“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.”
“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.”
“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”
