What is it like working from home?

So far I am getting use to working from home and I feel like working from home is less stressful. We only have to attend three classes per day and the workload isn't too much in my opinion. However, group projects can sometimes be difficult to complete since we don't attend school and have to communicate with group members through digital interactions. Also, working at home seems to cause me to slack off more and sometimes it can be hard to make yourself motivated in order to complete the work that has been assigned. My home also is starting to become more noisy as my family is all stuck at home and sometimes have things of their own that they do. 

Your own personal feelings and thoughts about what is happening right now.

I at first enjoyed not going to school since I didn't have to wake up at 6 am in the morning everyday for school. However as more and more time passes by, I am starting to miss going outside and being able to do normal things like going outside without a mask. I think that the corona-virus will soon be over soon since social distancing seems to be effective in preventing the spread of the virus. It's been pretty strange in my opinion to not leave my house for about a month and I sometimes feel bored with being stuck in the house. Everyone I know seems to be doing well and they don't seem to have any problems so I don't worry for anyone. Hopefully the virus will go away soon and everyone can just live normally again.

What are the updates around the world/community regarding the virus?

Governor Cuomo announced that school will be closed for the rest of the school year and that it might be even longer. So far, more than 18,000 people have died in the New York state. There is 1.1 million confirmed cases of people infected with corona-virus, and more than 300 thousand of those cases are from New York. About 133 thousand people have recovered from the corona virus in the US as of now and almost 64 thousand have died. Considering the entire world, there are 3.28 confirmed cases of the corona virus and about 1 million have recovered. Many are starting to get tired of the lock down in other states as the news reports about protesters who want to reopen the economy while others are saying that it's still too early to lift the lock down.
