The center of the outbreak had closed its schools down in early January. The schools here have also transitioned to online learning as well, however some places lack proper service, meaning that some kids aren't able to keep up with schoolwork. On the positive side, the lack of new cases being heard of in some provinces of China has led to the return of nearly 1.5 million students back to school.

Italy

Italy has suffered a complete shutdown in its system due to the virus. The schools have also tried resorting to online schooling, and it is all but guaranteed that the rest of the academic year is canceled in order to contain the virus.

India

Not as drastic as the other countries, India's normally bustling streets have had an eerie silence in recent news. Schools are being closed, but not on a national scale like other places. However, it is also home to some of the most densely populated cities, so if the the virus spread, there could be many more schools shut down.

U.K.

U.K is shutting down all of the schools except to the children of "key workers" such as social service workers, government officials, etc. The majority of kids are also having to learn at home. The standard tests are to be replaced with unregulated tests at the end of the year.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
