Blog 9

I haven’t been doing my blogs at the rate that I should be. In all honesty, it’s just because I have nothing to write about. I have been sitting in my house for twelve days. The corona virus sucks. My mom decided the first day of spring break that we were going to start being overly cautious about our health. Since my Grandparents are over eighty years old, we have to be especially careful to not give them some sort of disease that their immune system can’t fight off. I have no problem with social distancing and now ‘quarantining’ knowing that there is other people’s health on the line. While I understand its importance, quarantining has been very tough to stick with. A lot of my friends and family members decided to travel, even with the worldwide travel warnings and limitations. Their excuse for this was, “I’m not cancelling my trip to Mexico for some stupid virus.”, or “it’s basically just the flu, it won’t kill you”. At first I thought they were all stupid for traveling… but now that I’ve been stuck in my house for nearly two weeks, my opinion has slowly changed into “well… at least they got to go somewhere… we’re all getting quarantined anyways.”
