A letter from April 6th, 2020

Peaceful right?

Dear Future Me, The world is a scary place this year. There is this virus called the Coronavirus but if you want to be scientific, its called Covid-19. We've basically lost the rest of our year. The main cause of this is a Chinese person eating a bat, which seems a bit odd but it is what it is. I hope that in 1 year from now, there will be a cure or maybe even a vaccine. If it's still going to be a recurring thing in the upcoming years, I hope to be a nurse and help everyone. I am praying for the nurses who have to go through this difficult time. We are in a quarantine which means (if you forgot already) that you basically have to stay in your home for a period of time if they've been exposed to something bad. I have been watching tv, playing video games and eating. Its not very fun and I hope that summer can make up for this boring time. To me this will be over with maybe in a few months but if not maybe by the time my future self will be reading this. I hope your Junior year is not as stressful as it sounds. With love, Past Jessica
