My Name is Alex Clayton and I go to lone star Middle School, and I am a basketball player for the Idaho Stags.

It started as a news report saying a cruise ship arrived in the U.S with diseased passengers and I did not think anything big about it, so I let It go. A few months later everything shut down out m of nowhere and school, restaurants, movie theatres, just anything public that is a company shut down or was close to that. Eventually things started to die down and things opened back up, but you would get your temperature checked and be wearing a mask everywhere. Life was never the same for like two years. (This was all my perspective)
