Blog #5 Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020

Never did I think I would be teaching from the friendly confines of my favorite recliner in my house!  However, this is the reality I am facing right now. 

Schools are closed.  The IHSA has shut down the end of winter sports and the beginning of spring sports.  March Madness is cancelled. There are no NBA games.  MLB sent everyone home from Spring Training.  Restaurants are closed for dining.  There is no toilet paper!!!!!!  The list goes on and on. 

Yet, I believe that we will find a way to persevere and get through all of this because we have each other.  We won't turn our backs on our family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers.  Things will get better at some point and we will all not take our freedoms for granted in the future. 

What are your thoughts about all of this?  How has your life been impacted by this?  There are plenty of connections that you can make to Sociology.  What are they? 

This blog assignment will continue through the end of the semester.  It is a a way for all of us to read each other's thoughts and most importantly, DISCUSS what we are thinking and feeling.  It gives us a chance to connect to others and we all will desperately need that contact as we are quarantined.   The blog will still be due every other Friday.  Comments will still need to be made by Mondays at 8:30am.

You are not required to write on this prompt.  You can still write on something of your liking as long as you can connect it to Sociology.  Don't forget to use a hyperlink and incorporate that into what you are writing.
