Coronavirus

   Today in class, we first got new assigned seats. Also, Mr. Schick made us all put our phones up in the holder and he made assigned numbers for everyone. He seemed very prepared and enthusiastic today. Once we sat down and the bell rang, Mr. Schick told us that he wanted to talk about the Coronavirus that is spreading, not only in the U.S., but all over the world. He told us that it is a serious virus that is going around. He told us some facts about Coronavirus and told us that it affects the lungs. That is why older people and smokers are more at risk of getting the virus. People are now starting to realize that this is important because many schools are being closed and using online classes instead, and more people are becoming infected. Of these people, Tom Hanks and his wife have tested positive for Coronavirus. People are feeling affected because many people are fans of him, and it shows that they really need to start being careful. Mr. Schick talked about all the pre-cautions we need to take, and took about five minutes describing how people should be washing their hands, scrubbing thoroughly between your fingers, and not just rinsing the soap down the drain. He told us about how he wipes down every desk at the beginning and end of each day to prevent the spread of germs. He also told us to take some hand sanitizer at the end of class to use, and even use on our phones. This class was very interesting because we talked about a real-life issue that is affecting people (within our county!).
