Lockdown

 Lately it’s been crazy, life was quite normal and suddenly in a few days it turned 180 degrees after we were free for 102 days from any new cases of Covid19, Auckland is back to lockdown again.

Due to the fast spread of the virus the Prime Minister decided to go for a lockdown. That means no school, no going to grandmas place, not even the playground. 

Basically you have to stay home to avoid catching the virus. If you have to go out you need to wear a medical face mask and keep 2 meters away from any person to be safe from catching the virus. 

Staying home is not too much fun when you can’t go to school or visit the playground. You can’t visit family or friends and no one can visit you either. 

Now when you look back at your everyday life it makes you appreciate the simple things we took for granted. It is amazing what we once took for granted! I didn't realise how much I needed to be around people until this lockdown!

It made me appreciate going to school everyday and seeing my friends, having fun together in the lunch break or even practicing for class assembly. All these simple things that we all took for granted are now forbidden for everyone’s safety. 

We all have to stay home otherwise things might get out of hand If the virus spreads in our community faster than anyone can handle. 

Sometimes you feel angry, scared or worried not knowing what will happen next but then you tell yourself We’re going to get through this as we did before.
