This year has been a crazy roller coaster. After a school activity at school, I learned that I was present with a person who was notified that they got Covid. I learned the information from a friend of mine who had to be quarantined at home. Since that was the first time I heard a peer getting Covid, I was shocked. A while later, I heard a few more students or teachers getting Covid. This news did not shock me or affect me in any way. I knew that even though there are new procedures, people being in-person will still have consequences. I knew that people getting Covid-19 is inevitable. Once people take the vaccine, I believe the probability of getting Covid-18 will go down.
