The pandemic has brought up a lot of situations where people feel alone because they can't see their friends or go to the places they want. It has brought a feeling of constant claustrophobia within the walls of one's life. This has been something that has effected me because of all the restrictions you have to go to when just doing a normal thing like going to the grocery store. Everything has been so different and so procedural. It is a very bizarre feeling to do groceries and think about if one of the items you touched at the store could give you one of the most contagious and deadly diseases the last hundred years or more. During this times of extra precaution, it is always import to remember why people take this precautions and safety measures. As someone living with their parents after college being shut down, I need to always be exceedingly thorough when washing my hands and cleaning things as my mom has recently finished chemo and radiation. Life has been so different and so uniform without much change besides in the number of patients throughout the world.
