Coronacation

With the coronavirus being the biggest part of everyone’s lives right now, I would like to share my perspective and how it has affected me. I agree that there is so much muddled information coming from all sorts of media, some outlets that have no business commenting on the medical behaviors of a virus, that it is very hard to know what is true or what is meant to spark an emotion within a reader. It is impossible to ask to be shown only the truth and facts, but when the vast majority of the information is the furthest thing from being true it is hard to believe what you read. With that being said, there is no questioning that steps had to be taken and reading emails from professors much older and smarter than I am telling me that this is all an overreaction is quite terrifying. Yes, I love sports with my whole heart and hate that Dayton didn’t have a chance to prove itself, both the men’s and women’s teams, in the tournament, but that would put so many people at risk. I would love to be able to watch afternoon baseball while sitting in my parent’s house bored out of my mind, wishing I could be with my friends, but people would be at risk. Yes, the first couple of days that I was home I was pleading my case to be let out of the house so that I could have fun. Then I realized that this is the world right now, there is nothing that I can do to change that, and I need to do what I am told and make the best of it. This time sucks, I wish I wasn’t always stressed that an email telling me something was due is going to get lost in the billion other emails I get, but I am living in it and have to deal with it. I hope that once COVID-19 is under control a little bit people are as nice to each other face to face as they are trying to be on social media right now.
