also when people are dying they are dying alone cause no ones allowed in the rooms with them and another this is people are becoming incredibly rude and racist again Chinese cause of this
Also love this thread cause so many people are uninformed!!
The only pro I agree with is the climate and pollution one. Lots of animals or plants are coming back because they are actually able to now. Other than that, they really aren’t pros.
I really don’t like it when people are joking over it like that. Like, come on people, many people died from corona and you shouldn’t open your mouth to the devil, as they say.
Tbh I don’t think all the quarantines and social distancing is helping climate change. People are inside more often and so they’re using more electricity, water and gas. People are driving more to avoid public transport plus people are throwing away food items that could have been eaten
You know how scientists are trying to blame climate change on cows farting in fields? Well, I’d like to see them explain why the emotions will have dropped so much when people stopped travelling, because the cows are still farting, right?
I have another major con.
College students are getting fricked over…
If you are claimed as a dependent by your parents for taxes then you don’t get the $1200 stipend
Don’t qualify for the $500 if your over 18
We don’t get a tuition or housing refund
Don’t get to keep on campus jobs
Don’t have student loan forgiveness
I want to comment something about the social distancing. Many people assume that just because someone is introverted, that they enjoy social distancing and that quarantine is ‘no different from their daily life’.
Personally, I would say that I’m introverted around people I don’t know well or don’t feel comfortable with. I don’t like crowds, and I’m not the type of person to just go up to any random person, introduce myself, and strike up a conversation. HOWEVER, I love spending time with my close friends, family, and people who I feel comfortable with. I enjoy interacting with my students at work. I don’t like being 100% alone. So no, social distancing is not something that I’m enjoying right now. I miss my students. I miss my nephews. I miss my friends.
Another pro is that people get to spend more time with their family and pets and that students can finally sleep more since they don’t have to wake up as early as they would have to if school wasn’t closed. And students who work fast can finally have more free time which they don’t have to waste in school. It’s also easier to understand some subjects now, since we can freely plan our lessons and how much time we invest into learning and we can ask our teachers more questions unless they ignore you like mine do. A con is that our online classes aren’t really good and it will be especially bad for the final years since they’ll still have to write the same final exam but won’t have as much time as all other generations to prepare for it.
And another pro is that people finally move out of the way here because we have a rule about a minimum distance in my city
It’s good that people have been polluting less as a result, but all the sickness and economic issues really are terrible. I’d rather that the virus weren’t happening, but it’s good to think about some of the positive things in this situation.
then call themselves Christians…
