Soooo... It is July, 2020. 2020 was supposed to be an awesome year. But then COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease - 2019) happened. It's a virus that originated in Wuhan city, China. I've heard a few different theories on how it actually became infectious to humans. At first it was just a virus that China had and was making a big deal over... until it got to America. Then people started "taking it more seriously". It's hard to remember how it started off here, because it only got more exaggerated. The CDC said that if you got the virus, any other sickness, or if you just don't feel well then you had to self-quarantine for 14 days to keep from spreading it to others. Oh! And America invented this new term called "Social distancing", which means you have to stay 6 feet away from everyone around you. Plus, you should wear a mask! And Gloves. And have plexiglass between cashiers and the people who are checking out. Things just got worse. AND, all the doctors and scientists are trying to scare the country with COVID! They say "The death cases are rising! 142,755 people have already died of COVID-19, and there have been almost 4 million confirmed COVID cases". Wow! Scary! But when you do the math... only 0.04% of people with COVID die. 0.04%!!! Gosh, quit exaggerating! Anyways it's only going to get worse. I keep saying that when me and my siblings have kids we're going to tell them about what life was like before 2020. How no one had to wear masks... in fact that it was illegal to cover your face in a public area. So that's what's been going on with COVID-19. (BTW me and Dad think that the family has already had it, and that we were just asymptomatic.)Here Are Just a Few Exciting Things That Happened Between February And July:
Literally 1 1/2 weeks before Corona invaded America... Hannah almost broke her face on a softball. She was playing around on the field after one of my games with another teammate. Our dad and another dad where throwing softballs from the outfield into the infield and Hannah and her friend would run up to them and try to hit them on the run, with their bat, back to the outfield. Well it was supposed to be Hannah's turn to run up and hit it but the friend ran in front of her and tipped the ball off the bat. It flew back and hit Hannah right under the eye. We left about an hour later and took her to the hospital. She got a CAT scan which showed that she had no broken bones. So she was fine, it just hurt. But... The next day mom and dad were going to leave for Las Vegas. They still left since Hannah was fine. But she had some bad bruising on her face. This is a picture of her a few days after the incident...
She was OK though.My whole Challenge B class wrote a short story the last semester. It was basically a book or story that was up to ten pages long. Well mine ended up being like 16 pages long, but my teacher (Mom) said it was OK. I pretty much just made an extended version of the Nancy Drew book called The Mystery of the Lilac Inn. I used the same criminal and had her come back for revenge on Nancy. Then I created my own detective who actually solves the mystery. I've started making more books so maybe I'll have a type of series of short stories.
← This is the book of short stories that my whole class did
This is my short story in it's own hardcover case. (mom and dad did that for me for my birthday) →
I fell like I have to show you this picture. This is Molly but we like to call her a "pathetic loser" when she tries to claim our beds as hers...
There is so much more I could tell you about... birthdays, and road trips, and hanging out with friends...but this post is already pretty long so that's it for now!😁
