  The Cause of Covid

  The cause of Covid is currently unknown. The amount of theories is extremely large. Since it started in China, it has to be some issue there. One theory is that it was a biological weapon but I don't think that makes sense. Nothing that is this contagious, to the extent of being a world wide pandemic, would be created. It also would not be released upon the people of their own country. Another theory would be that it is from dirty markets. I personally believe that this is the most likely option. There are filthy markets in China, as well as a massive population so a pandemic starting there makes a lot of sense. It could have originated off of a dead corpse of something like a pig. That makes a lot more sense and many agree with me and this idea.

  An 8th grader's Christmas in Covid

  My Christmas this year did not feel right. Every year, I look forward to Christmas break from school and every year there is some sort of party or celebration for it. This year I had online school so the entire time I was just sitting at home, by my desk. The week of Christmas, it didn't feel like Christmas. We normally don't go anywhere for Christmas but it still felt different. We still held the same traditions as every year but the initial excitement was gone. School really does impact Christmas.

  A Teenager's Thanksgiving in Covid

  Thanksgiving was alright. I was glad to get off of online school for a week. Staring at a computer screen for 6 hours and having 80 minute periods is tiring. My cousins arrived for Thanksgiving. Although the break was nice, it didn't feel like Thanksgiving. Even when we had the Thanksgiving meal, it didn't feel right. Even though it didn't feel like Thanksgiving, it still was some good food. My dad decided to give every person a massive turkey leg so that was fun. We continued our Thanksgiving tradition of playing bingo after the big meal. That was also fun. Thanksgiving was overall good but didn't feel normal but that's expected when a pandemic is happening
