Report transcript in: Staying at home during the Covid-19 pandemic
Please Report the Errrors?
How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect you?
It didn't really affect me. I still, like, still stayed in contact with my friends.
The only thing that happened was we had to go online for school,
and I didn't really have the motivation in the
second year of Covid to go to online school.
So my mom thought it was best to go back to,
like in person that they were letting us have.
But we still had to wear like masks and sanitise every time we could
and only take masks off like during the meeting.
Was it difficult to
go back to school after staying in online school?
Yeah,
because on in online school we could You could wake up
whenever you want because they just put assignments in the thing
and had videos already premade.
So
it was hard to be like getting started to get up early and like being social again
instead of just hanging around around my family.
Was it easy to learn over
online school, or was it hard on?
I don't think I learned anything.
I think I just, like,
repeated the stuff that they already taught us earlier in the year.
Mm
How long did
the online schooling
last?
It lasted, like for one full year, and then it went on and off for the next year.
Mhm.
How did how was it to be in
isolation If you could call that it was your family?
It didn't feel really like isolation because I live on, like,
a big acreage. And so, like, there's lots of room
to
spread out. Like my whole family.
We could be somewhere and feel like we're not even there
because we have horses. We could go for a ride, so it didn't really feel like lockdown
in my own home. And
how did it affect
you going into the city and stuff? You just had to wear masks everywhere,
and
I have to keep distance. It didn't really affect anything else
except for, like having to wait outside because the limit was reached.
Is there something about
the pandemic that affected you or your family? That
was difficult.
Um, my grandma actually, like she had lung problems,
so she was really scared of getting covid.
So she got like, the vaccine as soon as she could,
and she got, like, our whole family on board with getting the vaccine.
And
so whenever we could, we got the vaccine,
and
she had we had to bring groceries to her because she was too scared to go out and, like,
get it herself.
Because she's, like, elderly elderly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What did you do in your normal life at home during the pandemic?
Oh,
mostly, just, like, sat in my bed because I didn't have motivation to do much else.
Um, after the
like,
after
there were less restrictions,
did you become more active?
And how did it affect your health?
Mentally and physically, I got more active,
like I started going to like after school sports again.
And my friends came over a lot.
So it's like, started getting me, like,
less, like, stuck in my mental health and stuff
like I actually wanted to do stuff
mhm.
After you started to become more,
um,
acts of
the Jew
signed
the motivation to
learn more in school and focus more. And
so I still like I never actually like got the motivation for school back
because it because we could go online at any time.
So
we had
no motivation to actually go in on my go in
in person school.
Mm.
How
What? What kind of,
um,
like
mood was in the classroom when you said it?
It wasn't
It was, like, really sombre. Like everyone was quiet,
like
no one was like.
So
then it changed a lot after the
after you came back.
So
yeah, it started getting like
everyone started talking again, like, less
depressed
from the covid.
But it's still
quiet.
Yes.
