  Statistics and Final Thoughts of Covid

  World Wide there has been 102 million cases of covid. In January 2020 there was about 282 cases. Around May 28 there was about 100,000 new cases worldwide and then around July 20 there was around 300,000 new cases world wide. December 31 there were 700,000 new cases and this month there was over 2 million cases. This virus affected me in that I couldn't see my grandma and I couldn't see my friends. I also couldn't go to school so we have online school and I do not like it at all.

  Learning Patience at Lunch

  This is a picture of the Chick-fil-a drive-thru in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. In an effort to abide by social distancing rules, I avoided going out to public places for the past two weeks but needed a small reprieve from isolation and went to get lunch on April 18, 2020. While the restaurant is usually very busy, I had never seen it this busy. The line wrapped around the building and out into the road into the turning lane leading to their parking lot. Although I am not a traditionally patient person, I realized that everyone was going through a similar experience and we were all in search or some sense of normalcy, or at least a chicken sandwich. I learned to be patient that day and appreciate the fact that Chick-fil-a was open when many places are not. Patience is something I think we have all learned in this process and I found it ironic that a fast food restaurant could teach me something I have struggled with almost thirty years. Taking the time to be appreciative of what we do have is far less exhausting than focusing on what we are without.
