Sanaysay Tungkol Sa Enhanced Community Quarantine

Tama naman ang mga tao sa social media. Ginagawa naman talaga ng pamahalaan ang ECQ hindi lang dahil gusto nila.

May quarantine naman talaga para sa ating kapakanan. Madali lamang kung tutuusin ang manatili sa bahay. Instant bakasyon nga para sa ilan. Ngunit hindi naman lahat ay ganito ang kaso.

Maraming Pilipino tuloy ang nakaranas ng gutom sa panahong ipinatutupad ang ECQ. Maraming mahihirap ang hindi nakatanggap ng tulong.

Maraming mahihirap ang lalo pang nahirapan dahil sa hindi sistematikong pagpapatupad ng quarantine. Ayos lang naman sana magpatupad ng quarantine para hindi na kumalat pa ang nakamamatay na virus.

Sa mga susunod na panahon, kung kailangang ipatupad ang quarantine (huwag naman na sana), ay dapat mas paghandaan ito ng pamahalaan upang hindi maging pasakit sa marami.

Baka tuluyan nang mawala ang mainit na yakap sa isang kaibigang hindi nakita nang matagal. Hindi na uubra ang umiikot na tagay; unhygienic na rin marahil ang metaphorical na kadaupang-palad at kabungguang-balikat. Mahirap nang manawagan ng pagkakapit-bisig at balikatan dahil, alam mo na, social at physical distancing kahit sa antas ng talinghaga. O malalaos kahit na nga siguro ang makipag-high-five o makipagkamay sa kapwa. Mauuso na across ages ang flying kiss. Mabuti na lang sinagot na ako ng nililigawan ko at nakapag-holding hands pa kami noong ligtas pa at alipin pa ng kilig; mabuti na lang pinakasalan na niya ako (nang walang pagsisisi?) at nagkaroon na ng dalawang anak bago pa ito mangyari. Gayunman, hindi ito garantiya para hindi mangamba.    

Lalo ngang dapat akong mangamba dahil ako ang pinakamalakas ang pangangatawan sa aming bahay, kaya sa akin nakapangalan ang quarantine pass na ginagamit ko tuwing pupunta sa sentro ng bayan dito sa lalawigan ng Quezon. Ito ay sa kabila ng katotohanang dalawa ang maintenance medicine na araw-araw kong iniinom sanhi ng pinabayaang kalusugan noong kabataan ko. Puwera pa ang gamot para sa recurring allergy ko. Hindi pa kasi ako nagsisi noon. Bakit ba kasi laging nasa huli? 

Gaya ng marami sa atin ngayon, hindi rin lumalabas ng bahay ang pamilya ko. Maliban na lamang noong Mahal na Araw, kung kailan naospital at naoperahan ang aking asawa sa labas ng aming bayan. Dati nang mahirap maospital, pero mas mahirap ngayon, lalo’t lumalatay ang salot kahit kanino, kahit saan, lalo sa mga ospital. Idagdag pa ang napakaraming dapat daanang checkpoint, kasama na ang pagpapaliwanag kung bakit kailangan naming lumabas ng bayan at magpa-confine. Nagpagawa ako ng clearance sa ospital – may bayad! – para lamang masundo kami ng isang nagmalasakit na kapitbahay (shoutout sa pamilya Baldovino! Salamat po!) nang ma-clear ng obstetrician-gynecologist para kami makauwi ng aking asawa.

Gusto ko lang linawin, walang kinalaman sa COVID-19 ang naging sakit ng aking esposa. Gayunman, trinato namin ang aming sarili na baka carrier na ng sakit, kaya matapos ang pagkaospital, nag-quarantine kami sa bahay para hindi mahawa ng kung anumang dala naming virus at mikrobyo ang aming mga anak. Nagkaroon ng quarantine area within a quarantine area. Pero kailangan ko ngang lumabas dahil sa akin nakapangalan ang quarantine pass na inisyu ng kapitan ng aming barangay.

Dinadaluyong ako ng alalahanin habang nasa ospital at nagbabantay sa maysakit na maybahay. Iniisip kung sapat ba ang pagkaing naiwan namin sa bahay para sa aking dalawang batang anak at sa senior citizen na biyenan, para sa kung ilang araw. Paano kung may isa sa kanilang hindi naging mabuti ang pakiramdam? Paano na ang gamutan? May ipambabayad pa ba kami kung maoospital? Sa mga sandaling iyon, hiniling ko sa Diyos na sana ibalik na lang ako sa nasakanayan. Bumalik ako sa karaniwang buhay. 

Pero, tanong ko pa rin sa sarili habang nasa ospital, ano ba ang nasakanayan at karaniwang buhay ang babalikan ko?  

S arado ang mga establisimyento dahil sa enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) sa bayan kung saan naroroon ang ospital. Bumibili ako ng makakain at iba pang pangangailangang pang-hygiene sa isang bayaning convenience store, mga isang kilometro ang layo sa ospital. Sa isip ko, gusto ko na lang bumalik sa karaniwang araw. Oo, kahit na naka-ECQ kami sa bahay. Iyon na ang tinatanggap kong babalikang karaniwan. Hindi na ang pre-COVID-19 na karaniwan.

Sa loob ng mahigit isang buwan buhat nang maging kondenado akong hindi muna pumasok sa trabaho, ang itinuturing ko nang pangkaraniwan ay itong naka-schedule ang bawat kilos sa tuwing lalabas para mamili sa bayan. Ito na ang aking nakasanayan. Kaya pag-uwi mula sa ospital noong Pasko ng Pagkabuhay, parang kaygaan-gaan na ang mamili, kaysayang pumila sa palengke. Buo na ang diskarte na noong mga unang araw ng ECQ, parang parusang puwersahang ipinataw.  

Namumuhay akong mag-isa nang matagal na panahon. Kahit pa nang magkapamilya, sa Maynila naman ako nagtatrabaho samantalang narito sa Quezon province ang aking pamilya. Halos sarili ko lang ang aking kargo. 

Kaya nang mag-ECQ, hindi na bago sa akin ang mamalengke. Ang bago lang sa akin ay ang minute difference ng mga produktong pambabaeng dapat kong bilhin para sa aking pamilya. Oo, bawat pagpunta sa bayan ay kasabay ng bagong kaalaman, gaya ng pagkakaiba-iba ng with wings, non-wing, long, maxi, dry, thin, ultra thin, cottony, at overnight na akala ko noon ay pare-pareho lang dahil, di ba, pare-pareho lang ang tatak? Sa sabong panlaba at pambanlaw na kemikal, dapat maging pamilyar ako sa amoy at tatak at flavor. Sa mantika, may galing sa coco at palm. Tumibay din ang paniniwala kong sinungaling ang maraming patalastas na nagsasabing kaya nilang lipulin ang sebo sa plato sa kaunting patak. Mga ganyan. 

Kaya, nakatatawa man, hindi ako gaanong apektado ng mga viral social media posts ng mga mister na nagsesentimyento  o mga mister na kung dati’y kumpiyansa ngayon naman ay binabagabag na ng pagdududa sa pagbili ng produktong papasa sa mapanuring panlasa ng kani-kanilang kapareha. Totoo, masasayang anekdota ang dulot sa atin ng obligasyong lumabas ng bahay sa kabila ng ECQ, lalo na ng mga taong nasanay sa pag-aaruga ng tunay na emperador ng bawat kabahayan. Masasaya paminsan-minsan ang malinaw namang middle-class privilege na makapili pa ng kakainin, maging pihikan o mag-demand sa brand na nakasanayan. Dahil totoo rin namang marami sa ating mga kababayan ang walang ganitong pribilehiyo noon. Lalo pa ngayon.    

Isa pang pribilehiyo ko ngayon ay ang maging bahagi ng isang small-town community effort para maging magaan ang pakikipagkalakalan ng kung ano-anong produkto, ang Lucban Online Tindahan , isang predominantly online gustatory adventure dahil sa samu’t saring iniaalok na tsibog. Dahil bukod sa tanyag na Pahiyas dito sa inari ko nang bayan, sikat din ang Lucban dahil sa masasarap na pagkain. 

Pero bagamat karamihan nga ay pagkain, maaaring makakita ng ilang non-food products. Una kong salang noong isang araw, maghanap ng sapatos dahil naiwan ko sa Maynila ang sapatos kong panlakad at pang-light workout. Mensahe ko: “Looking for training/running shoes. Size 9.5 or 43 (European size). Kahit segunda mano basta hindi gula-gulanit at wala pang radical repairs. Lucban area lang para madali ang transaksyon. PM me the photo and price. Any decent brand will do. Salamat. Kailangan ko lang ng panlakad at pang-light cardio workout.” Wala pang isang oras, may nag-PM na sa akin, iniaalok sa murang halaga ang kaniyang kasukat kong cross-trainer ng isang tanyag na brand ng sapatos na hindi nagamit dahil maliit ang sukat. Mutually beneficial na maging pera ang ibinigay sa kaniyang sapatos na magagamit ko naman sa twice-a-week 3-kilometer walkathon patungo at pabalik mula sa bayan kapag mamamalengke o bibili ng gamot. Tapos ang transaksyon kinabukasan sa meet-up na naganap. Pati ang asawa kong nagpapagaling ay nalilibang ngayon kaoorder ng pagkain sa online forum, na bukod sa mistulang shoppping mall, avenue na rin ng pakikipagkumustahan at tsismisan minsan ng bayan.    

Talk about closed-community ties at inciting robust local economy, hindi nakapagtatakang sa mga darating na araw, hangga’t wala pang nababanaagang linaw kung saan patungo itong ECQ dulot ng virus, at – huwag naman sana! – maubos na ang panggastos dahil sa kawalan ng trabaho, magiging job placement site na rin ang online tindahan. Alam kong marami rin sa iba-ibang bayang umaasa ngayon sa small-scale at mabilisang kalakalan over social media.    

Sa totoo lang, kung aabot sa ganoong sitwasyon, pupuwede uli akong kumayod sa panaderya gaya ng trabaho ko noong ako ay nasa elementarya. O kaya, handa uli akong magpa-interview para sa papasuking bagong trabaho. Ma’am/Sir, hindi po ako maselan, handa po akong muling magsanay at matuto. Dahil hindi dapat ako masanay sa nagiging karaniwan nang pangamba, lalo’t ako ang inaasahan ng aking pamilya.    

Ma’am/Sir, PM is the key. – Rappler.com

Reflections from our Students on “A Day in my Life During Covid-19″

Here are some reflections from our students here at Xavier School in San Juan, Philippines as part of the Global Student Stories Project A Day in my Life: living under the Covid-19 Pandemic . We hope you enjoy reading them. 

A Day in my Life: Zachary 18, Xavier College San Juan, Philippines

The COVID-19 pandemic has definitely shaken our society, especially here in the Philippines. The country and government’s response to the sudden surge of cases in the Philippines was sluggish to say the least. Moreover, the distribution of supplies and food items to both ordinary citizens as well as frontliners continues to be inefficient. News of politicians choosing to label relief goods for their constituents with their names means that time was wasted instead of just handing out the relief goods as soon as possible. More than just being saddened by the cancelation of our graduation I recognize that there are many more concerns in our country that require our attention. The shut down of businesses has truly hit our country hard, as a whole. It especially affects blue collar workers and employees who generally live on a paycheck to paycheck basis. It is immensely frustrating that the government continues to respond late to the needs of the people during this troubling time. In my case I am very grateful that my family is not one that is greatly affected by non-essential businesses being shut down during the quarantine. I cannot begin to feel what the frontliners in our hospitals throughout the country are experiencing right now. I am thankful that I am at home safe and that all I need to do to stay safe is to follow the rules of the community quarantine. However, I have an uncle who is a doctor and is currently serving as a frontliner in PGH. Every day I pray for his well-being that he may be able to stay healthy until this pandemic ends and he is able to come home safely. In light of all the negative effects of this pandemic there have also been little acts of kindness by ordinary people which make their way into the news. People showing that despite what’s going on in the world right now we still need to stick together and lend each other a helping hand throughout this crisis. I see Jesus in the frontliners who sacrifice their health to help people recover from the virus. When thinking and reflecting about the future I am just flooded with emotions, namely relief, anxiety, and hopefulness. I am relieved to hear that the Philippines is starting to eliminate the COVID-19 virus, it’ll be like the light at the end of a dark tunnel. I will be overjoyed when the news comes that we may start to leave our houses again and attempt to live life as we did before the pandemic. However with this sense of relief may also come a sense of anxiety, countries like Singapore have experienced second as well as third waves of the virus and that may very well happen to the Philippines too. Lastly, the future makes me feel hopeful that from this pandemic we learn to be more prepared. Hopefully measures will be put in place to be able to help the less fortunate during the next pandemic. Our society should learn to be able to wrap our arms around one another in a time of crisis like this. Hoarding of supplies such as alcohol and masks should no longer be a practice the next time we encounter a virus similar to this. Instead we must help our neighbor and learn to look out for one another which indirectly helps you protect yourself from the virus as well. God is calling for us to exercise the Filipino quality of “bayanihan” so that we may be able to get through this pandemic together united as a country.

  A Day in my Life: Juancho 17, Xavier College San Juan, Philippines A month into the enhanced community quarantine, everything still feels so surreal. The situation at hand has severely crippled our nation, as there are currently more than 6500 Filipinos who have been diagnosed with the coronavirus, as well as around 500 deaths no thanks to the aforementioned pandemic. However, thanks to the frontline healthcare workers, there have been close to 650 recoveries as of writing.

The repercussions of COVID-19 are endless, with many families struggling financially as multiple companies have laid off several employees as a result of the economic strain which the pandemic has caused. Personally, I feel really lucky and blessed that I still have a roof over my head and get to eat three meals a day during a time when there are countless people who can only wonder where their next meal will come from.

When the lockdown was announced, I felt anger, annoyance, and anxiety. I was angry because my senior year was cut short, but primarily because I didn’t get the chance to march during the Graduation Rites, which was my main driving force for the whole year. I was annoyed because my plans for the long summer before college had suddenly gone down the drain. Finally, I feel anxiety because UP still hasn’t released the list of accepted applicants.

All of these emotions were heightened even further over the course of the past month, albeit for very different reasons. The slow government response to the pandemic is incredibly frustrating. Their failure to immediately address the issue as early as February exacerbated the spread of the virus in our nation, and today, some of our fellow countrymen are paying for this incompetence with their lives. This isn’t to say that all politicians are inept at leading the nation, as some local government officials have truly put the needs of their city above their own, which has truly been a glimmer of hope in this otherwise dark time.

The dark and uncertain times which we now live in has no doubt strained the faith of many people across the world, myself included. After all, why would God allow such suffering and sorrow to propagate amongst his people? It got to the point that I would question why my family prayed the rosary every night, or why we would say the prayers for COVID-19 at multiple times a day. Then at one point I realized, faith is what keeps us going in this time. Faith is directly related to hope, so by praying each night, we keep hoping for the future. God may have his own reasons for allowing this virus to augment and intensify, but it’s faith which keeps us sane as we hope for a future better than the present we are dealing with.

It’s scary to think of the future. Without a doubt, life will not be the same after this pandemic, but that’s okay. Our “normal” wasn’t working. That’s why it truly warms the heart to see several videos on social media which show strangers showing random acts of kindness towards the elderly, frontline workers, and other fellow citizens to ensure that we all get through this trying and turbulent time in the world. Hopefully after this is all over, that becomes the new normal. A world where we finally value what we have and act on a desire to be innately good as opposed to self-centered action.

  A Day in my Life: Drew 16, Xavier College San Juan, Philippines The current situation has affected my daily life to a significant degree. During the summer I would usually be able to visit my relatives and play games with my cousins. My family would usually go to our maternal-side’s house every Friday to be able to catch-up with them. Now we video call through messenger instead. This is so that our grandparents will be safe.

Aside from being stuck at home, I have to give more priority to my health and wellbeing. I’ve begun the habit of washing my hands more often, washing every other hour instead of washing my hands before eating.

Being stuck at home means that we all have a new type of life to live. All structure that we had beforehand are now nonexistent. This has been a blessing to me since now I can focus my time on exercising and other bucket lists that I have kept buried for a long time.

The epidemic has revealed a lot of the weaknesses of our society, as well as its strengths. We realize that our health system was not as effective as it seemed. In my own personal life, I begin to realize that much of my happiness has come from my social interactions with other people. Much of the things that I have looked forward to in the summer, like programmes, camps etc have been cancelled.

On the bright side I have given more priority to my studies and reviewing for the college entrance exams. I am lucky that time was given to me to reflect on my life and where I want to go.

I really hope that everyone else is safe and will find the best way to spend the time that this situation has given us.

A Day in my Life: Marcus 14, Xavier College San Juan, Philippines Ever since the outbreak of COVID-19, me and my family have not been able to freely go outside. One thing that I have changed in my daily lifestyle is that I have to reduce the amount of food I consume. One other change is that we are very focused on keeping our house and ourselves sanitized by regularly washing hands, disinfecting furniture, etc.

I would say that the biggest challenge in living within the outbreak of COVID-19 would be facing the fact that many of our fellow human beings, most especially our frontliners, are suffering amidst the pandemic. One other challenge would be the Enhanced Community Quarantine, where people are not allowed outside of their homes. However, the consolation of the situation is the lessons we would get from it. For example, it teaches us that we should always be prepared for a situation like this in the future. These have made me feel that the world is not perfect, but there are those people who can make it better and this is what society should learn.

My biggest concern regarding the pandemic is the consequences it causes, the death and suffering of many people, the economy, amongst others. My biggest hope is that the pandemic ends as soon as possible.

  A Day in my Life: Mat 16, Xavier College San Juan, Philippines We live in a time of unprecedented fear—merely going out of the house could start a descent into ill health, the social and economic systems we have set up are threatening to collapse, and political systems have shown their full deficiencies. In other words, the idea of community has sacrificed itself in service of individuality.

The full scale of that even rips apart the dynamic of families. Parents have more often than not lost their pay because of the global situation, but worse than this, children have become, in their eyes, even more “useless.” In this extraordinary time, ideas of filial duty and obligation break down and should no longer be fully accepted.

What people need to re-realize is that all our relationships have been built on love, the unconditional love of the most memorable Sacrifice, the perfect love of the Father. However, the love of the Father is meaningless without fear—fear that people will never return to him, fear that fear itself vanishes from us and makes us unafraid for others. Without fearing for the welfare of others, we cannot channel the ultimate Sacrifice on the cross. In this trying time, where communities have torn each other apart, fear for the loss of the communal good has vanished. Love for the fellow human has vanished. Contrary to expectations, the current situation has resulted into the deepest loss of the most fundamental unit of the community. The family has devolved into a sort of hateful contract of apparently one-way obligation. Fear for each other’s holistic welfare has been lost.

Now is the time to change that.

A Day in my Life: Richwynn 16, Xavier College San Juan, Philippines Disrupted routine.  Restrained movement.  Impersonal/Virtual communication.  These summarize my situation following the pandemic declaration and ECQ imposition.  As the world grapples with a powerfully-mutating disease, I have been riding on a roller coaster of emotions and realizations. My moments of desolation sporadically intersperse with a conscious, driven effort to dwell in a state of consolation.  Uncertainties and fear abound as I worry over drastic lifestyle adjustments and the duration of such while grieving over daily news of fallen frontliners and patients who were mostly deprived of their last farewell and/or receiving their last rites.  Meanwhile, this trying time proves human fallibility; and sheds truth that mankind’s scramble for recognition, power, wealth are seemingly worthless when what matters most now is safeguarding God’s gift of life – for self-survival or sharing this through saving others.

In light of Pope Francis’ message for the world to reconnect, I tend to tie this to the themes of Catholic social teachings by showing solidarity from simple acts of acknowledging our frontline warriors to inclusive participation of multi-ethnicities in medical research/clinical trials.  This pandemic effectively breaks man-made barriers stratified through GDP standing, gender, race and social stature; thus highlights that the very essence of human life/dignity is our responsibility to self in relation to our environment (care for God’s creation) and others (care for the needy and the vulnerable).

Telling Quarantine Stories Via Twitter in the Philippines

• June 10, 2020
• By Stephanie Desmon

At the start of the COVID-19-related shutdowns in the Philippines, Eric tweets that he “felt paralyzing anxiety. One day, I decided to get up & try to change that, and now I’m the healthiest I’ve been! I’m doing daily yoga in the mornings & HIIT in the afternoons. I’m on Day 54 of no smoking! Hoping these new habits stick!”

Gio tweets: “During these trying times, I enjoy studying Philippine geography. My goal is to study one region per day. I enjoy this activity a lot because it brings back memories during elementary” school.

The tweets are from the nascent KwentoQ Twitter account which was started about three weeks ago by staff from the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs based in Manilla. In Filipino, the official Philippine language, KwentoQ can mean both “quarantine story” and “my story.”

The idea behind the account is to build connections by having people from across the Asian nation share bite-sized stories about how they are coping during these unprecedented times caused by the pandemic. COVID-19 has killed more than 315,000 people around the world this year, including 846 in the Philippines.

“We are trying to build that sense of community,” says CCP’s Via Abellanosa, who is helping to lead the project. “In one sense or another, we are able to relate to each other.”

Abellanosa and her colleague Algin Gultia are also working with the Philippine government’s Department of Health on a website devoted to stemming the spread of COVID-19 and on a national public health campaign being developed to do the same. The government through the Department of Health promotes KwentoQ, Abellanosa and Gultia say, by asking people from across the Philippines to share their stories.

CCP’s COVID-19 is being conducted by its Breakthrough ACTION project with support from USAID.

The Twitter account was inspired by COVIDvoices , an account created by the U.S.-based staff of CCP to share stories and life hacks for enduring widespread stay-at-home orders there. Stories shared there include a tale of signing onto her local library’s Wi-Fi network from her car when working at home became impossible, and another about neighbors sharing pictures of their bookshelves in order to trade titles since the libraries remain closed.

Gultia says she loves hearing from other Filipinos about how they are coping and changing their behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic, behavior changes beyond physical distancing, more frequent handwashing and mask wearing.

“Life is not going to go back to what it was before,” she says. “We’re adjusting to our new normal. We want KwentoQ to be a tool to remind Filipinos to maintain these new behaviors.”

Epekto Ng Pandemya Sa Pamilya Halimbawa At Kahulugan

Ano ang epekto ng pandemya sa pamilya (sagot).

EPEKTO NG PANDEMYA – Dahil sa pandemyang COVID-19, maraming pamilya ang lubos na naapektuhan.

Sa simula ng pagkalat ng sakit na ito, nagpatupad ang gobyerno ng ilang lebel ng quarantine upang ma iwasan ang pagdami ng mga kaso ng COVID-19. Pero, ito’y naging dahilan ng pagkawala ng milyun-milyong trabaho.

Masakit man isipin, pero ito’y nagdulot ng maraming problema lalo na sa mga mahihirap na pamilya. Nagkaroon man ng SAP para ma tugunan ang konting pangangailangan ng pamilya, hindi pa rin ito naging sapat para sa karamihan.

Subalit, sa harap ng pandemya at quarantine, maraming pamilya ang mas napalapit sa isa’t-isa. Ito ang isa sa mga positibong epekto ng pandemya sa mga pamilya. Dahil sa quarantine, mas marami nang oras ang isa’t-isa para kilalanin ulit ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay.

Sama-sama na sa hapagkainan ang buong pamilya at mas marami ng oras para sa “family bonding”. Ngunit, hindi naman lahat ng pamilya ay na bigyan ng prebiliheyo na gawin ito.

Malaking parte ng mga pamilya ng mga ordinaryong mangagawang pinoy ang nahirapan ng lubusan dahil sa pandemya. Dahil sa kawalan ng trabaho, maraming pamilya ang hindi na naka kain ng husto. Bukod dito, napilitan ang mga kabataan na humanap na lamang ng trabaho para may maitulong sa pagkain.

Kaya naman, kung kayo ay kasama sa mga na bigyan ng prebiliheyo na magkaroon ng positibong epekto ng quarantine at pandemya, dapat itong pasalamatan ng lubusan. Gayunpaman, dapat din nating tulungan ang mga pamilyang lubos na nahirapan dahil sa pandemya hanggat sa makakaya natin.

Salamat sa inyong maiiging pagbabasa. Aming sinisiguro ang pagserbisyo ng bago at pinaka-tinatangkilik na balita. Hanggang sa susunod na mga bagong balita mula dito lamang sa Philnews.

Iba’t ibang home quarantine stories, alamin sa ‘Family Time!’

Family Time Home Is Where the Heart Is August 21, 2020

Stay at home ba kayo? Dapat lang! Pero hindi kailangan maging boring ang life sa bahay sa new normal. May comedy, may adventure at siyempre, may drama! Ang mga home quarantine stories ang tampok ngayong Biyernes sa "Family Time".

Sa halip na bumiyahe sa buong Pilipinas, handang-handa si Papa Drew na mag-ikot sa kanyang bahay! Isang home tour ng Casa Arellano ang ibabahagi niya. Nakapunta na ba kayo sa Great Wall of Alana?

Samantala, alamin naman natin ang pinagkakaabalahan ng iba pang Kapuso Stars mula sa kani-kanilang mga bahay. Ang beauty queen na si Michelle Dee, online gamer pala! Si Jasmin Curtis, kahit malayo sa pamilya, naging abala sa mga alagang-hayop at sa kanyang charity. Si Betong Sumaya, nagawang comedy ang buhay solo tuwing lockdown. At isa sa mga bida sa kuwento niya ay ang kanyang “Laba Serye”!

Pero may mga ilan na piniling gawing tirahan ang ibang lugar. Sa Siargao Island tumungo si Ara bago mag-lockdown. Paano niya nagawang makabuluhan ang pananatili niya rito ng halos limang buwan? Sa Coron, Palawan naman bumiyahe si Terrence kung saan ang turing na sa kanya ng mga Tagbanua ay pamilya.

Kung karamihan ay stay at home, ang istorya naman ng OFW na si Abu ay ang paglalakbay niya pauwi sa kanyang asawang si Joan at Baby Ameer. Magkaka-happy ending kaya ang pamilya?

Abangan ang lahat ng iyan ngayong Biyernes 830pm dahil Family Time is the best time!

Drew Arellano goes on a home tour of Casa Arellano. Kapuso Artists such as Michelle Dee, Jasmin Curtis and Betong Sumaya share their home quarantine stories. For the likes of Ara and Terrence, they went on their own journey and found homes away from the metro. Meanwhile, will OFW Abu be able to come back home to the loving arms of his wife and baby boy? Home is definitely where the heart is this Friday, 830pm on "Family Time"!

Ang mga Coronaviruses ay isang tipo ng mga viruses na nagdudulot ng lagnat, at sa ilang kaso, nagiging sanhi ng malalang sakit sa baga o paghinga/respiratoryo (SARS).

Madalas maging sintomas ng mga viral infections na ganito ang pagkakaroon ng mataas na init sa katawan, pagkakasakit ng katawan, sore throat, malalang pagsipon at pagubo. Sa halos lahat ng kaso, tumatagal ito ng ilang araw bago nawawala.   Nakikipagtulungan na ang Ministerio ng Kalusugan sa World Health Organization (WHO) upang matuksan ang patolohiya ng virus na ito.

What Students Are Saying About Living Through a Pandemic

Teenage comments in response to our recent writing prompts, and an invitation to join the ongoing conversation.

By The Learning Network

The rapidly-developing coronavirus crisis is dominating global headlines and altering life as we know it. Many schools worldwide have closed. In the United States alone, 55 million students are rapidly adjusting to learning and socializing remotely, spending more time with family, and sacrificing comfort and convenience for the greater good.

For this week’s roundup of student comments on our writing prompts , it was only fitting to ask teenagers to react to various dimensions of this unprecedented situation: how the coronavirus outbreak is affecting their daily lives, how we can all help one another during the crisis and what thoughts or stories the term “social distancing” conjures for them.

Every week, we shout out new schools who have commented on our writing prompts. This week, perhaps because of many districts’ move to remote online learning, we had nearly 90 new classes join us from around the world. Welcome to the conversation to students from:

Academy of St. Elizabeth; Abilene, Tex.; Alabama; Anna High School, Tex.; Arlington, Va.; Austria-Hungary; Baltimore, Md.; Bellingham, Wash.; Ben Lippen School; Bloomington, Ind.; Branham High School, San Jose, Calif.; Boston; Buffalo High School, Wyo.; Camdenton, Mo.; Cincinnati, Ohio; Collierville, Tenn.; Dawson High School, Tex.; Denmark; Desert Vista High School; Doylestown, Penn.; Dublin, Calif.; Dunkirk, N.Y. ; Eleanor Murray Fallon Middle School; Elmhurst, Ill.; Fairfax, Va.; Framingham, Mass.; Frederick, Md.; Hartford, Conn.; Jefferson, N.J.; Kantonschule Uster, Switzerland; Laconia, N.H.; Las Vegas; Lashon Academy; Lebanon, N.H.; Ledyard High School; Leuzinger High School; Livonia, Mich.; Manistee Middle School; Miami, Fla.; Melrose High School; Milton Hershey School, Hershey, Penn.; Milwaukee; Montreal; Naguabo, Puerto Rico; Nebraska; Nessacus Regional Middle School; New Rochelle, N.Y.; Newport, Ky.; Newton, Mass.; North Stanly High School; Oakland, Calif.; Papillion Middle School; Polaris Expeditionary Learning School; Pomona, Calif.; Portsmouth, N.H.; Pueblo, Colo.; Reading, Mass.; Redmond Wash.; Richland, Wash.; Richmond Hill Ontario; Ridgeley, W.Va.; Rockford, Mich.; Rovereto, Italy; Salem, Mass.; Scottsdale, Ariz.; Seattle, Wash.; Sequoyah School Pasadena; Shackelford Junior High, Arlington, Tex.; South El Monte High School; Sugar Grove, Ill.; St. Louis, Mo.; Timberview High School; Topsfield, Mass.; Valley Stream North High School; Vienna, Va.; Waupun, Wis.; Wauwatosa, Wis.; Wenatchee, Wash.; Westborough Mass.; White Oak Middle School, Ohio; and Winter Park High School.

We’re so glad to have you here! Now, on to this week’s comments.

Please note: Student comments have been lightly edited for length, but otherwise appear as they were originally submitted.

How Is the Coronavirus Outbreak Affecting Your Life?

The coronavirus has changed how we work, play and learn : Schools are closing, sports leagues have been canceled, and many people have been asked to work from home.

We asked students how their lives have changed since the onset of this pandemic. They told us about all the things they miss, what it’s like to learn online, and how they’re dealing with the uncertainty. But, they also pointed out the things that have brought them joy and peace amid the chaos.

Life as we know it, upended

Yesterday my school district announced that our school would be closed until May 5. Upon receiving the email, I immediately contacted my friends to share our responses. To most of my friends and me, this news was no surprise. Already finishing week one of quarantine, I find myself in a state of pessimism in regards to life in the midst of a pandemic. My days have blurred into Google Classroom assignments, hobby seeking, aimless searching on Netflix, and on exceptionally boring days, existential contemplation.

The dichotomy of chance freedom from school and yet the discombobulated feelings of helplessness and loneliness plague my time home alone. My parents are yet working and as an only child, I try my best to stay sane with blasting music and shows. Other times I call my friends to pass the time doing school assignments. Even then, schoolwork seems increasingly pointless.

With most of my classes being APs, the recent CollegeBoard update for the 2020 AP exams was a blow to my educational motivation. I am naturally a driven, passionate learner with intense intellectual curiosity. But in the midst of this chaos, I can’t help feeling like all the assignments from my classes are just busywork. I manage to stay afloat, keeping in mind that everyone is doing their best. Despite no ostensible end in sight, I hope this quarantine brings out the best in me, in society, and in nature.

— Brenda Kim, Valencia High School

The struggles (and joys) of distance learning

Although we do have online school now, it is not the same. Working from home is worse as I don’t care to admit, my work habits from home are not the best. I am easily able to procrastinate at home and having class in bed is not the best idea. Plus, I can no longer get the one on one help teachers provide if needed.

— larisa, california

The coronavirus affected me because now having to do school virtually is kinda hard because I don’t have much of a good wi-fi, and its nerve-racking to know about what we’re gonna do about the tests we have to take in order to pass because I do care about graduating, and going to next grade in order to keep going to finally graduate school and get my diploma I just hope this virus doesn’t affect anything else besides school.

— julien phillips, texas

I personally have to do 2-3 hours of work a day instead of the usual 8 hours (including homework), and it feels more tiring somehow. I’m in the comfort of my home all the time, but have to do this for a few hours, and it feels much more monotonous than 8 hours in a classroom, and that’s what everybody has been doing for a lot of their life.

But in that sense, it also feels a lot calmer not being around people constantly, having anxiety and autism. The people in classrooms are insane. It didn’t affect my life negatively by much, but it really makes me think. If the school system were like this in the near future, I think it would be much more sustainable, in many ways.

— Alexen, Lawrence, Massachusetts

I never understood how much social interaction I experienced at school until the end of the first week of my self quarantine. I had been trapped in my house with my family for about 5 days at that point, when my AP Language and Composition class had a Zoom conference. I had done them for other classes so I wasn’t exactly excited for the opportunity. It was just another zoom lecture.

As it turned out, it wasn’t a lecture, it was a conversation. It was a discussion about our last current events assignment that I didn’t know I desperately needed. The conversation was explosive. Differing opinions flew left and right, people brought their cats to join in the fun, family members popped in and out of the frames, and the controlled chaos felt incredible. I relished in the opportunity to argue and challenge their opinions. I didn’t even realize how isolated I was feeling until I was able to talk to them in a creative and intellectual setting once again.

— Yaffa Segal, New Rochelle High School

Finding new ways to socialize

Finding new ways to stay social has been essential, and recently, my friends and I all drove our cars to a large parking lot, parked more than 6 feet apart from each other, sat in our trunks, talked and enjoyed each other’s company for over an hour and a half. This was crucial in keeping our sanity. We missed each other and being in the presence of people other than our family; however, we were sure to maintain our distance and continue social distancing. We did not touch anything new and we stayed more than 6 feet apart from each other speaking about the adjustments we have been making and the ways we have been coping with all of the changes we are experiencing.

— Carly Rieger, New Rochelle High School

…[T]his “corona-cation” has given me a lot of time to reflect, and while I haven’t seen my friends in person for a week and half, I feel closer to them than ever. We’ve FaceTimed almost every day and we play some of our favorite group games; Psych and PhotoRoulette are two apps I highly recommend to have fun from the comfort of everyone’s homes.

Because my mom has a weak immune system, I’ve been quarantined since the moment my school closed, so social distancing has been a little more than 6 feet for me. However, my friends did make me a care package filled with my favorite candy and a puzzle which my family completed in a week.

— Jessica Griffin, Glenbard West HS Glen Ellyn, IL

Mourning canceled events

To say that this virus has completely changed my day to day living would just be an understatement. I went from having things to do from 7:20am to 8:45pm every week day to absolutely nothing. The whole month of March was going to be booked as well. I had activities such as the Wilmington Marathon that I work at and the Masters Swim meet that I was going to volunteer for. Then I had a club swim meet but everything got canceled. Everything that I was looking forward to just came to a halt and nothing is going to be postponed, just canceled.

— Ellen Phillips, Hoggard

As a High School senior, this quarantine has seemed to just chop off the fun part of our senior year. We had made it so far, and were so close to getting to experience all of the exciting events and traditions set aside for seniors. This includes our graduation, prom (which is a seniors only event at my school), senior picnic, theme weeks, and much more.

— Cesar, Los Angeles

Like many other students involved in their school theatre programs, I was severely affected by the closing of schools due the growing pandemic. My theatre company had been rehearsing our play for months and in an instant, we were no longer allowed to work on our show. The Texas UIL One-Act Play Contest was postponed because of the coronavirus, and while it is a reasonable action, it left an army of theatre students with nothing to do but vent through memes, TikTok, and other forms of social media. These coping mechanisms helped me, as well as my fellow company members, process the reality that after all the hard work we put in, we may never get to perform for an audience.

— Ryan C, Dawson High School

Living with mental, emotional and financial strain

The coronavirus is having a pretty significant impact on me. Physically, it’s reducing my daily physical activity to the point where the most exercise I get is walking around my house and dancing around my room to songs that make me feel like I’m not in the middle of a pandemic. Emotionally, it has also been very straining. My mom is a substitute teacher and she is out of work for the rest of the school year with no pay. I myself am missing my closest friends a lot right now, and feel lonely often.

— Sela Jasim, Branham High School

I struggle a lot with mental health. I have had depression and ptsd, as well as anxiety for years. Seeing people outside of my family is what keeps me sane, especially those closest to me. Having to FaceTime my therapist is weird and scary. Things are so different now, and I’m slowly losing motivation. My thoughts recently have been “don’t think about it” when I think of how long this could possibly last. I am scared for my grandparents, who live across the country. I feel like I haven’t spent enough time with them and I’m losing my chance. Everything is weird. I can’t find a better way to describe it without being negative. This is a really strange time and I don’t like it. I’m trying my hardest to stay positive but that has never been one of my strong suits.

— Caileigh Robinson, Bellingham, Washington

My mom is a nurse so she has to face the virus, in fact today she is at work, her unit is also the unit that will be taking care of coronavirus patients. My whole family is very afraid that she will get very sick.

— Maddie H., Maryland

Appreciating the good

Although we are going through a horrific time filled with all kinds of uncertainty, we are given the opportunity to spend more time with our loved family and learn more about ourselves to a broader extent while also strengthening our mental mindset. I can’t stress the amount of frustration I have to return to class and my everyday routine however, I’ve learned to become stronger mentality while also becoming creative on how I live my life without being surrounded by tons of people everyday.

— anthony naranjo, Los Angeles

Although I could list all the negatives that come with Covid-19, being a junior in high school, this quarantine has been a really nice calm break from a life that seemed to never stop. A break from 35 hour school weeks along with 15 hours worth of work, being able to sit down and do hobbies I missed is something I am really appreciating.

— Ella Fredrikson, Glenbard West, Glen Ellyn, IL

An upside to these past weeks of quarantine is being able to see my usually busy family more, especially my father. I’ve had more talks and laughs with my family the last few days than I’ve had in the past couple of months, which helped lighten such a stressful time in my opinion.

— Marlin Flores, Classical High School

Several months before the outbreak my mom randomly asked me what would I study if I could choose anything, not for a grade, not for any credit. Now, because of corona, I am learning Greek with my father! He can’t travel for work now and doesn’t attend meetings as frequently, so he is at home too.

— Lily, Seoul, Korea

How Can We Help One Another During the Coronavirus Outbreak?

In a series of recent Times articles , authors wrote about the need for solidarity and generosity in this time of fear and anxiety and the need for Americans to make sacrifices to ensure their safety and that of others in their community.

So we asked students what they and their friends, family and community could do to help and look out for one another during the coronavirus outbreak. Here is what they said:

Help your neighbors, especially the sick and elderly.

There are so many things we can do to help each other during this pandemic. Use gloves when you go shopping or are in public, masks if you think that it would be best for you, those who have more wiggle room financially can help out others who don’t have that same wiggle room financially and who are now struggling, buy groceries for those who can’t afford it or are at risk if they were to go out in public. Donate if you can, and help the elderly or those who desperately need it, and for goodness sake wash your hands and (for all that need to hear the reminder) SOCIAL DISTANCING IS A FRIEND. Social distancing is proven to help drastically, so please, social distance.

— Dakodah, Camdenton, MO

As a person, we have the ability to help our friends, families, elders, people with illnesses in our community and people with high risks of getting the virus. We can accomplish this by simply observing who may need help with shopping, for groceries or clothes, with yard work, or any kind of outside work that is done where there are rooms full of people, such as going to the bank. As a younger person and a person with a low risk of getting the virus, I have the capability to walk to places and go in and out of buildings with a smaller chance of getting the virus as compared to one of my elder neighbors. My friends and I can go around the neighborhood and see who needs help during this hard time, whether I have to give them money or food to help them out.

— Adrianna P, New York

Many elderly people in my vicinity suffer from chronic conditions and illnesses and there are others who often live alone. Going to the grocery store or the pharmacy can also be hassle for many. Due to the recent pandemic, people are stocking up necessities however, some people are not being practical and overstock, not leaving anything for others. Fights are breaking out in grocery stores and this is a dangerous situation to put the elderly in.

— Sydney, B

In our American society we tend to be very individualistic. This pandemic has truly proved that point as people do not care for other but themselves. During this time we should consider not only ourselves but the people in need, which are the elderly and young children. Instead of hoarding all the food share some with a neighbor or an old person that doesn’t quite have the ability to run around store to store grabbing what they can. Make sure when you feel ill or if a family member feels ill to stay contained in your home. If this is not an option you could always take your ideas to social media, posting ways to stay clean and making sure we support the people who need it.

— Marley Gutierrez, Pomona, CA

Stay connected.

We could help one another just by the simple ways of: texting your friends every now and then and keep them in check and give them positive reinforcements; call your far away family and report to them on how you are doing and make sure that they are doing OK as well; help elders that are not safe to go out by running errands for them.

— Xammy Yang, California

It’s really important for everyone to stay in contact with others. Be open to talking to people you don’t necessarily talk to all the time just so you can fulfill your own social requirements. It’s also important to listen to others and take into account their feelings. We are all in a time of stress and anxiety about the unknown and we have to just go with the flow and wait it out. I’m stressed about possibly missing milestones in my life, like prom and graduation, but there are others suffering. We all just need to be prepared, stay healthy, and reach out to others.

Stay apart.

The most important thing one can do during this time of uncertainty is to protect oneself, that is how one can protect others. By practicing social distancing, the risk of spreading germs or disease is reduced. From within one’s home, much can be done. Keeping in touch with close friends and family, donating money and food to those in need and not hoarding or stockpiling too much are all things one could do to support one’s community. Every little thing counts.

— Francheska M-Q, Valley Stream North

Honestly, as boring as it sounds, staying home is the best way we can help against the coronavirus. The second best in my opinion would be spreading the word and encouraging others to wash their hands often and to not go in large groups. Our number one priority should be protecting the elderly and people more vulnerable to getting the disease, or more likely for it to be fatal. If I were to get the virus, my chances of death would be very low, but I would be most worried about accidentally passing on the virus to an elderly person who might not be so lucky. Staying home, clean, and avoiding large groups is the safest and best way for us to help in efforts against the coronavirus.

— Christian Cammack, Hoggard High School In Wilmington, NC

Stay informed.

During this time of crisis, seeking accurate information should remain people’s main focus. Reading articles from trusted sources such as the CDC and New York Times rather than sensationalized media that spreads false rumors for attention will improve reactions to this scary situation because it has the potential to reduce panic and allow people to find ways proven to slow the spread of the virus.

— Argelina J., NY

Donate to those in need.

We can help one another during the virus break by doing online donations to people who need it the most, not taking supplies that you know you don’t need, and/or offering online support for those who have relatives that have the virus and want someone to talk to. We, as a community, can keep distance and update each other on the constant updating news.

— Marisa Mohan<3, NY

… donate food to food banks or homeless shelters. Food is even more of a necessity right now, so it is crucial that everyone has what they need because some people get their food from school or from work, which isn’t available at the moment. Finally, even if we feel we’re healthy and we’re not afraid to get the Coronavirus, it is very vital to participate in social distancing because it will help society overall.

— Bridget McBride, Glenbard West HS, Glen Ellyn, IL

Encourage positivity.

In my opinion, we should all do our best to help and encourage each other with healthy habits and staying positive. Too many people are worried about the coronavirus. What will happen because of this is more stress and anxiety. In turn, this leads to people stocking up on products and taking resources from other people who need them. As long as we all contribute and help one another, we will be able to keep things under control.

— Mieko, CA

Learn lessons for future preparedness.

I believe that this horrible trouble we are all put into is teaching our younger generations such as me, to be prepared when these unexpected events happen. We can help the elders and take care of them because if we don’t prepare next time then we will struggle to survive if the coronavirus becomes a long term thing. This situation is also bringing our communities together, or at least teaching us to. We can learn to share resources that maybe we have to much of. Just a couple days ago, my grandma had ran out of cleaning supplies and she didn’t have a working car at the time. My family and I decided to give her some of our extra supplies since we stocked up on so much. I believe that we can definitely use this time to help our minds grow and learn new things.

Things we shouldn’t do

“Desperate times call for desperate measures.” -Hippocrates This quote describes my opinion of the COVID-19 crisis. Our communities must make sacrifices in order to overcome the trials we are facing. Instead of describing what we should do, I am going to shortly convey examples of what our local communities shouldn’t do. We shouldn’t panic. Panic causes the nervous system to spark and will create unsettling emotions that will produce nothing helpful for the situation at hand. We shouldn’t buy abundant amounts of resources unless instructed to. Please be considerate towards these people because they probably are struggling a lot more than you at the moment. We should be mindful of others. I am not saying we have to interact with everyone (DO NOT DO THAT), but I am saying we should be kind when we do interact.

What Story Could This Image Tell?

In our Picture Prompt, “ Social Distancing, ” we asked students to write memoirs and poems inspired by the illustration above, or tell a short story from the perspective of one of the people pictured. In prose and poetry, they expressed a range of responses to the pandemic , from fear, panic and anxiety to resilience and hope.

Creative short stories

From the perspective of the Binocular guy:

I thought social distancing would be great, no one would bother me or interrupt my work. But actually doing it makes me realize that those things, those pains in my neck that would annoy me, are the things I miss the most. I miss the smell of Phyllis’s choking perfume. I miss Michael pacing around the office. I miss the way that Pam would bite her pen when she was focusing. I miss people. Now that I’m alone in my apartment, I hunger for human interaction. I have taken to staring out the window at people walking past and imagining the conversations they have. Oh how I wish to be a part of them, but I can’t risk going outside. I thought my window would cure my loneliness, but it has only made it worse. Social distancing has hurt me more than any virus could.

— Andrew B., Abilene

It’s another day in the city. Car horns honking, people scurrying over town, and there I am. No, not that person or the other. In the upper left corner. Do you see me? Yes, you found me! The only creature not on a screen. I have never understood why they sit there and look at their own devices. I enjoy sitting on the roof and looking at others. People watching is my favorite, but the only thing that most people are watching is a tiny screen. Everyone is wrapped up in their circumstances. Sick in bed with their computer, walking down the stairs with a device. But I’ll be here, waiting for someone to notice me — just the dog on the rooftop.

— Hope Heinrichs, Hoggard High School in Wilmington, NC

Opening to short story for the homeless man:

It’s so cold out today. My blanket is the only that is keeping me partially warm. Before today, my HELP sign got me a few dimes. That way I could buy some food. But today, the streets are empty. The only people passing by either have masks covering their face or run past me with their hands full of food and supplies. I wonder what’s going on?

— Ariel S., Los Angeles

Cold: That’s all he feels as he’s reclining on a random door.

Scared: That’s what he wants to avoid feeling as he sees people coughing around him.

Alone: That’s what he is as he wanders from place to place, looking for somewhere to spend the night.

Worried: That the door’s owner might make him leave his only sanctuary.

Pity: That’s the emotion he evokes on the few that are brave enough to wander the streets.

Remorse: That’s the emotion that the passersby show when they refuse to stop to help.

Cold: That’s all he feels as he realizes that he has no one.

Memoirs in the time of coronavirus

Trapped. The walls are closing in. Someone coughs from outside, I immediately close the blinds and clorox the window. The television is on loud. The person on the other end of the line of dad’s phone is obviously deaf because dad is yelling into our end. In line for the computer, I have been waiting for two hours.

— Allison Coble, Hoggard High School

It all began with just one human. After days there where more and more infected people and everything started to be different. We all thought it isn’t that bad and China is the only one who suffers but we were absolutely wrong … Now there are too much cities which are in quarantine and there are about 16 thousand deaths. I’m scared. And I can#t do anything than staying at home and pray. I often watch videos and try to distract myself. When people ask me what has changed I can say: Everything. The human has changed. The human attitude has changed. Just everything. It’s not surprising for me if you can’t find toilet paper or water. The people are going crazy because of this virus. They know that they can be in danger fast if they just make one false decision. In this time we all have our anxiety. Either we are scared of being infected or we are scared that a loved one is infected.

This pic remind to me that we live in this period. Under from the outbreak of pandemic’s coronavirus, we stop to go out in order to avoid each social contact. So, we stay our home every day, all day. Most of the people stop working regularly and they work from home. The schools and other utilities are closed down and remain still open grocery stores and services for essential products. The whole world is in quarantine. Our effort to be uninfected is captured from this pic.

— Joanna, Greece

This photo shows that even in a time where socializing is not advising, humans are naturally social and are still coexisting in this time of distancing. The way the artist drew this made me feel a sense of separation but also togetherness at the same time, which is similar to the way I feel now. We’re all living our different lives with different situations and yet, we’re all somewhat connected.

— Ella Shynett, Hoggard High School in Wilmington, NC

Its Day 3 of quarantine and its starting to hit. This picture shows us how people are pretty much keeping as much distance away from people as possible. They’re still living their lives normally, just alone. But at my house it’s anything but normal. Every time I touch a light switch, my mom swoops in and wipes it down with a Clorox wipe. When I have to itch my nose, my mom screams at me. But I know deep down she’s just trying to keep me and my sister safe from the virus. She mainly wants to protect my grandma, who is very vulnerable at this time. Its gonna take some time to adjust to this type of living, not seeing friends in person for weeks, or just going to starbucks. But I know that it will all pass in no time and we can go back to living our normal lives. I actually can’t wait for school to start for once.

— Dean, Glenbard West Highschool

Stuck inside with nothing to do I’m really bored can’t think of anything at all :/. All I can do is homework woohoo Cant see my friends all I can do is call Trying to get it all done before its due With this virus I sadly can’t even go to the mall Thinking of you and you and you Can’t wait to go back to school and walk the fourth grade hall!

— Isabella V Grade 4, Jefferson Township, NJ

Poem by The Lady Running With Toilet Paper:

TP TP Why do people have to hoard it It’s the coronavirus, not diarrhea Don’t’ jack up the prices, I can’t afford it One pack, that’s it It’s all I could find To those hoarding the toilet paper You make me lose my hope in mankind

As I rush down the vacant street I pass by some stores Some open, some closed As I scramble past the doors No one seems to be coughing But I can feel it in the air A dull creeping paranoia Assembling into a scare

Up the stairs I make sure to not touch anything Don’t forget to use your elbows Don’t touch the key ring In through the door, drop the TP, wash my hands Wipe down the counter, wipe down the door Make sure to cancel any plans

Sit in solitude Turn on the TV and watch the news All I’m able to think is, “Oh god we’re screwed!”

— Ellinor Jonasson, Minnesota

Is social distancing impractical, when we live at such close proximity, drink tea with the neighbors, or buy food from the Deli,

You could choose to be stubborn, and get frustrated from being indoors, or you could be compliant, And watch the birds soar,

In the end it’s our choice where we decide to look, The dirty wall to the left, or the canvas on the right,

— Saharsh Satheesh, Collierville High School, Tennessee
