COVID-19 as you obviously know is the terrible disease that is going around everywhere in the world and day by day hopefully getting better and seeing less and less numbers of people that are dying. Sadly, three of my close friends got COVID and all survived thank god. Before knowing someone so close to me that got the disease, I viewed it as like it was not really a thing- and thought “this is something I won’t get!”. But that just was not reality, everyone can get it, and yes being younger we have a better rate of survival compared to someone who is 80 years old. I decided to talk about this because of all the effects that it is having on people, places, and just everything.
First off, with this disease it forced many local places to close down- this now leads to them loosing money from people that they fully relied on. Things that they are doing to help alleviate that is pick up and delivery. Yes, it is smart for them to close them down because they are putting our safe and health first.
Second, many people are loosing jobs due to places closing down and companies shutting down for this period of time to again make sure everyone is staying safe. This is having effects on families that have children and are being unable to pay for some certain things, and only focusing on the necessitates during this time.
Third, I think that college students were affected by this in a great deal. Not to sound dramatic, but it is almost like we had to just pick up all of our stuff and just leave. And just like that everything was gone and things were different. Online learning is NOTHING at all like being in a classroom. Personally, I do much better in a class room in a hands on environment, rather than having everything virtually. But hey, ya gotta do what you have to do. Again, all for the safety of everyone. I just hope we are allowed to go back in the FALL..
Also a good show to watch on Netflix- pandemic (explained)– I watched it with my dad and it is very informative and only about 20 min per episode if you are interested!
Stay well!
