​Will America Be In Lock Down During Christmas And In 2021?

The second COVID wave has hit America and many states are in the red zone and being locked down. We may spend Christmas stuck inside.

​Will America Be In Lock Down During Christmas And In 2021?

We started 2020 in the wrong foot. Between January and February COVID-19 happened. So far just in Suffolk County alone there have been 61,072 cases and 2,053. In the beginning, we lost so many lives. People were separated from their loved ones and there was a moment now in the summer that things were controlled. Things were being opened up again, still 6 feet apart and wearing masks but we got to hang out with our family and friends.

A while back, it was mentioned that a second wave would hit America and come back stronger. As spoken, it is currently happening. Especially now that winter is coming, we will end the year on the wrong foot, again.

Today, there are many states that are considered the red zones because there have been more than 100 new cases per 100,000 residents in the week. During this second wave, we have seem more cases and deaths then it first began back in March.

We must take precautions and be safe. We need to start stacking up toilet paper, canned foods, water and anything else you can get your hands on. While many states are being locked again, it is December and the chances of America being "closed" during the holidays are pretty high. After reopening many places, we may need to close them up again and stay home.

We may have to be quarantined again during Christmas if COVID still rises.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
