Quarantine Life
in Coronavirus ·
So, I’m at school and something incredibly frustrating just went down. One girl in my class had her parents catch COVID, and then she started showing symptoms herself. She was clearly feeling under the weather starting Monday, yet she kept showing up to class all the way through Wednesday. It wasn't until Thursday—when she finally stayed home to self-isolate and take a test—that she actually came back positive. Because of this totally reckless behavior, both me and several of my classmates have been ordered into mandatory isolation. I honestly want to know if there’s any accountability for this kind of thing, especially since our homeroom teacher clearly isn't doing her job to monitor these situations. This girl knew there was a massive chance she was contagious, but she chose to leave the house anyway, putting everyone she came into contact with at risk and basically stealing ten days of our lives.
