Coronavirus is a  scary time. Just last week we got an announcement on the loudspeaker at school that we would not be closing and later that night we got an email that it really is closing. Now we’re closed for more than a month. Everything changed so much so fast. I was hanging out with all my friends the day before everything got crazy. But now I can't see any of them in person because we can only leave the house for certain things. As everything was getting extreme I was starting to get a little more scared. I just can't wait until this is over.

Today I just played video games and all day. It's been a little hard not to see my friends because I've been very bored. I thought playing video games and staying on my phone all day would be very fun but it's not.  I really miss my friends and being able to see them.  Coronavirus has me a little scared because I've never seen the world in a panic like this. The streets are so empty and silent. I honestly wish we could just go back to school and everything would go back to normal. I  miss being able to go outside without a care in the world. As you can see, Coronavirus is changing our world little by little every day.

Coronavirus is getting very chaotic. At the stores, everything is selling out. People are in a panic and are buying as much food as possible because they don’t know what could happen next. Almost everything is closed except for certain places.  I don't think this virus will continue in the summer because viruses don't last too long in the heat. I have many questions about covid 19. Are scientists coming up with a cure and if they are, how long will it take? I also want to know how long do the doctors and scientists think this pandemic will last?

A lot has changed in our community. People used to be out walking, playing with their friends, going to the beach, and many other things. But now everywhere is silent no one goes anywhere except the grocery store. My family now is buying lots of canned food because it’s easy to access and cook. They’re doing this because they don’t know what could happen next in our world.  For some reason, we also now need to buy a lot more toilet paper because people are buying so much. There is usually no more at the stores.

Coronavirus has been a real change in my life and many others in our world. I am stuck inside all day without any in-person contact with my friends and extended family.  I heard that my school was closed for the rest of the year and it made me sad and kind of nervous. When I was in school I wished school could end but now I just want to go back and see my friends. This virus is affecting so many people and there is even a case in my town. In a time like this, most people are constantly keeping up with the news. My parents watch CNN and Fox every day to get updates and reassurance. I think my state has listened to the federal recommendations really well. Lately, I’ve been keeping in contact with my friends through Facetime, an app called Houseparty.

   I woke up around 11 and ate breakfast. After I went to Xbox with my friends. I played for a couple of hours then went on my phone and relaxed a little more. then I went outside and played with my dog for about an hour or two and then I ate dinner. After that I was pretty bored and tired so I went on my phone for a little bit just to relax. I was bored again so I went to my Xbox and played with some friends who were also bored. I played Xbox with the until about 1 in the morning because I finished all my homework and my parents said it was okay. I ended up going to sleep around 2.
