So, I got COVID. I’ve been in quarantine for 7 days now with two of my close friends and my suit mate. We all got it at the same time, but contrary to what we all expected, we got it without going to a party or big gathering. We were just hanging out in our room. Our school organized our quarantine to be in on-campus apartments which are for upper-classman. We received a text from New York State on the morning after we received a PCR, antibody test that we needed to move into isolation and shortly after received calls from our school which outlined the best means to move over. We had seen people wearing KN95 masks, lugging bags, pillows, and bedding from their rooms and assumed they were going into quarantine, but now it was us. I was with one of my closest friends at the time we received the text, and strangely enough, we weren’t shocked at all. If anything, we were shocked we hadn’t tested positive any sooner. It was almost to be expected that we would have covid ever after our first two vaccines and booster shot. Isolation is pretty much as I expected, possibly more fun. We were able to watch all of the Harry Potter movies (which I had never seen) though I almost fell asleep several times. We mostly had mild symptoms, but I have never been so exhausted in my life. Compounding with our new uncomfortable beds, COVID exhausted our bodies to where we only wanted to sleep and were motivated to do little work while we were awake. Looking at a computer screen gave me a headache and reading made me tired. Let’s just say I am very behind on work

No. The pandemic has not changed my political views. I am conservative in my views. That does not stop me from practicing hand washing, and masking. I thought that Trump did the right thing when he closed travel from China early last year, but the opposition called him a racist. He said that we were going to have a vaccine at the end of the year - he was criticized and laughed at for that. The construction of the wall has been stopped. Expect illegal entries and problems associated with an open border to increase. The WHO has come to the conclusion that the virus did not come from a lab in Wuhan; that it might have come from meat products from Australia. What!!? Impeachment is a process of removing someone in office. Yet majority of the US senators voted to proceed with the impeachment process. It boggles my mind that these people are in office!
