I blame the quarantine, I have been out of school I believe since the 19th of March two days earlier than the Coronavirus 19 because I wasn’t feeling to well. Than all of a sudden the world was shutting down before my eyes at 1st I thought it was a joke not real I kept telling my granny and mom this is not that serious its fake.
Well I was mistakenly wrong my mom & grandma job shut down my mom was fortunate enough to be able to work from home. Schools around Ohio shut down than I was told that we had a stay at home order in the back of my mind me being me still didn’t believe this virus was hurting and killing people, I kept saying it’s just like the Flu so why are we shutting everything down. Then I started seeing people wearing mask outside on TV, I think I started to really believe when my cousins one in college & one in high school didn’t like the past classes that was wrong in my mind and sad. The few times that I had to go out which was in the car only I noticed the streets the city was like dead no one was really out not that many cars on the street. I also started to believe and feel bad because my mom told me how many people lost their jobs and couldn’t feed their families & finally when my school announced that we would have to finish school online through google class room. I also seen people in long lines waiting for food in their cars, I guess you have to count your blessing because my house was very blessed not to experience that type of lost. To see the numbers of all the lives that were lost people not able to live normal and see there families as they wish is very believable and hurt broken and I hope this all go away very soon I blame the quarantine.
