The Covid-19 outbreak has changed our lives in many ways. Many people are in quarantine and feel highly, stressed. The USA currently has had the most Covid-19 cases of any country, 284,000. Already 803,000 victims of that 284,000, have recovered, but sadly, 199,000 victims have passed. Doctors are working 13 hour shifts, and some are contracting the virus. Most people are already stressed and we might have to stay in quarantine through 2021. But as long as we follow the rules, and don’t go out, we will be safe.
The pollution in the world is not helping anyone fight Covid-19. Scientist have found that if you’re breathing in polluted air you are more likely to get Covid-19. Since there are less cars being driven and less flights being taken, the air is 30% cleaner. As the Covid-19 pandemic decreases more people are going out. This is not a smart thing, as more people go out there is a higher chance of a relapse. Even though there are bad aspects to this virus there are also good things. For example, animals are going back to their old habitats, because less cars are being driven!
questions
- will we be in quarantine through 2021?
- Is Covid-19 healing the earth?
- Will there be a relapse?
Dear Alisha,
I like how in your blog about the Coronavirus, you also included how it’s affecting the Earth itself.

Dear Alisha,
Thank you for posting your interesting blog about the pandemic. Perhaps it was a typographical error, but I must disagree with the numbers you quoted in you blog. I believe the number of deaths is actually 65,000 as of today’s date. I agree with your ideas about how its important to follow the rules and stay safe. I also agree that it has been an unexpected benefit to people and wildlife to have less pollution.
Sincerely,
Ellie Howard
Good post Alisha but I am wonder,ing where you got your statistics. As of right now there have been 1,148,853 cases in the US and 66,524 deaths. I am not sure of the global number and maybe that is where you got some that leads to confusion. Who knows what the future will bring but I totally agree with you. Everyone should stay in and socially distance. It is hard but needs to be done.
