This week during quarantine, I was able to leave and go shopping at Firewheel. I figured since the restaurants were able to open at 25% and most people are stir crazy that they be busy. However, to my surprise, there was barely anyone out and made me rethink the way people have reacted to the news of the virus. In recent news, the total cases in the US alone are now 1 million with roughly 67,000 deaths. In Texas, most cases are in Dallas county, and with the rhetoric from the news surrounding the infection rate and nature which the virus picks and chooses its victims. I feel like the news has overreacted and have used fear tactics to keep the country as a whole locked down for an unreasonable amount of time. I’ve met and seen the two types of people, one who just doesn’t care if they get the virus or not and they live their normal life. Then the other one who lives in fear that even an Amazon delivery guy can’t deliver a package to the person’s door, without the person thinking any contact with others will give them the virus. The majority of the population are these people thinking that anyone they have contact with will infect them, and this is what the media and the democrats want, so the country is locked down for as long as it can, to further kill the economy, and swing an election.This week during quarantine, I was able to leave and go shopping at Firewheel.

This semester I’ve learned to critically think and relate the old text to issues we face in the world in the present day. Also, I learned how to adapt to abnormal situations, such as this quarantine and online schooling. I didn’t achieve everything I wanted to, however, my objectives did change once online school began. My plan was always to put my best foot forward when facing tough assignments and to give my all. I drafted ideas better during the semester and I realized that even when I overthink, I actually am critically thinking. I needed to improve my motivation to do a smaller assignment such as the blogs. It wasn’t that I thought they were hard to do, or that I didn’t have the time, I simply made the conscious decision every week not to do them. I know I can accomplish many big things and I needed to include smaller things as they are important as well. So as this is only the 4-5th blog I’ve written, I regret not putting in the effort to complete them.
