  COVID 19: Beginning Impressions

  When I first heard about Covid 19, I heard many... "interesting" theories on how it first came to be. These ranged from secret labs on the other side of the world to aliens from outer space. Of course, I didn't really believe most of these, but then again, I didn't know what believe. Since then, I haven't really put a lot of thought into the origin of the virus, because I've been more focused on avoiding the sickness itself. As of now, I believe what the majority of medical experts are saying, which is that it most likely started in animals such as bats or pangolins. However, after this assignment, I think I will keep tabs on what is being said about COVID-19's beginning from now on.

  Life Just Before COVID-19

  At the start of February, life was perfectly normal. We went out somewhere fun every week, and had a lot of laughs. We visited my grandparents very often, and played with their dogs a lot. We even went shopping all together as a family. I had no idea what COVID-19 was, and the first time I heard about it was when my friend texted about it randomly. I wondered what he was talking about, but didn’t pay too much attention to it at the time. Suddenly, my way of life changed. Going outside was dangerous. Hand sanitizers were worth their weight in gold, and stores having stock was a thing of the past. My life would never be the same.
