing to anyone who doesn't know why it's named that.
