#JOTPY Silver from Liam Sutphin

I learned how much of a shift in norms a pandemic can cause. Now, when I watch old TV shows and people cough all over someone or spend a lot of time in public while sick, it freaks me out and seems so gross. I never felt that way about those things before COVID.

Now vs. Before COVID

My life before COVID was just going to school, sports (tennis and dance), then going home to eat dinner and going to bed so I can repeat the process the next day. Now during COVID I wake up and go straight to my computer to start school, after I finish school I practice online dance lessons and sometimes play tennis and then I eat dinner and go to bed. I think I knew things were going to change when my sisters school shut down and my friends and I started talking about this new disease that is spreading.
