Hi all, we're on google classroom from here 'til the end of the year.
Here is the link: https://classroom.google.com/c/NzM4Njc0MDg5Nlpa
When you get there, you'll need to 'enroll'. Here's the code for that: 2hmbbz4. See you there! :-)

Having communication with others, as well as having the knowledge about coronavirus are very helpful as a society. Being able to communicate through the internet also is a helpful response while we struggle with the distance through this time.

4) I believe hardening hospitals so they’re ready for mass casualties/pandemics is a good idea. Other things I would like to see our country do to prepare for a coronavirus-type of event are: the government providing more consistent information to the public, the federal government giving more support to the state, and Democrats and Republicans working together to prepare, instead of worrying about politics. ~ Treanna

2. Pioneer can become a hospital specified only for coronavirus patients that are stable enough without any medical equipment like ventilators.
3. Families could stock up on canned foods and practice hygiene habits regularly
4. I feel like all hospitals should have more ventilators to start with, even though most hospitals don't need more than 20, it gives the nation more time to prepare for an epidemic.

Multiple Star Wars references in one Padlet! A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

1. Big reveal moment - "I am your father."

2. #fortresspioneer - it would probably be prudent to set up big buildings, like Pioneer, to serve as hospitals in times of crisis. However, we have to keep in mind that actual hospitals should be prioritized when it comes to supplies and funding. We wouldn't want facilities that could possibly serve as hospitals at a later date to hoard supplies needed by those already treating patients.

3. Preparedness - it's smart for families to keep enough supplies at home to last a little while just in case. Otherwise, you'll see hoarding at the last minute in a time of crisis, like we've seen in this pandemic.

In the 3.20.20 Padlet thread, I asked ‘How will we change as a society, because of the coronavirus?’

This Washington Post article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/04/09/rush-hospital-coronavirus/ offers a pretty good picture of way we’ll change. It describes how a Chicago hospital built after 9-11 was designed to deal with both a mass casualty event and/or a pandemic. For example,

“Under the surge, routine ER patients — someone with a broken ankle, for example — are handled in the building’s main atrium, which has been outfitted as “a MASH unit,” completely cut off from the covid-19 patients in the emergency section, said Purim-Shem-Tov. The atrium’s design made the transformation easy: Disguised inside every support column are panels giving access to oxygen and other necessary medical gases, as well as electricity.”

I’m imagining the transforming of that atrium as one of those movie scenes where there’s a ‘big reveal’ moment—good or bad. There are so many of those in movies that it’s hard to choose examples, but one most people will know: when it turns out that (surprise!) those cute, cuddly lil’ Ewoks actually have traps and tricks in the woods, to fight and smash Imperial troopers.  Or, on the dark side, when Emperor Palpatine says ‘Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station!’ Either way, action shifts to a higher level: it’s on! Boss fight time!

Because we love those moments in movies, the real-world version of Rush hospital with its hidden pandemic defenses is sure to be a hit. Going forward, I think we’ll see similar things not just in hospitals, but in schools, theaters, stadiums, hotels, and individual households. Such hidden features may be costly, but the public desire and support for having them will make paying for them a minor issue.

But: will there be carry over to those other, non-hospital facilities? Pioneer (and schools in general) already changed to be more prepared for a disaster: first-aid bags, training for staff, lock-down drills and better versions of other drills have been added during my 20-some years of teaching. There’s also an emergency generator if the school loses power, and (in theory?) we have bathroom sinks, etc. that don’t involve as much touching of common surfaces.

Will schools and theaters and stadiums be (further) designed to transform in some way to deal with emergencies? Will they have oxygen supply hook-ups behind hidden panels? Maybe not all schools would go that far, but will some of them?

How do families and individuals already prepare for emergencies and how will household disaster preps change because of this crisis?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

1) optional but fun?--name another and/or a favorite ‘big reveal’ moment from a movie or TV show. AND/OR

2) Think of a way that Pioneer could or should be ‘hardened’—somehow set-up to deal with a coronavirus situation, or with other disasters/emergencies. Could it be a hospital? A refugee center? How do high schools get used for emergencies in movies? (#fortresspioneer!) AND/OR

3) How will families/households prep for any future coronavirus or other emergencies? If you could go back a year, or 2 or 3 months ago, what would you do to get ready for now? AND/OR

4) Do you think hardening hospitals so they’re ready for mass casualties/pandemics is a good idea? What else or instead, would you like to see our country do to prepare for a coronavirus-type of event?

If you want to read the whole article about the Chicago hospital, just FYI, it also discusses federal support for states during the coronavirus crisis, and in that regard is not generally friendly to Trump.

I’m glad if you respond to any of the above, and if you want to answer all four, great!, but in any case, have a good weekend and take care.

I wish we had a faster way to test people for diseases. If it’s a machine or device of some sort I would hope it would be affordable and simple, so everyone could own and operate one. I also wish we had some type of scanner or black light that would show if a surface had the virus on it, so we would know not to touch it. I wish we didn’t have so many people dying from this virus. ~Treanna

# data[].attributes.body
It would help so much if our government actually showed leadership instead of promising false statements. Trump's cabinet could've seen what happened in China and actually done something to prepare instead of brushing it off while hospitals are now undersupplied. Also it would help if the president would stop telling the public that certain medicines could "cure" the coronavirus because then people that actually need those medicines would be able to get them instead of a bunch people falsely thinking that they would work and overstocking on them.

Idk if this is already a thing or not but I don’t think it is my idea is that we should have like vr FaceTime and we could like go like shopping or put putting with that person cause like you can’t tell me that doesn’t sound awesome OH and the patients at hotels could do it to just to feel like there getting an escape from being stuck in a hospital- reigan

# data[].attributes.body
I wish we had a competent federal government. That would help a lot. Or even just honest federal leadership, even if it wasn't very good. Right now, we're stuck with a president and administration constantly peddling misinformation and shutting down experts, all the while failing to distribute testing or present a clear national strategy.

For example, from CNN: "By CNN's rough estimate, over the past three weeks Trump has made at least 50 false or misleading claims at these briefings, which in many ways have become a substitute for the political rallies he can no longer hold due to the coronavirus outbreak."

# data[].attributes.body
I wish we had an easy way to test everyone and have it be fast so we could know the numbers and treat people. What I wish we didnt have was less people on the side that are not as educated because most of those people are the people still going outside and not knowing they are infected which is spreading everything.

Tech- Masks, gloves, ventilators
Knowledge- How the virus spreads and how fast

Yesterday was about things we're glad to have as we deal with the coronavirus. Today is about what we WISH we had or we wish we did NOT have. 

# data[].attributes.body
Are there areas where, in dealing with the coronavirus, we need sort of technolgoy or knowledge or wisdom? Or, are there areas where what we have actually causes more suffering?

An example of the first might be needing better ways to test for who had a disease. We have ways to do that, but they could be faster--like a home pregnancy tests or a diabetic's blood sugar tests.

An example of the second thing is, easy movement of goods and people around the world. That's actually made things worse, compared to a hundred years ago, in some ways (that said, I'd still much rather have modern society's resources than those of 100 years ago, when it comes to fighting the coronavirus).

Add your thoughts below. :-)

Technology: the internet, touch less thermometers, ventilators, radios, and TVs to watch the news.
Knowledge: about how fast the virus is spreading and plans for the future once pandemic is over.
Wise Thoughts: washing your hands, not touching your face, wearing masks and gloves, and social distancing, but still keeping in contact with friends and family. ~Treanna

2.) Knowledge about viruses, how they are spread (preventative), how to make vaccines(treatment), and test kits which teach us more about the virus.
3.) Try to continue to communicate with people.

# data[].attributes.body
In terms of technology, I'll echo what Mr. Hathaway said (the internet, etc.) and add medical equipment like ventilators, oxygen supplies, and PPE.

Moving on to knowledge, public health and medical ideas have advanced a lot recently, which helps us get through this crisis.

What features of today's society help us to deal with the  coronavirus?

# data[].attributes.subject
What features of today's society help us to deal with the  coronavirus?

# data[].attributes.body
Brainstorm a list of technologies, knowledge, and maybe wise thoughts that are handy or even essential in responding to the coronavirus.

In terms of technologies, this question came from watching the mechanical arm on the garbage truck: it makes for faster garabage pick-up, with just one worker: the driver. There used to be 3 or 4 workers per truck: a driver, but also others to pick up/dump people's (smaller) garabge cans i the truck. But apart from reducing the number of workers, those mechanical arms mean no common surfaces touched by home-owners and truck workers.
Self-check out in grocery stores also reduces shared touching of items.
A much bigger, more important aspect of today's society is the internet. (How the heck would we get through a crisis like this without it?!) What are some of the ways we're using it now?
Also, compared to even 50 or 100 years ago, food is available in new packaging/different forms, and through drive-thru/delivery. That's a big help at a time like this.

In terms of knowledge, we have a lot of scientific and public health knowledge: germ theory, info about vaccines, tests of who is infected  use knowledge or DNA/RNA, etc.

I'm not sure what wise thoughts to point out, but it seemed like a good option to add. I'm thinking of simple, practical tips and thoughts that help in dealing with life in a coronavirus crisis. Maybe you're finding a quote/lyric/movie line (or character?) works as a guide for dealing with being shut in, or whatever. (If you're singing a song as you wash your hands, does that  belong in this category?)

Build on these examples and in the space below list more ways that the fabric of modern life is helping us get through day-to-day activities, and/or respond globally to the coronavirus.

(also: tomorrow I'll be asking what areas of today's society do we still need to improve or fix, or that make it harder to respond to the coronavirus? Start thinking on that, too.)

Howdy Folks!
I'm going to point you all to the new google classroom--the code is 2hmbbz4 if you haven't already joined.
I posted some info there from yesterday's meeting, about the plan for the rest of the school year. There's another meeting tomorrow, so I may have an update after that/later in the week.
Please post a comment--questions/suggestion are great, but even if you just say 'got it' or 'ok' that helps, too: having a bunch of comments will show me how that feature of a google classroom website can look and what I need to deal with, from the teacher point of view. If you add (school appropriate!) pics or GIFs or such--if that's even possible--that'd be good, too.
IF you somehow can't get a comment to post there, let me know HERE. If you try to post a GIF or a link and it won't take it, that'd be good to know. If you try in Safari and that doesn't work, but you can in Chrome, that'd be good to know.
Thanks for whatever you can do to test that feature of google classrooms.

Elijah - 5th hr. - thoughts on Covid-19 monument

# data[].attributes.body
Doctors and nurses are the most obvious fighters against any disease and are saving lives bravely and selflessly during this pandemic. They should be celebrated in any memorial that remembers this time. In addition, those who actually pass away as a result of Covid-19 should never be forgotten.

More broadly, though, I'm impressed by the degree to which other essential workers, like delivery people and grocery store workers, are being celebrated in the media and by the public. I hope their courageous role during this pandemic is also remembered long after it's over.

# data[].attributes.body
The people that deserve to be recognized are doctors, nurses, janitors, first responders, and bus drivers. I know I’m missing others, but these are the primary ones. I believe one Covid-19 monument will be a structure that include all the people I listed above with different ethnicities and genders (and yes they would be wearing masks) to show that EVERYONE was affected by the virus.  ~Treanna

# data[].attributes.body
Hopefully minimum wage workers would get paid a lot more as we realize during this time that they are essential. As for doctors, hospitals should be more prepared for these kinds of situations.

2. After you look over the WW2 Project write-up, from 3.26.20, post any questions below, or email me.
I think we'll actually have assignments starting next week. If so, I'll formally announce that as an assignment at that time.
If you can point out any problems or unclear aspects of that project, that'll help for when it's actually assigned.
3. Stories about doctors and nursese and other workers who are at risk but still doing things to help us all during this crisis show them as heroes. We put up monuments and memorials for heroes--in wars and so on. What do you think Covid-19 monuments will look like? Who--what jobs, etc.--will be in them? Will they show people wearing masks? What other details might be in them?

I have a page of the class website with articles GALORE! I'm adding more items and will keep on doing so (thanks for all the links you guys have contributed!).
The project is basically a 2-page paper, with 3 sources, on a topic of your choice, about WW2.
BUT--you have to use sources from those I'm providing. Details in the hand-out/write-up, which is attached.
As far as a due date--this is still in that hazy 'for whenever we're back together' category. The earliest that I personally see that happening is mid-April. At that point I'd give you a hard-copy version of this assignment, and allow you a week to be working on it. So the vague 'end of April' timeframe for when it's due is about all I can say. BUT that assumes we're somehow--online or in a room together--back in business, by mid-April. Things keep changing, so I may completely change that.
Here's the link for the page with WW2 articles, etc.
Below is the 'write-up' for download from this site.

It’s already changing society so much and i think it would be similar to other big epidemics or plagues that have happened in the past

# data[].attributes.body
It changed society to where we can’t do anything outside

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think this will have too much of an affect on society. I think that we will probably carry on as normal after this is all over. They might have better protocols on diseases because coronavirus isn't that deadly but we could see something much worse. I watched the movie Outbreak today and in the movie the virus was 100% lethal. I think while that is not likely to happen in real life, health care workers might in the future attempt to have better protocol when dealing with pandemics.

# data[].attributes.body
We have seen things similar to this virus before in the SARS outbreak from 2002-2003 and while China did initially take precautions, after the outbreak passed things remained generally the same; no precautions were enforced; plans for what to do in the future were not made. However, COVID-19 may have different results in how it affects our world. Seeing how the economy is rapidly falling because of a pandemic it may bring efforts to create a more stable economy that is not so easily affected. Effects this pandemic will have on society and everyday lives are likely to happen, seeing how unprepared we were for something that has not happened in over one hundred years, could create new precautions and plans of action for the future. This also likely will include change in our countries ideas for health insurance along with facing the many other instabilities for the working class. Another possible outcome could be that like the flu this becomes a yearly virus and while by then we are likely to have a vaccine it may change people's opinions on vaccination. Finally, environmentally this may affect international travel, it also could show the public how unprepared we are and that climate change is also continuing and it will have a great impact if not already. I am not sure what changes will come, but I believe there are sure to be some and I hope that these changes will have a good impact on society for future developments.

Corona virus is going to change everything big time for businesses. At my job we limit touch, clean after every customer or every hour to keep everything clean. Also the money is dropping everyday that we work. I am not allowed to go to work anymore for out own safety.

# data[].attributes.body
The one effect of this I can see long term is the economy. Going into next year, most could predict another recession. Because of Covid-19, the economy could be worse than it was during the Great Depression. I know my parents 401K is going down the drain, and it's going to take a long time to recover from this. I know some states (Kansas) recently have said there won't be school for the rest of the year, does anyone think that could happen to us?

# data[].attributes.body
Effects that will come from how this virus has so far affected us and what we know about it at this point are that, people might start thinking twice before they have social interactions. Also, schools might try to be more prepared for something like this to happen again; always having hand sanitizer in class, knowing what to do with online classes, etc. ~Treanna

# data[].attributes.body
I think corona virus will lead to an appreciation of face to face interaction. It will also affect the economy, because people are practicing social distancing and not going out to buy goods.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi this is Sam

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe the virus will lead to us having a new plan for viruses by maybe having more test kits stored somewhere just in case a virus happens. Maybe schools test kids for coronavirus and maybe the aaps will learn from this and come up with a new plan for viruses

# data[].attributes.body
Coronavirus could drastically accelerate the global transition towards online interaction. After the virus passes, there will probably be some time in which people get together in person as much as possible because we won't have been able to do that in so long. However, in time, people might begin to use online meeting and contact tools more than ever now that they have a taste of that.

On the reverse side, the instinct to interact face-to-face is strong and could prevail even more in society after coronavirus is over because people will stop taking in-person contact for granted.

So basically, I'm sure COVID will change social interaction long-term, but I really don't know how.

In the 1800s, the outbreak of cholera (and other diseases that were deadly and broke out in sudden waves, such as yellow fever, typhoid, and so on) taught us to better manage sewage and to provide clean water. We built sewers in cities and water treatment plants and systems.
In the 1980s, HIV-AIDS led to better understanding of how to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, but also, to greater openness about sexual activity and preferences, and identity.
What effects will come from how this virus has so far affected us and what we know about it at this point?
Will we have different ideas about everyday social interactions? Will we continue to do more online versions of things? Will governments continue to be (as) active in terms of public health and healthcare in general? Could that govt. involvement carry over from infectious diseases to other ways that people's health is at risk? (an example of the latter: in the U.S, states and the federal govt. already do that by requiring warnings against smoking on tobacco products, and putting heavy taxes on those products).

I hope you all are enjoying/looking at each others comments. I go back to previous threads to see if there are any additional comments and invite you guys to do the same--I'm trying to respond to each comment you guys post, so there's that reason to look back, too. Getting a dialogue of comments back and forth (and back) is my hope/goal, so feel free to add to things wherever you have the urge to do so.
I hope you still feel a sort of TGIF vibe, even though Friday isn't much different than other days. I'll still checking things over the weekend, if you guys send emails/messages or post here.
Have a good rest of the day and try to get a big-picture, thoughtful perspective on all of this. We'll get through it somehow, and keeping a calm attitude and taking it day by day is a big part of doing so.

I didn’t think Coronavirus was going to change school that much until last Thursday. Now I'm worried that it will get worse and that school will be closed fir the rest of the school year, also i don't want summer activities to be cancelled.

1. 2 weeks ago I was worried about states, a week ago I was worried about school still going on, now I'm worried about my dad because he's working on the frontlines and my mom because she lives in Chicago. My daily life concern was being caught up in school and my extracurriculars. Now I'm more worried about my family (especially since most of my extracurriculars are cancelled).
2. I'm worried about how classes are going to get caught up and about the spring season.

To be honest, 2 weeks ago I was worrying about an English project more than the caronavirus, but it’s getting serious. The last time I saw my grandpa I didn’t hug him, instead we both stuck one foot out and hit them against each other😂. ~Treanna

School closure was announced about a week ago. It was unclear what, if any, schoolwork we'd be doing from home. I guess I know, now - we'd be working on writing down our thoughts for history class, among other things.

Two weeks ago, I was prepping sub plans because I was going to be out the next day, attending a PiHi Samurai Robotics competition. Going into that event, there were news stories about the coronavirus and I was a little nervous about being at a large, public event. Washing hands--thoroughly!--was already being recommended and we wiped down the tables with a sanitizing wipe, in the cafeteria before the team's lunch. There were news stories about whether or not people 'believed' in the virus--saw it as real or not. A week ago (or was it Wed. night?) we were waiting for an announcement from AAPS leaders. It was supposed to be streamed at 7:00 but was pushed back and back due to so many people trying to watch and causing technical problems. I thought classes the next day would be canceled, but they went ahead. Friday's classes were cut to a 1/2 day for students, while staff stayed after to batten down the hatches and prep for a 2 wks off--to be followed by a third week already schedule 'off' for spring break. Today I'm trying to plan around teaching online, from home. The question of how we'll handle the rest of the school year is very much on my mind. I hope we'll know by next week. Two weeks from now, maybe we'll have a sense of how big and what size of a 'curve' we'll  have. The 'curve' refers to a graph of how many people will catch the coronavirus, and when they'll do so. If the curve is sharp and high, many will need hospital care all at once, overwhelming the capacities of hospital staff and space and supplies (masks and such are in short supply). Our current 'social distancing'/lock-down protocal is meant to 'flatten the curve' so those catching the virus are spread out over a longer span of time, with fewer needing hospital care all at once, so that those who do can be admitted and recover and others admitted after them, rather than all at once.
I hope this has useful details in it when I look back at it. One thing to mention in closing: writing this seems important because events feel historic and are moving quickly and it's hard now to remember details from two weeks ago when things were so different.

I'm worried about the possibility of having school in summer after this is all over. It's crazy to think about how just a couple months ago this whole thing was across the world and no one really thought it would get this big.

two weeks ago I was worrying about how I was going to get all my work in and how I didn't want to go to school. Now all i want is to go back to school and see everyone.

Hi all!
I hope you're all waking up refreshed and ready for whatever this day brings. And each day seems to bring giant-sized developments, so being 'ready' for such is a tall order.
Realizing how different daily life is now, from just a week ago, and having to struggle a little to rememer and sort out how much more different things were TWO weeks ago, I had a sense that we'll soon forget some of the details of these first few weeks of this moment in history.
Let's not do that!
In your class notebooks, or wherever you see fit, answer these questions and write whatever else you want. Try for maybe a page but by all means keep going if you want. When you're done, pick a sentence or two and post it here. Feel free to be totally anonymous, if that's easier.
Qn. 1 How have things changed from  2 weeks ago, and then again from 1 week ago, and how are they now?  Write a sentence or 3 or 4 about what your to-do list involved at those times, what's gone away as a daily-life concern, and what's currently a daily-life concern.
Qn. 2 What do you worry about and hope for for a week from now and a week after that? There are bound to be BIG questions that come to mind--and if those are pushing everything aside, write about them. But if you can focus on what you think might actually be known a week from now, and a week after that, having those thoughts in writing might save them when they would otherwise be forgotten in the long run of months and years going by.
Wherever you end up writing this, I hope it's some place safe and not likely to get lost or mixed in with other papers and forgotten. I look forward to hearing whatever your selected thoughts are.
I'll do my own version of this and come back to share it, too, btw.

I think I saw a movie about this and they had a lot of struggles sometimes they had to hide a lot from the po po and eventually they got caught and then they got killed.

I think it’s crazy how they were discovered- by someone robbing her dads shop at night (I think)

Anne Frank said that she wanted to leave an impact even after death, and she has. In 8th grade, I leaned that Anne was really close to her dad (Otto Frank); so the fact that he was the only one (from the attic) who survived and got to hold (and read) something of her's, is very mind-blowing and special. ~Treanna

# data[].attributes.body
My 8th grade English class read the play "The Diary of Anne Frank," which I had also read previously. It's closely based on the actual text of the diary. Her writing is so good! And the strength of her hope is remarkable in such a grim time.

# data[].attributes.body
When I first read Anne Frank's diary I didn't understand why she went stir crazy living in an attic while other Jews were getting sent to concentration camps, but now I get it more because I'm so bored and I at least have a house to stay in, while she only had an attic.

i found the articles interesting. the secret annex where the franks were interesting because it seems cool and a good place to hide.

# data[].attributes.body
You know I feel really bad for Anne. Like not only did she have to stay completely silent(which is really hard), she also couldn't turn on the lights, which means that she couldn't essentially do ANYTHING. Like, all she could do was sleep and that's it. It must have really sucked...

# data[].attributes.body
The articles were very interesting and it was nice to know that someone knew anne frank and got to tell the story about knowing her

# data[].attributes.body
I know it’s not exactly “on topic” but I remember when our class read the whole diary of Anne Frank we learned that although they did all end up going to concentration camps all of them were very close to surviving like Peter was three days from surviving and that’s what makes me kind of upset-reigan

I would like to continue school when it’s over and it not like anything we’ve experienced

A collection of Anne Frank items to comment on. 

# data[].attributes.body
I have saved a few items over the years related to Anne Frank's diary and experience. Since some  of you mentioned her story as something that comes to mind now, I put together an Anne Frank page (it's under the menu item for the class website's 'Coronavirus Break' page).
If you browse those items, come back here and add your thoughts and any info you've learned, or links to other news stories or articles about her or about similar experiences.
I don't see it in my files, but I believe a childhood friend of Anne spoke at the U of M, a few years ago. Here's the wikipedia page on her.
Of course, the experience of being isolated now, is why people might think of her, but in many other ways her situation was much more dire. It's important to keep that in mind. But aside from that, I hope you find some inspiration in what she did while she had to get through hiding from danger.

Hi!

1) I'll be passing time doing homework and reading

2) I can't really think of anything. I guess it reminds me of the Black Death, but we haven't really gone over that so...

# data[].attributes.body
1.) When this is over I want to hang out with my friends. To pass the time I've been facetiming people and watching a lot of Netflix.
2.) This kind of reminds me of trench warfare where you couldn't really leave the trench and it was kind of waiting it out.

1)When this is all over, I’m going to get Chick-fil-A.
2)Moments that’s we’ve studied that this brings to mind is when Anne Frank and her family had to hide in an attic and couldn’t leave. ~Treanna

1) When the break is over, I want to go out of town.
2) This reminds me of the Great Depression because the stock market is at a low point.

1. To pass time i’ve started reorganizing and spending more time on things i never had time to do, also homework.  2. The situation we are experiencing right now reminds me of again as others said Anne Frank, as she could see everything outside but yet could not leave. As we are doing right now.

when this is over i will probably go on vacation because i wasn’t able to for spring break, and this reminds me of anne frank staying in hiding.- claire sleamon

claire stanko- Once this is over I will want to get back to running with my teammates and seeing friends also to pass the time I am doing my school work and trying to do things that I never get to do while I am at home. This moment in time reminds me when there were other big sicknesses going around the world that caused major problems.
