The Coronavirus is a virus that started in China and spread across the world.
It is most dangerous to the elderly or people with an underlying health condition.
Well, it's something that you can catch
and it's not nice.
It's a cough. "Is it just or cough or is it anything else?"
And it's an illness and it kills people.
A germ.
An illness that you can pass onto other people quite easily.
"What happens if you have Coronovirus?" You get really ill if you're a grown up and an old grown up,
and you get a little bit of a cold if you're a child or a young grown up.
"Is there anyone that you know that's died from it?"
Grandad Bob. "Grandad Bob?" "And how does that make you feel?" Sad. "It makes me sad too."
"How has Coronavirus changed the way you live at the moment?"
It's made my friends not be able to visit.
And I can't visit them and I'm missing all my friends so much,
and I can't go to school and I can't do most things and I can't be as independent as I was.
I've not been able to do play dates with my friends or see the rest of my family,
and most of the time I'm stuck indoors.
Me and my sister, we switch around to my Dad's house sometimes and then my Mum's sometimes.
I'm just stuck at home for most of the time and yeah, I just feel a bit lonely at points, some points.
It's changed everything.
"What is the best thing about being in lockdown?"
You've, like, so much more time to have fun, to explore, to find new interests,
and just experiment with things that you wouldn't have had time to do before, because other things got in the way.
You can just open your creativity and just like, be free because you have so much time to do whatever you want.
Well, I guess I can feel comfortable wearing my own clothes at home,
but I don't feel like I'm in a working environment so sometimes I can get slightly distracted.
It does mean having a lot more time with my family and I can see my Dad more often.
The best thing about being in Lockdown is that we spend more time with our friends and family,
and we learn what is important to us and what we need, rather than what we want.
It gives you different talents that you didn't know you had, but now you do, like drawing and playing the piano.
"And why did we have to stay at home?"
Because if you're used to going normal, then you'll probably be close to each other,
and that is how germs get passed on.
"And when we see grandpa what happens then, are you allowed to touch him?"
No. "And why's that?" Because he can get Coronovirus from you if you have it.
"And does that worry you?" Yes. "Okay."
"And if you feel a bit frustrated or sad what are the kind of things you like to do?"
Reading my book, which is down here, which is Percy Jackson. "Okay." Which is a really good book and I really enjoy.
And, doing Minecraft on my computer, which is really nice and that kind of takes my mind off things.
What makes me sad about the Coronavirus is that more and more people are dying every day.
So many people are suffering from it and dying from it,
and, most people are looking at the Lockdown part and what they are doing,
rather than noticing the suffering and what the Coronovirus actually is.
"What do you do when you're sad?" When I feel sad I do some deep breathing,
and I talk to my friends and tell my Mum and Dad and I play with my sister to cheer me up.
"What activities are you looking forward to?"
In school there's something different happening every day and you don't get to play football or see anyone.
"Is that hard?" Yeah.
I kind of like school, and I kind of don't.
I don't really want to go back to school because I'm enjoying the freedom of being at home,
and school causes you a lot of stress and, at the moment, I can do things on my own time,
although I do want to be able to go out and do things like normal.
Well, we're only going to be going back to school for two days so, yeah, I'm kind of feeling it a lot.
I don't really see much of a point just going back for only two days,
but it just will be nice to see everyone in person so yeah.
I'm looking forward to meeting up with my friends again and then we can just like play football together and talk together.
Just like play dodge ball and yeah, you can just like hang out together again,
and just like be with each other, cos', like, it's been so long and I just like want to see them again.
