Is The Lockdown Working?


Is The Lockdown Working?

Is lockdown working? I think it is but do you? Its good in some ways but in others it is bad.
It is good because there have been less cases . Its good because we've had a lot of time to spend with our family. But most of all we have had a lot less deaths than most places in the world. But what is the cause for needing to be in lockdown? It is Coronavirus.

 But what is Coronavirus?
Coronavirus is a highly contagious disease that has spread all over the world . Millions are sick but at least 1/3 has recovered . sadly 246 thousand have died . How does it spread though. It spreads when someone infected couges , sneezes .And if your near and you breath then you will get it . you could also get it by touching a contaminated surface then eyes , nose or mouth.

Lastly I think there has been something better than anything else - the homeless have not been staying on the streets they have had places to stay to live during Covid-19 . so I guess lockdown is working for most people .

MY WRITING

As my foot dipped into the numbing chilly water the engine roared the tip of my single ski pointed to the sky the engine started I was up skimming through the glistening water I felt heart pounding my gut was telling me don’t fall of don't fall off but my heart was telling me I was doing great  I tried to do some turns but  splash

 I was in the freezing cold water then I tried again and again and again this is going to be the last time 

I said to myself whizzing through the water I tried a turn expecting to fall of I didnt I did it again and didn't fall of I  could single ski I said to myself we headed back to my campsite that was awesome I said to my dad.
