Getting corona can be scary for some people especially if you get it. My grandparents got it, but only one of them got it bad. My grandpa had to spend a few weeks in the quarantine section of a hospital and he was in rough shape. My grandma however, even though she tested positive, was asymptomatic. She was scared though for my grandpa. He is much better now but my grandparents do take more precautions now that they have had it. This is important to me because it shows that people can survive the corona. I personally am not afraid of the corona but that does not mean i wont be careful.
