Hello, my name is Mia Cable. It is currently the 22nd of May 2020. From late 2019 to this present day, a global pandemic known as Covid-19 has spread and has killed over 328,000 people. In Australia we have done many things to help prevent the spread of coronavirus and have helped one another feel reassured that our new rules can keep us safe.

To help stop coronavirus we have had many rules put in place. We have had to practice good hygiene, social distancing, quarantine and isolation. Now we are almost half way through 2020, and a lot of the restrictions have eased and we can now return back to school and hangout with our friends. For about 6 weeks no one was allowed to see their friends or go out of their house unless if you were going to get groceries or to exercise.

My experience with quarantine has been very boring but has also given me time to practice my surfing. Because we had to stay home from school, we had to do all of our classes online. I hated online school because I wasn't able to see my friends physically in class and sitting in front of a computer screen was quite boring and gave me countless headaches.

To keep me busy, I played a lot of Minecraft with my friends. I also watched Netflix everyday and surfed almost every afternoon after school with my dad. Although the majority of quarantine was boring, I can now say that I have lived through a global pandemic!. It helped me to realise that school is much better then staying home and it made me very grateful for being able to hangout with my friends.
