I think this is a good entry for the Once Upon a Time... writing prompt.
This short story is cute and well told.
Well done and I wish you good luck with the contest.

This one-hundred-fifty-word story, Doctor Knight, tells an odd tale of how a virus gets from China to America. I'm not sure where the racist question existed, but still an interesting tale.

Intriguing. I've not heard the term "coronella," and the story for the child is definitely interesting. I am wondering about the lack of traditional dialogue (quotation marks). It threw me off and distracted me. Using that format would not have added to the word count.

    Coronella is my own term for Covid and I am using the dialogue lines, because this is how we write in Eastern Europe. Thank you so much for reviewing, and I am so sorry for creating you a little bit of discomfort with my style.

Hello

An interesting entry for the Once upon a time.... writing prompt contest.

A good childrens' story of about 150 words about a pandemic. The story is amusing and probably would capture the child's interest but with a sense of what a pandemic is.

Heh! How is the lockdown affecting you up in Canada? I liked this story because it is so light-hearted.

A few typos:

1. "What's a Coronella is this a kind of yucky medicine?"

I think this is meant to be two sentences, right?
There should be a question mark between "Coronella" and "is."

Example:
"What's a Coronella? Is this a kind of yucky medicine?"

2. Horrified I looked at my child and sight.

I think you meant "sighed," right?

Example:
Horrified I looked at my child and sighed.

Thank you for a fun read!

    To tell you the true, in Alberta, so far we are ok. My problem is that we can't travel anywhere outside Canada. Thank you for the awesome review and for the corrections.

This seems well-done in the sense of making a coherent way to tell a child where the virus that is in the news came from, without assigning blame to anything or anyone specific. Thank you for a nice share.
