“Inequalities are coming to light, and historical tensions are resurfacing.
In some ways, this is scary. But it is also certainly an opportunity. Us “quaranteens” are going to be coming of age in a very different world than our parents did, and we will have a lot of choices to make.”
“I remember in early March at my last ever in-person lecture of the year how tense and confused everybody seemed to be. Was school really going to be shut down? Would I be back in a few days?

“My mother and sister have still been going out and not taking precautions has us spending most of our days it the bedroom to avoid them.

“…Wala tayong kalayaan sa gusto natin gawin. Daming mga nawalan ng trabaho kaya daming mga nagugutom ngayon…”
“经常睡觉睡不着 ，总是感觉每天都不充实，然后心情郁闷，每天在 家里待着不能出去走走，只有每天完成每个科目的 作业和玩游戏”
