Masks: Masks aren't too bad (unless you wear them for a while), you just have to remember to wear them correctly but it is hard to communicate with them and Plexiglas between you.
Social Distancing: It's easy to forget especially when you're with your friends and you want to talk to them.
Temperature Check: It's very quick.

The last year in change has consisted of way too many rules and procedures mandated to be followed. Rules such as mask wearing, social distance, occupancy limitations, etc. All of which are crazy and unnecessary. Masks have been scientifically proven by tons and tons of scientists and sources that they do very little to protect you, and honestly only harm you. Masks prevent your oxygen intake drastically especially when working out when you need it the most. People have developed breathing issues from mask wearing and masks have done almost nothing to protect you from covid 19. Right now, cases are said to be at their highest, when nearly all Americans are wearing their masks everywhere they go. Something's up because either the cases are fake or masks don't work. It's one or the other. Social distancing can help, sure, but realistically nobody is doing that and unless you are part of the elderly population it doesn't even matter. Getting covid is literally the flu. It comes and goes. The flu is just something people get and have to deal with it isn't a big deal. A virus with over 99% survival rate is being freaked out upon like it's the Black Plague. Unless you are the elderly you really have nothing to worry about so I'm not sure what we're doing all this 'protection' for.

I have to wear a mask everyday, I have to social distance and I have to wash my hands. I think that it is very annoying to wear a mask but you get used to it. We are not able to go places a lot and you have to stay inside for most of your day. I really don't like having to keep of with my mask all of the time because I lose it a lot.

The rules have changed since March 2020, we have to wear masks, social distance, and follow the CDC instructions, and these rules have changed the way the world is, but it's not unbearably bad. One thing that has changed is that you don't see people crowded in a small space anymore and places are a little quieter and empty. Another thing is that its harder to enjoy the things we used to do, like eating in certain restaurants, hanging out with friends, etc. These rules may have changed our lives and made them slightly less convenient but we will survive.

When the pandemic started, it was very different from normal times. We had to start waiting outside markets to go in because we had to have a certain amount of people in there. I usually go to markets such as Gelsons, Trader Joe's, Ralph's, and Vons, which all had lines. We always had to wear masks wherever we went, expect at home, exercising and while driving. At the beginning of the pandemic, we wore gloves used a bunch of sanitizer or rubbing alcohol and we still do. If we want to hang out with friends or anyone outside our household, we have to be outside and 6 feet apart, which is kind of a bummer. My feelings of all of this, 9 months in, is that I think that these precautions are necessary for us to be safe, but can be annoying some of the time. I think that restrictions have eased now despite the rise in cases.

Ever since Corona Virus there has been many new rules and procedures that all of us have had to follow, here are my thoughts and feelings on them. One of the biggest things we have had to do is wear a mask. I feel this is totally unnecessary and not a good rule. If anything only the sick and people who are scared should wear a mask. They are very controlling and considering how not deadly the virus is they are not needed. Social distancing makes no sense at all because they say the masks work so well, then why do we need to stay apart. An example of it not making sense is on a plane. On a plane they fill it completely with people jam packed next to each other for hours, but as soon as you are getting off you have to social distance, it makes no sense. Keeping everyone shut down is not ok. People aren't able to provide for their family because of a virus that's less harmful than the flu. The people that are scared should stay home, but not everyone because the only thing that is happening, is our immune systems are growing weaker and weaker because we are not exposed to the outside germs. They are trying too hard to make us avoid sickness and they are acting like we didn't risk our health every day before the virus.

There are a lot of changes in the world right now to make sure that everyone is safe and healthy. Some of these changes are wearing a mask when leaving your home, staying 6ft away from other people etc. One of the biggest changes is closers of some of the publics favorite places to go such as movie theaters, various restaurants, also guys and parks. These changes have made a wild impact on the way we interact with the world and other people.

Well at school we have to travel around the school in one way and if you forget something you have to go around the entire school to get it and then go back its a lot of work. Otherwise actually enjoy Covid I get to sleep and play video games all day. So to future generations when your studying covid-19 think about it from our perspective. I challenge you to think about everyone who went though what I am currently going though. So enjoy life and treat everyone how you would want to be treated.

To start, I understand that these procedures were made to try to keep people as safe as possible, but some of them just don't make sense to me. As of now we can go out of the house, we can not go to restaurants, but we can go to stores, and essential businesses. My problem is that we can go into grocery stores and stay around 3 feet apart, and not go to restaurants, the legal way. Then if you go three major cities away to Las Vegas, the rules are completely different, it is almost normal, just with masks. The problem is that people should be staying home as much as possible, but with the policing not being good enough, people are getting away with still going to parties, restaurants, and other people's houses. I also think that people are just trying to get into spotlights, everyone is trying to get to the top page of the news, it sucks. Anyway, today is inauguration for Biden, so we will see what will happen, thank you for reading my archive.

Some Covid-19 procedures the we have to follow consist of wearing a mask, stay 6 feet apart from one another, don't leave your house unless necessary. I think that the mask is a good procedure, but some masks are just too heavy and hard to breathe out of. So masks could be lighter but filtered properly. 6 feet apart makes no sense because the virus can jump from person to person farther that 6 feet. For leaving your house unless necessary is just flat out stupid because its a law to always wear a mask and social distance so why do people care if we leave our house. And they wonder why some kids are antisocial.

There are many new rules specifically for COVID-19, some seem to be good and others not so much. Some of the rules we have to follow at school are we have to always wear masks when around people, we have to be six feet apart from everyone, we have to constantly sanitize our hands and everything we touch, and we always have to eat outside. We are lucky because we get to be one of the only schools open, but it definitely is not fun having a mask on for almost 7 hours. Eating outside and always sanitizing isn't as bad, but the six feet apart rule is also very annoying.
-
2021-01-20
One rule that we have to follow is to keep you mask on at all times. I feel like it is necessary but sometimes its gets a little annoying with the mask. Another rule would be 6 feet apart I think it does work. But I feel when you are 6 feet apart from someone you should be able to take off your mask only when you outside. Lastly We have to walk certain paths in school to get to class. I don't like this because some of my classes are far away from each other and it takes a long time to get there without covid. But with this new rule I have to go around the whole school and take the 7th grade stairs. This are some of the rules we have to follow and how I feel about them.

The rules and procedures are pretty simple. You have to wear a mask whenever you are in groups or gatherings and you have to stay 6 feet apart from everyone. I obey these rules and I think that they are very helpful. I think that if we do the simple things like wearing a mask and staying 6 feet we can defeat this virus. Nobody likes wearing a mask but you have to obey the rules.

The rules I have to follow to be good during school is I have to wear a mask I have to social distance and I have to wash my hands as much as I can. It is really hard wearing a mask all of the time but I get used to it.

Some of the many rules for Covid is that you have to wear masks at places. I personally think masks are bad/useless because you can't breath, they give me headaches, and they don't really help. Also, they should not be forcing people to wear them and should be glad when people are wearing them and not complain about it being over their nose. Another rule that some stores have is that they limit the number of people that can go into a store. Honestly, this is just kinda pointless and makes doing something take much longer than it needs to be. Some thing people also do is social distance and use hand sanitizer, which is gross and really bad for your hands. Overall, I think these rules are unnecessary and should not be forced.

My name is Annie Nguyen and during quarantine, I have discovered my love for painting. I soon developed a talent for painting over the months and I curated this skill using the hours freed up by the pandemic. Locked indoors, I had nothing but free time. With free time to spend, I devoted all that time to painting characters from anime series and beloved movies. At first, I would display these painting on my bed mantle. However, I would soon run out of room as I painted more! Then I thought of the genius idea to assemble them as a collage on the side of my dresser. Now as I look at these painting, I am reminded of the positive of this pandemic.

To me, I have yet seen any changes in my life due to the pandemic. Before I have always been home and the only place I would leave my house for was school. The only thing that has change is waking up early and trying to get to school on time. Since the pandemic has closed school, I just needed to wake up and join the zoom call with one click of the button. When I do go outside, I have to wear a mask and sometimes I do forget but It hasn't bothered me since the places I go are near by and it didn't take much to go back to my house. This picture is important to me as is really describes how my experience of the pandemic has been. Lazy and tired are two words that describes how I been feeling throughout this pandemic.

Covid came with a lot of goods and a lot of bad's one of the bad's being the restrictions that covid has. The worst one is probably the mask we have to wear. Don't even get mad started on the social distancing. Overall covid came with a lot of goods and bad's.

I get all the rules and how they are necessary to be healthy but the one thing that sucks the most about Covid is the masks. Image riding down to the grocery store with your friend and when you get down there the person says you can't enter without a mask. Then you have to ride all the way back to your house gat something soft to go over your face then you can go back. You get back to the store you go in and there is no more toilet paper or hand sanitizers. You walk past that weird aisle and then you get to the candy aisle, every kid's heaven. You grab your favorite candy then get in line. yo get to the line and realize that it wraps around the store. You run to the back of the line to make sure you save your spot. You grab out your phone to text your mom that your going t be late. She says yeah I get it its Covid. You chat with your friend about all the other stuff that is going on in the world like BLM and Trump not being president anymore. You finally get to the front of the line you buy the candy and head back to your house. That's covid for you my friend says.

There are so many rules and regulations we have to follow because of the covid 19 outbreak. For example, whenever we are indoors at a restaurant, a grocery store etc. We have to wear a face mask, which are supposedly keeping us from catching the virus. But it who knows if they really are doing anything, sure does not feel like it. In the state of California you can also not eat indoors, all restaurant seating as to be outside, but in LA county they have closed all restaurant seating. All stores currently have a maximum capacity for how many people they are aloud to have in the store at a time. Just for me to get in the store to get groceries or something you have to wait in line! It is really annoying. They have closed hair, and nail salons, so no one can go and get there hair or nails done! Furthermore, to go to certain vacation spots you have to be tested for corona. Like Hawaii, since I am supposed to go for this upcoming ski week, I will have to get a negative covid test before I am aloud on the plain to go to Hawaii. I cannot wait to go back to normal when we do not have all these regulations controlling our lives.

One rule we have to follow is wearing a mask. I do not mind this rule but I also do not like it. If I had a choice I would go without a mask but I wear it for everyone else safety. The mask makes it hard to breath especially when doing an activity. Another rule we have to follow is waiting outside a store because there is to many people inside already. I do not like this rule because it takes up a lot of time. Having to wait in line is so boring especially if you only need one thing from that store. Another rule is you can not go to sporting events. I love going to sporting events with my family. But because of COVID there are no fans aloud which sucks. Sports have gotten really boring on the TV. I don't really watch sports on the TV any more because its so boring. Going and seeing your favorite team in person is so much better.

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.

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.

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"

2021-01-19
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.
-
2021-01-19
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.

2021-01-19
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.
-
2021-01-19
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.
-
2021-01-19
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.

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.

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.

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.
