COVID-19, Coronavirus, Lockdown, Deaths, Quarantine, Self-isolation…these are all the common keywords I have been hearing for the past one month. This tragedy of COVID-19 has impacted my daily life as well as the lives of many others. Due to this, I have been staying at home or quarantining since Wednesday 18th March 2020. 

In this article, I wanted to share the positives (hard to find) and the negatives of this pandemic and how it has changed my one month of staying at home. This is just my own experience of what happened to me and feel free to comment below if you have been quarantining and your experience. I have also left some sources of any information, all information correct as of 18th April 2020, and please don’t take my word for anything. So here I shall get started.

This is my third article of the four articles I will be posting about my one-month quarantine experience so stay tuned for the other last one and check out the previous two :).

I Have Resisted The Temptation Of Going Out 

As I have mentioned in my previous articles, the weather where I live has mostly been amazing with the sun peeking through the clouds and the soft breeze is very nice. However, all I do is look out of my window and resist the temptation of going out as I want to put in my bit and follow what the government is saying.

I Found Out That Prime Minister Boris Johnson Contracted COVID-19

Boris Johnson and coronavirus: the inside story of his illness

This was very upsetting to find out in the midst of the already saddening Coronavirus cases increasing every day. Everyone was praying for him to get well soon.

We All Have Appreciated The NHS More

NHS We Love You: Thanking the heroes saving lives on the frontline

As a community, we are truly more grateful for the NHS more than ever as they are risking their own lives to save others’ lives. The Clap For Carers is very heartwarming to me and I believe that even after this pandemic goes, we should clap for all the workers of this country who try to make this country the best it can be.

I Have Started To Learn New Skills

In my opinion, this is the perfect time to learn that skill you have always wanted to learn or subscribe to that course you have always wanted to watch. I have definitely been doing that and therefore, I have started learning new skills, such as building my own website and even learning how to cook. I have definitely benefited from this.

I Have Been Reading More

As well as learning new skills, I have also been reading more. Reading is one of those things I love to do but when I go to school, I am busy and I don’t get enough time to do much of it. At this period, I have been reading more and gaining more knowledge. 

This was the third out of the four articles I will be posting about my quarantine experience. All my thoughts go to those who have loved ones who are suffering from this horrible disease or who have contracted COVID-19 themselves. Please stay at home if you are advised to do so and only go out if it is necessary. Pray to God and take care of yourself and your family and stay happy and healthy :). Check out my other articles:
