I chose to draw the planet earth wearing a mask to show that it isn’t just the United States or China that is going trough this experience, it’s the whole world. For once in our lives it shows how the world is truly very united.

I interviewed my mom...

How does it impact your life?

It has impacted her life by creating restrictions to her usual routine. She know has to work from home, have limited help, and have to adjust to all safety measures to avoid the spread of the virus. On one hand, this pandemic has brought fear ad stress to the world. On the other hand, it has provided an opportunity for families to spend more time together, come up with new activities, and enjoy each others company.

How are you feeling/your experiences during this time

She feels blessed fo her comfortable home where she doesn't mind spending time,  for the fact that her kids are well adjusted to distant learning, for having a job that has not been horribly affected by the lockdown, and most importantly for being in good health. She does worry that the effects of a prolonged pandemic will put the economy into deep recession, increasing the level of poverty not only in the U.S. but in the entire world. She has hopes that scientific efforts will result in  the cure for the virus.

My mom has stocked up on toilet paper, masks, wipes, soap, and hand sanitizer. She keeps everything underneath the guest bathroom sink. She’s ready to tackle the coronavirus.

I interviewed my dad...

How does it impact your life?

In many ways, he can not travel anymore which is what he usually does for work. He also has to adapt and work remotely from home. On a positive side, he gets to spend more time with his family, watching movies, and playing games.

How are you feeling/your experiences during this time?

He is feeling okay, pretty happy and comfortable considering the situation. He feels thankful that he is healthy, is working, and has his family around.

Today is May 4th and it’s my dad's birthday! Since quarantine started we have had five birthdays in the family; my cousin, my grandmother, my brother, me, and my dad! We were going to make him a cake but my mom and I were too lazy to cook so we went out and bought my dad's favorite ice cream cake from Publix. It was hard to find a gift for him since we couldn’t go to any stores so we went to the Brazilian market to buy some of his favorite sweets (my whole family is Brazilian). I also made him a pretty card that my mom and brother both wrote in. It's a bad feeling to have your birthday canceled because of the virus and not be able to celebrate with friends. I was really looking forward to my party and having fun with friends, but we made a strawberry cake 🍰 with my grandma's recipe and it tasted delicious. I guess quarantine is not too bad if you make good use of it. Anyways, I really hope my dad likes his ice cream cake and his birthday card.

I call this photo extreme self isolation. Just me, my paddle board, and the water

This weekend was pretty fun. The marinas finally opened and my family and I had the chance to ride a boat for the afternoon. We spent a few hours on the water and it was so relaxing. Since the sand bar is closed due to the virus we had to find a different place to anchor the boat. We decided to go down the Oleta river and find a place to anchor there. It was a beautiful secluded place with mangroves all around. Something that the coronavirus has taught me is to enjoy the little things and to be thankful for the opportunities I have. It was very relaxing to enjoy the view and drift down the river with my paddle board. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay there forever because we had to return the boat to the marina. It was really fun while it lasted! I attached a picture of me and my dog, Bailey, while we were on the paddle board.

Just a few days ago 50,000 people passed away, in the U.S., from the virus. Today 60,000 people have died and the numbers are rapidly increasing. It really scares me to think about all this death and that it could potentially affect my family or friends. All we can do for now is hope for the best, wash our hands, and STAY HOME 🦠🦠

Recently I have been really bored so I found all the face masks that I’ve never had time to use. It’s actually really fun to try on all of the masks and find out which ones work the best for me.

I first heard about Covid19 on the news and I never thought it would be such a big deal. The next day someone used the virus as a topic for mrs. Porges’ news project assignment. A week had passed and the virus was spreading fast. Everyone started to get worried but I thought they were all overreacting. When the virus started to become more severe school closed down and everyone was super happy about that. But what we didn’t notice is that we would miss going to school and seeing our friends. Nobody really new that quarantine would last this long. Thankfully no one in my family has gotten sick or passed away. My family and I will continue to follow the quarantine rules and stay home so that nobody else has to be a victim of the coronavirus🦠🦠🦠

My mom is basically a germaphobic now and she purchased these lens cleaning wipes for my iPad, phone, and glasses. I mean I guess she’s just taking extra precautions🤷🏻‍♀️.

The other day I was looking for my mask but I could not find it. I figured someone must have thrown it away, only to find out this sneaky little boy stole it 🐶🐾

Covid19 gives me time to focus on my TikToks:) TikTok is always there for me when I need a distraction or I’m just bored. It feels as if i have all the time in the world to learn new dances.

The Vampire Diaries is the only thing keeping me alive during quarantine 😆. I love how I have so much time to catch up on my favorite shows. I kind of wish I was a vampire so that I could have the power to heal people with the virus

This video broke my heart and made me cry soooo much. This is the harsh reality and it’s not okay😭😭😭

On the good side of things scientists are looking for a cure to Covid19. This treatment has had a few successful outcomes and scientists can only hope for the best. Nobody is giving up yet, and even though many treatment have failed scientists are keeping their hopes up and trying their hardest.

I thought this meme was funny because 2020 isn’t going to well so far. It does feel like a “90 day free trial” for a really bad/horror movie production app.

The Coronavirus has pretty negative effects to your health that can even cause death, but for these little turtles Covid19 is a life saver. The environment is thriving due to the virus and all we can ask is “What does this say about human kind?”🌊🐢

My mom thought it was a good idea to play a game as a family so we decided to play this one. It was a little confusing at first but once everyone got the hang of it, it was super fun. The goal was to destroy the evil baby armies with the monsters you create. I would totally recommend this game!

I went through my room the other day and found this fake snow that I bought in Colorado a few years ago. I doesn’t exactly feel like snow but it definitely keeps me entertained❄️

I can’t have any peace and quiet nowadays. I never noticed how loud my family was, especially my brother. He is always playing basketball in his room or running around the house. I really need this quarantine to end.

The virus is getting bad and over 50,000 have died in the U.S. This really scares me because if people continue to disrespect the quarantine our situation will get worse😩. I wonder if people realize how bad this situation actually is.
