It sounded interesting so I wrote my project about it. They said 3 deaths and over 200 people had it, but I had to present the next day because my teacher was not here. I updated my information the next day and it increased to 9 deaths and over 600 people had it. When I realized how rapidly COVID-19 was spreading I had envisioned it being an issue, but I definitely did not imagine the virus appearing in the United States instantaneously. At first, I underreacted because I kept saying, “we are young so we will be fine” which shows that I was not concerned and only thinking about myself. My family was still prepared and cautious of going into populated areas to escape the virus. The following week was when I realized everyone needs to stay home, most people have someone older than them that can be harmed by COVID-19. Overall, I think it is mind blowing how all of this happened and since it happened so many things have changed. For example, school is now online classes for the rest of the school year (March 13 to May 27), restaurants can only do takeout, and you must be 6 feet away from each other no matter where you are. ]]> 2020-04-30 11:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/541683542 pl2377421_13 https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/541687733 We spent my oldest sister's 17th birthday during quarantine (March 19).]]> 2020-04-30 11:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/541687733 pl2377421_13 https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/541693459 Yesterday, April 29, I baked brownies for my family and they tunes out amazing. During quarantine I have been baking a lot. For Example, I have baked 2 batches of brownies, chocolate cake, and some cinnamon rolls. ]]> 2020-04-30 11:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/541693459 pl2377421_13 https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/541700406 During quarantine, I have been in the pool such much, maybe even too much.

My mom surprised me with them after the Publix delivery arrived. Just as good as I remember. ]]> 2020-05-01 19:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/544766269 pl2377421_13 https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/544777806 During quarantine, I see so many people walking their dogs. Walking your dog is the only thing most people can do which makes the sidewalks flowing with people. When I go on my evening dog walk I always see at least 10 other people. I have never seen so many people outside! It is crazy that the most exciting thing I have done in a month was going to Home Depot to pick up light bulbs with my dad (curbside pickup of course). Also, playing video games consumes a lot of my time because there just isn’t anything else to do. Forced to stay home for over a month with nothing to do, or not being able to do something you haven’t already done is the worst feeling. When someone asks me “what have you been doing?” I get confused because obviously I haven’t done anything new or too exciting. Overall, quarantine is boring, but the dogs love it! Once this is gone, the dogs will be very upset with us, especially my dad because they are obsessed with him. They don’t care if I leave, but if my dad leaves they cry and attempt to get to him. ]]> 2020-05-01 19:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/544777806 pl2377421_13 https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/544815593 Here is a 44 second video to my future self explaining what everyone has been doing. ]]> 2020-05-01 20:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/544815593 pl2377421_13 https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/553142914 My grandma, Myriam, who has been quarantined in her house alone for over a month responded to a question I emailed her on Tuesday, May 5, 2020.

Me: “What were your first reactions to hearing about COVID-19?”

Myriam: “ You have to take my age into account. There have been so many viruses and contagious illnesses since I was young.  Thanks to vaccines and antibiotics they have been controlled. 
At the beginning, when I heard of COVID19, I was sort of confused because there wasn’t a lot of information about it. So, when it was suggested to stay at home I talked to my friends and we all thought of having groceries for 2 weeks, but of course, I was not sure starting when. Finally it became obvious that it was much worse than we all thought. I  became very concerned about myself and my family! 
It’s been 2 months that I’ve been alone, cooped in my house.
The virus has affected the whole wide world and I have come to the conclusion that this country was not prepared for it.”

Me: “What made today special?” 

Mom/Noreen: “Today was special because your dad and I took the day off and went on the boat. We got to spend quality time together while relaxing. No meetings or having to listen to the dogs barking was very relaxing. It was so nice to take a break and I hope we do it again very soon.” ]]> 2020-05-05 20:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/553161057 pl2377421_13 https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/553186357 1 month ago I would tell myself to enjoy being at school. Now, staying home everyday not being able to see my teachers or friends is very upsetting. 1 month ago I would make sure I saw everyone and make sure I said goodbye before our long break. Without telling my past self to enjoy being at school, I would act like it was a regular day thinking tomorrow I will see them again. I do not think I or anyone expected us not going back to school for the rest of the school year so we did not treat it as if it would be a while until we saw each other in person. On the flip side, if I knew to enjoy seeing everyone while we were at school I might not miss them as much. Having online school is a lot more challenging because it is difficult to ask questions while trying not to annoy the teacher. Taking online classes makes you realize how beneficial it is to learn in a classroom. The simple act of asking a teacher a question suddenly became difficult in quarantine. Enjoying school would make me appreciate having my teachers there while improving my learning. ]]> 2020-05-05 20:21:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/553186357 pl2377421_13 https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/553194244 New York Times had this article which explains how terrible the Coronavirus has been in relation to cases and deaths. ]]> 2020-05-05 20:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/553194244 pl2377421_13 https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/553200892 I drew this picture symbolizing how rare face masks are and the demand for them.

Me: “What does your family need today that you might not have/have enough of/ have the ability to acquire?”



Karen: “1.  What our family most needs today that we cannot get/have is the ability to see our son who lives in Seattle in person. We are happy that at least we see him remotely.

2.  Other than wipes or hand sanitizer, we seem to be able to find what we need. We even finally found our favorite ice cream (Edy’s Rocky road) that had been elusive for a few weeks.”]]> 2020-05-05 20:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2377421_13/Bookmarks/wish/553205993
