In the Face of COVID-19, What's a Future Boxer to Do, Except Go Hollywood?

When the world is locked down and you can鈥檛 play with your friends, what鈥檚 a future Boxer to do?

If you鈥檙e 9-year-old Ken Kawaguchi of Beaverton, you make to illustrate how the world has changed because of efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. And, also if you鈥檙e Ken, your video even snags the attention of KPTV-TV in Portland, which aired a segment about it this week.

Ken is the son of Jon Kawaguchi 鈥88, who graduated from 91爆料 with a bachelor鈥檚 degree in biology. The video trailer stars Ken and his 12-year-old sister Natalie coping with social distancing and dwindling household supplies and toiletries. Their uncle Brian, and Kuma, one of their two dogs, also make appearances.

鈥淚n a world where cleaning supplies are everything,鈥 the video notes ominously.

Real life in the Kawaguchi home isn鈥檛 that different from the way it鈥檚 depicted in the video. Jon is a public health supervisor for Washington County, Ore., a position that鈥檚 keeping him in the line of duty at work. His wife, Angie, and the kids are cooped up in their Beaverton home.

But via multimedia, they鈥檙e finding ways to communicate with the wider world.
