“My advice to others is don’t give up constitutional rights for the illusion of safety and to do research into COVID19 instead of believing everything on the news.”
“Here in Texas it isn’t really that strict as it is in other places, and it has already started to reopen. Despite this I still barely leave my house as there is still high risk of infection and people wear masks everywhere they go.”
“It wasn’t just school that was affected for me and so many other people. No longer was coronavirus “just like the flu.” We have now lost over a hundred thousand Americans and our society will be fundamentally different when we get out of this.”
“It’s crazy to think that something that we all thought was going to affect our live for 2 weeks is still affecting us three months later and will likely continue to affect us for even longer.”
“The hardest part of the current situation with COVID-19 for me is how I am not able to see my friends and family like normal. This being my senior year, I was planning to be able to celebrate with all of my friends and family before I go off to college in the fall. Although this may still happen, it will definitely look different than I ever imagined it would.”
낵가 코로나에 감염되었을 경우, 나 만이 아닌 나와 가장 가까이 있는 사랑하는 이들이 그로 인해 죽음에 이르는 엄청남 고통을 겪게 된다는 것은 생각만으로도, 감당하기 어려운 감정의 분열과 자괴감을 느끼게 할 것이다. 참 잔인한 바이러스다. 그러나 벌써 우리에게 왔고 앞으로 같이 살아가야 할 것같다. 코로나나 한 잔 해야겠다.
“Daily life as we know it has completely changed with a daily curfew of 7pm in all parts of Kenya. The country has come to a stand still and we can only hope that the effects of the virus are minimized soon.”
“It’s hard to believe I’m only 19 and this has only been 5 months into quarantine. If I was as old as I feel, I’d be a dry, bony fossil.
I don’t mean to discourage you, dear reader, because there have been silver linings in this shitty cloud.”
“Schools are closed and exams are cancelled
Curfew in Kenya from 7pm to 5am
The Government can’t have a full out lockdown as they cannot close work; majority of the population earns their income daily so cannot afford to not work”
“I removed my rings but one. Bracelets, and watchbands, anything a virus could stick to and, by some inbred
genetic need to trick me to scratch my nose that exact moment, to allow it
to enter my respiratory column,
to feed.”
