Description (Dublin Core)

Personally, I do not know anybody who has gotten COVID-19 super well. The closest person who was in my life the most before he got diagnosed is my amazing history teacher, Mr. Newman. Thankfully, the risk is very low that we got the virus from him. We sit behind plexi-glass, sanitize our hands, clean our desks, and stay six feet away. Mr. Newman and his family are hanging in there. He is currently teaching from zoom and we have a super cool camera that goes 360 degrees around the classroom. It is called an owl camera. It zooms in on whoever is talking and makes virtual learners and teachers feel like they are actually in the classroom. Mr. Newman is well enough to be on zoom, however I can imagine that he probably does not feel great. I've seen some posts on a huge social media app called TikTok about symptoms of COVID-19. People of all ages, mostly teenagers, post comedy, dancing, informative, and pointless videos for everyone to see. People have talked about loosing taste and smell, coughing, and even more severe symptoms. Many who have permanent taste-loss from COVID-19 have tried a Jamaican remedy that helps people regain taste. You burn an orange until it is charred on a gas-lit fire stove. Then you peel it and eat the insides. If I get COVID-19 in the future and loose taste, I defiantly want to try making it. My great aunt passed away from COVID-19. She was not really a part of my life. I don't remember her at all. Her husband also tested positive and was hospitalized, however he recovered with some lung damage. My immediate family and I have been very careful which I believe is the reason why we have gotten minimal COVID-19 exposure and no familial positive tests. I am very thankful that we are all healthy.
