My family and I have been quarantined for weeks. It is very bad in our area (Westchester, New York) and I don’t see this ending any time soon.
Everyday I wake up scared I will hear that a family member or friend of mine has caught the illness. I have already have had one family member pass and many scares.
My family and I have been staying inside the house as much as we can. Only going to the grocery store when we absolutely have to. It has been hard to shop. My area has a strict restriction on the amount of products you can buy so we, as a family of 8, have struggled to buy enough food for all of us.
In other stores like our CVS, they lock the doors and only let a few people in at a time. Once you can go in, you must stand on the orange tape X’s on the ground when on line and there are large plastic drapes separating you from the employees.
For me and my family, it gets scarier as the days past, especially since I have two immediate family members at risk (my mother and father). I pray that this ends soon for the sake of everyone’s health and so that I can resume my life as a 20 year old college student
