COVID 19 and Quarantined School



Infant dies of coronavirus in Illinois, a first in US
Over the past month we have seen the growth of one of the most dangerous infections we have ever had, Covid 19. The infection saw its first case in China and since then it has grown and according to Wikipedia, it has infected 803,313 people worldwide. Although it was first seen in China, as of right now, China has the fourth most cases worldwide and they had been at around 70,000 cases like two weeks ago and now have 81,518. According to Wikipedia, Italy has the most deaths due to the corona virus and has 101,739 cases currently. However, that is not the least of our concerns, the US, although late to receive their first case is now leading the count and has 164,516 cases, with around 70,000 coming from New York State alone. Not a surprise, but as a result, New Jersey is the second most infected state in the US because so many people that live in NJ work in New York and have been bringing the virus back. Even worse, according to the Washington post, the US has more deaths due to the corona virus, than they had during the 9/11 attacks. As of March 16th, all NJ schools, both public and private were ordered to shut down to limit the spread of this extremely dangerous disease. Since then, car dealerships and other non essential establishments were forced to shut down, but were allowed to sell their items online and deliver them to the houses. Also, according to my Marketing Teacher, Mr. Mefford, even if you have Amazon Prime, it could take at least a month to deliver items you bought online. There have been so many other catastrophic hits to the world due to the coronavirus, but there are so many things that could be covered, but I don't want to make it sound all bad. As of right now, not even 1% of Americans have been infected by the coronavirus, and if we stay home and "social distance" ourselves, we could make it through these tough times. I know we are all struggling, while being in our houses and getting bored, I know I am personally, but you have to find a way to occupy yourself because we could be stuck here for a while.
