My first day of online school was March 18th 2020. It was the second semester of my 7th grade year. Using zoom was not as difficult as I expected and it helped that we used axis instead of google classroom. WIFI was not a very common issue for me but other student had constant problems. The first few months took a lot of learning but towards the end I got the hang of it. I started my 8th grade year on zoom. I was already used to online because of the pervious year so I was okay with it. First period began at 8 AM and most days I woke up at 7:45. It was nice getting done with class before the actual period ended because I could do my own thing off zoom. It gave me a longer break between periods. To be honest it was hard to stay on task and motivated because it a completely different environment that in person school. When my microphone or camera didn't work it was frustrating but not the biggest deal. It was slightly disappointing to have so many projects changed. I had seen the 8th graders years before do it so it was a bummer to have it altered.

Almost my whole 2020 was in online school. I would wake up later in the morning, have breakfast, brush my teeth, and start school from my room. It was much easier than in-person. I would be on Zoom most of the day, and stay on my computer after school to do homework. Most of my day is in my room. There were some benefits to this, however. I could go do something right after school instead of having to drive home and all that. It was easier because everything was on the computer. But I didn't like it too much because I didn't get to see my friends and I just like being in-person more. Overall, you get used to it after a while, but I still prefer in-person school. It wasn't really that bad, it just could be boring.

The year started out like any other. We were all in class together enjoying to company of friends and teachers. We had hear of a disease spreading on China but nobody was even worried about it. The disease began to spread more and more into the world, and eventually, in the the USA. One the Corona Virus had reached the United States it started to become a more serious problem. But it wasn't untill we had our own cases in LA and Vetura county that things really changed. On March 15, 2020 we started our romote learning. It was a big change we had to get used to. It was mostly downsides but there were some upsides aswell. One of the upsides was we had more freedome in what we could do durring our breaks. When we were in school we only had a selection of activities to do, but since we were home we could do many different things that weren't at school. Another upside is that we didn't have to spend the time driving so we could wake up later and get to doing our activities earlier after the school day ended. That was pretty much it for the upsides however and now we must talk of the downsides. W weren't able to see any of our friends from school anymore! That was a bummer because it made me feel distant and disconected fro the society at school. Another downside was that it was alot harder to understand things in class. We had to make sure we found the assignments online instead of just being handed then=m in class with direct instruction. This factor made it hard for me sometimes to understand what was due the next day and what we had to do for homework. These are the biggest downsides, but there are many more I haven't mentioned in this single article.

My experience with virtual learning during this pandemic hasn't been the most positive. Gosh, it's been almost 10 months since we started. The beginning was exciting I guess because I thought it was just a break from the normal, boring school day. But, boy was I wrong. After a while, the routine of waking up, doing school, going to sleep was getting very repetitive. Don't get me wrong, I liked not having to wake up at 6:30 every single morning, but I started to get angsty. I felt like I wasn't focusing on schoolwork and tests as I should have been, and I definitely did not retain any of the information that I was taught. After a while, I not only was bored and anxious, but I was also very lonely too. I did not like the fact that I didn't get to socialize with my school friends and teachers every single day. On top of that, I wasn't allowed to see my friends yet because my parents were very strict. Summer was even worse. At least I had a day to day schedule with online school, but when it came to summer, I had nothing to do. By end of June, I was allowed to hang out with friends again, but it wasn't the same. This year, I actually transferred to a new school for 8th grade. That would normally be hard because I am socially awkward, but the fact that we didn't even go in person made it far worse. It took me a while to feel comfortable in all of my classes and meet people. Also, it was a really big change because I used to go to public school and we only had 2 hours a day of online school, but at my new private school, we had school from 8-2:45 every day. Although it is what I would normally do in person, it felt like a large shift from before, and I thought I was going to fall behind. Thankfully, I met a lot of people who helped me adjust just fine. Now, it is January and we are back in person. Although online school was a struggle, it made me realize how much I took school for granted. I think it also helped us grow and mature greatly.

it was march 18th we started online school. none of knew what we were doing we just logged onto zoom. it was confusing because we didn't know what to do if we had ask a questions or if we had to go to the bathroom. I think my favorite thing from online school was defiantly getting to make my own lunch. I had sat at my dining room table just doing school work. it was hard for teachers to find stuff for us to do like in rocketry we just watch movies.i finally went back to school and started in person. one of my favorite things was waking up at 7:50 and going to school at 8. and that was my virtual learning experience.

While learning virtually, I got to wake up at 7am instead of 6am because there was no commute. I set my alarm on my clock that also doubles as a radio, so when the alarm goes off it plays whatever station the radio is on. I have it set as a classical music station. I would get dressed, go downstairs, and wait while doing something such as YouTube. Most mornings I didn't have breakfast before my first class. I logged onto my computer and to ZOOM at 7:55, 5 minutes before my class started. After my first 80 minute class, I would eat some breakfast at around 9:20 and then do my next two before lunch. Something that was good about being online was getting to wake up later than normal. However, one challenge was getting distracted while in class. Since the teachers couldn't see what I was doing I often would read in class or do something else with my hands. I also enjoyed the fact that online classes could and often would be let out early, something that can't happen in person.

Learning virtually was very strange and had many advantages and disadvantages. Every day I got on zoom from my bedroom from March 18 to about December with the exception of summer. Some advantages about it were that I didn't have to wake up as early to drive to school and that I can do school from the comfort of my room. Some disadvantages however were I couldn't hang out with my friends or talk very much, and I personally found it really hard to pay attention because each period was about an hour and 20 min on the computer and my grades weren't as good because I had a hard time not zoning out. And on top of that nearly everything was closed down from restaurants to malls and other places to hang out, exc. I prefer learning in class than virtually because I can hang out with my friends and I pay attention better in school.

Online school did not start until two weeks after school was canceled in school. My previous school I attended for the first half of school had no idea on what to do so I never really had anything to do or, if I did it was very easy. I never really learned anything during online school but how to join a zoom for the first time. The next school year though, I had zoom everyday in my room. I was very behind thought because I learned nothing the end of last year. Now currently I am in school but covid safe, and is back to learning at a new school.

It started in March 18. The death of me. Online school... staring at a computer for 7 hours a day. My eyes hurting after each day. My mind racing at all times on other things. I sat at my desk in my room. I had barely any social interactions with my friends. All I could do was FaceTime or text them. The one nice thing about online school is waking up at 7:50 everyday. I also liked that during my breaks I could just shoot outside on my court at my house. Other than that, I am glad we are back in person school.

Every day I woke up at about 7:45 am and school started at 8 am. I brushed my hair and brushed my teeth, put a sweatshirt on, and joined my zoom class. The benefits of this online learning were that I could get up a lot later than I normally would have for in-person school. I usually wake up at 6:45 am for in-person school. I also got to leave classes early when I finished my assignment and it was very nice. All of my assignments were usually finished by 3 pm that day. I had lots of problems with wifi though and it wouldn't let me access tests/quizzes and homework assignments. Also whenever I used OneNote, it deleted all of the work that I had written in.

When COVID_19 started to hit California I was in my second semester of 7th grade. On March 13, 2020 my school announced that we were closing down and switching to online learning. That last day of normal school we prepared our zoom meetings, schedules, and we said our goodbyes. At first everyone thought we were shutting down for two weeks, like and extended spring break. Who knew it would go on for 11 months. My first online school day was wake up 10 minutes before my first class, eat breakfast, and log on at 8am. Simple right? No my wifi decided to shut off and I couldn't attend my first zoom meeting. I email my teacher and got it figured out. I have 3 more classes that day and by the end it felt weird. That same feeling went on for about 4 months. I would facetime my friends every night and talk about our computer issues. Then it started to become normal. The last day of 7th grade I pressed "End meeting" and said wow that was really 7th grade. It felt like something was missing. Summer came and it was very boring, I was excited to even go on a walk. 8th grade rolled around and we were still online. It was my new normal and so I didn't mind it. I was missing my friends more than ever though. I got through the semester and I went to Colorado for winter break. After I got home my school announced we were going back. I was very excited. I thought everything was going to go back to normal besides wearing masks. The first day was very weird we stayed 6 feet apart, my dance class was outside, my hands were dry from hand sanitizer. It was very crazy, but overall I am very thankful to be back and school and have human interaction again.

While virtual learning from home my experience was very interesting it wasn't fun but it was also really boring sometimes. My routine would be to wake up grab breakfast grab my computer and started zooming online. I once did school in Utah which was pretty fun. The benefits of being online were probably being able to wear sweatpants all day and eating food when I wanted to and also probably not waking up as early and the obstacles of being online where I felt like I didn't get the full feel of being at school because we were virtual learning and also I couldn't see any of my friends.

Quarantine makes people stay at home, especially for students. During this particular time, schools provided us remote learnings. We discovered many technologies online, and it also made turning in assignments easier. On the other hand, students spent too much time on electronics during remote learning, and collaboration is always difficult.

When I first started online school in march I thought we would be off-campus for 3 or 4 weeks, and then we would go back. I didn't know much about covid-19, so though I would still be able to see my friends. We had plans to do online school at each other's house, and hang out all the time. We went into a state-wide lockdown 2 days after and I wasn't allowed to go anywhere or hang out with anyone. It was fun at first, we watched shows, we did puzzles, we cooked a lot. But once we hit late may and I still hadn't seen my friends, I was getting really sad. As for online school. I thought it was nice because I didn't have to get up so early. The first week or so, we got up I got dressed, I did my hair, but they somewhere along the way. I rolled out of bed, still in my pajamas, and turned my video off. During classes, I was always so bored because school wasn't really interesting because we weren't learning as much. I was fine with online it was just the fact that I wasn't eating lunch with my friends anymore, or that I couldn't talk to them during passing periods, but I did love being able to eat in class or getting a snack whenever I wanted. It was also hard in the fact you couldn't really get one on one help with the teacher.

During the quarantine, we still had to go to school, so we switched to remote learning. Using a meeting application called Zoom, we could talk to each other and continue our classes. We would start every day at 8:00 and end every day at 2:45. Our classes were divided into A days and B days. Half our classes were on A days, and the other classes on B days. We would get breaks between classes which was a total plus. However, we also had to adapt to something new and strange. It was hard but a great learning experience. Overall, online learning was hard to get used to, but it will be a useful skill to know in the future.

It has been a few months now since I 1st started Online Learning. How it would work is all the students would enter a ZOOM Room online with a provided URL. (ZOOM does not mean anything in particular, other than it being a company name) We had the ability to mute our mics so others in the room would not be able to hear us, we could turn off our cameras to not be able to be seen, and other small things which barely anyone used. Every day that I would need to enter a ZOOM Room for educational purposes, I would create a routine. I wake up 7:00 AM PST (Pacific South Time), relax and make sure any and all work that needs to be done is complete, eat breakfast, change (if needed), and went onto my computer to enter the room at the given time. Whenever I had a break, I would relax and take a snack if I felt hungry and waited for the next given time. This worked wonders, and felt super relaxing for a Monday. Although Virtual learning through ZOOM is far more relaxing and free, you can't learn as well, since there are most likely more distractions around you, you can't ask questions nearly a easily, and being in the classroom zones you into the lesson more.

This year because of covid most of the students had to do virtual learning. I personally love doing online school, because I'm a lazy person. When you wake up everyday, you only need to open up your computer and login on to zoom. But for regular school I had to wake up at 6 every single day because I live far away from my school, this isn’t fun at all. And another thing l love for online school is that you can eat during classes and on one will see it, at school if you got caught eating during class, you will definitely get in trouble.

Doing school online was a crazy experience that I will not forget. I did all of my class on my apple laptop on zoom. I was able to go on zoom in different places such as Utah, Arizona, friends houses, and just different room in my house. It was fun because i could wake up and just go to my computer, i wouldn't have to get ready for school. It also sucked cause i couldn't see my friends and it was hard to learn and pay attention online. That was about everything that happened during online school.

Learning virtually was definitely a change. It was hard to get used to at first. There are sone benefits of learning online. All your classes are right infront of you and with a click of a button your are in your class. Also, all of your supplies are on your desk, so you dont have to carry any books or anything to class. But, there were also some downsides. Not being able to see my teachers and friends was hard. Teaching a class online is also definitely harder and there are many distractions when it comes to online school. Changing to the block schedule was also difficult. We used to have all 7 periods in 1 day, but now we have 3-4 classes a day and they are twice as longer. It is hard sitting on a chair for an hour and a half for each period.

When I got the news that my school would be shutting down on March 6, 2020, I thought it would be only for a few weeks. Little did I know that it would be months before even being able to see friends. Looking back, zooming in to classes in 7th grade was crazier than 8th grade, as I was learning the routine. I remember not knowing how to go to Gallery view, so whenever someone spoke I would have a massive head on my screen. It always made me laugh. After about a month, I started to get the hang of things, and I was even enjoying it! I had a routine. 7:30: wake up, shower, get dressed. 7:50, sit in my chair and watch Youtube until class started. I noticed that my grades were increasing, and I had better sleep schedules! I also was getting better lunches than I did at school, although school lunches at my school are amazing! I remember I asked my dad if he could do a Meatball Sandwich, and it was the best thing I ever ate while in Science! To be honest, I enjoyed online school more than in person school, but now, in the month of January 2021, I am missing seeing friends and teachers in person.

Covid-19 reset everything for me. School, weekends, shopping, restaurants and so much more. So I had to take a step back and recreate my routine for school to follow the new normals for me during Covid-19. I started off from the first thing I do everyday. Getting ready for school. Now that I don't have to drive or pack my bag anymore I now allocated this time as extra/backup time for homework. For the most part things should be the same material wise but I need to make new home for my books so I can stay organized with all my class. The last thing I need to recreate for School is what should is what I should during my break and lunch. I thought of some ideas that did not do with electronics and came up just talking with m y family or working ahead on homework. In conclusion, I think recreating my routine was very substantial and don't regret one bit of it.

When my school shut down in March, I welcomed remote learning. My life had become so busy and stressful and I never got enough sleep. I would be a nice two week break before I went back to school for the last two months of school. I had no idea how wrong I was. Within 4 days, the novelty had worn off. The long hours (5 1/2) on Zoom were horrible. English was the worst. We were reading Shakespeare (in 7th grade!) and it move so slowly. Being the fast reader that I was it was my worst nightmare reading at this slow, slow pace. We had 80 minutes of class. We spent all of those 80 minutes reading and only got through 5 pages. We had a block schedule. Four classes one day and three the next with chapel. For the last three months of seventh grade, I sat at a picnic table in my parent's room. I got one half and my brother got the other. During these three months I was miserable. Three days after the end of school I got a new bed for my room. It was a loft and it had a desk underneath. All summer I would do something educational at this desk for three hours, eat lunch, workout, and go outside to hang out. All that summer, all the kids in the neighborhood wanted to do was Nerf war. I was lucky that the summer before I had received a pink and purple strongarm with pink and white bullets. These six bullets were quickly lost in the grass and replaced with some of my friend's classic orange and blue ones. When summer was over I had to go back to my desk for those 5 1/2 hours a day, except this time I would have homework. The previous year the teacher had done their best to make sure that we didn't have to do work outside of class (my English teacher of course made no effort to do this). Now I was in 8th grade with one of the hardest possible course loads. I was taking Geometry, Conceptual Physics, Spanish 2, and all of the other required classes. I would regularly work for an hour and an half after school before working out. I would do yoga or a random HIIT or strength class I found on Peloton. During all of my breaks I would walk my dog (a yellow lab puppy). In October, we got a Peloton stationary bike and my brother got to go to school to do his Zoom classes (weird, I know). Now I would be home alone from 9am to 11:30am every day. My schedule looked like this. 6:45 - get up and get ready for school 8 - go to my first class 9 - walk my dog and practice piano 9:45 - go to my next 2 classes 12:35 - lunch 1:25 - my last class 4 - workout I was glad when it was over. Now that I think about it, I didn't actually list any benefits.

Virtual learning was easy for me, but I did not like it. I do not like having to do things on my computer, and I did not learn as well as I did previously. However, I learned many things that I usually would not have learned such as keyboard shortcuts, ways to access things on my computer more quickly, and many other computer skills. I learned how to type more quickly, I learned the better ways to take pictures for a clearer image, and I got into a few fields of learning that I never would have tried. Even though 2020 was a difficult year, it taught me many good skills and lessons. After 2020, I have become a much more well-rounded person.

routines before Covid were easy because they where every day. routines during covid were different because. the world closed down most off the sports programs, and restaurants and even grocer stores. people had to stay ind=side other wise they would be fined a lot of money. our family had to shop from Amazon for the first couple months. I play a lot of sports, like baseball, football, tennis, golf, and swimming sports. all those sports were canceled due to covid. then after that you have nothing to do.

This is how my life was during online learning. I normally would wake up at around 7:50, I feel tired and exhausted and not motivated to do anything, I just want to go back to sleep. I do my first class and then have breakfast. My breakfast gives me some energy but not that much. I then just finish the rest of my classes and then have lunch and do homework. When i was going online school it just felt that life was on repeat, like there was no other thing I could do. I wouldn’t see any friends which made me feel that I had to talk to people a lot so I would video call people all the time after class, but I wouldn’t see them in person like normal. I never was motivated to do online school and only did it since it was school. I just felt tired, I was annoyed that I couldn't see any of my friends and I just felt constrained to my computer, as if I was locked in my room and I had nowhere else to go. Some of the benefits of online learning was the fact that I would be able to travel to another state and then still be able to do school like everyone else. Also I was able to make my schedule however I wanted it to be since I was online. I also liked the fact that I could get closer with my family since I was with them stuck in the house for a long time. So there are a good amount of benefits of online learning, but going to school on campus is way better, believe me.

For my routine, I would usually wake up about 5 minutes before class had actually started. Between classes I just laid on my bed, doing whatever on my computer like games, youtube, but never homework until the next class. Then at lunch I would go downstairs to eat whatever was ready or anything my dad or mom had gotten. Eating lunch would usually take me about 15 minutes and then afterwards I went back upstairs to take a nap for the remainder of the time. Everything felt so slow and so boring and I felt like I wasted my time. The benefits of virtual learning are only not having to wake up at 6:30 and being able to stay home. The cons were it was boring, I had no motivation for anything, and probably just everything mentally and emotionally sucked. I just did whatever I was supposed to, and then maybe baseball practice after school. That was mostly all I did.

When remote learning started due to COVID-19 and having to quarantine, I didn't think much of it. I figured we'd be back in school within months and it wouldn't be very different online. . . little did I know how much I was missing. Now that I am back in school after winter break, I'm realizing what it's like at school with friends and being able to see people. Materials aren't easily accessible, internet connections can be unstable, and there are a lot more distractions at home than at school in-person, but there are benefits, as well. I can work on my own time at my own pace, I am more organized as I am at home, I don't have to get ready before school, allowing me to sleep in, and I can eat whenever I'm hungry. There's a slight luxury with remote learning, but it doesn't compare to being at school in-person.

My experience with remote learning is better than I thought it would be. In the beginning, when everyone was adjusting to going to zoom meetings for every class and have to get supplies from school to do at home. I feel like I used my printer more in the past month than the past year, printing out papers and sheet music that would usually be handed in class. But I enjoyed working at home in some parts. For example, everything I needed was right there next to me and I didn’t have to worry about losing it (for the most part). Online learning also made me rely on myself and remembering all of my assignments and their due dates. I feel like my self-control improved a lot in the past few months. Online classes are not the best, but I am glad that everyone made them work.

In the beginning, I got up earlier for school at 7:15 because school started at 8. In the end, I got up at 7:50, because I got so bored of looking at my computer and didn't want to get up. It was good because I could hang out with my mom or sisters during the day. That was also the worse too, I got so sick of seeing the same people everyday. I think that the worst part of online school was that you didn't interact with anyone. I also didn't like being on my computer/zoom all day, because it got so boring. Also if you had a question about homework you had to email your teachers and sometimes they didn't reply until after the homework was due. I have to admit that our school made it very easy, but stilll had us engaged the whole time. It had its pros and cons.

So basically my routine is to do school. My experience doing online is absolutely horrible. I’m pretty sure my laptop is cursed. I wake up around 7:50 I get on my laptop and get on Axis. Then I hop on zoom and not even 10 minutes in I get kicked off. It’s so bad we had to get an Ethernet cable for school. And it was still bad!! Overall online school had its ups and downs. I was pist that zoom kept crashing but I was happy that I was working out of the comfort of my own home.

Learning remotely was a lot different than learning at an actual school. I didn't like learning virtual very much and I like learning at school much better. However, there were some benefits like sleeping in and having longer breaks. I did not like doing everything on my laptop because it is not good for your brain and it makes your eyes really tired. My days were very boring and I didn't get to socialize with my friends. I stayed home all day and most of my day was spending time on my laptop or phone. On a normal day, I would wake up and then get ready and then get on my laptop and do school and eat lunch and then stay home for the rest of the day.

When it was March, i first heard about this Virtual learning and i was very confused on how that would work. For the first 3 months of quarantine, i was at my dads in Northern California and thats where i started virtual learning and ended 7th grade. Virtual learning in the beginning was actually really fun. but as it progressed, it started to be emotionally and mentally draining. i wasnt taking care of myself and it became too much. so at the beginning of 8th grade, i decided to try and get myself back together. learning online was sometimes a struggle, like when we needed a paper we would have to print it or we would have to write everything down. it was often that i didn't really learn anything. it was a lot harder to learn online then i expected. although it was nice being home everyday, i found myself often in my bed and turning off my camera. yes, there are some negatives to virtual learning but, there are a lot of positives also. i stayed healthy. i didn't get sick which was the best positive that i could get. my grades werent as bad as i thought they were. i just needed to slow down and pay attention.

So basically, I was in school on Friday March 13th 2020. I remember very vaguely but in my last class I think it was, there was a huge announcement on the tvs. it said "Covid 19 outbreak" and I just remember what I was thinking what this was. I honestly had no clue what it was and where it came from. The joy of every kids having no school on March 13th. Little did we know, it was the start of the end of the world.

To be honest, this Christmas break i didn't do much. I normally hang out with friends and go on bike rides and just have fun. This time though, i didn't do that. I really just played video games with friends and spent time with family. Although I went to get my haircut and I did see David Price. (A former Dodgers Pitcher). So ya, thats my break, not too interesting.

I'm not exactly sure how the coronavirus started, however I believe it has been spread by an animal such as mosquitoes and yellow fever. I'm certainly not the most qualified person to ask but I do believe that it is a worthy theory because many other diseases and viruses are spread through animals.

My Christmas looked very different this year. I still got to see some of my family but most of them did not feel comfortable traveling. We had a zoom call for some of our family on the east coast and in England and they got to watch us open presents on Christmas morning.

When Covid was new, no one really knew much about it. When it came out they were a lot of rumors talking about how dangerous the virus was. Also talking about how the virus was created. The biggest rumor was that a man in china decided that he would eat a bat and because of that he got covid from eating the bat, then he spread it to a lot of people, this is how it was said covid was spread all around the world. When is started I didn't really think about it that much, I felt like people were over exaggerating it (and I still do). I honestly wasn't sure if the virus was even real and it may have been a hoax. Now that we have had covid for about a year these are my thoughts about it. I am honestly not sure how the virus was created, people say it was still from china, other people say it was created in a lab by the government so it's hard to say what is truth and what is false. I understand that for people that have underlying conditions this virus can be deadly but I honestly think and flu or cold can be deadly in various levels. I do think it is good to wear a mask and to say social distance for peoples protections but I do feel like shutting down economy was something that wasn't needed as it has closed down many restaurants and stores, etc. Those are my thoughts about covid one year ago and my thoughts about covid now.

From the beginning of this pandemic it has been said that bats were the cause of this virus. This is similar to other coronavirus sicknesses. With more and more research of Covid-19 I have learned more about the novel coronavirus. I learned more about the efficacy of different masks and how they protect against the airborne travel of the virus. My understanding of how the disease spreads grew during the course of the pandemic. The information about the cause remained the same.

When i first heard of covid, i didn't think much of it. I heard it was something in china and i didn't expect it to spread anywhere. Then i heard that it came to America and our school started discussing going online if it got bad. My school finally decided to go online and we started school from home and i have been doing it for almost a year now.

I think the cause for covid is the meat markets in China which were very dirty and many species were brought there including sick animals. There was also not very many precautions to prevent diseases or viruses from spreading from animals to humans. This caused the outbreak that spread around the world.

Covid had just started, and I was hearing news of a virus outbreak and places shutting down. In 2019 in Wuhan China there were rumors about someone eating a bat going around. The theory was that a man had eaten a bat and got sick and then spread it to other people. Another theory was about a laboratory in China. Many people including myself thought that inside a laboratory nearby there was some kind of explosion and the chemicals had made people sick. My beliefs haven't changed since then because I haven't heard a lot of new theories about how it had started. Overall, both of these theories do not seem too realistic and I was shocked when I found out about the possible reasons.

I have heard a lot of deferent ways that are very interesting. One theory is that people were eating animals such as bats that were carrying the virus. I thought it was a joke when I first heard it cause it seams silly, but it is true from what I heard. When I heard it I was confused on why people were eating bats.

When I first heard of COVID I was told that it was because someone in China ate a bat and got a virus from it that quickly spread from human to human. I also heard later that it had something to do with a chemical explosion. I believe it was more likely to be because of some sort of chemical reaction. I found out about COVID from my sisters in early January and thought that nothing was going to happen until we started going into quarantine and people started to refusing to wear masks and social distance it made me realize that it was more serious that I thought.

When the virus first started, rumors and theories raced around the globe about this new illness affecting certain areas of China. New ideas stormed everywhere regarding the cause of the virus. Many believed that it started in a market serving animals like bats. Others believe it escaped from a laboratory. Overtime not much has changed since the beginning of the virus and I am still unsure on what I think the true cause of the virus is, I think it is entirely possible that it could have come from a laboratory studying something close.

So, the first thing I heard to be the cause of the virus was because of someone eating a bat. A BAT!!! I thought that the person that did it went cookoo for coco pops or something because of all things they could've eating it was a bat! I guess he wanted to be like Ozzy Osborne or something. "Surprisingly", it was just a false rumor but at the time it was all over TikTok (probably the most popular social media out there now) and people where making memes and jokes about it too that were hilarious! A lot of people believed it but i'm not so sure what made them think that. All in all, it was just a very odd assumption that really got people talking.

In my own opinion, I believe that due to the lack of money and help from the government the Chinese had to resort to extreme means to feed themselves and their families. This is in no way their fault and probably is our fault as America and richer countries to not help and aid them. So from the lack of money in the slums of China, I think they had to eat not clean and weird things to stay alive which transmitted the virus from an animal to a human.

Infected bat infects people

I believe that Covid was started in all of the dirty towns of China. I think that because of the unsanitary conditions. Bacteria could have easily collected there, creating this contagious virus. Because it is a frequent place of visitation, it easily spread to mass quantities of people, who did not quarantine themselves. It then spread to America from trade. Because there is much a large trade between the US and China, it was perfect for the virus to spread.

When I first learned there was a virus going around I heard that someone in either the government or a high place started it for population control. At the time(and maybe still right now) there was higher population of seniors than children. Covid was originally affecting seniors so I believe this argument.

Many different people have talked about what they think caused the pandemic Covid-19. Personally, trying to take into account both sides, I would think the virus was manufactured in a lab in Wuhan China. I believe that this virus was a result of an attempt at biological warfare. Though this is a common belief, there is no real way to prove any guess or theory.
