STUCK AT HOME

Hi guys!
My name is Steve, I am fifteen and I live in the suburbs of London in
a small terraced house with my parents, Garett and Kate and my two
sisters Ann, seven, and my other little sister Sue, who is two. Mum
stopped sending us to school a few days ago and the government
decided to close all schools in the UK last Friday. But why? Well, like https://medium.com/@ThunderPuff/fun-things-to-

millions of people in the world we are stuck at home to help slow down the transmission of that deadly
virus: the Covid -19 which attacks people’s lungs, also called Corona virus because it looks like a crown,
bloody crown I would say. It all started in a city in China, Wuhan in December 2019 from some bats and
pangolins on a market. Then, they decided total confinement there, but because of all the means of
transport and people travelling it has slowly spread all through the entire world with countries more or less
concerned. At first, we were asked to wash our hands regularly, to cough in our elbows and respect
distances between people, but people didn’t really realize the threat, so in Europe the situation got terrible
in Italy first where total confinement was decided followed by Spain, France etc. So now we must all stay at
home as much as possible, teachers send us work thanks to the internet, when it works !!!! Then we play
games (video games or board games) we read, we watch TV or listen to music. Mum is working from home
as well, but Dad, has to go to work as he is a doctor in the Royal Brompton Hospital in London! He is getting
very worried because he sees more and more ill people, and this illness is very dangerous for elderly and
fragile ones. Thank God, we have a little back garden, because staying all confined can be scary sometimes,
especially when my little sister Sue starts crying. I can’t imagine how people manage in small flats in big
buildings. But as Dad says, I am afraid this is what we all have to do if we want to slow down the
propagation of that virus and save as many lives as possible. So take care of yourselves and your dear
ones!! And don’t forget to thank doctors and nurses for all their work!!!
Best wishes!!
Steve
