When I saw what was happening in Italy last year when they were running out of hospital space. It became a lot more easier to understand why my mother wasn’t letting me go into town.

I don’t talk to people as often, I go on the internet a lot more and I’m paying a lot more attention to politics.

Stressed and worried for the state of our country and our democracy. I listen to music and take walks. I also like to watch comfort streamers.

There are so many more people than I thought that just decide to ignore science. There are so many people in my community who just believe that this isn’t a problem.

In March school was canceled and we went entirely virtual. I did all my work and I did well until the end of the year but I know many of my classmates did not. We went back to school full in person unlike a lot of other schools and even with the recent rise in cases we have only had to go online for two weeks once. I think that we will close down soon with the recent outbreak.

I am using it to learn so much more about our world and became radicalized politically through social media. I use it to talk with like minded people and debate those who want to debate. It has helped me a lot with debate skills in the classroom.

I was on quarantine when my uncle’s wedding happened so we had to watch it virtually and I was really sad about that. For Christmas we stayed home because the people we were going to spend Christmas with got COVID.

I have two cats that we got a few years ago. They crawl into my lap when I’m having a bad day and they make me a lot happier.

The protests all throughout the pandemic. I supported the BLM protests as much as I could.

One of my friends and a couple of other people I know got it. They were really sick but they weren’t hospitalized and it wasn’t good. One of them had to quarantine from the rest of her family because she was the only positive case in the house so they couldn’t see her.

I wish I knew how to look up information better and how to fact check more easily because of all of the misinformation being spread.

That this pandemic is raging on in America because of incompetent leaders and an inability to listen to science. Listen to the scientists, help others, and learn to think for yourself.
