Coronovirus. Up until about three weeks ago, I hadn’t even heard the word before. Now, it is literally everywhere. I have heard that the reason for this virus is that a girl from China decided to eat a bat which had the virus. This mistake ended up giving it to the whole world. Without that, we would not be having this problem. It is a frustrating because we could of easily prevented this problem if China would have let us known about this problem sooner. The whole world could be in danger now because a girl ate that bat.
My own personal life has changed in many ways. First of all, life is different because I am at home now and not at college. I try to have a routine every single day. I wake up and take a shower. Then, I eat breakfast and work on my schoolwork for two hours. Next, I eat lunch, and then I try to read my book for a half hour. After that, I continue to work on my homework. Later in the day, I try to do some sort of exercise. Some days I go golfing, somedays I go disk golfing, and some days I play catch with a baseball with my brother. After that, it’s usually supper time. I work sometimes too if I get a call that they want me to come in. I stay pretty busy with that as well. The virus has also affected people I live with because my mom is a teacher and my brother is in High School. They both have to stay home now and do online classes. It has been different and weird for them too.
My dad has been affected a lot. It has affected my dad’s business because he owns a furniture store and they have been temporarily forced to close. He also had to let his employees go due to this virus. He is really hoping this does not go much longer. It has also affected my family because going to church is now online and the pastor is doing it in front of an online audience
Social distancing has been another big change in my life with this virus. At work we can only delivery furniture in peoples’ garages, and the furniture needs to be boxed up for the customers. If I am golfing, there has been a lot of new rule changes. For example, there has to be a pole on the green instead of a flagstick because you can’t pick up your ball. Also, when I am golfing I can only golf with four people, and I have to be at least six feet away at all times. I usually only go with my brother.
People say on the news that the best way to beat this virus is to stay in your home at all times. Some people don’t want to follow that rule and its really hard for me also. Not everyone wants to stay in their home all the time, but they say if you stay in your home, you have a better chance of not getting sick. I guess that Iowa is lucky not to be on lockdown. I read that we are one of only five states not to be on lockdown. I wonder how people are supposed to get food when your state is on lockdown. I really hope the state of Iowa does a good job of hand washing and staying at home. If everyone follows the rules, there will hopefully be less deaths in our state.
Finally, I really hope they come up with some type of medicine to help our country. I think that everyone needs to take. Then they can find out if it’s working so everyone’s life can get back to normal. That’s what everyone wants and that’s what everyone needs to have. Then, this world can get back to normal and as soon as possible!
