The rules for covid a hard. We have to wear a mask anywhere we go and if you dont you get in trouble. At school we cant walk one way we have to follow the arrows and walk a certain way. At restaurants just to pick up food or a stores there is a huge line always. And every-time you do something go somewhere you have to sanitize and wash your hands extra long. There are also rules like the curfew where you cant be out of your house at 10 unless you are going home or to work or something like that. I hate the rules for covid and they effect the fun in life.

some common procedures we follow are social distancing and wearing masks.

I think that they rules and procedures that we have to follow at school all make good sense, except for one. After break and lunch, we all have to clump up and line up in advisories before we leave to go to class. They dismiss each line one by one. The point of them doing this is so we dont all go at once and get all close to eachother. The problem is, they’re just making everyone clump up, then they basically dismiss us all at the same time so people end up clumping up anyway. And its not even like people go into their advisory lines either, everyone just clumps up and goes at the same time. What I think they should do is just either dismiss everyone at once so they’re is no clumping, or just start dismissing groups of people.

Some rules and procedures that I had to follow consistently was wearing a mask, being outside, and social distancing. This was hard for me because I kept forgetting to follow these rules. For example, one time I was hanging out with my friends and we were way too close to each other, but we did not know that. We continued talking until someone told us to social distance. We realized that we were not social distancing and we separated ourselves quickly. I do not like any of these rules because they are a lot for me and my fellow friends to always follow them. We sometimes forget or we are tired of wearing a mask constantly. Whenever I followed any of these rules, I felt tired, annoyed, disappointed, and a little sorrowful. Overall, I dislike all of these rules very much, but I know that they are necessary in order to ensure the maximum safety of myself and others.

Corona started around 8 months ago, this virus has taken lives, jobs, and everyone's social life. When the Virus started spreading worldwide, we were given a set of rules to follow. The rules are to stay inside, social distance, wear a mask when in a public place, and wash your hands. I agree with all these rules because they are set in place to stop this virus from spreading.

This video is compelling people to keep in mind the best interest of all during the pandemic. A combination of collective struggles and necessary actions if we are to get out of this.

Some of my rules during Covid-19 were: Get ready for school in the morning. Second, I needed wear a mask during school time. Third, needed to do homework and anything to get ready for the next day. These are some of my rules during this pandemic. It’s just like anyone else who is doing school during coronavirus. "This is the way"

During Covid-19 many rules were erected to "slow the spread" of Covid-19, a lot of these procedures people didn't like and they often disobeyed them putting their and others health at risk. I partially agree with these people I do not love the new regulations but I them necessary. Take wearing a mask for example, the mask makes it hard to breath and can be suffocating for some degree some people don't wear them at all, but i can say that mask do indeed work. My first hand experience was during a "wellness Wednesday" that our school did to have people come to get together and do activities, i was in the same group as someone who later tested positive for Covid and I didn't get Covid at all. So although the procedures aren't fun they are very necessary.

Covid has affected the way we can see people. Whenever you go out to a store or school you have to wear a mask. Honestly, I am glad that they are enforcing the wearing masks rule because it is proven to have the germs spread less easily. If we can limit the number of cases by wearing a mask I am all for it. Also, we need to stay 6 feet away from people if we aren't wearing a mask. I understand that but at the same time, the germs can still spread throughout the air. All you need is to breathe it in through your lungs and you’ve got Covid. I still think that these procedures are making an impact.

The worst procedure is social distancing. Social distancing at the start of the pandemic was a pain not ever being able to see my friends sucked. The other procedure is masked nobody like wearing mask especially for sports, when your running and panting and have that feeling of will they yell at me if I take the mask off. In conclusions these procedures hit hard.

Throughout the Covid 19 Pandemic there have been many changes in my life. The main one and the hardest one for me was not bring able to see friends that much. I still get to see them but not as frequently as I used to. The second restriction was having to wear masks. I personally believe that masks help, but they are a pain to wear especially during sports and other physical activity.

I think the rules and procedures we have to take to be safe during this pandemic are reasonable and fair. I think this because everyone wants to be safe and healthy especially doctors so when many doctors are telling us specific things to follow i'm going to think about why this i benefiting me and keeping me safe. Like wearing a mask, people say they don't work but doctor's on the other hand say they are very useful and will protect you from the virus that is in fact airborne. Staying six feet this is another big one, this distance is the correct and closest distance you can be from someone without picking up any viruses. These are the two biggest rules and procedures that I think we should follow and that work.

During corona there have been many many rules, when it started we were quarantined and no one could go out, now we can but there are still many rules. The one i hate most is the mask rule, any mask will cause high humidity and its very uncomfortable. There were also the six feet rule, how do you have conversations or chat when so far from the other person, and the schools don't sell lunches anymore either AND the restaurants are mostly closed and we can really go to markets, so whats there to eat?

The stupid COVID rules that have been put in place are not worth following, this virus has a 99.9% recover rate for anyone in between 4-50 and we have to shut the whole country down. I live in California which is democrat run so we have to be on red alert like this virus is a threat to all humanity. It’s stupid and it always has been. I wish I lived in Florida at this point because I can play sports there and live life. But no, I have to comply to California’s socialist communist ideology’s.

During the COVID 19 Pandemic, we have had to follow many new rules and protocols. For example, we have to wear a mask at school, we have to wash our desk of before class and after, we can't use the cafe, we have to use hand-sanitizer before and after class, we have to stay 6 feet apart at lunch and break, and much more. I feel that most of the rules/procedures are useful and make a difference in not spreading the corona virus. I think wearing a mask is very uncomfortable and doesn't due much but I still wear one a stay as safe as possible. Although they are not fun to do, they make a big difference and allow us the keep school open and not spread COVID 19.

During the ongoing COVID pandemic, there have been many rules that we have to follow. Some of them include social distancing, no gatherings, and quarantining. I personally hate all of these rules because it doesn't allow me to hang out with friends and family, and have fun in person. However, I know that these rules are for a good reason and that I should be able to follow these rules knowing that they are beneficial for my health and for others' health. Overall, these rules really suck, but they are for the better good of our well being.

A nurse copes with the loss of a patient.

There are too many rules and procedures for a simple virus that %99.97 of people under 25 recovers from. 1. We have to wear a piece of paper or cloth over our face. 2. We must stay 6 feet from every person that comes near us. 3. If your nose is showing you must move face-covering approximately one inch up your face. 4. If you do not have a piece of cloth or paper on your face you are not allowed to go inside any place or else you will be asked to leave. 5. You cannot be around people that are not part of your family. There are lots more than our stupid state wants us to do that I don't have time to name. It feels like people in government have lost all common sense and don't have an IQ higher than Forest Gump. None of this make sense, today I was outside and not around anyone so I thought with the smart part of my brain and took my mask off but that too is illegal. I can't wait until the people find their common sense and just basic knowledge. These rules makes us look like a communist country and they are the worst.

The rules that I have to follow are stay six feet apart, and wear a mask. I don't really have issues with these rules because I don't want to be sick, but if I had to say one thing that I don't like is always wearing the mask because sometimes and can be hard to breath especially if i have to wear one while im playing a sport.

From the Article by Patricia Mazzei: More than 400,000 people in the United States who had the coronavirus have died, according to data compiled by The New York Times on Tuesday, as the anniversary of the country’s first known death in the pandemic approaches.

When covid first started I don't think anyone knew what to do. Everyone was like wear a mask do this do that. I mean it really didn't seem necessary even now it still doesn't. I got called creepy for not wearing a mask. I think that yes we should take precautions but we also shouldn't have to be locked up. I mean eventually everyone is going to get covid. I mean there is really no escaping that. I mean we have to wear a mask, social distance, we can't eat inside any more. And I think it is the most idiotic thing ever in the history of things. I mean I get it if you are scared of covid I will respect you and keep my mask on but I mean come on really we can't take our masks off... At ALL! near ANYONE! In the entire time our nation has been around we have never EVER had to shut everything down. I understand masks and taking precautions and if your sick stay home but really lock down. I am just so fed up with this stupid covid lockdown.

We all celebrated when school closed. We were so excited for our 2 week "break", yet little did we know that 300 days later we would still not return to school and virtual learning was the new normal. That Friday, it was Friday the 13th of March 2020, I got to sleep over at my friend's house. Me, Scarlett, Ella, and Ava had our last sleepover. The four of us haven't had a sleepover since then. Then on Saturday morning my parents brought me home and told me the news. We were going to quarantine to avoid getting Covid-19. "What?" I asked, not understanding why. Then we went into quarantine for months. Each Saturday my family had house deep-cleaning day, where we would do the work normally done by my cleaning company. We would go on long family walks with my blue-nosed Pitbull Rowdy-Girl. We would wear masks that my mom and I made during the earliest days of quarantine when it was too difficult to find masks. Although I understood why it was important to wear a masks and practice proper social distancing, the disability to see my friends made me so sad. Having no face to face social interaction outside of my family and dog was impossible to me, I wish life was the same as before COVID-19.

While this pandemic was spreading, we had to take some drastic procedures so that it doesn't become more of an issue than it is. From basically March to August we had to quarantine ourselves indoors. Everyone over-prepared for it thinking that they would need 10 boxes of toilet paper. In September people stopped following the quarantine rule and started going about the day just like they used to. For the students, they had to do remote learning. They had to do calls instead of actually showing up to school. If people would go anywhere outside of their houses they would have to wear a mask, and stay at least 6ft apart from other ppl who are not your family.

When I was back in school, it felt weird having a mask on. Sometimes in the middle of the day, while day-dreaming, I would snap out of it and think why do I have this mask on? It felt a little weird and uncomfortable wearing a mask and not getting close to people. Finally, I am looking forward to not wearing a mask again.

For COVID-19, there are many rules to follow. Some are wearing a mask and being socially distanced. I have had a struggle following these in my everyday life. I think that some don't make sense because of others. For example, having to wear a mask outside, even though the government says that outside is wear you can take your mask off. They totally cancel each other. One of my teachers got COVID-19 and I had to stay home for 1 week to make sure that I am ok. I personally don't understand this because I have no symptoms and feel fine. Over all, it is a lot of work to go anywhere because of all of the rules.

A hard procedure to follow has been keeping 6 feet of distance between my friends. It is also kind of hard to breathe in a mask but its worth it to protect those I care about.

Because of the arrival of this new virus, Covid, we all need to follow new procedures to keep us safe. The Los Angeles County guidelines state that masks must be worn in public, we need to social distance, and more. The main rule that citizens must follow is to wear a mask. Experts say that masks can lower your chance of transmitting or receiving the virus because it would be harder to be in contact with the air particles. Although the masks are beneficial to keeping us safe, they can also make breathing harder. I personally do not like wearing masks but I respect it. I feel all citizens should respect the rules and wear a mask, even if they do not trust it. Out of all the procedures, we must follow, I wish one day we can stop wearing masks in public and attend big gatherings such as movie theatres and concerts.

The masks are the worst, but the other rules are o.k. I HATE wearing the masks all the time. The weirdest rule is the one that says we can't play wind instruments inside, as the only 2 instruments that would be a hazard would be the clarinets, because they are straight with no curves in the tubing. All the other instruments have areas where all the spit collects that are below the bell (opening) of the instrument. The likelihood of "dangerous" spit coming out is almost 0, especially for bassoon, and most brass instruments. There was one time where I asked the kid next to me to feel the inside of the boot one the long joint side (I play bassoon), and he was hesitant at first, but then he felt it, and THERE WAS NO SPIT! IT WAS NOT WET! The other side, however, is different story, but that is to be expected as all the spit travels through there, and gets stuck at the very bottom of the boot. Another one I think is absurd is the whole plexiglass-between-the-cashier-and-the-customer-rule, as it is supposed to prevent the transfer of Covid, but the cashier touches everything that the customer is buying. So it is practically useless.

The COVID-19 pandemic has a lot of rules that we have to follow. One of them is to wear masks all the time. Some people whine about wearing them and how they don't work, but those people just look for excuses to complain. Masks help me stay safe and make me feel more comfortable around others. At my school, we also have to take temperature checks every day. My mother checks mine at home, and we have to go in again for school. It normally isn't a big hassle, but it gets annoying when you are just waiting for the people to get the instruments needed to check us. And the lady that helps with the temperature checks is pretty mean. Overall, its not that big of a deal though. We also have to stay six feet apart, but the benches at lunch are not that big, so we end up sitting pretty close. I should probably try to maintain my distance from people more. The rules that we have to follow for COVID-19 aren't that difficult, and you get used to them pretty quickly.

Ever since the strike of Covid-19 we have had to make changes to our everyday lives. Some of these include wearing masks around people, sanitizing yourself and surfaces often, staying 6 feet apart from others, ect. Kids and teens also had to stay home and do school online (which I enjoyed). These procedures might be quite annoying or uncomfortable, but it makes it a lot easier to them when you know you're saving lives. Personally I think that the things that have changed or the things that we have to do are annoying, but i'd rather do that than have people die.

when covid first hit the first rule was to slow down international travel. this didn't work when there was an out break in Washington that spread fast. I didn't really mind this rule I just couldn't travel over summer but then they told people to stay six feet away from each other. this wasn't too bad either just I couldn't hang out with friends indoors and we couldn't go to a public place so we mostly surfed skated and built bike jumps. then they told us to wear masks. to avoid all these rules I never really left my naborhood unless go to my friends house and then we wouldn't go out side there naborhood. the masks where the worst it would make it hard to breath and stuff.

There have been many rules and procedures we have needed to follow during this COVID journey. From wearing masks to staying in our houses, they haven't been the most convenient, but they have been able to keep us safe (for the most part), and that is what counts. Today, I am going to write about my experience when I had COVID. I was the only person in my family who tested positive, and that meant I had to self quarantine. It was one of the worst times of my life, but it made me realize how much I had taken for granted. I was locked in my room for 7 days straight, and I could only come out to go to the bathroom or retrieve my food. It was a painstaking schedule. All I did was wake up, eat, do school, eat, go to bed. I thought it was never going to end, for those 7 days felt like 7 years. It was really weird to have my parents bring food to my room; I was so used to eating at the dining table and recounting my days' stories with my family. It was really hard and I felt very lonely not being able to see my family for that long. When the 7 days were up, I was aloud out of my room, but my parents were still cautious. They made me wear a mask when I wasn't eating and made me kind of social distance. It was maddening that I was finally free, but I was still contained, but I now realize that this was the best thing for their safety. Because of my experience, I have learned that the rules and procedures that are set in place by the government are there for our safety, and I will never take them for granted again.

There are a lot of new Covid rules. One of them that I don't like is that I can't visit with friends. There have been multiple times when I wanted to have a friend over at my house but couldn't because of Covid. I don't really care about the masks except that they ruined the fashion style for the next decade or more. The grade split sucks because most of my friends are in a different grade, but it's not too bad, because one of them got special permission to eat break and lunch with me so we can talk. Social distancing is also annoying but not too big of a problem. I also was doing school online fine. Overall, the Covid procedures are a somewhat minor annoyance.

There were quite a lot of COVID rules you had to follow throughout the pandemic. One of the rules were that you had to stay quarantined. This ruined my social life since I couldn't socialize with many people. Not socializing is actually very bad because once we come back to normal and the pandemic is gone, a lot of people won't remember how to socialize. Another rule was to stay clean and sanitized which I actually like because it decreases the risk of getting COVID. You also had to wear a mask when around other people to also decrease the risk of getting COVID. One of the bigger procedures was to stay 6 feet apart which a lot of people followed by, but others just ignored it. Later on through the pandemic, some of these rules were getting broken and more lenient. I find this good since a lot more people were socializing and having fun instead of sitting in your room all day.

The first really big change that happened was the masks. For the first month or so it was really hard to breath but I have gotten used to it. I also couldn't leave my house for a couple months and the only time i left my house was to go to the grocery store and I couldn't leave the car. I felt very happy to even just go into the car. Staying in the house for that long got kind of boring though.

We have been told to wear masks (which have been proven to work) for almost a year now, yet some people still believe the virus is a hoax and masks are taking away their rights. This is only making things worse. I'm not allowed to see any of my friends or family for all of our health and safety, yet I see kids from my school post pictures of them with big groups of friends and no masks! It saddens me that nobody is truly taking Covid guidelines seriously.

Many rules were created as the pandemic continues. Social distance and wearing masks are some of the rules. I was not used to these rules at first because I don’t usually wear a mask. Especially in the summer, when the day is hot, covering half of your face is not comfortable. A lot of the rules are not pleased to follow, but they are helpful.

Rules that I have had to follow were at school where we had to wear a mask also social distance and only able to walk in a certain direction also when you are sick you have to stay home and wash your hands. My feelings about it all are good I just don't like wearing a mask all day. I also feel like it's a little hard to not give your friends a hug or anybody a high five I feel like that's really the hardest part about this.

On March 10, 2020 it was announced that California is on lock down. Now there was many rules going around but the main one wearing masks and staying at home. At the beginning everything was shut down every restaurant, beach, and business. As time when on people started to get bored. Including me I practically watched every show on Netflix. About four months went by and things started opening up. By then everyone was sick of masks and social distancing. The main thing that opened up were beaches and everyone was excited again. Then they were closed again. And then they were open. It was kind of a big cycle that just went on and on. All the rules were kind of weird and like controlling but then they became normal to me. I can't imagine a life without a mask. In conclusion, I don't necessarily like the rules but they became easy to follow.

During the pandemic, I've seen a lot of people not following the rules. For example, one time I was at trader joes with my mother. We were standing in line and this one lady didn't have a mask on. This was before the mask mandate. She asked one of the crew members if she had to wear a mask. When he said you don't have to, but we greatly encourage you wearing, she put the mask back in her purse and walked into the story. I mean it's fine if she wants to get covid, but now she is putting everyone else in the story, and the employees at risk. Another time, I was hanging out with my friends, we were all wearing masks except this one girl. She didn't even bother to put a mask on. A different time we hung out, she had a mask on because I asked her to wear one, but she kept taking it off and putting it back on. It was very annoying and I was so angry because she doesn't really think covid is real. As for me, I take wearing masks very seriously and I make sure it is always above my nose. I don't mind wearing a mask, it doesn't make a difference. But I missed being at school for so long.

During COVID-19, there are many procedures you have to follow. We had to stay inside our houses. It has been about a year-long process. At first, it was fun adapting to a new lifestyle, but after a while, I wanted to go to places and it was starting to get boring. However, I was able to talk to my friends over the phone and through a chatting application called discord. Another procedure was staying six feet apart. With friends, this was not so bad of a rule, but with family, it is always nice to be able to hug your loved ones. However, we would use air hugs and it was kind of fun. Overall, COVID-19 procedures were fun at the start, but over time, they would get boring and we had to find new ways to get around it.

This past year we have had to follow so many new rules for Covid-19, some of these rules are wearing a mask, social distance, and not being able to go into some places. One time i got in trouble because I was playing basketball in a Gym and we had to wear a mask at all times, but I hate the mask cause I cant breath in it while Im playing so i took it off for less than a minute and one of the employees got mad at me. I don't like any of the rule cause as a kid I don't want to have to do all of these things, I just want to live my life and not lose a whole year of my life.

When Covid struck in the United States on March 14, 2020, I wasn't worried that my school had been shut down. I thought it was a chance to get out and see new things. Boy was I wrong. My mom and dad were extremely nervous, as scientists had found Covid-19 affected the lungs, and I have a massive problem with my lungs, as I only have half of a right lung. I also have type 1 diabetes, so it would be even more of a problem if I got it. The government told everyone to stay home, and go out only for emergencies or supply runs. Stores could only have 20% capacity, so my mom had to wait outside of stores for hours just to get in! They also told us to wear a mask whenever going into public scenarios. Our current president at the time, Donald J Trump, refused to wear a mask, and he tested positive 7 months in to the pandemic. Over the summer, the numbers in our area started to go down, so my mom and dad decided we could resume normal life cautiously. The first time I had gotten out in months was a mountain bike ride around our neighborhood. It was good to get out after months of staying in! I had also noticed a decrease in my health, as I had been sitting inside. for most of the summer and fall, things were good. But then in December, disaster struck even harder. My neighbor got it, and we did not wear a mask at all! Thankfully, we were not in close enough contact for us to contract it. After that, I had become a whole lot more conservative on going out and seeing others. As you can see, Covid has affected me heavily, and I am done with having to wear a mask 24/7 365.

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, one of the things that I least enjoyed about it was staying indoors. This was not very fun. One particular time, I asked my dad whether we could go outside to play. He said no, and it was very frustrating at times. Later, I realized that I could just play indoors. This realization made me much less bored, and it helped get through when we couldn't go outside at all.

Much earlier, I rode horses in a place called Spirit, a horseback riding camp where horses would be boarded and ridden. At that place, there were 2 equestrian dressage trainers (there were many more in the facility, but I did not interact with them) called Kim and Madalin. One of the 2 came to the facility with a running cold and slight fever, the EXACT symptoms of COVID-19. Thing is, COVID-19 was not in the media yet. It was only about the start of January. Then, the fever spread like wild fire across the facility, just as infectious as COVID-19. Again, COVID-19 was not in the media yet, and nobody was scared about it, jus mad at Madalin for brining the fever to the facility. Everyone got it, but everyone recovered just fine. Then the lockdowns started to occur around the date listed. Nothing changed much about my life because of it, since most of my life was spent indoors already. The only major thing was the need to do school digitally rather than in person. It was a big change, but not as big as some of the other people who was put into quarantine. This continues for quiet a while...

A large procedures that I had to follow was social distancing and waring a mask. Social distancing was at first very hard for me to follow. I am a very social person and talking to people is what keeps me sane. Having to stay away from people for me was like taking a lollipop from a baby. It was very difficult. A way I found to talk to people and still follow the procedure was doing FaceTime calls. Another procedure that was very tough for me at first was wearing a mask. For the first couple of months It was so irritating to tho point where I would wake up with my face itchy. Eventually though it has became second nature to me. Overall life throws situation at you and it all about how you handle them. I have found the best way for me is to tackle them head first.

I have followed the protocols and restrictions as best I can, but there are always people who think we're not doing enough. One story was when my grandmother was shopping, and when she got out of the store, she took her mask off. Someone saw her with here mask off while she was putting her groceries in her car, and someone doing the same near her saw someone wearing a mask and walking by, and he said rather loudly (so my grandmother could hear him), "Oh good, you're wearing a mask. Some people don't." My grandmother almost walked over to the man and said, "Oh, you mean this mask?" waving her mask around. This is an example of people passively shaming people, and I do not like that.

Once quarantine began, rules and procedures were rather lightly enforced. Masks were worn here and there and social distancing was overrated. Not many people chose to wear masks as they were not required yet. Everyone was aware of COVID lurking around the country, but not many were concerned until cases began rising in local counties. As this happened, many stores and businesses started requiring masks, social distancing, etc. I wasn't a fan of it at all, like most, but I began appreciating it for safety as months past. Thankfully, there has only been a couple people I know that have tested positive. Fortunately, there also has not been any bad encounters with following rules and procedures in public. I am currently so fed up with all these overwhelming, complex rules and quarantining, but I understand they are enforced for health and safety reasons.

When I heard that we had to wear masks and keep 6 feet from each other, I didn't really mind it and thought it was a good procedure. I didn't think anyone would follow the 6 feet apart rule, although they would still wear their mask. About self-quarantining, I also though that it wouldn't have been much of a problem other than having to stay home from school. Even now the masks and social distancing don't bother me at all and I can follow them pretty well. I just think of it as keeping others safe if I dont really care about my own, which I still do though. But, if I dont for whatever reason I'll keep in check by reminding myself to care for others too.
