Accordingly, various institutions were closed, including public schools. Several people and families were quarantined to reduce the possibility of spreading the virus to others.
I remember thinking I wish school would get out earlier than usual because of this virus outbreak. I also remember wondering why in the world was not a single country simply quarantined. The answer to this question seemed to lie within economics. I remember wondering why individuals and families did not have the good sense to quarantine their own selves, sick or not.
