I really haven't experienced that much of covid within the family except me getting into close contact and receiving symptoms after. My family has been lucky and no one serious in my family has received covid but, I know many people who have covid and sadly, I know someone who passed away too from it. Even though my family hasn't gotten anything serious yet, we are still very alert and strict on what we can and not do.

I personally haven't really been affected by Covid, but I have had a few friends who tested positive. It was kind of funny because the two friends that I would talk with every day and hang out with were the two to get it. One of my friends tested positive on Christmas Eve and the other tested positive a few days before Christmas. I didn't know for a while because of Christmas plans and holiday festivities, so it wasn't a huge deal, but we couldn't get together for new years' which was kind of sad.

When Covid started I didn't know much about it. All I knew was it was like another flu and it was another virus. After a few months of Covid, I started to have friends and family who got it. Some of the symptoms my aunt and her sister had was a loss of smell and taste and they had fevers and were kind of fatigued. My old basketball coach got it and he had the same symptoms.
Many many people have got it all over the world and I'm glad that I only know a few people who have it, and are fortunate that most of my friends and family are healthy.

My grandparents tested positive right after Thanksgiving, but we didn't go up there since they were not feeling well. Other than that, my orthodontist and his wife tested positive, but I haven't had/needed an appointment in quite a while. That is just about it.

It was a couple weeks after the New Year. My coach had a fever and felt achey. He said maybe it was the flu, but he got tested for COVID. He realized that he tested positive. He had a mild cough, but couldn't sleep at night. Also, he had to quarantine for 2 weeks so I couldn't train or play basketball with him. My uncle also got COVID but his case was worse. He couldn't breathe at all and had to go to the hospital. He was there for around 5 days, and actually caught pneumonia from it. Eventually he recovered, but it was a crazy week. All in all, these are some of the symptoms that I have noticed in people.

Many people who have had COVID have suffered from terrible symptoms ranging from fevers to dry coughs to headaches. When I had COVID, I had very mild symptoms, and I feel very lucky for that. The most I suffered from was a light headache and minor loss of smell, and that lasted only a few days in itself. My aunt on the other hand suffered from horrible symptoms. She had a fever 24 hours a day and couldn't even get out of bed; that's how sick she was. She got the worst end of the bargain. My dad, like me, had mild symptoms. Like me, his sense of smell was gone for only a little bit, but he had a horrible dry cough and a scratchy throat. Now, this may be because they are way older than me, but I still feel extremely lucky that my health didn't diminish. A lot of people have had horrible experiences with COVID, resulting in awful, long sickness, or even death, and I think that my experience with COVID was so much better. My heart goes out to those who are still suffering from this plague, and I recognize how fortunate I was to have had such little symptoms.

I do not know anyone that has COVID or that has gotten COVID. I know some symptoms of COVID which are chills, cough, difficulty breathing, muscle aches, and sore throat. There are many more symptoms but these were the mains ones that I know of. If I were to know someone that would have COVID, then I know that I would have to social distance from them for 2-14 days. I would have to talk with them through online devices which would not be as much fun than to socialize with them in life.

Some covid symptoms that i can think off are headaches and a fever. I also heard you get congested. I personally haven’t had covid but some of my friends and sister did. There symptoms and experience wasn’t too bad according to them but i know for elders and babies it can be fatal and very dangerous. That’s why it’s always important to make sure we stay safe about this virus and make sure to follow the right precautions just to make sure we are all safe.

On January 6th, I was planned to go back to school for the first time in forever. I was really excited because I haven't actually been in school since March. However, this was delayed, because both of my parents tested positive for COVID-19. Even though it wasn't dangerous to them, my parents experienced a lot of side effects. My dad was always coughing, sneezing, and had trouble sleeping, and was very fatigued. My mom had the same thing, but worst of all, she lost all of her smell and taste. Even though she doesn't have it anymore, she still cannot taste or smell, and she learned it can last up to three months after you have it! Luckily, not me nor my brother ever got it, but we are still being careful.

We think that my brother caught COVID. It was back in January or February of 2020. He was at USC which has a lot of students from around the world who went travelling for Christmas and returned to school afterwards. Because my brother was in dorms and was so close to other people, his exposure was high and he had really bad symptoms. We first thought it was just the flu, but it lasted for a month. He was nauseous and his appetite was ruined for a while after. The campus doctors at USC diagnosed it as 'an upper respiratory disease' which is exactly what COVID is.

Some Covid procedures are wearing a mask at almost all times outside. It makes sense and is helpful but I don't like wearing it. Wearing it for 7 hours at school hurts my ears, and exercising in one makes it hard to breathe. It is for our safety and our protection but it gets a little tedious. Social distancing is not very bad. Basically, as long as you are not giving high-fives and fist bumping, your fine. Some people take procedures more seriously than others, so it depends on who your with. Covid procedures make sense but can be a little annoying.

I had nobody in my family who got Covid-19 but my teacher got it and his symptoms were a Fever and a headache. My experiences are that my teacher has to zoom from home and he can't come back to school for a week to make sure he's safe and healthy we got to stay at school.

I kept in contact with my old school friends, and we always play video games and draw comics together. On January 5th, they asked, like usual, whether we have time to go to the park together. A girl name Siren said she couldn’t come because she got COVID. She took one week to recover; she told us that she was constantly coughing and uncomfortable to breathe. We just face-timed Siren on Tuesday and glad saw that she’s a lot better.

One of my friends I know got covid. He lives and London and got it from his brother. His brother was coming home from university and got it for the 2nd time and brought it home. His brother spread it to his dad and him, but not his mom or older brother. He wasn't sick and was A-Symptomatic. He recovered quickly and still has the antibodies. Another friend of mine got covid, Anna. She was very sick and had a fever, loss of smell and taste, and shortness of breath. She got better after 2-3 weeks, but she still can't smell or taste anything after 6 months.

One of my friends mom got Covid and she got very bad headaches and she couldn't taste anything. She also had to quarantine away from her family. Since she could taste anything would give her foods and spices that are very gross such as ginger with mayo and a blended up pizza and they had her eat it. That was one thing that happen to her but other than that she only got very bad headaches.

[REDACTED] Covid-19 has been a thing for quite a while now, and the vaccines for he virus had come out. On Thursday, when my _________ teacher, ______________, did his daily COVID-19 test, he came up negative for COVID-19, but on Friday, he came up positive, making anyone who was in his class on Friday need to stay at their homes for a week and a half. On the Zoom Room that he used to come into the class without actually being there, he discussed he had a light fever, and he coughed excessively. It was nothing bad in his case, and he will be able to survive it just fine, despite his age.

When you are given COVID-19, there are many symptoms you can have. Such of these are fevers, coughing, difficulty breathing, loss of taste or smell, etc. They are very horrible symptoms. My cousin and my teacher have both gotten COVID-19 and shown these symptoms. They are recovering and are good right now. However, we don't know the long term effects, and I hope they stay well for a long time.

One of my best friends got COVID-19, and he told me he coughed a lot and actually got bloody noses a lot as well, which was rare. He had to be quarantined for 14 days after he recovered. Thankfully, he didn't die and I am really happy. Additionally, he told me that he got it from family members, so that made me think that I should also social distance myself from my own relatives. Because of my friend, I learned a lot about COVID.

Fortunately, not very many people I know have gotten COVID-19. Maybe two or three people I know, at most, have tested positive since quarantine started. For my mom's birthday in the beginning of January, my parents decided to do a wine tasting event at our house. There was a moderate amount of people there, about twenty I'd say. My friend's parents were there and had just gotten back from visiting family in Ohio. My parents were sure to warn everyone invited that they may have been in contact with the virus during their traveling, but had not tested positive, yet. Unfortunately, a couple days after the party, almost their whole family had tested positive for COVID-19. Everyone that attended the party was on the lookout for potential symptoms afterward, as they have been in contact with the couple who tested positive. This couple had very minor symptoms and never felt severely unwell during the infection. Most people my family, friends, or family friends know that have gotten COVID have never experienced severe symptoms, but it's possible for them to become severe. Symptoms can consist of a fever or chills, coughing, shortness of breath/trouble breathing, fatigue, body aches, loss of taste/smell, sore throat, sinus congestion, nausea or vomiting, and/or diarrhea. I am thankful that my family and I have never gotten COVID and few people we know have.

Covid-19 has many parts to it but huge way we have been able to find out quickly if people have covid so we can quarantine them quickly is through the symptoms. Some major symptoms people might get after being exposed are Fever or chills cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, Sore throat and Congestion or runny nose. The symptoms are also helpful because they are different from symptoms from other viruses like the flue for example. Overall without the Symptoms we would have had much more trouble with Covid-19.

There are many symptoms to COVID-19. Some are worse than others and can also last longer or be more life threatening depending on the person and if they have any underlying conditions. Some of the symptoms can be loss of taste and loss of smell, a fever, headache. Covid 19 mostly affects your lungs, so if you have a hard time breathing that can be another symptom as well. I have had an experience with one of my close family members contracting covid. Covid in a way saved their life but at the same time almost ended it. Let me share my story. So my [FAMILY MEMBER] was happy and wasn’t aware of having any underlying conditions. He felt perfectly fine, he was in his 30’s i think and he said that but would felt tired and not motivated but he took that as a stage of getting older. When he got Covid he had a panic attack, he couldn't breathe and had to go to the hospital immediately. He was rushed to the ER and was put on a ventilator and other things as well. When doctors ran tests on him they found out he had covid, but the reason he had a hard time breathing was because supposedly his heart was only pumping with 10% of energy, somehow his heart wasn’t pumping fast enough so that is the reason he was feeling more tired and not motivated. The doctor told him that if he hadn’t got covid, because of his heart he could’ve died any second. That is why in a way Covid saved his life. But now he is happy and healthy and his heart is now working. That is how Covid has affected my family.

One of our close family friends has gotten Covid-19. We thought that the people that are close to us were never going to get the virus, but I guess we spoke too soon. We saw them three or four days at our house before they got the test rest coming back saying positive. We were terrified, so we stayed at home for 14 days. We were all right, but our family friend, not so much. He had a fever for two or three days, and finally, after the temperature went down, it came straight back up again the next day. He was really tired and had no energy to walk around his house. His body was aching and he had a lot of pain. Luckily, after a week of getting rest, he recovered from the virus.

The symptoms of COVID ranged from nonexistent to deadly. Most people who contracted it got flu - like symptoms which were fairly easy to deal with. Another large percentage of those who were infected didn't have symptoms at all. Those that remained were hospitalized and put on ventilators. Quite a number of these people died. 400,000 in America alone. I got COVID over Christmas break in 2020. The worst part of it, was being stuck at home the entire time. I was one of the lucky asymptomatic people along with my two younger brothers. My mom and dad got fatigue and my mom was pretty crabby on Christmas day. I was also lucky enough to get out of my period of isolation just in time for my return to in-person school. My poor five year-old brother had to wait nearly four weeks from his positive test to return to school, because of his unreasonable principle who clearly did not understand the CDC's guidelines for when a person tested positive. Overall, my experience with COVID was an easy one, made more enjoyable by the new games that had been received for Christmas.

During Thanksgiving, my grandparents got COVID-19. My family was going to meet with them for Thanksgiving, but since they had COVID-19, we decided not to. They got over it relatively easily. The only two ways it affected them was they lost their sense of taste and smell and they were very tired. Usually they get up at about 5:00 am and stay up until about 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm, but when they had COVID-19, they got up at about 9:00 am and could only make it to about 3:00 pm.

I have only had 1 family member get COVID-19. It was my great grandma (102) who passed a few days ago due to COVID-19. She had trouble breathing and One of the people in her home must have brought it to her. One of my teachers also got COVID-19. He said that he only had like a fever for a few days but still doesn't feel 100%. One of my friends family went to dinner with someone with the rona but didn't know at the time. They found out and freaked. Emily and I were at their house when they found out. They all got tested and were negative which made sense because none of them felt bad. My step-aunt and her house got COVID and they all had different symptoms. One kid lost taste and the other lost smell. My aunt got a fever and my uncle had trouble breathing. The symptoms of COVID-19 are all different.

The mild symptoms you might have from COVID is a fever or chills, cough, maybe fatigue too. They would also get muscle aches, sore throat or a runny nose. Some severe symptoms you might get are difficulty breathing, high fever, persistent pain in the chest, or an inability to stay awake or wake up. The mild symptoms you just need to stay home for but the severe cases you would have to go to urgent care for. An experience I've had with one of my relatives getting covid wasnt really serious. it was my uncle and he was dealing with it fine with no severe symptoms and he only had it for a couple days. After that, he just took the precautions until the doctor said he was ready to go out again. Now he can't have covid for about 4 more months.

There are many symptoms of Covid-19. My Nana got covid and here are the symptoms she had, she had a sore throat, and was coughing, she also had a little bit of a headache. Within about 2 to 3 weeks her symptoms were gone. What I've learned from people who have had covid is that it affects everyone very differently. These 3-year-old twin girls that I babysit got it and one of them just had a runny nose and the other didn't have any symptoms. However, the mom who also got it and lost her smell and taste and that's all the symptoms she had. Some other common symptoms are sore throat, headache, muscle aches, loss of taste and smell, cough, fatigue, and vomiting.

im really quite lucky to not have known many people with Covid-19, but there are a few people that I do know personally that have/had it. My friend avarie went to ohio for Christmas and on the trip back, they were starting to feel a little sick. they decided to go get tested and her mom was positive. she described feelings of shivers, runny nose, cough, sore throat, nausea, and feeling tires all the time. She was a very healthy person so it didn't affect her maybe as bad as it did others, but it was still bad.

2021-01-21
I mean I don't really have a personal story. But my buddy did get it and he says it's not that bad. He just has to stay at home for a while. The symptoms of Covid are as follows, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, New loss of taste or smell, Sore throat, Congestion or runny nose, Nausea or vomiting, and Diarrhea.

My dads friend had contracted Covid-19 some time around thanksgiving. At first he though he had bronchitis, but when he went to the doctor he was diagnosed with Covid. He had infected his entire family and they were quarantining, he felt tired and had a bad cough, but he got through it easy because he was in shape and young. It would be scary for my grandparents to contract it because I am almost positive they would pass away.

We have had and still have many rules and procedures during the corona virus pandemic. I have very much disliked some and appreciated others. One procedure that I have appreciated being online was having a very easy structure and schedule and one that I have not liked was having too much freedom during classes. Sometimes in class I would be lazy and not paying attention while in person you can't be relaxed on your comfortable chair with a blanket. One rule that I have appreciated was full time class, some schools do not have a full school day with merely one or two hours of classes. One rule that I have disliked is being in class the full 80 minutes and I lose attention span within that time frame. These are the rules and procedures I have experienced during the corona virus pandemic.

2021-01-19
Out of all Covids procedures quarantine has effected me the most. In the beginning it was so crazy to me because it was just something I saw in science fiction movies but I'm pretty used to it now. I miss going out with my friends like normal. I've only seen three of my friends during this whole thing because I know we've only seen each other. I don't know how I could handle this without them. School is very different although I expected it. We have to walk certain ways, have plexiglass between us and scatter the desks. I really don't mind wearing mask, it's not only for my safety but others. I don't think it's a big deal, honestly I don't understand why some people get so pressed about having to wear one. It makes me kind of uncomfortable talking about Covid and its procedures because everyone has their own thoughts about it and it tends to be set in stone. I make sure I follow all the procedures so we can get over this, I think even thought some are hard its what has to be done.

To help slow and ultimately stop the spread of the virus there are rules in place. One rule is to maintain six feet of social distancing. Social distancing is a good rule set in place. It is also an easy rule to uphold. Every open store or public place has social distance stickers placed six feet apart so that people are aware of whether or not they are socially distanced. Another extremely important rule right now is wearing a mask. Wearing a mask protects yourself and others. Masks are a part of everyday life in these times. These are very simple and effective ways to protect against Covid-19.
-
2021-01-20
Covid-19 brought all sorts of new safety precautions and guidelines. The biggest one being masks. Everywhere you go masks are completely mandatory. Stores, restaurants and businesses. It is not ideal because the masks are uncomfortable and sometimes makes it hard to breath. Although they have made face shields and breathable masks to help. Keeping your hands clean is super important for keeping you safe during this time. Social distancing was the most difficult rule of all. Quarantine was difficult because people missed friends and extended family. Months and months of online school and work was hard for everyone but now we are slowly going back to that way things were. Overall, Covid has brought new perspectives on how to keep everyone healthy and safe during times like these.

2021-01-20
As we all know COVID has been going on for a while now and many procedures have been put in place to help stop the spread. I agree with all of the procedures because I do think that they help us stay safe, but sometimes they do become a little annoying. For example, when I first heard about having to wear a mask everywhere that covers half of your face I was worried. I had never worn a mask before COVID had started, and when I would put on something like it, I would start to freak out because I would feel like I couldn't breathe. I have traveled back and forth a lot during the pandemic so I had to wear masks for 13 hours straight with no breaks. The first time I had to wear a mask felt weird and uncomfortable but I kept reminding myself that it was not that big of a deal and I could take it off soon. Months into the COVID pandemic wearing a mask had become a part of my daily routine. I started to not care about it because I had already gotten used to wearing them. Although I am still looking forward to when we don't have to wear masks and the pandemic is over, wearing one does not bother me anymore. Another procedure put in place was having to quarantine. Quarantine was not a big deal to me at all and I never understood why it annoyed so many people. I quarantined with my family and I do think that it brought us closer together in the end. Overall, all of the procedures put in place have helped us to stay safe, and it was something that we just had to get used to and accept as our new normal.

2021-01-20
All the new rules revolving around the virus have were strange to get used to but seem normal now. Wearing masks, social distancing, not seeing close people who. may be high risk, etc. If someone was to tell me this would be my life a couple years ago, I would never believe them. It sounds like a different planet, completely different from what I'm used to.
-
2021-01-20
I haven't gone back to school yet so there aren't many rules to follow. The first rule is to wear a mask around people and social distance. There used to be a curfew but that didn't last long. The last rule is we aren't allowed to have big gatherings.
-
2021-01-20
Here at oaks christian, they have made restrictions to the normal life I use to have at school. One rule that I have gotten used to is wearing a mask for the whole school day. We have to walk in on direction in the halls, which sometimes makes me late to my next class, or I get lectured by one of the traffic controllers. What makes me sad is thinking that for the rest of my life even when covid goes away, I will still see other people around me wearing a mask and being afraid.
-
2021-01-20
The rules that came with Covid are very different than normal life. It is considered lucky to get into a store in less than 5 minuted because of the lines. They only allow a certain amount of people in a store and you have to wear a mask at all times. Even when we are in a drive thru we still have to wear a mask. Wearing a mask is terrible. It's always itchy and you can't breathe.
-
2021-01-20
During covid a lot of new rules have come into place. The main one is masks. This rule just makes it so that we have to wear a face mask whenever we go into a public area. I feel like this rule is important because it slows down the rate of which covid is spreading. I also think that masks can be annoying sometimes but that putting up with it is worth it if it means that we can be more safe. Another new rule is social distancing. This is where we have to stay 6 feet apart from each other at all times. I also think this rule is important to stop close interactions since we never know who has covid and who doesn't. This rule is harder to follow though because it means that we have to reduce the number of people allowed in a store at one time.

For this assignment, we are required to share our feelings about the rules and procedures that we have to follow, not only at school but in our everyday lives. Depending on how long after this is being written that you are reading it, you may have heard of some of the guidelines, such as wearing masks and staying 6 feet apart. Honestly, I have no problem with either of these rules, but the effects that they have ended up having on me have been quite substantial, I cringe slightly whenever I see a movie with many people sitting close together without masks, I feel odd leaving the house without one as well. This has become a new normal, and I am truly not sure how easy it will be to adjust once this is all over.

2020-01-20
Before we all had to do this lockdown and have this be normal, we had to get used to some new rules to follow. First of all, we had to get used to wearing masks and now we cant go grocery shopping without one. Another thing they implemented was social distancing. We had to stay 6 feet from every other person around in lines to buy something, in classrooms, etc. We were all under lockdown and now we couldn't even go to school in person. We didn't know when we would be able to go places without a face covering and be able to go hang out and just go back to our normal lives. But we wanted this to happen quickly.

2021-01-20
This time of fear called the Coronavirus came with many rules and restrictions, many being annoying and unpleasant. During this epidemic we have had to wear masks to prevent us from spreading the disease through the air. Another restriction that have to follow is staying six feet apart from other people as to prevent getting the disease through close contact. At the time of writing this I would say that the whole world is sick and tired of having to seclude ourselves from other people. It has gotten to the point where many people are lonely and depressed.
-
2021-01-20
The rules I had to take during the pandemic were to stay inside don't go and don't do anything close to other people. we had this rule to not spread the virus whiched helped me because I have not gotten the virus.
-
2021-01-20
In quarantine, we have had to wear masks to avoid the spread of COVID-19. I agreed with the rule through most of 2020 but I have become angry at the fact that everything is still closed. We have flattened the curve as we were told to at the beginning but now we are just causing more homelessness and depression from quarantine and the loss of jobs. Other rules we must follow are those of eating outdoors and not having large gatherings. All these rules have one goal, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 but it is really getting annoying at this point.
-
2021-01-20
Since the beginning of Covid masks were a necessity I never minded them unless I was running or exercising still they were annoying at all times and I would have preferred without them. We also have to keep our hands clean and wash all the time for me this hasn't been a big change and unlike, others my hands haven't gotten terribly dry either. One more rule that has truly affected me is small groups of people and in those small groups 6 feet with masks on. This means I can't be with friends or at least I can't be with a lot of them at one time which has risen some complications. So all in all, I can manage through this but it does get annoying after a while.

2020-03-20
In my covid experience rules suck. At the beginning of quarentine my mom found out that the Virus was airborne. So, she did not let us go outside for a month. I had to wear a mask all Christmas Eve. I also had to socially distance Christmas morning. My family to be safe abbides by a ton of rules during quarentine.

During the pandemic, there are rules that people are required to follow in California. Some of these rules are incredibly stupid, and some actually make sense. There was a rule for Thanksgiving that you were not allowed to sing. There was also a rule that you could have less people in a party or holiday than a funeral. These rules I find to be incredibly ridiculous, however I do think some rules are noteworthy as being fair to a pandemic, such as social distancing or washing your hands.
