Since 2020 was such a crazy year I decided to summarize it.
First of all this is a world-wide problem and it has affected everyone on the planet. Even though there is a vaccine for the coronavirus but I don’t think that the corona virus will fully go away because many people in the world won’t be able to afford the vaccine. The most affected countries from the pandemic are The United States, India, Brazil and Europe. Since the UK has gotten a new virus this will be harder to recover from. I really hope that the vaccine can reach all around the world so that people can get free from this terrible pandemic.
Talking about countries this brings me to the country that I stay at, Singapore. In Singapore lockdown started in April and the goverment said all of the restaurants would have to be closed for a month but soon we found out that it would be way more than a month. We couldn’t go outside other than shopping and exercise so we were all just stuck at our houses most of the time. All students started online school and online school actually wasn’t hard but it was boring because we couldn’t hang out with our friends or talk with them during classes. But now we have finished lockdown and we can all go outside of the house but we still have to wear masks and we have to scan a QR code whenever we go inside a shop or place for contract tracing. The coronavirus was not really spreading at the community level but most of the cases are from the worker’s dormitories and imported cases. Overall the situation in Singapore is thanksfully well managed and there are no new infections in the community at this point.
My family during the coronavirus wasn’t actually that bad, we as a family we did more things together like for example we played a little bit of badminton, biking, working out and running. One thing that was good about lockdown is that I got to spend more time with my parents. We also learned how to wakesurf but that was after lockdown. During lockdown everything was online so sometimes I had to take a break from screens because I kept getting headaches and I didn’t really enjoy online school either just in general I thought that normal school was better because we got to interact with students as well as teachers. When school went back to normal I enjoyed it way better and I was very happy and joyful. Our whole family was safe during the pandemic and luckily none of our family members have caught the coronavirus. We also moved into a house which was really enjoyable. My whole family except for my older brother stayed in Singapore and we missed our grandparents and cousins a lot. The worst thing about the pandemic to me is that we can’t go visit our family members and we can’t travel that was a very sad thing to me because I love traveling.
2020 was not the best year for the world but my 2020 wasn’t actually that bad, and I hope that 2021 can make the world and everyone more happy.
