  Coughing Meme

  This meme just describes how vigilant people have become over health and the spread of germs after the start of the covid-19 pandemic. Little things like a cough would rarely phase anyone before 2020; now, any method that could spread germs catches everyone's attention. This is important to me because it shows how I've become after the pandemic; I'm a lot more cautious of myself and hygiene and of others around me.

  Symptoms of Covid-19

  My neighbor got Covid last month and he was tired and in bed for a couple of days. Also, he did not feel 100%. When he was not sick anymore he looked great and you could not tell he had Covid. I felt sad when my neighbor got Covid but I was sure he would recover fine. it taught me to be more cautious to not get the virus too.

  Cause of Corona

  The first thing that I heard this virus to be caused by is from a lab in China. Some other assumptions I heard about were, bats, the black market, not going to church, etc. I actually thought that this would be a month at most and everyone was over-reacting but that was definitely not the case. I think that the virus started at its origin in China, but was spread person by person, country by country until it has become a world wide pandemic. This virus didn't scare me like it should have when it first came around but corona still doesn't scare me. I am not afraid or paranoid, more like cautious. I do be that it came from a lab in China and spread person to person, country to country to become world wide.

  Feelings Of Being Quarantined

  Being self isolated is pretty hard for me, but somehow I'm a natural at being self isolated. All I do now is just hangout in my own room. I do all of my classes through Zoom and I also do homework on my laptop as well. I also solve Rubik's cubes and play video games as well in my spare time. I'm really trying my best to avoid going outside until this virus dies out and I'm being very cautious on what I'm doing so I don't end up getting the virus.

  Gloves in the parking lot

  I went to the grocery store for the first time in a week and when I returned to my car I noticed someone had discarded a pair of gloves on the ground in the parking lot. Some people have taken to wearing surgical masks and latex style gloves anytime they are out in public.
