COVID-19 Journal
I am very uncertain as to what to write in these journal entries or what people will want to see years from now when they are learning about the COVID-19 pandemic. I don’t know if anyone will even read this. I have never kept a journal or log, but with the events going on in the world right now I feel like I should.

We are all supposed to be in quarantine but I feel like people are not taking seriously. Today at work people were just coming in to get out of the house. -
