  Symptoms of Covid-19

  Some symptoms of Covid-19 that I know of are a fever, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell, fatigue, vomiting, etc. I know multiple people that has contracted Covid-19 in my life such as my uncle, my aunt, and my cousins. I was shocked that they actually got Covid-19, and even now they are still recovering. Also, my history teacher tested positive for Covid-19 a couple days ago. He said that he and his family are feeling better. I am very glad that most people who get Covid-19 recover fully. Overall, I am really afraid for my parents, my grandparents, and my family. Covid-19 is spreading quickly, but I am very thankful that the people in my family who tested positive, are now feeling better. I hope more people will recover from this virus and be stronger from it too!

  A Troubled Case

  This scene happened outside my house in the early days of the pandemic. My brother noticed a was car parked outside of our house for multiple hours, and was starting to get suspicious. I thought nothing of it, until two police cars pulled up beside it. After talking for a while, 3 more police cars and an ambulance showed up. It was quite the scene. After more talking, the man in the vehicle was eventually arrested and taken away. It turns out that the man inside was certain he had the Covid virus, and did not want to go home to his family. He had nowhere else to go, and it was a cold night, so he tried to park his car on our street and sleep there. It seemed like a valiant thing to do in my opinion. But, for whatever reason (there was probably more details we were not told), he was arrested, and his car was towed. It made me think: should he have been allowed to just sleep there? Was he doing anything wrong? I can't even imagine being too scared of yourself harming someone that you can't even go home. It was certainly a night to remember.
