To me, personally, the only thing that has really changed is the absence of school and the ability to leave the house. I feel that quarantine has affected my family more so than it has myself. Fore example, my sister is a senior in high school so this quarantine has definitely dampened her senior hype. Spring break trips are canceled, and future event dates remain hazy. My parents are now working from home, constantly in meetings or conference calls. There is a constant hum of people talking droning in the background right now as I type. My family friend who usually goes to a boarding school up north has no choice but to stay with us during this period of confusion because she is an international student and her family is back in China. The effect of coronavirus on people ranges in different sizes and difficulties. The only thing that we can do is practice social distancing and do our best to support the medical staff who are working 24/7 to fight for their patients lives.
