Question 1

I think one of the main symptoms is when a person has a temperature of over 37.5.

Question 2

I heard about it around November 2019. I thought it would come and go quickly but it hasn't and it has hung around with many people perishing.

Question 3

My family and I always wear masks to prevent illness.

Question 4

At the start of the outbreak I saw it as low risk, then when it exploded I got worried. Living with the threat of COVID has become normalized.

Question 5

My routine has largely stayed the same. My work has remained unchanged but for a month or two of online lessons.

Question 6

I think there may be a post-covid economic boom. I base this theory on what happened after the Spanish Flu.
