About 2 years ago, our lives drastically changed. We went from going out on weekends, summer vacations, concerts, and even attending school in-person to being isolated at home, wearing masks, living in a virtual world, and practically living in pyjamas. This was due to one thing- a highly transmissible virus called Covid-19. A global pandemic that started in China and spread to the entire world in so little time. It became uncontrollable as it spread at such a rapid pace and the population was ordered to stay home. It is crazy to see how much our lives have changed these past years. Before Covid, it would have been weird to wear masks when you went out, but now I feel like a part of me is missing when I don’t have a mask. I remember at the beginning of the pandemic, there were shortages of hand sanitizers and Lysol wipes and everyone was freaking out. There was one grocery store that was selling Lysol wipes for $80! Everyone started getting dogs that are known as the “covid dogs” – my family is guilty of this haha. Nonetheless, our lives changed drastically and it was extremely hard to adjust. Luckily, scientists created a vaccine that fights against Covid-19 and protects ourselves and others around us. Personally, there was one good thing that came out of this pandemic for me- my dog which helped me mentally and reduced my anxiety However, I feel like the public does not really understand Covid-19 as much as they should.
