Covid-19 has affected the U.S tremendously since it started. Many people have suffered from this virus and died from this virus and still is happening to this day. It took a lot away from the people: many people lost their jobs, home, money and etc. This is a tragic experience many people or even all people are dealing with. A lot of people have gone mad because of a lot of places that closed down and that we have to wear masks. According to Johns Hopkins University, “22 million Americans have filed for unemployment benefits. Technical glitches have prevented millions of Americans from receiving their stimulus checks.” It was mandatory for people not to have big gatherings/parties no more than 10 people, and to take more procedures because it would be more of a high risk for covid-19 to continue spreading so rapidly. According to the CDC, “Invited guests who live with those at higher risk should also consider the potential risk to their loved ones.” It also advises, “When guests arrive, minimize gestures that promote close contact. For example, don’t shake hands, do elbow bumps, or give hugs. Instead wave and verbally greet them.” Many people are tired of wearing masks, and some people would go places without a mask and that’s dangerous because that can risk other people’s health. But then when some people do wear masks, it can get hard for them to breath and most people have to wear a mask while at work. And it can be overwhelming for some people. According the University of Maryland, it says, “Myth: The way you wear a mask is not important.” This goes for people that think wearing a mask any type of way is okay. Then, “Fact: Wearing a mask correctly is the key to making it effective at preventing the spread of the coronavirus.” According to the CDC, a cloth face mask needs to have the following in order to be effective: · Cover both your nose and mouth · Fit snugly but comfortably against the sides of the face · Be secured with ties or ear loops · Have multiple layers of fabric · Allow for unrestricted breathing In conclusion many people have and are still suffering from the covid-19 pandemic. Some people still want to try and live a normal life, but it's only going to put themselves and others at risk. So it is very important that people take the covid-19 procedures seriously and slow down the spread of covid-19.

Well done. It drives me crazy that people are stupid and don't wear their masks correctly. I want to get back to seeing people, and these idiots are making it last longer.
